I sighed as I walked into the courthouse, having to take off the scarf I had tied around my head. I headed right to dans office and kept my head down.
“whoa watch where you’re going kiddo!” Harry exclaimed when I nearly walked into him. “Whoa and kiddos passenger. I can see why you weren’t looking where you were going.” I swallowed and bit my lip.
“Harry…” I trialed off as he tipped his hat at me.
“that is a look that would look better covered up.” Tears pricked my eyes and I pushed back Harry. “Slow down! All that weight can’t be good for you!” I wiped at my eyes as I kept walking. I didn’t see where I was going and bumped into Dan.
“Hey. Whoa. Everything alright?” He asked as he put his hands on my arms. I shook my head and looked up at him with tears running down my cheeks. “Alright. Come on. In here.” Dan led me to his office and sat me down on his couch. “What happened?” He pulled me close and pressed a kiss to my head as I cried.
“Harry…saw…I look…terrible…and made…jokes about…it.” I sobbed out. Dan pushed me away gently but kept his hands on my arms.
“you don’t look terrible. You could never look terrible. What do you mean?” Dan asked. His eyebrows furrowed in confusion.
“you…don’t…see it?” I asked as I pushed some hair out of my face. Dans eyes scanned my face.
“No.” He shook his head. “I don’t know what you are talking about.” I sobbed again but a slight smile grew on my face. I pointed at the red spot I had noticed before leaving my apartment that morning. “Oh. That? It’s nothing (Y/N)! Barely noticeable.” Dan reassured me as I buried my face in his chest. “Harry doesn’t know what he’s talking about.” Dan rubbed my back and I pulled away once I was calmed down. “Better?” He asked. I nodded as I wiped away the remaining tears.
“yeah. Thank you.” Dan smiled at me and leaned in for a kiss. I giggled as I kissed him.
“any time.” He whispered as he brushed some hair over the blemish. “Since you think it makes you look terrible.” He joked. I moved my hair back and giggled again. Smiling at me, Dan took my hand and led me to the court room.
“evening Dan. (Y/N). (Y/N)’s passenger.” Harry teased as we walked in. Dan watched as I shrunk in on myself a little.
“that’s enough Harry.” Dan said. There was an edge to his tone that was rarely there. Harry opened his mouth to say something and Dan stepped up to the bench. “You finish that thought stone and I don’t care that you’re a judge. Let them disbar me. I don’t care.” I gulped and watched as Harry looked at Dan in awe.
“ok.” Harry said softly. Dan backed down and walked back over to his desk. He kissed me on the way back and I smiled at him as he stepped up to start the first case of the night.
