Hero

A/N: that picture gave me so much life I cannot tell you

As Harry had informed, I did find Perrie in the lounge watching some sort of animation movie whilst she proceeded to stuff popcorn into her mouth, I rolled my eyes slightly at her careless attitude compared to Harry's strict and uptight attitude he had taken on since breakfast. With a loud sigh I plopped beside her and curled my legs up beside me as I reached in and took a handful of the buttery kernels.

"Did you get kicked out?" She asked, taking her clear blue eyes off the movie she was watching which was currently showing a girl with bright orange hair chasing a bear. I nodded my head with a pout.

"Same." She responded before she shovelled more popcorn into her mouth. A surprised giggle left my lips as my mind wandered to what she did to have her kicked out of whatever she was up to previous to the movie.

"By who? And what did you do?" I asked in amusement as I chewed on the popcorn. She rolled her eyes muting the movie before she turned around to give me her full attention.

She scoffed indignantly.
"Well, Lance was being a dick so I went to slap him and he moved out of the way and I accidentally slapped Zayn." She huffed shaking her head. "It's a travesty of justice!" She exclaimed.

I couldn't help but laugh at her story, picturing Zayn's furious face when being accidentally slapped by his Fiancé, imagining myself slapping Harry I shuddered, his reaction would be intense.

"Don't laugh. Well, what did you do then?" She huffed glaring at me as I giggled at her death stare.

"I smashed a glass," I shrugged heavily as I took some more popcorn, she also copied my actions and took some popcorn as if she'd forgotten she had them. She let out a bout of laughter making me roll my eyes at her hypocrisy as she had literally just told me off for laughing at her, and now she was literally doing the exact same thing. Not that I minded really, I guess my clumsiness was rather amusing.

"Was Harry pissed?"

"Mhm." She snorted.

"What's new? He's always pissed," She said with a casual chuckle making me stop eating as I frowned at her casual words. Harry wasn't always pissed, he was actually rather normal at home, grumpy occasionally but she's acting like he's a walking time bomb and the last few months that I've spent with him he's been fairly careful not to raise his voice and has been pretty gentle towards me. So her words confuse me.

"What do you mean? I don't think he is," I commented frowning at her in confusion and misunderstanding. She snapped her head to look at me with raised brows.

"Well, Amelia. That's because you've only ever seen him in your apartment environment and very briefly here. There's very few people in the world that Harry tolerates, you know." She said with a pointed nod before she shoved another handful of popcorn into her mouth. She chewed loudly before wiping away the grease on her tight jeans making me cringe. I wasn't overly clean, but greasy jeans; no thanks.
"When I first met him, he was a right mess. So much repressed anger he didn't know what to do with himself, smashing things, punching walls," She shook her head, clear blue eyes blown wide, "It was terrible."

My lips fell apart to create a gap between them fuelled by the sudden casual on-load of information regarding Harry's past. It was something that over time had gradually drawn my attention and curiosity to, I wasn't entirely sure why I wanted to know his backstory but I guess your past is what makes the present and it would be nice to really know my soulmate and where he came from.

"Well, what happened?" I asked, the conversation holding my attention ransom all of a sudden as I crave for more information that Harry had deprived me of.

"Zayn took him to a mate who helped him to release the anger through safer ways. Kinda like therapy, you know? He has to do it everyday otherwise his anger can get the best of him."  She answered casually, clearly not seeing how much this information was leaving me breathless with shock.
Anger therapy? Everyday?

"What does he do?" I asked gulping.

"Gym, exercising, the good shit."

"I'm so damn hungry where the fuck are they with my food." Perrie demanded angrily as she glared at the nail polish she was using to paint her nails with, I mean you'd think after the popcorn she wouldn't be hungry but oh no. She is.

She had made that Lance guy and Zayn go out to the closest McDonald's to satisfy her random craving of a cheeseburger, so that was going to be our late lunch. I had sneakily paid for my own and Harry's as well which made me feel pretty victorious because I felt bad for Harry always paying for things so I took full advantage of his absence.

"They've literally just gone, Perrie. Chill." I said with a roll of my eyes as I focused on the movie we were watching now. After finishing that movie which I learned was called Brave, she had insisted we have a sort of animation marathon, so we watched a movie called Home, Inside Out, we watched Ice Age which was probably my favourite because let's be honest; Sid, we watched Despicable Me, and now we literally just finished watching Epic, which was also pretty good. They were all pretty good and did well to hold my attention and keep me busy while everyone else went about their jobs.

"Here, let me paint yours," She offered after having fanned her hands around to dry her black nails, they looked good against her fair complexion. They made her look quite badass. I bit the inside of my cheek as I scanned the colour options since black nails were not really my thing, but I spotted a colour that I liked, it was like a baby periwinkle colour which was really pretty and cute.

"Okay, but I want that colour," I said with a bright smile as I plucked it up off the coffee table and wiggled it around. "Please." I added.
She rolled her eyes playfully as she mock saluted me.
"Sir, yes, Sir."

Taking my hands in hers she began to wipe away the previous chips of the baby pink polish with a remover wipe until my nails were back to their original look, however they didn't stay that way for long before she swiped the pretty colour across my nails again in two coats before a protective overcoat on top. She finished with a proud smile.

"Adorable."

"Thanks Perrie," I said happily as I fanned them around to carefully dry the neatly applied polish. I don't know, nail polish made me happy, it was something about seeing an array of colours at your fingertips. It made me smile.

"I got your food, fatass," Zayn's familiar accented yell echoed through the hall which was most likely aimed at his fiancé. Perrie rolled her eyes at the way she'd been addressed before shrugging and muttering a quiet; "I am."

I giggled softly as they rounded the corner, Zayn followed by Lance both weighed down with brown paper bags with the familiar yellow M printed on top. Perrie and Zayn were a ship I wanted to board.
They dumped the bags down Zayn plucking a bag out of the small pile and passed it to me.

"Here's yours, Love." He said cheerfully, clearly having gotten over his previous irritation with Perrie for accidentally smacking him as he sounded as happy as normal. I wished for Harry to be the same way, although I highly doubted it.

"Thank you," I said happily as I rolled the top of it down to conceal any warmth and keep it within the bag so the food would remain warm whilst I made the trek back to the office to give Harry his lunch.

"I'll see you later Perrie." I said with a smile as I stood up allowing Zayn to collapse in my spot and begin digging through the bags like a hungry predator. I stifled a chuckle at his actions as Perrie chewed some fries before answering.

"Why? Where are you going with the food?" She asked, confusion clear as day across her fair face. I held up the bag ad wriggled it around a bit.

"To find Harry, I. . Um, bought some for him too. Figured he'd be hungry," I muttered shyly as I tucked some hair behind my ear as my cheeks tinged pink for some reason. Zayn grinned from behind his Big Mac with his mouth full as he nudged Perrie joyfully.

"Aw, you're so cute. Ok, I'll catch you later alligator." She said with a secretive grin painter across her face making me narrow my eyes at her and Zayn before sending them weird looks to convey to them that I had caught on to their strange behaviour before turning on my heel and wandering out of the large room. The bag clutched between my fingers as I searched for Harry.

I went up the marble staircase and rounded a corner to find the same office where I had been with Harry before I was promptly kicked out making me grin that I had found it quickly, I had feared with my shit sense of direction and a large house the food would go cold before I managed to even get it to Harry.

I knocked softly rocking back and forth on the heels of my feet as I waited to either be let in- or for someone to come out. A few seconds of passage later the door swung open to reveal Harry's frustrated looking features. His firm jaw was clenched tightly making it more prominent than before and his hair looked more messed up than before as if it had been subjected to hands constantly running through it. I suddenly felt a pang of guilt as I looked at his clearly stressed features feeling guilty for making his work harder for him earlier and in general.

I smiled softly wriggling the bag of food in front of him.

"Lunch break?" I questioned hoping he would say yes, I'm sure he's hungry and he looks in need of a break. He blew out a breath before he stepped out, shutting the door behind him.

"We'll go to my bedroom. I can't fucking deal with other people right now." He muttered as he passed me, his fingers swiftly gripping my wrist in a firm but painless hold as he led me forward and down the elongated corridor.

Note:
