Harry and delayed flight airport au please?
3 hours. It’d been three hours since your flight was supposed to leave, the terminal was filled with people who were leaving one by one to go and get food, some to rebook flights, but you stayed, falling asleep in the uncomfortable chairs as your eyelids got heavier and heavier.
You awoke as the boy with a mop of red curls barely contained within a bandana sits down a few seats over from you with a huff, making the row shake. He looks over at you with a panicked look.
“I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to wake you” He says as he places one prewrapped sandwich on top of his bag between you and opens another on his lap.
“No it’s alright, I didn’t mean to fall asleep anyways, don’t worry about it” You sit up, stretching your muscles out and rubbing at your eyes.
“What’s got you headed to georgia?” He asks in the soft british accent, taking a bite of his sandwich.
“Visiting a friend that I haven’t seen in a while. What about you?” You continue to adjust yourself into a more comfortable position in the seat. The only thing more uncomfortable than the seats on the airplane, were the ones in the terminal.
“Visiting my brother. He’s working there right now. He works there a lot actually” He speaks, noticing the way that you stare at the sandwich, which may be you just staring off into the distance but he offers anyways. “Take it.”
“What?” You ask, confused.
“The sandwich. Take it” He nods towards it.
“No, I can just get my own it’s okay” You say, the hunger in your stomach really starting to show itself now that there’s food around.
“Yeah but it’s all the way across the airport. Take it, please” He picks it up and hands the sandwich to you with a nearly intoxicating smile. You take it with a shaky hand.
“I’m Y/N, by the way” You say as you start to unwrap it.
“Harry” The two of you continue your conversation over sandwich’s. He’s kind and funny. Really funny. Tells you all about his brothers, all three of them, and all the stupid shit he did, you found ways to sneak in stories about your family and friends, though his childhood shenanigans are infinitely more hilarious and embarrassing than yours.
Finally, another two and a half hours passes, and first class is called to board. He stands up and starts to gather his stuff.
“First class huh?” You tease and he laughs with a nod.
“I know this is kinda weird but I know some places in Georgia that are rather nice. Say if you want to ditch your friend for a couple hours, we could get lunch or something” He asks nervously, a smile still present in his features, like it never seemed to leave.
“I’d love to” You pull out your phone and open instagram, handing it to him and explaining that your phone plan won’t work there. He gives you a small chuckle and sends himself a dm. He closes your phone and hands it back to you.
“I’ll see you then” His smile widens, flashing his teeth at you and it feels like those stupid moments in movies when the teeth glint. And then he turns around and leaves, sending you a wave as he disappears into the tunnel that leads into the plane.
Once he’s settled, just as coach is called, he responds over instagram.
