youâre someone i just want around: XI
âNo one ever got me high like this, set me on fire like this
Running on a wire like this, losing my mind like this
I donât know what it is, but I could never call it quits
I just wanna stay like this
I just wanna stay like this, like this.â

IMPORTANT A/N: AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! hi 𼺠itâs been a while, hasnât it? but iâm so ecstatic to be back with a new chapter for you guys! Iâm very sorry it took so long, school has just been kicking my ass (bio major tingz â¨) and trying to juggle writing amongst everything was really hardâ it felt like pulling teeth, honestly. But here she is! I just want to preface this chapter by saying that the first part of it takes place in a POV where itâs overlooking their entire relationship in the past, present, and future, so it doesnât really have a setting other than in the charactersâ minds. After that, it picks up right where we left off in ch10 with Y/N falling asleep to Harryâs singing. Itâs sort of like when a movie overlooks the whole plot, then rewinds and starts from the beginning. Itâs hard to explain, but you guys will understand as you read! I just wanted to clear it up now to avoid any confusion.Â
I also want to say that this fic is something that has become a huge part of leyla and Iâs lives, so it takes a lot of energy and time, especially when we crank out chapters with such huge word counts and we do it for free. And with the pandemic, school, and work, writing has become increasingly more difficult, and your support means more than we could ever possibly put into words. Due to all of this, Iâm going to link our kofis down below, in case anyone wants to provide a bit more support to two tired ass college students hanging on by a thread LMAO. Please donât feel pressured or required to do so!! Itâs only there for anyone who can spare some help!
Again, thank you so much for all your constant love and support for us and for this fic! It wouldnât be what it is without all of you! A special shoutout to miss paige @harryinthecountrysideâ for listening to my endless ramblings and stress venting about this. i love you, i guess đ Just a friendly reminder that feedback is truly, madly, deeply⢠appreciated! If you enjoy it, please reblog it! Spreading content keeps creators motivated! Without further delay, letâs dive in đźÂ

Helpless from the Hamilton soundtrack. basically honeymoon phase fluff galore! oh and internalized angst, guilt, and self-destructive tendencies! have fun!
Harry isnât a serious person.
He hardly takes things seriously anymore, unless it pertains to life and death situations, and considering whoâ or rather whatâ he is, those encounters come up more often than heâd like to admit. Nevertheless, he maintains the carefree mantra, because forcing himself to be bland for anything less than apocalyptic is a pastime heâd rather not indulge. And though he was very much the opposite when he was aliveâ treating everything as if it was of extreme importance, walking on eggshells just to save anyone the trouble of having to clean up a mess heâd madeâ he behaves in such an opposite manner now for a very specific reason, and he had intendedâ truly, sincerely intendedâ to keep it that way for the rest of eternity.Â
Back when the vampire was mortal, he had lived during an era where it was required to observe matters under the utmost scrutiny. His entire human life (as short and monotonous as it had been) was almost three decades of him being the most respectful, hard-working, conforming young man he could possibly be. He was raised to act as such, and he followed that dull Victorian standard down to the last thread, because he knew that there were peopleâ his loved onesâ that were counting on him and his societal success to ensure peace and prosperity for the rest of the family lineage. And in order to achieve said success, he had to take everything seriously; there had been no room for mistakes, no space for second-guessing, and as the sole son of a working class family, he would have rather seen himself dead before disappointing his parents.Â
Unfortunately, it seems the universeâjust like Harryâ had taken that hyperbole a bit too seriously.
