Harry Styles-Wilson: Hockey Husband [Sequel to Harry Who?] (Completed)

Harry was not sure how Ellie would feel about this. “Are you sure?” He asked, and the PR representative from his team nodded.

“It’s Valentine’s Day, and people would love to see it - if you’re okay sharing it, of course.” They explained, and Harry thought about it a bit more before nodding and parting ways. As he returned to their hotel room, he tried to think of the best way to bring this up to Ellie. Should he ask her, or just tell her he’s going to do it?

No, he thought as he shook his head, he has to ask her. They’re in this together now, and he didn’t want to ruin their first Valentine’s Day together as a married couple by doing something she wouldn’t want.

“Harry!” Ellie jumped up and ran over to him with a big smile when he returned. “There you are; I woke up and you were gone.” She gave him a kiss and returned to the table where breakfast was waiting.

“I woke up early, and headed to the gym for a bit.” Harry sat down and inspected the food with curiosity.

“Local food,” Ellie explained. “I figured we should try some while we’re here.”

Harry nodded. “That’s a good idea. So, it’s Valentine’s Day,” he paused, and Ellie smiled brightly again.

“Yes! I’m excited! I know we already exchanged gifts - well, kinda,” she laughed, since the tattoo she had gotten for him was still on her hip, and they wouldn’t be exchanging either of the gifts they’d gotten for each other. “But, I still want today to be special. Did you have anything planned?”

Harry thought for a moment, thrown off course by her question. “Maybe, um, like dinner?”

“Dinner would be nice, I don’t know if you want to go out or not.” What Ellie really meant was, can he go out - just the two of them. At each Olympic event, they’d been accompanied by a security guard who kept a respective distance, and if they went out with any of Ellie’s teammates, the crowd they were with usually didn’t notice or care that he was there. But if they went out on their own, somewhere away from the Olympics, they (he) might get noticed.

“I have had my eye on a place, actually,” Harry answered, and the start of a smirk formed on his lips. “You know the song ‘Gangnam Style’?”

“I don’t live under a rock, Harry,” Ellie teased.

“Well, you didn’t know who I was when we met,” he retorted, and smiled teasingly.

“I’m still not entirely sure who you are…” Ellie joked, but Harry’s smile wavered, and his eyes lost a bit of their glimmer. “Oh...too soon?” Ellie’s smile melted when she realized why Harry reacted that way.

Harry didn’t think he’d ever forget the look in her eyes - the lack of recognition - as she looked up at him in the ambulance after hitting her head during a game, and with blank eyes asked ‘Harry who?’ But he wasn’t going to let that ruin their day, so he shook his head and forced a smile. “No, you’re here now,” he reached over to place a hand on the side of her face and tapped her temple with his index finger. “Well, mostly,” he teased, and ran his thumb across her cheekbone before removing his hand.

“Very funny,” Ellie said sarcastically. “So, anyway, you want to have a Gangnam style Valentine’s Day?” Ellie was confused.

“Kind of,” Harry laughed. “It’s actually an area in Seoul, and I thought it would be fun to spend the day there.”

“It would be nice to see other parts of South Korea while we’re here.” Ellie agreed.

“We could be tourists,” Harry smiled, and added, “together.”

“So, you can go out like a regular person?” Ellie asked.

“I’ll wear a hat,” Harry shrugged.

“Not that hat you always wear - everyone recognizes you in that.”

“I don’t have any other hats with me.”

“I’m sure we can find someplace that sells hats.”

“Oh, you just want to go shopping,” Harry laughed.

“We can shop, but first you need a hat.”

“Okay, fine,” Harry agreed. “But we need to leave soon; it’ll take a while to get there.”

Harry took a nap on the train while Ellie did a bit of research into where they were going. Harry had a restaurant picked out for dinner - someplace a friend had recommended - but he wouldn’t say what it was. This made her a little curious, but she knew Harry liked to surprise her. As promised, their first stop was to buy Harry a hat. They had a harder time than Ellie thought they should deciding on a hat that would properly disguise Harry’s identity.

“That will draw more attention than if I weren’t wearing one,” he said at the hat she suggested, and hoped she was joking.

“Okay, what about this?” Ellie held up another.

“I think that’s a woman’s hat…” Harry tilted his head to inspect, but he was sure this hat was intended for the opposite gender.

“This one’s pretty plain looking.” She grabbed one off a lower shelf.

“I don’t really wear baseball caps.” Harry shook his head.

“Exactly,” Ellie placed it on his head, and turned him toward the mirror so he could see how inconspicuous he looked.

“I guess,” Harry turned his head to view it from other angles. “I could manage. Just for today, though.”

Ellie laughed at his reluctance, and the two purchased the hat so Harry could remain anonymous. Harry was cautious at first, but no one seemed to recognize him, or if they did they were polite and left him alone. They spent the day shopping and exploring, being tourists and taking cute selfies. As evening neared, Harry suggested Ellie buy something nice to wear to dinner that night.

“But I don’t know where we’re going?” She protested.

“I’ll help you pick it out,” he smirked.

Ellie shrugged, but honestly she thought Harry was better at picking out her clothes than she was, so she let him find a couple of outfits for her to try on.

“Harry, it’s a bit too cold for a dress that short,” she shook her head at his first suggestion.

“Then, we’ll match it with some tall boots or something?” He suggested.

“Or, I could wear pants, because it’s winter, and very cold out?” Ellie countered, and Harry acquiesced. The next outfit consisted of a one-piece halter, with a jacket. “This is better,” she took the outfit into the dressing room to try it on. It looked nice, but there was just one tiny issue.

“That looks hot, what’s wrong?” Harry asked when he noticed Ellie’s reluctance to show off the entire outfit.

“Well, um, this is a little tighter in the back than the jeans I was wearing and, um, you can see the,” Ellie paused, and whispered, “panty line.”

“Oh, I get it,” Harry grinned, but Ellie blushed. “So, we need to find the Korean equivalent of Victoria's Secret.”

“If I’m going to wear this, definitely. I’ll need a different bra too.” Ellie explained, and slipped back into the dressing room to change.

“Well, I guess Valentine’s Day is as good as any to buy lingerie for my wife,” Harry replied and smirked to himself as he waited for her.

“Nothing scandalous, though,” Ellie gave him a look as she exited the dressing room. “It still has to be, you know, functional.”

Harry laughed to himself all the way to the next store, and Ellie wondered if he’d planned this somehow. He again had some impractical suggestions, which Ellie declined, before settling on a comfortable yet sexy matching lace set.

“This is acceptable,” Ellie looked it over and checked the size. When she looked up, Harry had already picked out a few more things for her.

“For later,” he smirked, and Ellie blushed.

“Fine, but let’s get out of here before you buy anything else.” Ellie laughed.

While Ellie changed into her new outfit, Harry got one more item for her to wear.

“You look absolutely stunning,” Harry gawked as she emerged, and spun to show it off. “But I think it needs one more thing…” He reached into his pocket and pulled out a jewelry box.

“Harry, what’s this?” She looked down at the necklace in the black box he was holding.

“Well, they say diamonds are a girl’s best friend, but according to Anne of Green Gables, amethysts are the most romantic, and ‘diamonds pale in comparison’,” he quoted Anne, and took the amethyst necklace out of the box. “Shall I?”

Ellie held up her hair for him, and he carefully clasped the necklace around her neck. She couldn’t believe he still carried around that copy of ‘Anne of Green Gables’ he’d bought at her book store when they first met, and that he’d read it enough to be able to quote it. “This is beautiful,” she said as she admired her reflection in the mirror. “Thank you so much, Harry.” She leaned over to kiss him.

“Anything for you, luv,” he smiled back at her. “We had better leave soon, or we’ll miss our reservation.”

Ellie somehow doubted they would give up his reservation, but didn’t complain. She was eager to find out where they were going, and was not disappointed once they’d arrived.

“How did you pick this place, again?” Ellie asked as she looked around at the restaurant’s unique decor, taking in the atmosphere.

“It was recommended to me,” Harry replied. “By Ed Sheeran.”

“Ed? Really?” Ellie looked back at him with raised eyebrows. “Does he come here often?”

“Not sure, but I guess he and Psy are friends, and he recommended this place.” Harry explained.

“Well I like it, so thanks Ed, or, Psy, I guess,” Ellie shrugged. “Did you speak with Ed recently?”

“Yes, this morning, actually, I, uh…” Harry realized he never talked to Ellie about that thing his PR person had suggested, and he cleared his throat as he thought of how to bring it up. “Um, actually, I called him to see if it was okay if I posted a video with him in it.”

“Oh?” Ellie was confused.

“Yes, it’s, umm…” Harry pulled out his phone and opened the short video his PR team had edited and hoped he would post today. He slid it over to Ellie for her to watch.

It started out a little blurry, then focused on Ellie and Harry, and Ed was in the background with his guitar, singing ‘their song’ - “Thinking Out Loud”. Ellie’s back was to the camera for most of the video, which gave a clear view of Harry’s face, with happy tears streaming down his cheeks. The video ended with Ellie leaning back to look at him, and laughing with Harry as she wiped his cheeks dry.

Harry studied Ellie’s reaction as she watched the video. The corners of her mouth quivered, and she looked like she might smile, or maybe cry, but she didn’t look angry at all. She finally blinked a few times before looking up and handing his phone back.

“You were going to post this?” She asked.

“Yeah, on instagram, twitter, wherever.” He shrugged, and added, “if it’s okay with you, of course.” He could tell she was contemplating this, and let her think without interrupting.

“It’s our wedding though. That’s our first dance,” she started.

“We don’t have to keep it a secret anymore,” Harry reached over and held her hand. “I know it was a private moment for us, but I want to share with everyone how beautiful you looked that day, and tell them how much I love you.”

Ellie seemed to take this all in slowly, and suddenly laughed. “Or, you want to show off that stunning suit you wore,” she teased.

“You sound like my sister,” he jokingly added with a pout.

“Did she say that too?” Ellie laughed.

“Yes, at Christmas, remember?”

“Oh, right, and then you pretty much offered to sing ‘Sweet Creature’ at her wedding,” Ellie recalled that night, and they both got quiet for a moment. “That would be lovely.”

“Though, as Gemma said, I’d probably ruin it by crying.” Harry scoffed, but he knew his sister was right.

“You just have a big heart, that’s all.” Ellie smiled.

“A big heart, is that all?” He grinned.

“Harry, don’t be naughty,” Ellie gave him a scolding smile. “What’s gotten into you?”

“I’m just eager to get home and try out those other outfits I bought you today,” he explained with a sly smile.

“This is going to be a long night,” Ellie sighed, but smiled.

“I hope so,” Harry winked.

Notes

I know nothing of South Korea’s geography except from what I quickly read on wikipedia, so I hope I didn’t get anything wrong! I recall an interview with Ed Sheeran where he told a story about going drinking with Psy, so I think they’re friends? But again, I could be wrong! It fit with the story, and it seemed like something fun for them to do for Valentine’s Day.

I hope you all had a lovely holiday season, and have a happy new year!

Thank you for reading, voting, commenting!!! : D

ps. Just curious, how do you like the story so far? I have plans for later chapters, but for now I'm kind of making it up as I go!
