Summary: Harry gets a girlfriend and she isn't too fond of his friendship with a certain sea witch
Uma knew her friend was a natural head-turner, with his dark hair, dazzling smile and eyes so blue Triton would be jealous. That's why Uma wasn't surprised when Harry had gotten a girlfriend quickly after settling into Auradon. On the Isles he was a flirt and every woman, guy and girl was immediately under his spell. All except Uma who found it insufferable, but yet it had its advantages.
Back to the issue at hand, the pirate had found someone other than Uma to pledge his undying loyalty to. Which was great...until it wasn't.
It wasn't a shock that she wasn't a big fan of Uma; Aquamarine was the daughters of one of Ariel's sisters,- which one, Uma didn't know. Uma didn't have an issue with her, she hadn't met her, only hearing about her from Harry's endless adoration. She found it hilarious that she had him so thoroughly whipped.
However, a few weeks into them dating Aquamarine had made it very clear to her that she was "to stay the fuck away from Harry. He was on track to being one of coolest guys at school and he doesn't need you ruining it for him or our relationship." Uma would've hexed her if it didn't mean her getting sent back to the Isles, plus the more Uma thought about it, she realized she was actually kinda right.
Harry was her most loyal follower in more ways than one. On the Isles, he felt the need to kidnap, steal and threaten people for the sake of honoring her. Everything wrong Harry did was more than likely because of her.
With that being said, Uma understood the need to keep him on the right track, but she had no idea what role she played in their relationship. Evie had told her that she was probably jealous of her,'These AK's are uber threatened of us badass VK's in more was than one. That's why they're jerks'
Uma didn't know why she felt so threatened; she had it all: family, money, popularity, beautiful blue eyes, long flowing hair and beauty. If Audrey had a twin, it would be her. All Uma had was anger issues and a lot of pain.
Still in hopes of making sure Harry was happy she distanced herself; quitting the fencing team, eating in her room during meals, taking different ways to class, cutting off any and all communication with him.
School was starting to get to her and all the avoiding wasn't helping her head. Uma had no-one to talk to and Evie and Mal just told her shit she didn't wanna listen to. To make matters worse, Aquamarine had been glaring extra murderously at her lately and Uma could not for the life of her figure out why. She hadn't even seen Harry in a good month so what the fuck could her problem be?
The sea witch just wanted to go to her room and sleep all afternoon. Now that she thought about it, that was exactly what she planned to do as she unlocked the door to her room. She picked up her bags off the hallway floor and went inside, shutting and locking the door behind herself.
Uma sighed, leaning against the door, before walking further into her room.
"Yu've been avoidin' me, Captain?"
Uma froze, looking over to find Harry sitting at her roommates desk, legs propped up in true villain fashion,"You're not supposed to be in here", she said, waving her hand dismissively, moving over to her bed. Uma was not in the mood for this, today was hard enough. Still apart of her was glad to see him, to know he was okay.
"Ah'm not supposed ta' do a lot of things", he swung around her bed post, both hands gripping the beds canopy over her head. Uma jumped, she hadn't even heard him coming, "but ah'd keep it up if it meant findin' out what's goin' on wit mah Captain"
That was the last thing she wanted to hear.
Uma rolled her eyes, moving from under him, "I'm not your damn Captain; not since we left the Isles." It was true. Once they'd left the Isles, her crew disbanded, the others decided there was no need for a crew other than a means to survive. Seeing as there was no need for survival, they drifted. Fuck family, right? For a time it was just Uma, Harry and Gil, then when Aquamarine came, it was Uma and Gil, and soon school activities and Jay had taken Gil as well. Uma was all alone.
Harry frowned at her words and Uma was suddenly uncomfortable under his gaze. She climbed in her bed, pushing back her hair with a dreaded sigh,"You shouldn't be here, you need to go find Aquamarine", She said pulling her assignments from her backpack. She had homework and she wasn't gonna let Harry get in the way of that.
Uma had continued to ignore his presence, opening her textbook and clipboard. She had heard a growl and before she knew it her books were snatched out of her hands and thrown across the room.
"Is that wit' this is all about!?", Harry asked, his voice suddenly raising. This was why she had basically removed herself from his life?!
"What do you think it is?!", she snapped before correcting herself,"She's not gonna like you being here", she said softly, shaking her head. Of all days for this to happen, it was today? Could it have been any other day when she hadn't felt this particularly awful about herself?
Harry sighed, the bed dipping where he sat. It was silent for a moment before he spoke,"We broke up a week ago"
That explained why she had been more aggressive lately. She probably thought Uma had caused their separation. He'll she probably did. Uma was always good for ruining everything she came in contact with. Including lives as well. As hard as Uma tried to process the information, her self-esteem would not allow it. She shook her head, finally responding,"Doesn't matter", the girl brushed off, sliding off her bed. She needed to get away from him,"Aquamarine was still right"
"Wit du' ye mean?", the sea witch bit the inside of her mouth, turning away to avoid his gaze,"Wit did that twat say to you!?", he demanded pulling her back to him.
Uma turned around yanking her hand from his, her navy blue hair swing behind her,"She didn't at anything that wasn't already true", she muttered moving over to the window, crossing her arms over her chest. "I'm not good...I'm not good for you, I'm bad news- 'an embarrassment to Auradon' ", she quoted, wiping away a tear. It still hurt.
"All...all I do is drag people down and I don't wanna do that to you guys", Uma didn't even flinch when she was pulled into warm arms, a hand on the back of her head. Harry carried her over to her bed, sitting against the headboard with her still pulled close. He kisses her cheek gently, wiping away her tears with a grin.
They just stayed like that, holding each other close. Neither were very good at talking about their feelings, but they knew how to communicate in other ways. This was all they needed for now. Harry watched as the sun began to set outside the window.
"Dinnea leave me a'gain", he threatened, hands carding through her dark hair. His words held no venom as he spoke, but Uma heard the longing in his voice.
Uma lifted her head, smiling at the brunette, "Never again, I promise"
