“Do you have any way of getting home?” Niall frowned and shook his head. “Come on then”.

“W-where are we going?” Harry smiled and grabbed Niall’s wrist, pulling him to the car. 

“My place”. As much as Niall thought about protesting, he didn't want to let Harry go again. He can’t lose sight of Harry. Not ever. The car was silent as Harry drove home. Niall couldn't think of anything appropriate to say and neither could Harry. Niall was still completely in love with Harry but he continued to question wether Harry still feels the same. If he didn't then that would just be awkward and a situation Niall doesn't want to be in. “How’ve you been?” Niall was far too deep in his thoughts to hear Harry ask him the question as he stared down at his fingers with a small frown. “Niall?” Harry nervously glanced at Niall with worried eyes. Still, Harry got zero response or sign that Niall was listening and he sighed. 

As they walked into the house, it was dead silent which wasn't normal but harry didn't even pay attention to it. He didn't notice how Daniel wasn't home, which was definitely not normal. Daniel never left the house really. But Daniel wasn't something he could think about right now. Niall was the only person that existed right at that moment. They walked into the kitchen and Niall stood awkwardly. “You can sit down”. Harry motioned to the chairs that were at the bench and Niall took a seat. “Would you like a drink?” Niall nodded but the small frown didn't leave his face. “Ah, we have water, orange juice and coke?” Niall I’m gonna need you to talk to me. I can’t read your mind”. Harry was just about to yell in frustration but stopped as Niall spoke. 

“Was it you?” Harry frowned and put the bottle of coke down. 

“I’m sorry?” Niall kept his gaze on his hands as he fiddled with his fingers. 

“Are you the one that got me arrested?” Harry felt speechless as Niall looked up to him with sad eyes and began to feel guilty. He sighed and nodded. 

“I’m sorry. It’s my job”.

“So you thought it was me who was doing it?”

“Well no…”

“But you took me in for questioning?”

“I…” Harry was lost for words. 

“Right”. Niall nodded and stood up, turning to walk away.

“Where are you going?” Niall closed his eyes tightly and took a deep breath. If he left now, he could never see Harry again. But, if he stayed, he’d feel cheated on. But should he really feel that annoyed and betrayed? Harry was only doing his job. “I’m sorry. As soon as he asked you I could see you didn't do it. I know you didn’t. I’m sorry I ever assumed you would but I guess…I guess maybe a part of me wanted to see you again”. Harry nervously fiddled with his fingers. “Please don't go”. Niall turned around and nodded shyly. 

“Coke would be nice”. Niall sat back down and Harry poured the drink. “So, how’ve you been?” Harry handed him his drink and stood across from him, leaning on the bench. 

“Good”. He nodded. “You?”

“Y-yeah”. Niall nodded slightly, trying to pull a fake smile. “Good”. He hated lying through his teeth. Especially to Harry. But if Harry had been happy now, he coldly ruin it for his own selfishness. It wasn't that hard to lie anyway. 

“That’s good”. Harry smiled. “How is Theo? He must be..what? Like six or seven now?” Niall smiled and nodded. 

“Yeah he's six. He’s good”. Harrys small smiled turned to a frown. 

“Niall…ah is…um…is Nancy-” Harry was cut off from the sound of the front door opening and shutting. Daniel walked into the room, smiling at Harry but frowning as he spotted Niall. 

“Who’s this?” Niall looked back at Harry with confusion. 

“Where were you?” Daniel walked closer to Harry and kissed him softly. Niall felt his heart shatter as he watched the sight of Harry kissing another boy. It hurt like hell. 

“You’re home early Haz”. Niall snapped out of his pained expression and composed himself. Harry looked back to Niall and pushed Daniel away slightly. 

“Daniel, this is Niall”. Daniel held his hand out in front of Niall, but Niall just stared at it. He didn't want to touch Daniel. He just wanted to get out of there. Daniel noticed that Niall wasn't going to return the friendly gesture and let his hand fall back to his side. 

“I-I should go”. 

“No! Please don't go!” Daniel frowned as Harry rushed desperately after Niall. 

“Harry, I really should go home”.

“No! You can stay in the guest room”. Niall didn't want to stay in the house with them. He didn't want to see them kissing and hugging all night. He was close to bursting into tears and he didn't want Harry to know or see him like that.

“Please Harry. Just let me go”. His eyes watered and he knew Harry could tell but he wasn't having it. 

“I’m not letting you walk in the cold snow with just a hoodie. You’re staying here and that’s final”. Niall wanted to cry and scream for Harry making him stay and witness his love and affection towards another man. One that wasn't Niall. But he felt too weak to protest. Niall felt as though he had seen Daniel before. He couldn't pinpoint where exactly but he just looked so familiar. 

“Harry, babe, why are you home from work so early?” Daniel came up behind him and wrapped his arms around Harry’s waist. 

“I left early”. Harry stepped away, turning to face him. “Why weren’t you here?”

“I was out”. 

“Out where?” Daniel rolled his eyes.

“Out. What’s with the questions Harry?”

“I-I…w-where is the room?” Harry led Niall to the spare room and Niall nodded. “Thank y-you”. Niall quickly closed the door before he broke down in front of Harry, whom frowned at how quickly Niall closed the door but made his way back to Daniel. Niall sat on the bed and grabbed his phone, his lock screen lighting up with a photo he and Harry took before they broke up and let the tears fall. He was hurting so much. Seeing Harry with someone else that made his chest unbearably burn.

“Niall? Where are you?” Niall let out sobs  and small whimpers, unable to form words.

“G-Greg”.

“I got home and you weren't here! I’ve bee so worried!”

“I-I’m sorry I..”

“Shh Niall don't say sorry. Where are you?” Niall whimpered.

“I-I’m at Harry’s”.

“Oh..well that’s goo-”

“He has a boyfriend Greg”. The line went silent and Niall continued to let out soft cries. 

While Niall sat alone in the guest room, Daniel glared at Harry with his arms crossed over his chest.

“Who is that freak?” Harry frowned.

“He’s not a freak”. Daniel scoffed and rolled his eyes.

“He is. What’s he doing here?” Harry huffed. 

“He’s an old friend”.

“And he’s here why?” Harry rolled his eyes. 

“It’s just for the night Daniel”.

“I don't want that freak in our house!” Harry scoffed and shook his head in disappointment. He could hear Niall crying and he turned. “Where are you going?”

“To comfort the freak”. Harry walked over to the door and knocked lightly. “Niall?” He waited for a response but got nothing. 

“He has a boyfriend Greg!” Harry frowned. “They kissed and they were h-hugging I…it hurts”. Harry rested his head on the wooden door. “I couldn't tell him Greg. I couldn't admit how hurt I’ve been. I couldn't tell him how I haven’t been coping. I just lied through my teeth and told him I’ve been good. I just don’t know what to do”. Harry didn't know what to do. Hearing Niall say how hurt he’s been only made him want to cry. While he was with Daniel, Niall was alone and heartbroken. All this time. “I hate lying to him. But he’s happy now. That’s what I wanted, right?” Harry hovered his hand over the handle. “Yeah. I still love him. Okay, I’ll see you tomorrow. Bye”. Harry waited a few minutes as he let all of Niall’s words sink in and slowly opened the door. Niall looked up at him with wide eyes as Harry closed the door behind him and quietly walked over to sit next to Niall on the bed. He lightly ran his thumb under Niall’s eyes to wipe the tears away.

“Oh Niall”. Harry moved closer. 

“You heard all that. Didn’t you?” Harry nodded shyly. 

“But it’s okay. It’s all okay”. Niall frowned and watched Harry with curious eyes. Harry smiled slightly and leaned in, moving closer and closer to Niall until their lips touched.
