"I seriously hate you so much."
"Stop saying that."
"You're the worst."
"Nina..."
"The worst."
"I'm sorry, are you trying to break up with me because you think it's my fault I look good while you're photographing me?" Harry asked, hands on his waist.
"Precisely." Nina nodded, lowering her camera, "This is one of your hottest looks, H. I hate it. I don't want to work when you look like that." She motioned towards him, eyes going over his black leather suit, lingering on his chest.
Harry laughed, approaching her before hooking his finger to her suit trousers' belt hoop and bringing her closer with a bite of his lip, fully knowing what he was doing.
"Jeff's here." Nina said quietly with a bashful smile.
"Talking on the phone," he said, leaning down to press his lips against hers in a kiss, "You look so fucking beautiful."
"Yeah?" She glanced at herself, her lips twitching to a wide smile at her outfit.
In a lilac-coloured suit, the blazer Nina wore had a V-cut, buttoned by one single pale yellow button. Slim suit trousers complimented her legs, black boots on her feet.
Her hair was in a low bun, middle parting and all.
While Alessandro had offered her Gucci apparel, Nina had politely declined and instead decided to design the simple suit with a working-from-home university student whom Nina had seen take to Twitter to talk about how the pandemic affected their financial stability.
The process of designing the suit with Pattie, a beautiful trans woman, was a blast for Nina, and Harry could see that.
Perhaps it was why one night, Pattie called Nina, crying and screaming because Harry had liked their posts on Instagram, resulting in orders being made and contacts reaching out to them.
Initially, Harry had wanted Nina to match with him and wear checkered, especially since this was their first time getting seen together in such a big, official event like that, and since she was the first woman he was with whom he wanted to have by his side during a night like that.
But Nina had grimaced and whacked him on the head when he suggested it because:
"You should stand out. I don't want people talking about how we matched, just that you performed and hopefully won a Grammy."
Yes, Harry took it upon himself to remind the woman of how much he loves her.
It wasn't just about the outfits; while Nina was flattered and glad more than anything to sit beside him as they announced his categories, she voiced her reluctance over being his date to the Grammy's.
Yes, she wanted to be there, but no, she didn't want her going to have people write about their relationship at all and not just Harry on that special night, and she definitely wasn't looking forward for "you're using him for clout" tweets and comments.
But all it took was one sentence from Harry:
"I really want you beside me that night" with a sigh that followed and a scratch to his nose.
Whipped would be a fitting statement, but she was in love and she'd go miles to show it.
"Can you stand now?" Nina asked quietly, "Lamby wants those." And she pecked him on the lips.
"All yours."
"What's your return policy?"
"Ha ha."

The camera being a slut for clout, had moved to capture Nina in the midst of Harry's performance.
Her pale yellow mask hid half of her face but her eyes were scrunched in glee as they were fixed on Harry performing, body moving side to side to the rhythm of the song as she held her camera.
It wasn't until Harry finished his performance and got off the stage that Nina hurried to him, finding him already looking for her.
Wrapping her arms around him in a brief tight hug, Nina only pulled away a little before she lowered her mask and planted her lips against his in a quick, but fierce kiss. "Phenomenal!"

"And the Grammy goes to..."
Harry's eyes were fixed on Nina's hand clutching his own on his lap, not sure if the clammy hand was his or hers because both were nervous messes.
"Watermelon Sugar, Harry Styles."
Nina was first to instantly move and look at him with wide eyes, nudging his shoulders with her hand, "You won! Oh my God!"
Harry laughed in shock as he stood up, seemingly in a daze as he embraced his girlfriend right after taking off his mask to make his speech, not thinking for a split second before he pressed a kiss to her forehead as she clapped before he moved to hug Jeff.
She was filled to the brim with pride as Harry got up on stage to receive his first ever Grammy, reaching up to carefully wipe a tear away without smudging her eye makeup.
"Wow," Harry began, "To everyone who made this record with me, thank you so much. This was the first song we wrote after my album came out, during a day off in Nashville. I just wanna say thanks to Tom, Tyler and Mitch and everyone, Rob Stringer, everyone at Columbia, my manager Jeffrey who always nudged me to be better and never pushed me," he smiled, "And I want to thank an incredible woman in my life for helping me with this record and for putting up with my bullshit, kale and all," he joked, knowing fully well that only Nina would get his little joke, "Thank you so much and I feel very grateful to be here. All these songs are fucking massive, so thank you so much, I feel very honoured to be among you so thank you so much."
Getting off the stage and after getting and receiving a congratulatory hug from Billie, Harry was back at his table.
The moment he reached her, Harry was quick to wrap his arms around Nina in a hug, fingers spread on her back as he hugged her tightly against him before rubbing her back, hearing her sniffle.
But then Nina whispered something, just for him to hear and for no camera to catch:
"Mick could never."
