A bit higher rating for some suggestive themes ;)
Prompt: Harry/Evie caught by the others in the dorm.
Their undoing had been a lapse of judgement on her part as Harry all but insisted that they were safe. She thought she had better self-control than she did, but she had to admit that in all honesty, he had been completely right.
Ever since they had made their relationship official, it was one characterized by excuses and secret hiding places as Evie had made it firm that their relationship was one that would be hidden by the shadows. She didn't like the arrangement as much as he did, but they both knew that this would be their best option at this period in time. Despite him, Uma and Gil having arrived at Auradon four months ago, relations between both groups of VKs had been anything but friendly. While they all could get along with Gil, Uma and Harry were a whole different story. Uma was still unable to set aside her grudges against Mal, leading her to practically disliking the other three as well. And Harry, well Harry had a talent at pissing off people just by speaking. He and Jay still had their ridiculous rivalry going on, and Mal wasn't particularly fond of him either. With Carlos, it almost like he was afraid of him, something that Evie could never figure out why.
And with her, let's just say that all his endless flirting had finally gotten to her and she had fallen for him before it was too late. They had always had a little thing going on even before Auradon, but it never went beyond teasing banter whenever they were in each other's presence. But once the pirate had escaped from the Isle, he had managed to take the banter one step further when he always seemed to openly seek out the girl, much to the curiosity of the others. Of course she had squashed it down by arguing that he happened to be his favorite person to annoy, which they bought easily because she made sure to shout at him every time they were in sight. Of course, Harry took it all in stride until one day it all boiled down to him grabbing her and pulling her into an empty classroom where he kissed her until her lips swelled.
From that day forward, their 'extracurricular activities' had been one of secret, Harry taking every opportunity he could to get them alone. It had worked for a good three months, if she said so herself, Evie having trained her senses to alert them if anyone was nearby when they were in the middle of their little activities. Of course it had gotten tiring when they had once been interrupted five times within a single hour, and it had all but killed the mood.
But now they had gone almost a week without being able to meet in private, mainly because of the royal celebrations coming up that garnered her all her attention. On the one free day she had to spare, Harry had taken the opportunity to sweep her away before she could say otherwise, stating that it had been far too long. She couldn't help but agree; it had been far too long without him that she wondered how she even managed to keep her sanity with the piles of workload stacking everyday. He had wanted to ease her stresses by taking her out on a date near the Enchanted Lake, which was beautiful to say the least, until they had had to cut their date short because duty had called.
This had sent Evie running to the dorms where she was supposed to have delivered a dress in ten minutes, with Harry at her heels. He refused to let her go without him, so thanks to his help, she had managed to meet the deadline in time. When they had returned to her dorm room, which thankfully she now had to herself, Harry took this opportunity to kiss her, deciding this was the best time to do so. She was initially reluctant, urging that someone might catch them, but Harry argued that no one would be needing her today, not when she had her day off.
Without having anymore fight left in her, Evie had melted right into the kiss, sinking into his arms as he carried her by the waist, gently dropping her onto her fluffy bed. She leaned back into her pillows as he crawled on top of her, his lips curving into that sexy smirk of his before she pulled him by the neck to kiss him. Harry had returned her kiss with as much fervor as she had, using his arms to support himself so as not to squash her with his entire weight.
Her hands, which had been running through his hair, had lowered to push the leather jacket off his shoulders, Harry taking it off without hesitation. He threw it to the ground without a second look, his lips still attached to hers as her hands moved to lift up his shirt. He still wore that same ripped shirt he would wear back on the Isle, full of rips and tears that she could easily feel his skin beneath her touch.
Harry's lips curved into a grin as he pulled away slightly, only to lift off his remaining shirt as Evie unzipped her own leather ensemble. Her eyes raked up and down his exposed chest with darkened eyes, teeth biting her lips before he lowered himself back down to kiss her, Evie letting out a small giggle in delight. Her hands roamed the expanses of his hardened chest, one carved from years of sword fighting and pillaging, as he moved his own to settle on her waist.
His fingers moved to the edges of her shirt, ready to remove the shirt when they heard a loud scream from her dorm room door as Harry felt himself being aggressively shoved off of her. Evie's eyes widened in shock as she watched the pirate be tackled to the ground by a familiar bulky figure, her eyes soon moving to the door where she saw the shell shocked faces of Mal and Carlos.
Shit.
"Oi! Gerroff me!" she heard an angry cry from the corner, but she couldn't look as she kept her eyes on her frozen friends.
"Mal, Carlos…"
Mal's eyes diverted to the blue haired girl, sharing a look before she turned to the side of the bed where Jay held Harry to the ground. A scowl settled on her face as she marched up to him, Evie's eyes dilating when realization struck.
Before Mal could even do anything to the boy, Evie had finally jumped off her bed and blocked the girl, putting herself between her and her pirate. She raised an eyebrow in bemusement and slight anger. "What are you doing? Move Evie, I have to teach him a lesson."
Evie shook her head vehemently, placing a hand out to stop her. "Stop, it wasn't his fault."
Her nostrils flared at this. "Not his fault? He came on to you! He was ready to take you!" she practically screamed, Evie wincing at the loudness of her voice.
"I was not gonna take her!" Harry shouted from below, Mal's frown only deepening at the interruption.
"Liar! I saw what your hands were doing. You were ready to take off her shirt."
"I wasn't doin' anything the princess didn't want me to," he managed to get out before Jay covered his mouth to shut him up.
Mal looked taken aback as she diverted her attention back to Evie, eyeing her in bewilderment. "Is what he said true?"
The girl turned back to share a look with Harry, who gave her an infinitesimal nod before she turned to face the girl's green eyes again. Confidently, she firmly nodded, lifting her chin up. "He's not lying. In fact, I was the one who came onto him.''
She looked completely stunned at this, jaw dropping in struck silence. "How long?" they heard Carlos say from the right, Evie having almost forgotten he was there.
She turned to him. "Three months. We've been dating for three months."
They raised their eyebrows in surprise. "Three months? Why didn't you tell us? I thought we were your best friends E!"
Evie lowered her gaze in guilt. "You are my friends, my best friends."
"Then why did you feel the need to keep something so important from us?"
Her eyes narrowed before she pointed to Jay and Harry, who was still being held down like some sort of animal. "Because of this! Don't lie and tell me that you weren't going to hex him if I hadn't told you."
Mal had the decency to look the least bit guilt as Evie carried on. "I couldn't tell you, nor could Harry tell Uma and Gil because of the reactions you guys would have. You and Uma still have that rivalry going on between you two, and you all seem to hate Harry."
Carlos opened his mouth in protest. "I don't hate him."
She shook her head. "No, but you are scared of him for some reason."
He slightly nodded, lowering his eyes a little bit. Evie sighed before turning back to Evie. "You see why I had to hide it from you? I didn't want you guys to misunderstand, or try to break us apart. I'm with him out of my own accord, and not because he seduced me if that's what you're thinking."
"I honestly think it would've been the other way around," she heard Jay quip from behind her, Evie turning to look at him.
"Can you get off him? I'd like to have my boyfriend in one piece," she remarked, Jay looking sheepish before finally moving to stand up, Harry letting out a gasp of breath in relief. Evie moved to help him up, taking him by the hand as she carried him to his feet. He shot her a grateful look, the girl responding with a smile of her own.
"What's going on here? I heard a scream and— why is Harry half-naked? And why are you all gathered around him?" they heard a new voice interrupt from the door, everyone turning to meet the gaze of a frowning Uma.
Evie wanted to slam her forehead on a table somewhere. She didn't think she'd have to come clean to Uma so soon, hoping that perhaps she could've kept it a little while longer until it all settled down between her friends. But apparently not.
"Ooh, did you all catch them?" this time they turned to find Gil having newly arrived behind Uma, smiling at all of them smugly.
"Catch them? What are you on about?" Uma asked in bemusement.
He pointed to the shirtless Harry and the dishevelled Evie beside him, who were eyeing him like a hawk. "Those two. They're dating, aren't they?"
Everyone raised an eyebrow in surprise. "How'd ye find out?" Harry spoke out, just as bewildered as everyone else. Of all people, Gil had managed to figure it out all on his own accord. He had to give it to him, while he wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed, he was quite observant.
Gil shrugged. "It was kinda obvious. You two were always together, and I've never seen Harry annoy someone as much as he did you so I kinda figured."
Uma frowned before turning to the couple in question, eyeing them behind unreadable eyes. "Is this true?"
"Yeah, I'm datin' the princess."
"And how long?"
"Three months," Carlos quipped, Uma raising a brow. "That long? And when were you going to tell me?" she asked Harry this time, glaring hardly at him.
"They all only just found out a couple of minutes ago," he replied, "But if Evie had it her way, we probably never would've told any of ye."
At this, Evie slapped him lightly on his chest. "Not never. I was going to tell them…eventually."
"And how long was 'eventually' before either of us found out?"
Evie winced. "I was hoping maybe, six months? Give or take a few."
"Six months?" Mal uttered in disbelief. "Are you serious?"
She nodded. "I already explained it to all of you. I wanted to keep this a secret for as long as we could, perhaps until you and Uma had your thing sorted and we could maybe all be friends again."
"It's not my fault she won't listen to me."
Uma glared at the purple haired girl. "Oh yeah? It's not my fault that you won't listen to me."
Mal returned her glare with even more heat. "Listen to you? What's there to even listen—"
"Okay enough. Ye can both either take this outside and leave us both alone, or ye can all leave us both alone and we can never talk about this alone," Harry finally interrupted, frustrated at what was going to be the beginnings of the fight.
"So in other words, we should all just leave?" Carlos asked, Harry nodding with a dangerous grin on his face.
"Nice to see someone understands. Now scram, the lot of ye before I find my hook and hook ye all."
"Your hook is still in the museum," Jay remarked, earning the glare of Harry who was ready to punch the smirk off his face before Evie interrupted.
"Okay stop. Please, no more fighting. Now that my relationship with Harry is out in the open, I refuse to stand for this stupid rivalry any longer," she declared, eyeing all of them sternly. "We are all VKs, and we are all in the same boat. We were all good friends before we even came to Auradon, so why are we even fighting now? Why can't we stick together?"
She could see Mal and Uma's mouths begin to open before Evie cut them both off with a glare. "Either you two make up or I'll make you do it myself. I have all day."
The three were caught in a three way of glares, Evie unrelenting as her glare became colder and colder that Mal finally had to look away. "Okay fine! Uma, I'm sorry for everything I've done these past few years. I don't hate you, I've never hated you but I can't understand why we could never put these differences between us behind us and just start afresh."
Uma looked away, eyes meeting Harry's for a second before she turned back to the girl beside her. "It's too bad because I always did hate you," she began, Mal about to open her mouth before she spoke again, "But for Harry's sake I'll tolerate you. He's been my friend for a long time, and I'm not going to lose him for this."
Mal nodded in understanding. "Evie's important to me too, and I don't want to do anything that could hinder her own happiness."
Everyone watched in stunned silence as the girls called a truce, Harry snaking his arms around Evie's waist as she leaned into him. "I guess some good came outta them catchin' us after all."
She nodded in pride. "I guess something did."
When Mal and Uma's attention diverted back to the group around them, Mal's eyes narrowed when she noticed Harry hugging Evie. "Before we leave, Harry put your shirt back on."
Uma nodded in agreement, much to their surprise. "She's right. I don't want to see more of you than I have to."
The pirate rolled his eyes as he tightened his grip around Evie's waist. "Yer both just jealous the princess can have this and you can't."
The girls shared a look before scoffing. "You wish."
