cola, soda, fizzy, pop (part 1)
somewhere in the midst of navigating their transition from childhood to young adulthood, Y/N and Harry take the phrase ‘jinx, you owe me a soda’ way too seriously.

Of all the things that have been ruined for you, you never would’ve imagined that it would be sodas.
Indeed, it’s no longer a rare sight for the locals to find you rooted to the tiles of the convenience store a few streets down from home, staring at the assortment of colourful cans and bottles lined up behind the refrigerated glass, your expression a calm hiding the storm.
No one understands why you are like this.
You just were. One day, you were chugging sodas at a party like a Greek who was loyal to Dionysus, and the next, up to this day, you haven’t had so much as a sip of a soda. You’d have a non-carbonated drink, a cordial, sparkling wine, but that’s the furthest you went.
That is not to say that you were a health junkie, either. You wouldn’t turn down chocolate if your tastebuds yearned for it, and you still bought the sinful almond croissant from the bakery every time you got a noseful of it down the street.
This unexplained change gave the people who knew you whiplash. At first, it was a lot of melodramatic gasps from your friends over dinner, going on for weeks about the new soda-less diet you’re bound to fail. Then, it was older relatives using you as an unwilling role model for their children to drink more water.
No one had expected that you’d stick to this soda ban, but you did.
No one knows that it was Harry Styles who had ruined sodas for you.
