Brother's Best Friend Scene (Harry)

Harry has been her brother's- Daniel's- best friend since the two were just boys. She was a few years younger than them both, so she had always been excluded from their activities despite her close relationship with her brother. As they got older, Harry started to notice the way her body changed and how she really grew into her own skin. She was exactly his sort of type. In spite of this, nothing every occurred between the two of them because Daniel noticed and made it clear to both Harry and her that he did not want anything to happen between them both. This was further reinforced in terms of anything intimate or romantic from occurring. He wanted to keep the world with his sister separate from the world with his best friend. If anything did ever happen between them, it would probably shatter the relationship with Daniel. Both knew what it meant, and it made Harry subconsciously push any thought of her to the back of his head. If only his friend could see how bad and toxic it was for him to do such a thing- denying feelings for someone that he did truly desire. It led to a lot of unhealthy relationships between Harry and girls who looked a lot like she did. Unfortunately, these girls were nothing like her in actuality, and these relationships were destined to fail. It was forced love after all, and he was trying hard to make things work when there was never actually anything there in the first place. All these failed relationships took its toll on Harry and made it hard for him to trust or open up to anyone. The man was going through a phase where he just wanted to be alone and almost entirely gave up on love and attachment.

The key word was almost because something important happened to change that. The dynamic he once had with his best friend changed when Daniel got a girlfriend. Her brother started to spend a lot more time with this girl, and it meant leaving Harry on his own quite often because he used to spend a lot of time at his friend's place. However, the time he used to spend with his friend was now spent with the same person's sister. She kept him company a lot of the times when his friend was unable to. The two of them started spending more and more time with each other even when it was not because of her brother ditching him. Harry found her to be someone easy to talk to and connect with, and that shell he built slowly started to crumble and open up to her. This was something that did not happen with any of his previous relationships. The inevitable finally happened as the two of them grew so accustomed to each other, and it just occurred one night. With her on his lap, they started making out while watching a movie. It was supposed to be a comedy, so how they ended up in that position was a mystery. Despite how right that kiss felt, but of them seemed to draw back for the same reason, which was her brother. They stopped there and acted like it never happened. Daniel eventually broke up with his girlfriend, and he and Harry moved into the city.

Harry was doing quite well for himself after completing his studies and was able to afford the rent for the entire apartment that was quite luxurious. Unfortunately, this move did put some distance between him and her, but maybe that was for the best. Neither wanted to upset Daniel, and they did not see each other for quite some time. This should have been the easiest way to avoid any sort of feelings or mistakes that might happen if they were too close to each other.... It was early in the morning, and she wakes up to feel someone stirring underneath her. However, when she wakes up, she sees Harry sleeping peacefully underneath her. His arms wrapped around her and keeping her close. His masculine scent radiating off of him. Their clothes scattered around the room, and the only thing she could remember was seeing him at the bar. Her brother was down the hall from his room.
