	Nell stumbled, sure he hadn't heard the man correctly, but there was no getting back into the dance now. He stood, trembling, unsure what to say or do. "You love me?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Harry nodded, taking Nell's hand and moving the boy to the safety that the sides of the room offered, not wanting any of the dances to collide with the young man. "I love you." He repeated, "And I've been trying to let you know but you always seemed to... to misunderstand me." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Harry! It's not hard to misunderstand you. You talk about getting married, you have all these women - Miss Ashford comes to your house often- you tell everyone I'm your ward." Nell hissed. "I am...what I do for you, because you told me to, my job...I think my misunderstanding would be quite an obvious one to make" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I... I thought you knew that I was trying to set us up, put us in a position where you'd always been looked after." Harry explains, reaching for Nell's other free hand, stroking over the back of the boy's hands with his finger tips. "What was I meant to tell everyone? That I was your pimp? That would hardly go down well here, would it?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I didn't, Harry." He whispered. "And no, no you couldn't say." Nell bit his lip, glancing around the ballroom. He couldn't think why Harry had chosen now to tell him now, here of all places surrounded by people who could overhear them. "I love you too." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Harry smiled, wider then he had in a long time, and leaned forwards, pressing a quick kiss to Nell's mouth. "I was always afraid you didn't." He admitted. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Why would you think that?" Nell asked softly, smiling at Harry. "I've always been mad over you." He paused, something worrying him at the back of his mind. "Harry, I just...please tell me you don't just love me because Georgie is dead." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	social_climber 2008-08-14 04:30 pm UTC (link)
	"Georgie?" Harry repeated, shaking his head. "You aren't anything like Georgie, Nell. I love you because of who you are, not because of anything else." He told the boy, letting go of one of his hands to stroke his knuckles over the boy's cheek. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Thank you." Nell whispered, still unable to quite believe what Harry had told him, and still fearful they were being to open to do Harry's chances any good. "I just wanted to hear you say that. I love you so much, Harry." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Harry smiled again, nuzzling slightly into the boy's neck, kissing him again. "We should go home. I need to talk to you, privately..." He told the boy. "About everything. I..." He didn't know where to go on from. He needed to tell Nell how long he had felt this way, the idiotic jealousies that plagued him, the way he needed Nell to understand everything that drove Harry to do what he did.

	"If you think we should," Nell said, more than ready to leave. This whole night had been one strange moment after another and he was more than willing to go home and have Harry explain everything to him finally. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The man nodded, offering Nell his hand. "Let's go home then, and we'll talk. I think we've both done enough work here for one night." (Reply to this) (Parent)
