The Acts of Lord Arlo Redwyne. the late Lord of the Arbor, during the Dance of Dragons.

The Beginning:

+. Arlo arrives to King's Landing during the coronation of Aegon II Targaryen where he bends the knee. + During the battle between the Blackwoods and the Brackens, Redywyne men arrive to assist in the respone to raiding on Brack Lands. While Ser Amos Bracken led a strong force to Burning Mill where he was slain. Raylon Rivers led Green Survivors back to Bracken Territory. +. In the capturing of Stone Hedge, Lord Humfrey, and Raylon yeilding to King Consort Daemon Targaryen, a good number of Redwyne men manage to escape. This loss seems to cause something within Arlo to stir.

The Sack of Duskendale:

+ Arlo allows 1000 men to join the Green King and his new hand Criston Cole in the Sacking of Duskendale. +. Arlo leads his own men into this battle, because of his added strength to Aegon's 3,000 men then enter Duskendale 4,000 strong. +. Taken by surprise and unprepared Duskendale fell +. Arlo has the ships at the harbour set afire, beheaded Gunthor Darklyn, and made most of his household knights submit to Aegon II. +. Aegon has taken note of Arlo and makes him Master of Ships to compete with the Blacks strength at sea.

The Battle of Rook's Rest:

+. Criston Cole moved forces and seiged Rook's Rest. Ordering the burning of fields, killing of smallfolk, and livestock. +. Aegon becomes seriously injured, Arlo provides 200 men after 800 are burned. Aemond becomes regent and Lord Walys Mooton is killed attempting to kill Sunfyre. +. The Battle Between Friends: Arlo Redwyne and Mehmet Rowan parlay. "Should I die, I'd rather it be a brother than an Andal. You'll take care of my family, yes?" "And you'll take care of mine." Arlo and Mehmet meet in single combat where Arlo deals a fatal blow with Mehmet dying in his arm. Because of the rules of war, these forces go their separate ways knowing that in the future they will meet again.

The Battle of the Gullet (The Bloodiest Sea Battle of the Dance)

+. Arlo and Lysene Admiral of the Triarchy Sharako Lohar take to the seas where Otto's dealings pay off. +. Arlo captures legitimized bastard Targaryen Prince Valarr Waters and takes his ships along with a dragon's egg. +. Scorpions are used and one of the Dragonseeds dragon dies. +. Fire Ships are used to attack Spicetown and the town is sacked, the inhabitants butchered.

Over the next 4 years, Arlo serves as Master of Ships leading them to decisive sea victories. When Tyland Lannister returns to the Westerlands after the Sacking, Arlo Redwyne is made Hand of the King by Aemond Targaryen who is still serving as Regent. As Hand of the King, Arlo manages to bring in more houses of the Old Way to their cause because trust and community, still there were many who refused.

While many of the Houses of the Old Way understood the Rhoynish rules of single combat, there were still some who held grudges against the Lord who killed Mehmet Rowan for a Valyrian. While Aegon's health rises and falls, Aemond is being shaped and guided by Arlo who has began working with those around him on making it so Aemond is King should Aegon die. Arlo is the one who starts the work on arranging Jaehaerys' place in the Starry Sept.

Death of the The Hand:

+. In year 9 of the war, there is another great sea battle, Arlo taking the helm of his ship he went on to face the Blackbars and others who were stopping trade and attacking merchants. +. Arlo rams Tirius' ship, unknowiningly, and the young Lord jumps on the deck. They come face to face. Tirius is young, full of rage, and fury. And the moment he sees Arlo tears stream down his face.

"You killed my father." "And he would have slain me." "One of us will die this day, my lord." "Then let my life end in the hands of a brothers son." After fighting that seems to last forever Tirius deals the killing blow, regreting his actions as Arlo falls. "Wait, wait."

+. Going through great lengths, his body is saved and Tirius travels to the Arbor to return his bones to Lucrezia Aicha, the new Lady of the Arbor, along with his sword and armor.

#is there anything i can do for you dear ; you were my hometown glory (arlo&lucrezia redwyne)#plot development.#lore.#he helped people see the gods in the ordinary things of life and he made children laugh - the lord of the arbor.

Arlo is tall. His head's big on his human shoulders - and the horns that crest over his head and curl down to his neck like crescent moons must be cumbersome - but he's also just a normal sort of tall, his shoulders up to Naomi's ears as she follows him. He wears long, flowing robes in rich purples and blues, jewel tones that catch bits of fading sunlight with each step.

In his left hand is a shepherd's crook, in similar colors to him and covered in a royal purple ribbon. It jingles with loose gold bells - and actually, the ribbons on his horns and the gold band through the tip of one ear also sport small, chiming instruments. He moves the crook around through the grass, seemingly unconcerned with the sheep still playing with Rags.

Naomi, however, is a bit overwhelmed with his whole look. Rags and Willa are simple - Arlo is ornate, like a work of art, and she keeps finding new details to take in, like the gold cord with a small fabric pouch at his waist, or the embroidery on his outermost robe of gold-lined clouds and stars.

"So what sort of sheep do you take care of?" She has to say something, these silences are getting longer and more suspect the more she falls into them. Arlo continues looking down and ahead, nudging grass aside with the head of his staff.

"The counting sort," he says, "suited for long and restless nights. When their wool is full and ready for shearing, I clip it and spin yarns."

"Ah," she says, only somewhat understanding - not because she doesn't know the words, but from wondering if she should take the counting sort literally. Does he actually herd the sheep people count before bed? "And how's they get out here?"

"Why, they jumped over the fence." Okay, she does feel silly about that one. Arlo pushes another batch of tall grass aside. "Normally they stay well within their fields, but the fireflies seem to have enticed them. They came all the way from Slumber Hill, up there."

Naomi follows his hand as he gestures, and sees the hill in question. Far back, past a gap in the multi-colored trees, stands a hill of sea-green grass, surrounded by a thin line of fence. She stares.

Since my Tav had the criminal background, his arc peaked with the House of Hope heist. Also, he was dating Astarion so--

seraphina gets an unnecessary amount of critiscm; mostly on the basis of her character development and writing, and most of it is unfounded and blatantly untrue.

youre all just looking for a reason to shit on her.

she is developed-- in fact, she's changed a lot since we first saw her and even before that.

she's in no way the same as she was when she went out to boba with john or before that when she beat him up for outsmarting her. she's grown. she's had a tremendous amount of development, mostly in a positive direction.

since she rebelled against her parents, she went to the exact opposite extreme, and from then on she had to learn to find a healthy balance. even from when she first started doing what she wanted to do, she still had the mindset of a high tier. she still thought of the stronger person always being in the right.

she's changed from then. she doesn't think like that anymore.

and yes, she has been vulnerable before. she was vulnerable after she lost her ability, and when the school turned against her, and when illena and co kidnapped her.

her "lack of empathy" isn't exactly a bad thing, either. yes, she seems to struggle with putting herself in others' shoes, but she's still kind and compassionate nonetheless. she was just as equally affected by the joker situation as everything else.

and her motivations continually surrounding john? that's her one: dependant relationship with him, two: her sense of responsibility/guilt to the joker arc, and three: a subconcious behavioral pattern mirroring her devotion to her parents.

their relationship is nice but it's not the healthiest. this is repeatedly shown but not explictly stated because it's also something both john and sera aren't aware of yet. we as the audience are supposed to pick up on it since they're unreliable narrators.

she does have flaws; in her habit of taking on everything for herself, in her pushing people away, in her arrogance.

seraphina's frankly a wonderfully written character and if you've got a bone to pick with her writing, then go find a different webtoon or reread the episodes.

#ywoeoeoeow tried to make this coherent👍👍#tbh you could literally argue the same crit against sera against blyke or arlo or remi #also a character doesnt need to have a breakdown/be sad to develop guys oh my #discourse #unordinary #unordinary webtoon #unordinary seraphina #unordinary sera #seraphina unordinary #analysis #fandom neg #tw kidnapping mention #spex.sells #best of spec

developments in the pikmin fandom in the coming years

2024: pikmin 4 sales steadily go up as well as the number of pikmin fans. nintendo releases a pikmin 4 DLC pack "Olimar's Big Suck" that contains 6 new dandori missions and 4 new dandori battle maps.

2025: fandom continues to grow. big-name pikmin fans start to emerge, with half of them being artists and half seeming to have no career other than making "what pikmin opinions got you like this?" tweets that get them a thousand quotes and ten thousand new followers.

2026: the biggest drama starts to emerge. artists make callouts for each other, which in turn get callouts for the callouts. projects are started and cancelled. the most notorious incident of all is an olimar x louie NTR-themed zine that raises $50,000 that has most of its funding stolen and used on frivolous things. nintendo releases "Pikmin Shorts 2."

2027: the fandom wars of the past year do damage that is never fully recovered. large-scale creators quit the fandom and are replaced by other creators who are effectively identical. the pikmin fandom wiki disbands. "Pikmin Bloom" adds ice pikmin.

2028: concern is brought up that youtubers "like arlo gaslit people into liking pikmin." arlo responds to this controversy by making a video that somehow digs his hole deeper. the normal pikmin wiki disbands. olimar's wife is publicly executed on stream.

2029: fans continue to be concerned about whether they actually liked pikmin in the first place. many leave, those who claim to be "real ones" stay. much of the blame is pinned on pikmin 4 and oatchi, and arguments break out yet again. "Hey! Pikmin" is ported to nintendo's next console, with all of its features miraculously intact. the president is publicly executed on stream.

2030-2033: radio silence.

2034: pikmin 5 released.

the tragic thing about john doe is that he was doomed from the start.

he was likely born in a low- or mid-tier district: new bostin high's old king, zirian, was the only one john had trouble beating, before he figured out how to amplify abilities, and at the time he beat zirian, zirian was a 3.7. zirian, pre-john, was considered incredibly powerful, nigh unbeatable. in new bostin, someone who was barely an elite was considered incredibly powerful.

god-tiers are already incredibly rare. they're even more rare than high-tiers, and whenever remi, blyke, and isen visit a low-tier district as vigilantes, everyone regards them almost as royalty - unbelievably powerful, unreachable, divinity on earth. they are with dozens, and they’re terrified of a single, non-hostile girl. also, some of the background characters say: “what’s a high-tier doing in branish?” “yeah, they would never come to a place like this.” most low-tiers likely have never even seen a high-tier in the flesh, let alone a god-tier.

add to that that wellston is supposed to be the most powerful school in the province, at least, and before john, there were only two god-tiers in attendance: an 8.0 and a 6.3. and before arlo became king, rei was, and rei was a 5.8. the king of the strongest school in the province was a 5.8.

jane doe was raised in a god-tier family. she knows, presumably, what it means to be a god-tier, when everyone around you is weaker than you, and not by a little bit. but jane has been gone since john was a toddler - and the only person left to raise him was his father. his cripple father, who has lived his whole life being spat on, disregarded, considered less than.

and then you have john. john first discovered his ability in his last year of middle school. unordinary doesn't give us an exact timeframe, but it is mentioned that he first uses his ability towards the end of the school year. if we assume that the education system in unordinary is comparable to the us education system, then that makes john about fourteen years old. it is never mentioned when most kids discover their abilities, but sera mentioned that she got martial arts lessons for a few years when she was a young child, but stopped when her ability came in. assuming sera's development is normal and abilities usually come in at the same age regardless of level, that would place the average age well before ten. another thing: everyone around john seemed to assume he would never get an ability. they considered him a cripple. which either means that late-bloomers are so incredibly rare that it isn't even considered a possibility, or john was so far past the age of ability manifestation that no one thought it was possible.

of course, his dad was also a cripple, and since genetics are a thing in uno, it would make sense for people to assume john would be a cripple even before he passed the manifestation age. (and treat him accordingly)

john got expelled in his second year in high school. when, exactly, doesn't really matter. once again assuming that the uno education system works like the us education system, that would place john at 15-16 years old.

so you have this kid, sixteen years old, who's had his ability for about two years. he spent most of his life being considered the lowest of the low - spat on, disregarded, less than. his dad, his only parental figure, has had those exact same experiences, and the only thing he can tell his child is that that is just the way the world works. it's unfair, but that's life.

but then he gets an ability. and within two years, he is almost twice as strong as the second strongest kid around. none of the adults have ever met someone as strong as him. him, the former cripple, with the cripple father. former lowest of the low, now a god amongst men. the kids, though, his classmates, his peers, they don't really understand his power. how much stronger he is than them. to tell the truth, he doesn't either, not fully. he's never met someone as strong as he is, at sixteen. but his classmates, they just remember when they used to walk all over him. when they would beat him bloody and then complain about getting his disgusting cripple blood on their shoes. and now he dares to stand above them?

they don't like him. of course they don't. cripples aren't able to become gods. they can't comprehend that john did.

and john, obviously, lashes out at his former bullies. he finally has a chance to pay them back, for all the cuts, bruises, broken bones he'd received from them over the years. he's stronger than them, and it's his turn to make them hurt. he goes farther than they did - their abilities are useless against the might of his power - but he doesn't really care. (they never held back, so he doesn't either, and the damage he does is much, much worse. the adults are mad, and he doesn't get why. he's only doing what everyone else does.)

the adults have no idea how to handle him. he's out of control. but they've never seen an ability this powerful before, except on tv, or in stories. high-rankers are supposed to keep order. (but no one listens to john. why would they? he's just a cripple, the lowest of the low, who managed to cheat the system.) his dad, kind-hearted william doe the cripple, has no idea how to help him. he can't relate to his problems at all. (is there even a problem? who wouldn't want to be powerful? for william, for adrian, for claire, it'd be a dream come true. it used to be, for john.) there is no one around who even vaguely knows what it's like to be a god-tier, or even a high-tier, or even just a high-ranker in general, except for zirian, who's barely a high-ranker at all, and who hates john for dethroning him. there is no one who understands him.

so then you have john. sixteen years old. god-tier. angry at the world, and the world is angry at him. how was he ever supposed to win?

#thanks for reading my incredibly long rant #i just. have so much to say abt john's character #unordinary #uno #john doe #unordinary webtoon

Could you expand on Ideology re: Narrative in your Grand Theory?

Is it the thing that the player bases the character’s actions and arcs on, like the thing they focus their attention on when making choices?

Not sure if this counts as a good question, feel free to ignore if not.

Yeah, it's sort of a combination of how they make decisions and what they appear to be most comfortable with/what their strengths are. It's not prescriptive by any means. I should also note: this is specifically in the main campaigns in longform. I think Sam and Laura, for example, are way more comfortable taking a big risk in one-shots or miniseries (Arlo in Candela Obscura is perhaps the most clear example here), and I think Liam, Marisha, and Travis tend to play support/background in those.

To some extent, it's really hard to have character development while actually in the spotlight - that always necessarily has to come later - but Laura and Sam are really comfortable and skilled with their characters always working in their story as a consistent background theme, with scattered episodes of focus. I also think they're least comfortable being in a Big Spotlighted Arc; they both absolutely can do it but it's not what they tend to aim for. They do make big decisions sometimes, but they're often not decisions that put them front and center, and I say this with no judgment (and indeed, with a lot of respect) for those who do place their characters more front and center. I also find them both relatively risk-averse.

Travis and Taliesin tend to have very little aversion to risk. They make characters with pretty clear narrative hooks and are willing to leave quite a lot up to the DM, and will push big red buttons and deal with negative consequences. This is good, and frankly, while I think obsessing on your fave having A Briarwoods Arc (TM) is pointless (different characters need different things; Vex's story simply does not need that kind of central, concrete focus) it's also true that the reason Travis and Taliesin tend to get those is because they make characters for whom this is a natural thing to have, and because they are willing to put their characters on the line. I think Ashley is building up to this; she necessarily couldn't do so as easily when she was frequently away from the table, so Pike and Yasha have a lot of work in the background, but with Fearne she's been taking some pretty big swings. It's a style that requires a lot of confidence in your backstory and a lot of trust in the GM and a strong ability to pivot.

Liam and Marisha tend to have milestones. Marisha skews the furthest towards this; Liam can be a Big Red Button guy and he absolutely has the GM trust/willingness to lose that requires, but he's a little too controlled in his character's goals; I'd say that like, the spectrum here is Sam and Laura as the most background development, Ashley falling between background and big red button, Travis and Taliesin clearly in big red button, Liam between big red button and milestone, and Marisha solidly in milestone. The best way I can describe it is usually their characters have clear tasks to achieve, and they don't really change until the end. Keyleth is the clearest version of this, with the Aramente steps, but Beau's intermittent meetings with the Cobalt Soul also count. The other way I described it is that Big Red Button has the risk first and then the character development as they deal with consequences; Milestone has a big moment as a capstone to the development that's been happening. This style requires a pretty thorough character backstory because it needs to be proactive - it works best for a very driven character, and also requires someone who's willing to talk to the GM out of game to make sure they're broadly aligned (again, nonjudgmental; I think that communication like this is a good thing).

ooo i love yan dad welt!! do you think you could write yan dad jing yuan? maybe over the reader and yanqing?

I am going to do my best.

Yandere Jing Yuan is a mix between manipulative and protective.

How he sees reader as his child. He first saw you. That's it you are his child know. If you that meme from Brooklyn Nine Nine, I've only had Arlo for a day and a half but if anything happened to him, I would kill everyone in this room then myself or that lady with a dog meme. Imagine that with Jing yuan as the lady with reader as Arlo the dog.

He would give the offer that you would be his disciple. He would be elated if you say yes. He would be the type to isolate you slowly but surely and the only other person who you can talk to is yan Qing.

Maybe Yan Qing starts to develop yandere tendencies like Jing yuan.

He would resort to kidnapping if you have a shorter life span compared to his. He wants to spend every waking moment to be with you. He doesn't want to abandon you like he did with mimi.

For Arlo please!

5. What calms your OC down the best under severe stress?

11. What makes your OC feel most guilt in their life?

18. What aspect of your OC’s personality or essence do other people usually have a problem with?

25: How does your OC see their own value in comparison to other people?

For Arlo it is.

5. What calms your OC down the best under severe stress?

Touch, namely Fannar's touch. So far its the only thing that can ground him long enough for any attempt and calming him down to be made. Otherwise he 'checks-out' for a while.

11. What makes your OC feel most guilt in their life?

All the pain and torture he subjected Fannar too. Seeing Fannar's scars, being away that if he touched Fannar in certain ways or if anyone makes the mistake of yelling Fannar will be triggered. These types of things, knowing he helped in causing this trauma causes him intense feelings of guilt.

18. What aspect of your OC’s personality or essence do other people usually have a problem with?

Still blunt to the point of rudeness. Still reactive instead of rational. He will act without thinking on impulse. Still self-loathing and self-destructive. This last part really bothers Fannar deeply.

25: How does your OC see their own value in comparison to other people?

Bellow everyone else. It's still a work in progress, Fannar's trying to make him learn to hold himself into a higher esteem but it's hard. Arlo considers everyone and everything to be more important and more valuable than himself. But he's starting to learn that his work isn't more important than his own well being and other little things.

MS.HONEY: MS.HONEY'S BIRTHDAY

Pairing: Harry Styles x F!Reader Word Count: 2.3k+ Warnings: tooth rotting fluff!, kissing, relationship developments Summary: It takes a village to raise a special needs child. Gemma's son is growing up and starting kindergarten in the fall. Uncle Harry is struggling with not being able to spend all day, everyday, with his nephew who he's grown quite attached to. When he accompanies Gemma and Arlo on his first day of school, he meets Ms.Honey. Harry decides Kindergarten might not be so bad after all. A/N: For the sake of the story, Gemma and Harry live in the states. I know more about the school system in America than the UK so it just made sense! This story is not meant to be a 100% depiction of what a family of this dynamic is like. Harry and Gemma Styles are very real people and are only being used for fictional purposes!

*please like and reblog to help your local fic writers*

The weather was truly in your favor today. A soft breeze, bright blue sky, the birds were happily chirping and flying back and forth between the trees and your bird feeders. It was what you would describe as your idea of a perfect day. Laid out in your hammock, you had your eyes closed as you listened to the songs the birds would sing for you, and enjoyed the cool breeze against your face. The sun was starting to set and the air had that summer-like chill to it when you decided to head inside.

Grabbing a microwavable dinner from your freezer, you popped it into the microwave to cook. While the microwave worked its magic, you grabbed your phone to see what calls or texts you’ve missed while outside today. You weren’t shocked to see a missed call from Harry along with several texts.

Harry: When were you going to tell me your birthday was next week?

Harry: If you think we aren’t doing anything to celebrate you’re crazy!

Harry: Woman, call me back so I can make birthday plans for you!!!!

You could imagine how flustered he must have been right now waiting for you to reply to him. The teasing part of you wanted to make him wait a little longer but the soft side of you that Harry occupied had you calling him back without a second thought. As if he was looking at his phone, just waiting for it to ring, he answered on the second ring.

“About damn time!” He greeted you.

It made you laugh, shaking your head fondly, “Sorry, I was laying in my hammock all afternoon and I didn’t have my phone with me.”

Harry took a moment to envision you laid out and enjoying the beautiful weather today. He wished more than anything he was there to enjoy it with you. “Fine, you’re forgiven. But next time I won’t be so nice!” he threatened.

You knew he wasn’t being serious though. You could tell by the goofy voice he put on when he said it. “So who snitched about my birthday?” you asked, curious.

“We, technically the school, but Gemma called me and told me. So let’s blame Gemma.”

“That darn Gemma.” you decided to play along.

“Right? An absolute menace to our society. She must be stopped!”

“Well you’re her brother…so wouldn't that make you just as much of a menace?”

“Do you think I’m a menace?”

“Yes.”

“WELL I NEVER.” He exclaimed, making you laugh once more. He always knew how to tickle your funny bone.

“I’m only half joking.” you promised, grabbing your food out of the microwave and stirring it up.

“Well Ms.Jokester, what do you want to do for your birthday?” He asked, making himself comfortable on his own couch while he talked to you.

“Well considering I’ll be working, nothing really.” sitting down at your dining room table, and putting him on speaker phone so she could sit comfortably and eat.

“You’re working on your birthday? That’s lame! What about next weekend then? We could do something.”

It was endearing how much he wanted to spend your birthday together, but you couldn’t ignore the knot of guilt in your stomach thinking about it. “Harry, I’m not sure if that’s a good idea.”

“I know you want to wait till after Arlo’s graduation to date and I respect that. We can hang out as friends though, right? Is that allowed?”

Thinking over his words, you felt the knot loosen in your stomach. “I guess you’re right.” you said, pushing your food around the plastic container. “I just don’t want either of us to get in trouble.”

“I know Honey. I’m sorry that it has to be like this right now. I still want to show you how special you are and celebrate your birthday. Even if that means we have to sit on opposite sides of the room to do it.”

Smiling at your food, you couldn’t help but blush, “well that’s really sweet of you.” taking a deep breath, you breathed out, “Fine, I’ll bite and let you celebrate my birthday with me.”

“A splendid choice!” Harry exclaimed. “What would the birthday girl like to do?”

You pondered the idea for a moment. What you really wanted to do might be too boring for his taste. You couldn’t think of anything else though. “Honestly, I want to stay in. How about we get sushi, stay at mine and spend the evening watching a movie?”

Harry hummed, “If that’s what the birthday girl wants, it’s what the birthday girl gets.”

“Really? You don’t think that’s too boring?” you asked, feeling uncertain.

“Honey…” Harry softly said, “Listen, if it’s with you then I’m going to have a great time. If that’s what you want to do then I’ll do it. And if you must know, that’s my ideal type of evening. So, I’d be more than thrilled to do it with you. I promise.”

You smiled at the phone, “Thanks Harryy. You’re the best.”

“You only deserve the best. I’ll talk to you tomorrow, okay? Enjoy the rest of your relaxing evening.”

“You too.”

- - - - - - - - -

The day of your birthday was a total blurr. Even though you were working, the day flew by with flying colors. Your students brought in small hand made gifts for you that just melted your heart. You promised all of them that their work would be proudly displayed at your home to always remember them by.

While the kids were at lunch, you had a special delivery again from Nancy. She came to your classroom with an arm full of flowers and a box of chocolate covered strawberries. “Mr.Honey has done it again.” Nancy said in a teasing tone.

You giggled, taking the gifts from her, “He’s too good to me.” you told her.

“You’re dating right?” Nancy asked.

Setting the case down on your desk along with the box of strawberries, you sighed softly, admiring the flowers. “No, I told him we couldn’t date till Arlo graduated.”

“What?! Why?!” Nancy exclaimed, looking at you with a dumbfounded expression.

You returned the look with a confused one, “I’m not allowed to date the family of the students in my class.”

Nancy brought her palm to her face and shook her head, “Oh, Honey that’s only for parents. You won’t get in trouble if you date him.” laughing at the shocked look on your face.

“Well then, he’ll be very happy to know that.” you said, giving a shocked giggled back to her.

“Happy birthday to you.” she teasingly sang to you with a wink, walking out of the room.

You couldn’t wait to surprise Harry on Saturday with this new found information.

- - - - - - - - -

When Saturday arrived, you were up early and stress cleaning, even the parts of your home that you knew Harry wouldn’t see or care about. It had to be perfect. Nothing could go wrong. By the time midafternoon rolled around, you were collapsed on the couch, sweaty from all the cleaning you’d done. Your phone vibrated on the coffee table next to you, making you groan as you reached for it and swiped to answer the call. “Hello?” you breathed out.

Harry chuckled through the phone, “You sound like you ran a marathon.”

“I basically did. I’ve been cleaning all day.”

“Perfect, I’m gonna mess it all up now.” he teased.

“I’ll have to hurt you.” you laughed softly.

“Don’t threaten me with a good time babe.” making your heart skip a beat. “I’m getting the sushi now and going to grab a few more snacks from the store. I should be heading your way soon.”

“Good, I’m starving.” you groaned. “I’ll see you in a little bit. Drive safe.”

“Will do Honey.”

After you hung up, you had to force yourself to get off the couch and go shower. As much as you hated it at first, the hot water was welcoming to your aching back. You were super glad at this point that you decided to spend the night in. When you got out of the shower, the cool air made you feel more awake and refreshed.

Picking out your cutest pair of pajamas, you figured you might as well stay comfy if you were gonna spend the evening watching movies. Throwing your hair into a messy bun, you gathered all the fluffy pillows off your bed and brought them to the living room.

You arranged them on the floor so the two of you could comfortably sit together. Moving the coffee table to the side, you even grabbed a few fluffy blankets to lay out and use if you wanted to.

“Ooo wine!” you hummed to yourself as the idea popped in your head. Going to the fridge to get the bottle out, you were interrupted by a knock on your door. Setting the bottle on the counter, you jogged over to the door and opened it to see Harry’s bright smile and sparkling eyes. “Happy birthday!” he cheered, walking in as you made room for him through the doorway.

A soft giggle could be heard from you as you watched him trapease his way to the living room, dumping the bags on the makeshift blanket pallet you made just moments ago. Turning to see you’d followed him, he wrapped you in a hug, picking you up and spinning you around. You couldn’t help but squeal with laughter, tucking your face into his neck as you held onto him tightly.

Gently setting you down, he leaned his forehead to your own, looking into your eyes. “I’ve missed you.” he whispered.

“I’ve missed you too.” you told him, playing with his curls gently at the nape of his neck, pressing a soft kiss to his lips, which he eagerly returned.

“How about we eat and start a movie? I’m starving.” rubbing his hands along your sides gently, rubbing just low enough to drive you crazy.

You nodded, “I like that idea.” you breathlessly said, “Let me go grab the wine from the kitchen.”

Letting you go reluctantly, you were quick to retrieve the bottle along with two wine glasses. “I hope you like red.”

“I love it.” he assured, setting out your sushi in front of you while you poured both of you a glass.

“What movie did you pick to watch first?” he asked, accepting the glass when you handed it to him.

“Rose Red.” you proudly said, taking a sip of your wine.

Harry hummed in approval, “Stephen King. Excellent choice.”

It was indeed an excellent choice. By half way through the movie, Harry and you were cuddled together, bellies full of good food and beginning to feel a little tipsy from the wine.

You quickly discovered with Harry that he loved to talk during films. Which was perfect since you enjoyed it as well. While he would critique the film’s small details, you would make off handed comments about the characters and how stupid some of them were. Harry was amused when you would go on a random tirade about a stupid decision one of the character’s made. “For somebody who likes this movie you sure are yelling at it a lot.” Harry noted, giggling.

“I do like it! It’s just fun to yell at it too.”

“It’s cute.” Harry mumbled, pulling you closer into him.

Looking up at him, and him looking down at you, made you not want to wait any longer. “Harry…I have something to tell you.”

“What is it?” he asked, feeling a little nervous.

“Nancy brought me the flowers and strawberries as you know. Well she asked if we were dating. I said no and she asked me why like I was crazy.” You giggled, thinking back to her facial expression. “I told her I wasn’t allowed to date my students' family and she told me that was only for parents. I wouldn’t get in trouble if I dated you.”

A giant smile creeped onto Harry’s face as he processed what you just told him. “Seriously?” he asked.

“Seriously.” you repeated, rubbing your nose against his own.

Pressing his lips against your own, the kiss quickly turned heated. He laid you back gently onto the pillows, positioning his body to hover above your own. This kiss showed you both the feelings you were holding back. Desperate to express through a simple gesture. “Be my girlfriend.” Harry mumbled against your lips.

“What?” you couldn’t help but giggle and smile, making him smile too.

“Be my girlfriend,” he repeated “Please.”

Looking up into his eyes, you could see the immense amount of adoration they held for you. “Yes.” you whispered. It felt right. It had to be right. They always say when you know, you know. And you were so sure in this moment that you knew. Harry couldn’t help but feel the same way.

With goofy smiles on your faces, the both of you started to giggle, feeling giddy and high from life and the happiness you brought each other. “This is the best birthday I’ve ever had.”

“And we haven’t even had dessert yet.” Harry said, suddenly sitting up and reaching for a bag.

Propping yourself up on your elbows, you watched as he pulled out a tray of cupcakes, holding one up and putting a candle in it, lighting it with his lighter. He turned to you and began to sing Happy Birthday. You watched with a smile on your face, sitting up fully to be closer to him. Once he finished, he held the cupcake closer to you.

Closing your eyes, you made a wish then blew out the candle. “Thank you Harry. For everything.” you said, taking the cupcake. Pulling the candle out and sucking the icing off of it, you hummed happily.

He chuckled, grabbing his own cupcake to eat. “I’d do anything to see that sweet smile.”

If only he knew your wish was for him to make you smile for the rest of your life.
