Ted has woken up in many weird places. Since he was a party lover most of his nights while he was attending university were filled with partying with strangers and his morning had started from barns to park benches. So all in all he wasn't a stranger to waking up somewhere that wasn't his home. What surprised him was the fact that he was fully dressed in clothes he was certain that weren't his and the silk sheets of the warm bed he was laying in. when he got up from the bed the pants on him almost fell to his ankles and the collar of the shirt was to wide and was showing most of his right shoulder. After stretching and looking around where he was suddenly hit him.
He knew the soft sheets, the maroon colored walls, the big window showing central park. He had been here before and that was when last night's events came back to him. He gasped and his arms instinctively warped around himself. With a prominent blush he decided to venture out of the room in search of his host. He walked down the familiar hallway filled with black and white picture of the streets of New York and walked into the living room.
"You're up" said a voice from behind him. He turned around to see harry with only a towel around his waist and another one in his hand which he was using to dry his hair. Ted bit his lower lip when he felt a familiar ach between his legs. He didn't want to make the other man uncomfortable. He had taken care of him at his lowest the night before and had also turned him proposal of an arrangement between them down.
"Y-yeah. Thank you f-for last night" ted stuttered out
"It's nothing. I did what anyone in my position would do" harry replied ted didn't know what to say so he just silently nodded.
"I'm going to go get dressed. Help yourself to whatever you want" harry said softly after giving him a calculating look and then disappeared down the hallway.ted stood there looking at the place harry was standing thinking. He knew he should leave but he couldn't make himself do it. He didn't want to leave harry's place without clearing what happened the night before and even if he was sure he would be tempted to throw himself at the other man he swore that he wouldn't make any more advances if harry himself doesn't show interest.
When harry walked out of his room and back to the living room he wasn't expecting to find the platinum haired man to be standing in the same place he had left him. He also wasn't ready to see the lost and helpless look on his face. Everyone knew harry didn't do emotions. If someone or something started making him feel he did what he always did. He ran. But he was in his own home and he knew he couldn't just open the door and walk out after bringing the man here.
"Are you okay?" harry asked not really sure what he would say if ted said no. he only had interest in things that benefited him and the answer to the question didn't really qualify. It was more of a curtsy to harry.
"y-yeah, just haven't fully woken up yet" ted replied pulling on a forced smile. Harry breathed out a sigh of relief for the answer
"I could make you coffee" harry said walking into he kitchen
"Thanks" ted replied softly following harry
After harry made the coffee he poured them both a cup and started making breakfast. There was a tense silence in the air. Both had things on their minds and wasn't really comfortable with the other being in a close proximity after what happened the night before both at work and at the bar.
"I was thinking..."
"About last night..."
Both started to speak at the same time and stopped. The tight of pink on Ted's cheeks darkened and harry rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly.
"Go ahead..."
"What were you...?"
Again they started to speak at the same time. Both down casted their eyes and the awkwardness in the air thickened. Harry plated the eggs and bacon he made and sat down in front of the platinum haired man.
"What is it?" harry asked
"You go ahead first" ted replied shyly looking down
"I just wanted to say....I am sorry for yesterday in the office. I didn't mean to shout. I have a hot temper and I'm working on controlling it. It won't happen again" harry said not moving his eyes from the plate in front of him.
"Oh...okay. I'm sorry too for threatening to fire you. Your one of the best lawyers in the firm. I'd be a fool to let you go" ted said softly harry felt eyes on him and looked up. Ted was looking at him in such a way that brought up bad memories and harry quickly got up.
"You should shower you still smell like alcohol. If you want pain killers there in my bedside drawer" harry said and picked up his untouched plate of food and dumped it in the trash. Ted sighed and stood up.
"Is it always going to be weird between us?" ted asked. Harry froze where he was
"I hope not. I don't want to feel awkward when I come to work. I love what I do" harry said turning towards him.
"It still feels awkward though doesn't it?" ted asked again
"It does but it will get better...I hope" harry added the last part softly
"Do...do you have somewhere to be today?" ted asked his eyes shining with mischief. Harry stepped back feeling the sudden change in the other's Demeter
"No?" harry replied
"Then put something comfortable on. I have something to show you" ted said and skipped to the shower leaving the other confused
