Harry and Ichigo both cowered under the power of Sirius Black's ire, they were sitting on the edge of Harry's bed still dressed in the clothes they had fallen asleep in last night. Sirius was standing in front of them arms crossed and glaring heavily at the top of their heads. Neither teen could bring themselves to look the angry man in the eye.
"Explain now." The demand was swift and harsh and left no room for argument.
"Nothing happened Dad I swear.." Harry trailed off as Sirius raised his arm and made a jerking motion towards the other teen.
"Not you Harry I want to hear what happened from HIM." Sirius refolded his arms and turned his glare up a notch. It was as if he was trying to burn Ichigo to death with a look alone.
"Harry is right sir nothing happened I, it was my fault I've been busy with...a school play so haven't been able to see him much and I missed him. I was only going to pop over for a bit then leave but we must have fallen asleep. That's all that happened truly!" Ichigo looked briefly at Harry before lifting his eyes to look at the pissed off protective father, his hands were nervously playing with the bedsheets beneath him.
Sirius locked eyes with the orange hair teen and a tense silence followed.
Finally, the older wizard let out a loud suffering sigh and nodded once.
"I believe you, but I'm still not happy about you sneaking into my son's room at night! From now on if you want to come over you use the door and I have the right to turn you away if it's too late." He looked over at his son, his face and stance softening, he could never stay mad at Harry not when the boy was clearly upset over having upset him. "I understand falling too sleep wasn't the plan but Harry you should have sent him away." Sirius suddenly grinned and reached forward ruffling both boys hair. "No harm no foul this time. But do not let it happen again, now I think it's best if you went home Ichigo"
Ichigo nodded his head and quickly pecked Harry gently on the cheek with a kiss before bolting out of the room as if he was scared Sirius would change his mind and punish him.
"I am sorry Dad." Mumbled Harry his hands clenched together in his lap, his eyes were surprisingly damp.
"It's fine really Harry, I would be more upset if something had happened but I trust you not to take things that far yet." Sirius grunted when his son launched himself at his mid-drift. Sniffling the boy clung to him for dear life. Sirius smiled and wrapped his arms around Harry squeezing softly and planting a light kiss onto his crown.
"There there Harry it's okay." He muttered softly.
Harry sniffled and snuggled deeper into his Dads arms. He had been upset before, after all this was the first time his Dad had been disappointed in him. But hearing that Sirius trusted him meant a lot.
Harry had just finished cleaning up from breakfast when his phone went off. A smile spread across his face when he read the message.
Sorry about this morning I want to make it up to you meet me outside in 30mins and be prepared to go out and get home just before dinner
Slipping his phone back into his pocket Harry went to head to his room to gather what he would need for a day out, however, he paused after one step frowning. Would his Dad even let him meet up with his boyfriend after this morning? Feeling uncomfortable with keeping something from his dad Harry changed course and headed to his Dads study determined to at least try to get the all clear.
Knock, knock.
Harry twisted his hands anxiously fiddling with the bottom of his top as he stood waiting for the okay to enter.
"Come in"
Taking a deep breath and trying to calm his thoughts Harry pushed the door open, he was greeted to the sight of his dad hunched over very large and old book with what looked like handwritten notes scattered haphazardly beside, Sirius was chewing on the tip of his quill staring intently at a page. While a half eaten sandwich lay on the plate balanced on another book.
"Dad, I know after this morning you would probably say no but Ichigo wants to make up for falling asleep in my bed and its day time and we are going out I think so nothing will go wrong I'm sure of it but if you don't want me to its okay I understand maybe inst..." Harry took a big breath when he run out of air mid-word, opening it he went to carry on.
"Whoo woo there kiddo slow down." Sirius turned in his chair putting his arms up and outwards towards Harry gesturing for him to sit down. "Let me get this right, Ichigo wants to go out somewhere with you?" Harry nodded. "And you want me to agree to it after this morning?"
Here Harry looked down sadly and nodded knowing that it was unlikely but still hoping.
"Okay"
"Okay?"
"Okay"
Harry blinked slowly trying to process the fact he was given permission. He looked back up and darted his eyes towards his Dad.
"You will really let us hang out all day?"
Sirius Smiled softly at his son and nodded.
"Of course kiddo, nothing really happened last night. Am I a little pissed that he stayed over without me knowing? A little but not enough to ground you, and I know how much you like him so I would feel terrible if I stopped you seeing him. However please be home before dinner and ring me or Ichigo's Dad if you need anything. I trust you to be responsible Harry."
Harry was on his feet in a flash and sprinting across the room as soon as his Dad finished speaking. Sirius gave a loud grunt in surprise as his son suddenly collided with him in a hug nearly knocking them both to the floor. Chuckling Sirius wrapped his arms around Harry and squeezed suddenly earning a small squeak from the boy.
"You are the best Dad ever!"
"Course I am!"
They both laughed lightly letting go of each other.
"Well, I'm going to go and get ready he should be here in.." Harry looked over at the old grandfather clock Sirius had in his study. "20 minutes or so."
"Have fun kiddo!"
With that, Harry turned and left with a bounce in his step.
Harry found himself outside well before Ichigo was due to meet him, he had just been so excited that he had gotten ready and downstairs in record time.
Humming to himself he decided to do some light weeding while he was waiting, so after putting his coat and bag down near the path to the gate he crouched down and started pulling out some little weeds that had started growing.
Harry was lost in his own world by the time Ichigo crossed the street toward his house. So when the orange haired teen opened the gate and walked up behind him he had no idea.
"Hey" Ichigo said softly.
Harry epped and jumped up turning around as he did in surprise, only the action caused him to lose balance and before he could blink Harry found himself held in place by gentle and firm hands.
"Sorry didn't mean to startle you Harry are you okay?" Ichigo frowned with concern at his boyfriend.
"I'm fine really sorry just didn't hear you coming" Harry blushed and coughed moving out of the warm hands embarrassed over the sound he had made being surprised like he had.
"Sorry I should have realised, anyway are you ready to go?" Asked Ichigo smiling at the blushing boy.
"Yep, all ready!" Replied Harry as he walked back over to his bag and coat. "Where are we going anyway?"
"The mall."
"What are we going to do at the mall?"
"Mmmm not telling." Ichigo grinned at Harry seeing him pout at his answer. "It's not a big surprise but still a surprise so let's go!" Ichigo held out his hand towards Harry and smiled.
Grinning from ear to ear Harry eagerly latched onto Ichigo's hand with his own. The walk to the mall was silent. But both boys smiled the whole way their eyes catching glances of their interlocked fingers regularly.
By the time they arrived at their destination Ichigo was a ball of nerves, this was the first time he had taken Harry out like this and he was nervous something would go wrong.
Upon entering the interior of the five-story mall both teens stopped for a moment taking in just how busy the place was, there were people as far as the eye could see all bustling about in a hurry to get from one shop to another. There where families with screaming kids were auguring while they walked and couples young and old smiling and holding hands, there were happy familys chatting up a storm as they shopped. All in all the boys were a little overwhelmed as Ichigo was not really a people person and Harry was not used to being in this close proximity so many people at once.
"Sorry, I forgot how busy this place gets in the weekend" Said Ichigo pulling Harry towards his side more as a rather rude man almost bowled into him while talking on his cell.
"Yea it's way more busy then when I came yesterday, but I'm sure we can still enjoy ourselves" As if to prove his own statement true Harry turned his face up to look at his boyfriend in the eye and beamed a loving smile his way.
Ichigo blushed and cleared his throat smiling softly back. Harry just had the amazing ability to wrangle a smile from him no matter his mood.
"How about we go and get our photos taken in a photo booth? People do that on dates right?" Pondered Ichigo his head was already turning every which way to locate one so he failed to notice the look of surprise on Harry's face.
"This is a date?" Asked Harry, it was his turn to blush now as he was caught off guard. Though he supposed going out to the mall with your boyfriend like this could be a date it just had never occurred to him.
Ichigo turned back to look at Harry and frowned. "I didn't say this was a date?"
"Nope"
"O... Well, it was meant to be a date, but if you don't want it do be it won't be I'm su.." Ichigo blinked as a warm finger came to rest on his lips mid-word, Harry's green eyes were sparkling at him and a delighted grin had stretched across the raven hair boys face.
"I'm fine with this being a date I was just a little surprised after all we haven't really been on many official dates." By now Harry could not stop smiling, he was just so happy, so instead of talking more he entwined his arm with Ichigo's and gave a light tug. Ichigo grinned and started walking them off towards the direction where he was sure he had spotted a photo booth.
It took them a few minutes and several window shopping stops before they finally stood in front of the small booth that would take and print 4 small photos. It was a bright purple and covered in pictures of people, the doorway was covered by a long black piece of cloth that was halfway pulled, thankfully there was no one inside.
"Right so I've never used one of these before but my sister insisted that this is done on dates." Ichigo frowned his eyes glancing over the plastic booth with uncertainty.
"Well, It should be fun I've hardly ever had my photo taken. Come on!" Wasting no time Harry tugged his boyfriend forward as he swept the curtain aside and stepped into the small room pulling the other teen behind. "it's smaller then I thought" Muttered Harry glancing at the black plastic two-seater chair before turning and looking at the screen, he was far to used to life as a wizard it seemed, as everything there was mostly bigger on the inside.
"It smells funny." Was the only comment Ichigo muttered as he sat down and closed the curtain behind him.
Giving a small shrug Harry sat down next to him. They sat there in silence for a minute before both blurted out at the same time..
"I don't know how to use comp.."
"Do you want me to set it up?"
Both boys smiled and Harry nodded eagerly.
"Yea can you do? Me and computers aren't a thing I would probably blow us up"
At that statement Ichigo looked concerned and leant even closer to Harry, he stopped his lips only centimetres from Harry's ear, this caused Harry to shiver slightly as Ichigo's breath glossed over his skin.
"Blow us up? Are wizards allergic to computers or something?" Whispered Ichigo, he was being careful to not be heard. Harry looked thoughtful for a moment before shrugging.
"Kinda more like computers are allergic to us, Dad had to get special cell phones for us to use after the first one he bought at a muggle store blew up in his hand."
Ichigo snorted at the mental image of what Harry's fathers face would have looked like at that moment, he was sure it would have been hilarious.
"Okay, so let's do this!" Ichigo nodded and fiddled with the touch screen for a moment. "Okay, so it says we will have a short countdown before photos. Ready?"
"Ready"
When the camera first went off Harry and Ichigo were simply sitting straight and smiling towards the lens, when the second flash went off Harry had his lips firmly pressed to his blushing boyfriends cheek, when the 3 flash went off Ichigo had his lips lightly flush with a grinning Harry's forehead, when the final flash went off Both boys were cuddled into each other smiling softly not towards the camera but each other.
Laughing softly Harry untangled himself from Ichigo and stepped out of the booth, the other teen following behind.
"I can't wait to see the pictures, how long do we have to wait?" Asked Harry as he eyed the slot the finished photos came out of.
"Not long I don't think." Ichigo had been right and no sooner had he stopped speaking did the photos fall into the holder. Harry eagerly picked them up smiling happily as he looked them over.
"I like this one the most!"
Harry pointed towards the last one where they were looking at each other.
"I have to agree, though I think We only get some copy? Unless I pressed something wrong" He frown towards the plastic booth.
"Well, I can copy them no problem at home if you want." Said Harry pondering to himself if his dad could make them move. He was not too sure how wizard photos were done.
"That sounds good." Ichigo glanced at his watch, it was just past 12, lunch time.
"How about we grab some lunch then I was thinking we could catch a movie before heading home?"
"Sounds wonderful! I've never been to a movie theatre before."
"Really? Don't wizards have them?:
"No they don't.." Harry trailed off his thoughts sinking towards his time with the Dursleys when Dudley had been taken to every movie he had wanted to see and then some while he had been left at Mrs figs, the old cat lady that had lived across the road.
Ichigo noticing his boyfriend's sour turn in mood wrapped his arm around Harry's waist.
"Well, that makes this day even more special." He squeezed Harry lightly as the boy smiled at him.
"You're right, thank you."
Twenty minutes later found them sitting at a four-seater table in the food court, there had been no two seating tables free by the time they had got there. Ichigo and Harry had opted for an assortment of items like sushi and rice balls and steamed buns as Harry could not make his mind up on what to try and Ichigo was not too concerned with what he had.
They had only just started eating, Harry choosing to start with a nice looking rice ball and Ichigo digging into some dumplings when the sound of someone clearing their throat was heard. They both paused mid-bite and looked up, Ichigo seemed nonplussed while Harry's eyes widened at the height of the male that stood next to their table, he was so tall! Harry was sure he was taller than his dad.
"Chad?" Ichigo seemed shocked but not upset at seeing the stranger.
"Mmmmm" Was the reply given followed quietly by "Full."
"Ahh" Said Ichigo glancing around and noticing that yes the food court was so filled with people there was not a single free table. "Well, you can sit with us no problem right Harry?" Ichigo gave Harry a slight pleading look with his eyes, he wanted to help his friend out but he did not want to ruin his date either.
"That's fine!" Harry smiled up at the man? Teen? "I don't mind the more the merrier."
"O right Chad this is Harry, Harry this is Chad. Chad's a friend and Harrys my boyfriend." Ichigo blushed slightly at the last word, he had not told many people he was even dating he was too private of a person.
"Nice to meet you." Said Harry watching Chad take a seat, the new member of their table wasted no time and started eating as soon as he was down. Harry shrugged and paid him no mind, instead, he turned back to his own food. The meal progressed with some small talk between the three, though Chad was very softly spoken when they got him to reply.
Despite being the last to start eating Chad finished first and with a soft goodbye he left without much fanfare.
"He seems nice, if not a bit quiet." Said Harry as he munched happily on a red bean steamed bun.
"Yea he's a good person." Replied Ichigo he was happy that Harry liked this friend, he knew from personal experience that Chad's size often put people on the defensive, and poor Harry was tiny next to the taller teen. "Right I think I'm stuffed." Ichigo burped loudly and put down half an egg roll while Harry giggled softly at him for the noise causing him to blush yet again.
"Mmmmm yep, I think I've eaten enough for the week."
Harry finished his rice ball and patted this stomach fondly. It felt ready to burst but he had enjoyed the meal greatly. Plus it had been nice to meet a friend of Ichigos, he didn't count Rukia as his boyfriend's friend, more like his personal trainer? Or coach?
"How about we head off to the movie now?"
"Sure, if I can move" Joked Harry, he groaned as he stood up straightening, the urge to curl up and sleep after such a filling meal overwhelming. "What are we seeing anyway?" He looked towards Ichigo only to pout at the cheeky grin he received.
"It's a surprise."
A/N: Right good news next chapter plot/story will actually move on :O Kon will be making an appearance and we might get to see some of Ichigo's training.
