"Hey, Brown are you asleep?" Asked Harry the second the call got connected.
"Harry?" Called out Brown in relief since he assumed the worst from Harry's midnight call.
"Yes, baby... I heard you had quite a day over there"
"Words travel fast but, embarrassing ones even faster"
"I got emails from Malik and Paul about it. I'm sorry I made you worry like that but, the signal where I was, was a headache"
"You're alive, safe and sound... We're talking and I'm grateful. Hi" Greeted Brown with a smile making Harry a yearning mess.
"I miss you" Said Harry sincerely.
"I miss_ You're not coming?" Asked Brown sharply when he understood Harry's underlying message.
"No, not tonight but, I'll be sure to be there even before you wake up, okay?" Replied Harry biting his nails, something he does whenever he's nervous and with Brown staying silent after his reply did nothing to ease his knots.
"I promise" Added Harry, "Say something, Brown!"
"Where are you?" Asked Brown with no emotion the only thing he could do to mask his heavy heart but, Harry saw through him.
"In a car... On my way back to you" Replied Harry cautiously since he knew how much Brown hates it when Harry travels at night and with people he doesn't know and trust.
"Harry..."
"I know and that's why I forced this video call"
"Did you eat?"
"Late lunch and a very healthy, heavy dinner... So, what did you eat?"
"Just ate rice with roasted cow meat at Helena's" Replied Brown casually but, that was not how Harry heard him. He thought he was being his narcissistic self.
"Why're you laughing?" Asked Brown confused but, amused. Harry was just infectious like that.
"Sorry, I just misheard that you're at Helena's house"
"I had to or she'd have made her daughter come to ours. It's far and cold and I know how much you hate to bother others..." Explained Brown caressing the screen imagining Harry being there physically but, the peaceful atmosphere couldn't last very long.
Somebody had to break the peace, "I hope this is to your taste... and a cake for dessert. I heard you've got quite a sweet tooth from Katie" An old man was heard beside Harry who made Harry panic looking from the man to Brown.
"Yeah... Ah...uhmm, thanks" Stuttered Harry accepting the package before eyeing a pissed off Brown.
"Who's that?" Asked Brown in a confrontational manner.
"My boss"
"Delivering food to his employees? What a good boss that he is" Commented Brown dryly.
"Please let's not make this an issue" Said Harry with a sigh pinching his nose bridge. He was tired. Had enough drama for the day.
"But, it is an issue!" Yelled Brown.
"Brown, I'm tired and would very much need some us time instead of you being this jealous and unreasonable over nothing" Said Harry calmly.
"Harry, I'm scared I'm gonna lose you to somebody else" Complained Brown when he saw just how much Harry was resisting the urge to hang up.
"Then teach me how to love you" Said Harry seriously. No, he wasn't angry at Brown just tired. He wanted a fresh of air from Brown not that only God knows what he was getting.
"I really hope you understand my heart and how it feels right now but, I don't know how to tell it to you"
"I love you, Brown"
"And I love you"
"Now, how about we get ready to sleep?"
"I can't"
"Go on, lay down on your bed" Cooed Harry knowing for a fact how that gives Brown the drowsiness.
"...Alright" Said Brown, following instructions before snorted happily.
"What is it?"
"I feel like a baby"
"Because, you're my baby, duh!"
"I miss your warmth"
"I miss your weight on me"
"What are we doing?"
"I don't know... Are you turned on?"
"I hate you"
"That's not true. You love me as much as you can"
"Yeah, I do"
"You did wonders today. I'm proud of you"
"I thought you were dead, wounded or anywhere near pain. That... that nearly broke me"
"But, it didn't"
"It did... I just didn't want you to be disappointed in me like that fan meeting day"
"I wasn't disappointed but, I'm glad you worked through the day like that... We're growing, Brown"
"I still would rather you being here with me all day, everyday"
"Me too" Replied Harry with a melting gaze at the sight of Brown's worn out face. He was dead tired but, still resisted the urge. Cute.
"...No, Just let me watch you fall asleep like usual" Said Harry when he realized that Brown wanted to talk in his state and earned a deep hum of agreement from Brown.
"I love you, Brown" Said Harry softly after Brown was already deep in his sleep.
"So, that was my husband on the phone" Said Harry proudly after hanging up.
"I know" The old man answered with a smirk.
"Are you gonna sign those damn papers or should I just sue you for harrassment?" Asked Harry with a murderous expression.
