**YOUR POV**
Around dinner time we surprised Harry with a dinner at a fancy restaurant with the boys and all of his closest friends who also didn't see him in such a long time. It was the sweetest thing to see him so incredibly happy after everything he went through. I sat next to him at the restaurant and watched him throughout the evening. Seeing how he enjoyed the time and how smiley he was during dinner meant the world to me.
For dessert after dinner, the staff of the restaurant brought out a tray full of cupcakes with „Happy Birthday" written on them for Harry while we all sang for him, making him blush a little bit before he blew out the candles on top of the cupcakes.
„Happy birthday, Haz." I smiled at him. „I love you."
„Thank you, Y/n. I love you more." He leaned in to kiss me.
Everyone had fun and enjoyed the night with some drinks and dessert, all here to celebrate Harry. I was just having a conversation with Gemma when Harry nudged me in the side to get my attention, so I looked to my side, meeting his beautiful eyes.
„I'll be right back, need some fresh air." He told me. I nodded understandingly and he kissed my lips again before he left the table. I watched him go until I couldn't see him anymore and turned my attention back to Gemma.
After a while, I realized it's been some time since Harry left the table, starting to worry me a little bit. „Hey Gem, I'll check on Harry quickly. He said he'd be outside."
„Yeah sure, go." She nodded quickly before I left as well, taking my jacket and Harry's coat with me since it was cold outside and he probably forgot to take it with him.
I made my way through the restaurant where the entrance was and got outside, seeing Harry leaning against the wall just in front of the front door, his back facing me.
„Hey, are you okay, lovie?" I placed my hand on his shoulder so he'd turn around, wich he did and I gave him his coat, seeing he was clearly freezing out there. „Are you in pain?" I asked him concerned, placing my hand on his lower back now as I stood in front of him and looked up at him.
„No I'm okay, don't worry." He smiled down at me. „Just feeling a little overwhelmed, that's all."
„Overwhelmed with love I hope?" I cupped his cheek with one of my hands, looking into those beautiful green eyes of his.
He nodded. „Missed this a lot."
„So you liked your birthday? I hope?"
„I loved it, it was perfect. Thank you." He pulled me close to his chest, wrapping his arms around my body. „Thank you for making today so special." He kissed my head while I rested mine against his warm chest, breathing in the familiar scent he was wearing and hearing his steady heartbeat, my arms wrapped around his body.
„Anything for you, lovie. I'm glad you enjoyed today. That was my goal." I pulled myself closer to him, if that was even possible. He rubbed my back soothingly, holding me tight and making me feel safe in his embrace.
„You reached your goal, I'm really happy, thank you." He whispered in my ear.
„Good." I smiled against his chest. „You know, I still need to give you the birthday gift I have for you."
„You don't need to give me anything, Y/n."
„But I want to and I'm going to, but it's at home. I wanted to give it to you when we're alone, just by ourselves."
„How do I even deserve you?"
„Oh stop it." I smiled and looked up at him. „I love you, I'm madly in love with you. That's why."
„I love you even more, babe." He pressed a kiss to my lips just when we heard some cameras clicking and flashlights going off.
„Paparazzi." Harry sighed.
„Well that's gonna get one hell of a headline tomorrow." I said, still holding onto Harry.
„Yeah, let's get back inside." He swiftly slipped his hand in mine and let me walk in front of him back inside the restaurant to our table.
"Everything good?" Gemma asked with her thumbs up when we eventually sat back down in our seats.
"Everything good." Harry assured her with a smile while I nodded along.
For the rest of the evening, Harry scooted closer to me and rested his arm over my shoulders, whispering the sweetest, little things into my ear, that couldn't make me stop smiling.

Later when we got home, we waited until Anne, Robin and Gemma were asleep and got ready for bed meanwhile, so when I was sure we were alone, I could give Harry his present and we could have an unbothered moment just for ourselves.
"You're making a whole thing out of this?" Harry sat on the bed, wearing a pair of sweatpants and a black shirt.
"I just want it to be special." I admitted. "The present isn't the most special thing, but I know to you it is." I told him, turning the lights off as Harry turned the bedside lamp on to lighten up the room so that it wasn't too bright and not to dark. "I'm gonna go get it now."
Before he could say anything, I was out of the room and quietly went to get it, since it was something rather big. Harry would clearly be able to see what it was when he would see the cover, so I moved quickly and gave it to him with a big smile on my face.
"Happy birthday, I hope you like it."
He looked at it and then at me. "Y/n. Baby." He tilted his head with a smile before he continued and opened the zipper to reveal the real present, the guitar he was dreaming of for months now, one he always wanted, but never got himself. It was black, but decorated with blue and pink colors and had little stars and moons on it. I let the shop put "Styles" on the headstock of the guitar to make it even more special. "I- I don't know what to say, thank you so much, this is everything. I love it, I really love it." He put the guitar back down and got up to press his lips on mine and hug me tight. "Thank you so much, baby. I love it."
"You're welcome sunshine. I know how bad you wanted it, so it was the perfect present."
"I love you, thank you. Can't wait to start writing songs with it."
"And I can't wait to hear them." I kissed him again. "By the way, I need to confess something." I started off when we let go of each other and I helped him putting away the guitar before we got in bed under the warm sheets.
"Do I need to be scared?" He asked, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear as we looked at each other, laying in bed on our sides.
"No, you don't." I chuckled. "Today when I surprised you with your family, I couldn't help but overhear your little conversation with Gemma."
He immediately knew what I was talking about.
"You are my whole world, Y/n. Life without you is unimaginable. I love you more than I could ever try to express."
I teared up at his sudden, honest words. "You are everything to me, Harry and I mean it. From the moment I saw you again, my heart wanted you back, because it belongs to you." I told him. "You're my person, Haz. I love you so much."
I thought back to the time at that award show, the place I saw him again for the first time unexpectedly, thinking he wouldn't be there until I saw him walking up those stairs and I panicked. We looked at each other, our eyes locked and we froze. Never in a million years did he expect me to be there after such a long time of me being gone. What a memory to look back to, seeing where we were now.
The soft snores leaving Harry's mouth made me come back to reality, realizing he fell asleep.
"I love you so much." I whispered and pressed one last kiss to his forehead before I turned the bedsite lamp off and snuggled into my pillows to fall asleep as well.
