The Queen and Her King

VK Day (Part One)

Oh, we were so young and naive back then.

The distinct knocking on my door let me know he was here, I say distinct because he knocks on a certain rhythm. I jogged on over to my office door and pulled it open and immediately stepped out to Harry,

"Hey there my love, you ready?"

I said with excitement, he chuckled and nodded,

"I sure am, goodness I'm basically jumping out of my skin right now"

He said with a childlike bright smile. I giggled and leaned against my door frame some,

"I can only imagine, I'm just so glad you're going to have so many people here now. Your sisters, the twins, your best buddy, you'll finally have people here"

Harry furrowed his brow with a smile,

"Wha do ya mean? I have ya, yer my best friend"

He for some reason sucked back after saying that, maybe he didn't mean to say that? Nonetheless, it made me really happy hearing that so I just smiled wider,

"I'm your best friend? Is that a bad thing?"

He nervously laughed and scratched the back of his neck, looking around some and looking a little embarrassed and everything,

"Ah uhm, no, it's just I- uh didn't mean ta say that cause it could sound like I'm trying ta suddenly friend zone y-"

I cut him off by laughing some, my goodness he was nervous there. He looked a bit like a deer in headlights for a second, like he was frightened about what I'd say,

"Har, you're my best friend too. It just means we get along really well, I can be your girlfriend and your best friend and you can be my boyfriend and my best friend at the same time. That's how I believe it should be, no need to fret over word choice love"

I said whilst continuing to laugh some, he took a sigh of relief and his anxious energy ceased. However now he paused and relaxed for a second, his eyes slowly looking around me it seemed. I could feel the blush creeping onto my cheeks just from his eyes being on me, goodness I'm a mess,

"Ya look so charming as a pirate- well I-I mean ya look charming all the time"

He quickly seemed to correct himself, what is with him? He's never been so nervous around me, not even when we first met. Recently he has gotten a bit quieter, tiptoes around more too it's a little odd to me. I furrowed my brow some,

"Har are you alright? You aren't being possessed by Uma again right?"

His eyes widened some and quickly shook my head and took a step towards me, gently grasping my hands in his,

"No no, I'm alright- I mean I've never been better"

It's as if he can't put his words together how he wishes, it's a little concerning. I took a moment and just stared into his eyes as the eyes are the windows into the soul. I intently stared up at him with soft eyes and a small smile,

"Something is on your mind Har, I know you better than that. What is it?"

I'm genuinely a little concerned, this is the worst his anxiety has been around me like ever. What could be so worrying in his mind that could lead him to act like this? He intently stared back at me, I could see the internal gears shifting in his eye. He then slowly leaned forward and down and planted a soft kiss on my forehead, taking one hand from one of my hands and gently placing it on the back of my neck. I felt his kiss part from my forehead however his lips stayed close as he spoke,

"No need ta worry about it, I'm just over-excited about.... VK day.. yeh VK day and all"

He softly spoke, but something about that I didn't buy. He did put me at ease some more when he gave me a reassuring happy smile that did look genuine,
