Public
For our first public appearance, balcony or not, I'll kiss you way more than twice. Just saying.
"Harry,"
"Yes?" He tried to sound completely calm, hoping that maybe it would rub off on her.
"Are you nervous?"
"Why would I be nervous? Nothing big is happening, is there?"
"I'm being serious, Harry," She had to sit on the hand that wasn't holding the phone, to stop herself pulling at her eyelashes. She always did it when she was nervous; she always had done.
"Niks," He wasn't really sure if they were meant to be on the phone; wasn't having no contact the whole point of not being allowed to see each other? "Of course I am."
"Me too."
"But not because I think I'm doing the wrong thing." It was awkward, really. Usually he wouldn't have to talk her through things like this; he'd just hug her, and stroke her hair, and make a joke, and then she'd understand everything. He didn't like talking about the important stuff. "I know I'm doing the right thing. I'm just scared I'll forget my lines, or I'll stand on your dress when we're dancing, or I'll fall head first into the cake." He had a feeling that between the two of them, it would be a miracle if they managed to keep their clumsiness under control for an entire day.
"You just have to repeat whatever the priest says, how hard can it be?" The question was direct at herself, as much as to him.
"Easy peasy."
"Lemon squeezy."
"Exactly."
"How many times will you kiss me?"
"What?"
"How many times will you kiss me?"
"I...when?"
"Tomorrow,"
"I hadn't really planned it out. Why?"
"I just wanted to have everything planned out."
"I'll kiss you as many times as you want me to,"
"Can you try not to smudge my lipstick?" He chuckled, knowing that if he managed to, she'd spend at least half an hour in the toilet trying to fix it before she allowed anyone to take photos.
"I'll see you tomorrow,"
"Night." She was the first to hang up; if she hadn't, she knew they'd manage to end up speaking until past one, and there was no way Harry would be able to wake up at 7 on a Sunday to get ready, if he hadn't had 8 hours sleep, even if it was his wedding day.
