The Summer '09 (boy x boy)

(Chapter 3) - Departure

Harry

My eyes flew open as the annoying sound of buzzing woke me up. Slowly, my hands found my iPhone and groggily, my eyes scanned the possibility on why it might ring. "Louis." was the only thing written on it. A gasp escaped my throat at the time. I was supposed to be awake half an hour ago because of the flight.. so why? "Haz" Niall called out from the threshold with an amused smile on his face. "No worries, it was my fault.. I just didn't want you to wake up early.. so.."  anger filled me and I was about to snap at him, but he held up a hand to stop me. "Haz, just go get showered.. I already got everything set up, and the cab is waiting for both of us downstairs.. Just go take a shower.. yeah?" he beamed while I hopped off of the bed, and gave him a peck on the cheeks. "Thanks Ni!" I called out cheerfully as I got the water running.

"Just hurry lad!" he reminded faintly from the closed bathroom doors. The smile never left my face. I'm finally going to see Louis again.

Niall

I held on to the inflamed spot where Harry's plump pink lips mildly touched my cheek. The sensation felt almost too unreal to behold. My heart beated out of my rib cage like the usual, and he knew nothing of it, let alone even care about my feelings. S'not that he hasn't tried.. I knew he did.. But what can he do? He can't just force himself to love me when he clearly loved someone else.. That's just definitely wrong.. "Niall, you okay mate?" he cooed while patting my head so that he can ruffle my hair. I groaned slightly, and swatted on his hands while huffing fakely. "M'fine.." I slurred. "Just go get dress Baby Tarzan." I teased as he rolled his eyes at the little nickname and running his little bum off to his dresser; opening it with widened eyes in realization, that none of his clothes were there.

"Niall I--" I snorted and handed him the right clothing that I though he might wear. I never could really tell him how I've had a little inner debate with myself which colour of boxers he should wear, cause I knew that he would throw a fit, and just ignore me for the whole day for doing such an embarrassing thing on such a small decision.. Ah.. someone sue for being so picky...!!! "Alright done!" he beamed slightly as he carefully analyzed me. I smacked my forehead trying to re-focus myself, and mirrored the same expression while tugging both our awaiting coats by the couch.

"Let's go Haz.. We have roughly about an hour and a half before the flight!" I chuckled while throwing his coat at him; he caught it no problem. Without knowing it, the boy slammed into me once more, and engulfed me into a warm hug that can be easily seen as a friendly hug and nothing more.. Great... "Niall, I'd really like to thank you for all--" I pushed his lips away making his sentence muffled and incoherent. "Save all the flattery for later Styles.. We have a plain to catch!"

"Alright.. Terminal 5A.." I nodded to Harry while the driver helped take out our luggages. My hands flew to my pocket, but Harry already had a wad of cash at hand, and handed it quickly to the driver. The man widened his eyes at the cash as he stared at Harry in disbelief. I half-snorted. That boy was always the show-off in high school.. Somehow I already knew from that time that he'd inherit the whole world one day.. and whoop-dee-doo, he owns one of the biggest law firm in the whole UK area. I doubt anyone could even forget the things he's done for the needy, and charities in the area.. Too bad none of them knew how he really was.. Behind all that plastered, boy-charming smiles, was a broken boy who couldn't love.. who couldn't feel in general.. Somehow I felt a little smug for knowing such things.. is it bad to hold onto such things for comfort?

Harry

As we rushed through the airport, I noticed Niall was just brushing alongside me. Like he literally just followed my every step, and it's beginning to worry me. My eyes scanned the halls for 5A, and almost cheered in joy that I found it. Niall unknowingly walked passed me and headed for the destination also, forgetting that I was a passenger also, and we were both going.. but what can I do? He looked like he was in such a deep thought that I doubt he'd notice until I smack him flat in the face, and the searing pain would bring him back... Oh well.. I guess there was only one thing that can bring him back in these situations...

Niall

I snapped out of my thoughts when I felt something block my mouth hole, and I almost gawked that Harry shoved a Big mac burger in my mouth that I nearly choked.. "Why did you do that?" I snapped half-angrily. He shrugged with a big smile on his face, and leaned back with a neck pillow wrapped snuggly on the nape of his neck. "Just wanted to know why you were thinking so hard Nialler.." he confessed silently as he stared at me for confirmation. I blushed scarlet, and huffed silently while taking big, scrumptious bites at the burger. I pouted when I finished it, but Harry chuckled beside me while giving me another heaping serving. Protest was literally in the tip of my tongue, but he smirked, and showed the big bag of burgers by his side.

"Knew you would starve, so .. Yeah.. I just need two of these and a drink, and I'm fine." he confessed as he took out another burger, and took a sip of his apple juice while he handed me the whole bag. My eyes widened in surprised as I counted what was in here. There wasn't only burgers, but five-inch meatball subs, and other desserts in the very bottom. My tears glistened, and my mouth watered by the very sight. I straddled into his lap and gave him big sloppy kisses on his temples; which he swiped in an insant with the look of amusement and disgust in his eyes. I could feel the disdain expressions the people around us threw, but when did I care about what people think. "You always know me best!" I stated hungrily while biting on my fifth burger, not caring even the slightest  how much I've eaten. Yep, I'm sleeping soundly tonight..

Harry

In an hour or two later, the flight was arrived. Niall and I hauled our luggages within the plane. Some staff offered to help since we were first class and all, but I waved them away. We could very much handle ourselves in this situation no problem. "1D.. 1D.. Bloody hell.." I murmured as I took a look at my ticket. Why was 1D everywhere I go? Was it really coincidence that we were going to London? Probably not.

"Oi Niall, do you see this?" I showed him my ticket, and he couldn't help but snort in the process. "Yeah mate, I see it.. Coincidence?" he cocked an eyebrow as he took a seat beside me. "I donno.. maybe." I shrugged not knowing the difference at all. My eyes flew to my watch and saw that it was night time. I didn't need to remind Niall about it seeing as he slept soundly within the flight. My eyes closed abruptly, and the thoughts of Louis filled my mind once again.. "I'm finally going to see him again." I mused as the darkness overtook me. Sleep felt natural at the moment, and frankly I'd rather have that than be bored awake.

Niall

I gave a little stretch as the pilot announced our arrival to London. My eyes flew to Harry who was silently snoring (understatement) right beside me with his neck-pillow. I could wake him up, or I could just stare.. Which one should I do?! "Liking the view Nialler?" he asked in a deep gravelly voice. "Uh.. no.. I was just about to wake you up.." I stuttered out with blood flourishing to my cheeks. How can he tell that I was staring? "Because you made it obvious." he smirked as his green orbs finally fluttered open. I turned my head away to avoid his burning gaze, and discovered that he wasn't looking at me, but at the screen on his iPad.

Without even checking, I clearly knew he was looking at his boyfriend. A pang of jealousy arose at the pit of my stomach as I tried simmering the pain. Why was it that he had to fall in love with Louis first and not me? It just made no absolute sense. "Niall, I really am sorry.." at this I looked back at him. "Like I said.. If I'd met you first.. I--" "We have landed at Central London at 9 am in the morning, temperature mildly 20° with a slight rain heading in our way. We hope you enjoyed your ride with Hearthrow Airlines, and we hope to serve you again." All of a sudden, everyone got up their seats while tugging on their luggage; including Harry.

I didn't bother him at all about the rest of the things he was going to say next because I knew in the back of my mind that he will say "I for sure would've fallen for you.." out of pure and utter pity, and he doesn't even know how much I hated it when he said that.
