Third Person
Evie, Lonnie, and Mal came from the bathroom from getting ready for bed, as soon as they came into the main area Lonnie had to refrain from squealing, a mere squeak coming from her mouth which made Mal give her a look before looking where she was,
"Don't they just look like angels?"
Lonnie said adoringly looking at Brielle and Harry who were both already asleep in each other's arms. One of Brielle's hands rested gently on his head and the other on his shoulder as he was nestled in her neck. Evie giggled and cooed while Mal just chuckled,
"Harry Hook is not an angel"
She said with a light quiet laugh, Lonnie furrowed her brow and looked at her,
"Well he's an angel to her"
Lonnie shot back, Mal looked back at her with a nod,
"Well yeah, but Harry I feel is more like a demon that found an angel. Then he fell madly in love with said angel and while he is still a demon he doesn't do demon things anymore because of his angel"
Mal quickly explained. Evie cooed and grabbed Mal's shoulders from behind,
"Then Ben's your angel~"
Evie cooed. Mal blushed some and laughed it off whilst shrugging some,
"You could say that, couldn't you? I guess that is the beauty of it, he does bring out the best in me"
Evie giggled and hopped around some as Mal who once rejected Ben was finally coming back around,
"I'm gonna be so pissed if they don't end up together"
Mal and Evie heard Lonnie mutter as she looked back to the sleeping couple,
"Well as you said cotillion is like being engaged to be engaged or whatever it was, so Harry might not know it but he's kinda locked in"
Lonnie put up a finger to make Mal pause,
"Not really, I asked Brielle if she had told him that and she said no because she didn't want him to feel pressured into that decision. She said that she wasn't sure Harry was the type to like the idea of marriage either just because he's such a free spirit"
Evie sighed and looked back to them,
"Look at them though, don't they look just adorable? They both work so well for each other"
Lonnie giggled,
"I know right, Brielle just doesn't want to pressure him that's all"
Mal took a second and came to a realization,
"Hey, maybe that's why Ben didn't tell me that either. He was thinking about my feelings then"
She said with a smile. Evie giggled and slung an arm around Mal's shoulder,
"See? I think he was just having a bad day when he blew up. I know its hard to believe, but Ben and Brielle still have the capability to get stressed out"
Mal giggled and took a sigh of relief, she felt better about getting Ben back now that they had both Harry and Brielle here. She knew she was going to have to make sure Uma didn't attack and attempt to murder Brielle specifically, but Mal knew that together, Brielle and Harry were quite the force to be reckoned with.
Brielle POV
I woke up in an even more comfortable position than the one I had fallen asleep in. Somewhere along the line, Harry must have pulled me on top of him, making me lay on his chest with his head still nestled in my neck. He had both arms tightly but comfortably wound around my waist and back, I could already feel that he was holding onto my legs with his as well. I don't think I've ever felt overall nicer in my life. All together, I felt fluttery, warm, safe, loved to no end.
I'll be honest, even being who I am I never thought I'd get to this point with someone, felt this way about someone, love someone like this. I peered down at Harry's peaceful sleeping form and couldn't help but feel my heart jump at that alone. And he says I naturally smile in my sleep, maybe he doesn't know that he does too. Maybe he's having a good dream right now, nonetheless, I couldn't help but just smile at him.
I think its safe to say, I'm deeply in love with you.
I thought, smiling even more at the thought. I readjusted just a little to brush his hair some again, even in his sleep he leaned into my hand and hummed some. I peered back up at some new sound to see Mal hopping up from bed. She glanced over my way and once she realized I was awake gave me a bit of a smile,
"Can you wake him up? Its time"
She whispered, I lightly nodded as she walked off to the bathroom. Also, I've just noticed that somehow Dude got here and was sleeping at the foot of Carlos's bed. Well, he did flunk obedience class but that's also kind of impressive that he somehow got here. I shifted some more, Harry subconsciously only tightened his grip as maybe he thought I was leaving or something. I of course wasn't, so I lightly laughed at the bit of clinginess,
"Har, its time to open your eyes"
I whispered. He shifted some and groaned,
"Harry, I'm sorry but you gotta wake up now"
I whispered with a light laugh as he only nestled his face away into the crook of my neck again,
"D-Don't leave meh, not again"
I heard him murmur, now that was confusing. I brushed my hand over his arm,
"I won't, never have and wasn't planning on it"
I whispered back, he shook his head ever so slightly,
"If I open my eyes ye'll disappear again, just like last time"
I furrowed my brow and took a second to think, maybe that's why he was smiling in his sleep. Maybe he was having a dream about me and has had them in the past and every time he wakes up he doesn't like that I'm not there when he wakes up. I cooed some, if that's what was it then that's beyond adorable, to be honest,
"Aw Harry, I'm not really going anywhere. I'm right here, I promise you if you open your eyes I'll still be here, in the flesh too"
He didn't budge, all I felt was his grip get tighter. There's a good chance he's still dreaming too, that would probably explain this a lot more. I gently moved myself away from him to readjust to be more face to face with him when he got a little panicked,
"N-No, come back"
He muttered, his sleepy voice sounding shakier once I moved away. I slid down some so I could be face to face with him,
"Har, I can't come back if I never left. I'm not going to leave ever alright? Open those eyes for me, I'll be here forever and always"
I gently whispered, cupping his cheek and brushing his cheek with my thumb. Finally, he barely opened his eyes before fully opening them, looking a little surprised,
"Oh... yer really 'ere. I thought... I thought I was dreaming again"
I giggled and smiled some at his surprise as he became more conscious,
"Of course I'm still here, where else would I go? There's nowhere I'd rather be"
Harry smiled and moved one hand to the back of my head and guided my head to lay down on his shoulder,
"Every time I've ever had a dream about ye I dread waking up because ye aren't there, but for once yer actually 'ere"
He whispered, rocking back and forth some as he re-wrapped his arms around me. I giggled and leaned into him,
"I'm sorry I had to wake you, but its time to get dressed so we can go save my idiot brother, you looked so happy and peaceful in your sleep"
I felt Harry take a deep sigh of relief, taking a second to just wake up,
"When we get back ta Auradon could we maybe do this again? Ye know... sleep together? I haven't gotten that good of a nights sleep in years"
I hummed and brought one hand up to trace his collarbone some,
"I'd like that, a lot actually. Now as much as I don't wanna get up we do have to go save my brother, but we can definitely have some sleepovers in the future"
A bright smile grew on his lips, humming some more before sitting up and bringing me with him,
"Let's go ahead and get dressed before everyone else wakes up, Mal's already up just so you know"
Harry tiredly nodded and took a second just to stare at me as now that he had sat up I was sitting in his lap,
"Can I do yer eyeliner for today?"
He said after a few moments of silence, making me laugh quite a bit,
"Only if I can do yours"
