summary: in which luna loses her cool, then harry swoops in and they try.
Luna knew she was fucked. The moment her lips touched her boss’, she knew she was fucked. At the time she kinda liked the idea of being wanted and desired the way Harry had made her feel.
But yet, here she was three days later with neither of them bringing up their kiss. Luna’s aim was to get on with her days, do her job and keep one little girl on the top of her priorities.
But, with Harry coming home from work and focusing solely on Ruby, she couldn't help but feel a little left out and jealous. She tries to feel guilty and pushes it to the back of her head that she’s jealous of a five year old, but it doesn't go away.
She at least thought he would have the decency to either be like ‘hey, that was a mistake, lol, sike’ or either confess his love and live happily ever after. The latter seemed a little over dramatic and hopeful, but a girl can dream, and she definitely dreamt.
On the occasion, like today, that Harry was running late, she was to start dinner for them as part of their new dynamic that seemed to be working for them all.
Ruby was definitely liking the idea of having Luna around more. She seemed a lot happier, played a lot better and overall her happiness kind of shot up.
Luna and Harry found this kind of off seeing as they expected the opposite with the lack of Fenn around, yet here Ruby was bursting with personality and pure joy.
Luna thinks that spending time with Ruby is quite possibly her favourite thing to do at this given time. Beyond the endless episodes of Paw Patrol, spaghetti hoops and toys jotted randomly across Harry’s house, she truly does enjoy her time here.
For example, today Luna had come up with the great idea to have a cinema night (afternoon) with Ruby, renting a new kids movie that came out and loading up on popcorn, chocolate milk and twix’s.
Ruby had taken it upon herself to grab her duvet from her bed and bring it down to the living room. When Luna laughed and said it was a fabulous idea, Ruby had trotted upstairs to grab Harry’s duvet for Luna to snuggle under.
When Luna saw the five year old draped in Harry’s king sized duvet, she gasped and led to a fight of giggles.
“Ru, that's your daddys!” She exclaimed, grasping it in her hold to take it back upstairs.
“No! What are you going to snuggle under?” Ruby asks, her tiny hands holding a strong grip on the duvet, so much that if Luna let go the poor give year old would topple over and she’d have to find her in a mess of duvet.
“But it's your Daddy’s, Ruby.”
“He won't mind! Daddys says you can’t watch a movie if you aren’t comfy!”
“M’not sure Ru” Luna hesitates.
All Luna can remember how good he smelt up close, that Tom Ford cologne engulfing her sense of smell. Consuming her so much that he was all she could smell for the rest of the evening. She reminisces on how when he kissed her neck she rested her head on his shoulder where her nose was up against his neck and all she could smell was him.
Luna wishes she could put to a point more of what he smelt like but she couldn’t. So for Ruby to be forcing her to snuggle on his bed sheets is almost blissful and she has to kick herself for wanting to squeeze them and bring them up to her nose.
Especially with Harry acting the way he is, not bringing up their steamy kiss they shared, she feels like it's pushing a boundary that she doesn’t want to push, yet, even when the words leave her mouth, she doesn’t regret them.
“Okay”
Ruby squeals with excitement and scurries to sit down on the floor padded with sofa cushions.
“Can we have popcorn, please Lu?”
“Only a small bowl, okay?” Luna compromises and goes to the kitchen to prepare a bowl for Ruby.

Pulling up to his incredibly impressive home, holding a sleek and expensive reputation within the neighbourhood, all he wanted to do was just snuggle up with his little girl and kiss his kids babysitter.
Harry, being well aware of how he couldn’t get the thought of her lips off his mind, urged himself just to forget, paying no mind to the fact that without even trying or with intention, she stole his heart.
And he doesn’t mean that he wants to stick his dick inside of her, no. He wants to take her to dinner, see that adorable smile on her face, turn over to wrap his arms around her in the morning, make her feel like she can do anything, he wants to love her.
Walking into his home, feet shuffling as he walked, he slipped off his shoes and chucked the keys of his 2020 BMW X5, a car he had bought for both looking good and safety for his little girl.
Harry sees his little girl gingerly moving and placing her teddies in the right positions in order to watch what he assumes is a film. She doesn’t notice him straight away, so he takes the opportunity to take off his jacket and make his way to the kitchen to make a cup of tea first.
“Salt or butter?” He hears Luna calls.
“It's me” He replies.
Luan turns, too quick for it to be played off well. Meanwhile Harry takes a seat on the bar stool as he watches her navigate around the kitchen making popcorn.
“Oh, welcome home” She smiles.
“I’m just getting some popcorn for Ruby, she wants a movie afternoon” She adds.
“‘Oh, welcome home’?” He mocks.
“Don’t sound too happy I’m home” He laughs to soften his statement.
“Oh, I didn’t mean it like that, I was just looking forward to having a movie afternoon with her, and of course, I guess I should get going now you’re home” She smiles, popping down the popcorn bowl in front of him.
She had already popped the kettle on too, knowing he would want a cup of tea.
Luna walked towards the closet in the hallways to grab her coat.
“Luna” He calls, getting up from the bar stool. He follows her to the closet, which is abnormally large for a closet in a hallway.
“Why are you leaving?”
“Because you’re home”
“But, you don’t always leave when I’m home?”
Luna stutters among her words, urging to find some excuse to just leave.
Harry stares at Luna as she places on her coat.
“Luna”
“Harry”
“This is about the other night isn’t it?”
“What when you pushed me up against your door, kissed me, made me all flustered after telling me how your marriage hasn’t been right for years, then never brought it up again? Most bloody probably.” she raised her eyebrows and sighs, losing her cool.
And it’s within this moment that Harry cannot think about anything other than how much he wants to kiss her.
“Can I kiss you? Please?”
“Harry! Are you absurd? We need to talk about this, you’re crazy! I’m leaving” She turns, but Harry’s quick to just touch her arm and call her name.
“Please stay. We’ll cook Luna something then bath her and pop her to bed and we’ll order in and talk okay? I want to talk.” He assures.
Luna stands for a moment, dumbfounded that the man in front of her, in a way, is begging for her to stay and just talk. She weighs her options.
And naturally, Luna did the thing she thinks anyone would do with a sexy, begging Harry Styles in front of her, she stays.
Ruby doesn’t question why Luna doesn’t leave before she goes to bed like she normally does. But, Ruby quite enjoys the presence of Luna when it's time for Harry to read her a bedtime story.
Luna can help but drool. He’s in sweats, a tight-fitted t-shirt showing all his muscles and more, but he’s talking so sweetly as he reads a Princess story. Being the best father he is, he reads in different voices, and creates all different manner of noises. She begs herself to not find him so hot, to not fall under his CEO, Dad soft persona he has going on.
All she wants to do is snuggle up with them more and fall asleep.
It's not straight away Harry and Luna discuss their situation. No. It’s after Harry orders way too much food from the local Dominos, and pours them both a glass of wine in the garden. The garden being full of warm fairy lights and cosy outdoor seating.
The doors left partially open, just in case Ruby woke up to find Harry, which happened often enough to be cautious.
Luna bites on the greasy pizza, if he was going to let her down, at least she could get some pizza off him.
“Now can we talk about this?” Harry asks, sipping his wine as he glares at Luna who has tried everything within her to restrain looking at him.
She gently swallows and turns to him.
“Look, if it was a mistake that’s fine, we’ll forget about it, but don’t fire me, that's not fair for me or Ruby.” She states putting her glass down.
Harry’s dumbfounded, fire her?
“Luna,” He starts.
“Because, I get it, I’m young, I look after your little girl, it’s fine, just please don’t fire me” She pleads, part of her is embarrassed, but the other is infuriated with herself for being in this situation in the first place.
“Luna, I’m not firing you, muppet”
Luna’s eyebrows scrunch, he’s not?
“Well, then, thank you. But it's okay ‘about it being a mistake then, all is forgiven and we can be done.” She smiles.
Harry is instantly a little heartbroken. Mistake? This was no mistake.
“Luna, I don’t think this is a mistake, love”
Luna's head tilts and she smiles a little.
“You don't?”
“Far from it,”
“But, I was under the impressio-”
“The wrong impression”
“I know it seems soon Luna, but things just feel so right, like I said, things hadn’t been right with Fenn and I, I know that now, I was kidding myself. What I feel right now, for you, is something I haven’t quite felt before, I’d quite like to explore that” He adds.
Luna cannot move, she tries, oh how she tries. But she’s just stone in her spot, he actually wants to try with her? Just Luna?
“I -mean”
Harry chuckles at her loss of words.
“What do you say?”
“Of course! I want to try with you too” She smiles, pressing a chaste kiss to his lips.
“We decide this and that's all I get?” He banters, patting the seat next to him, which Luna shuffles up to him giggling.
“I hope you don’t think it's that easy, Mr”
Harry smiles, slowly dragging his lips in to press a kiss on her lips. Sending a tingling feeling throughout her body. His lips encasing her bottom lip, he slowly pulls away only to remain against them once more, biting and suckling her lip, leaving her putty in garden furniture.
Harry taps her hips in suggestion of moving onto his lap, which she gladly partakes in and sits quite comfortably in his lap.
Luna pulls away, looking at Harry.
“We have to take this slow, it isn’t going to be easy, we’re really going to have to be careful.”
Harry looks down, sighing. Of course she’s right, he knows that.
“Daddy?” A small voice from the corner calls.
Luna quickly shuffles off his lap and sits next to him.
“Hey, darlin’” Ruby’s small feet shuffle through to the garden and in front of Luna and Harry.
“You're not at home” She states, looking at Luna.
“I’m not”
She hums.
“Shall we get you to bed?” Harry asks, trying to distract her.
Luna watches as Harry trots upstairs with Ruby in tow. She begins to grab her things and slowly get ready to leave. She leaves a few of her books on the kitchen counter, knowing she’d be here tomorrow so there was no point in taking them just to bring them back.
She decides Harry won’t care.
“Leaving me already?” Harry says as his feet shuffle down the steps of his carpeted stairs.
“Yeah, have an exam in the morning.”
“Close one, huh”
Luna tuts and smiles as she wonders over and presses her finger against his broad chest gently.
“That is why we need to be careful.” she laughed.
