A café in London

The Morning

I woke up after an amazing sleep in Harry's arms. Or I thought they were his arms...

"Morning gorgeous!" I rolled over and saw Harry on his laptop. I sat up, noticing I was completely naked, and covered myself. I looked at what I was lying in.

"Did you the massive bear in your bed with me!" I face planted into the fluffy body of the mammal.

"Yeah, I had some stuff to do and didn't want you to wake up without your arms around something." He pointed to a coffee, and folded beside it was the top he gave me last night and a pair of his shorts. I drank the coffee in bed, completely smothered by the bears floof. Once I was done I pulled on the clothes and hugged Harry from behind while he was working. It looked like he was just online.

"What are you doing?" I asked curiously.

"I'm doing some replying to fans and sending some stuff around on my socials." He was typing away on twitter and was switching between Instagram, twitter and YouTube.

"Ahh alright," I tapped his shoulders, "Ok I'm going to make pancakes. Come through in about 15 minutes."

He kissed me on the cheek and I walked into the kitchen where Callux was sitting at the island.

"Morning bunny." He winked at me.

"Oh shut up!" I shoved him a little.

"Nahh nahh you two were GOING AT IT!" He made a few inappropriate gestures and I chucked a sponge at him.

"I'm making you breakfast so relax on the jokes yeah?" I put the middle finger up at him and he went back to typing and doing stuff on his computer.

"No problem."

"So what is it that you even do on social media? Harry was doing stuff when I woke up but I have no idea what he is doing?" I asked while I sought out ingredients.

"We have to keep up with what's going on. We have to have an active social media presence and so we don't seem ungrateful towards our fans we have to be insanely happy all the time and show our appreciation for them." He tapped on his laptop. He seemed very invested in what he was doing.

"Oh really? It sounds stressful tackling it alone."

"Even if you do have someone to deal with it with like a girlfriend, you're then going to have two sets of fandoms coming for you 24/7," He said then backed up, "But I mean sometimes no one is bothered and the fans are super sweet to whoever the person is dating, it really depends on the fans."

"It's alright you know," I didn't face him. I knew that he was trying to cover up from the fact that he just told me how difficult social media relationships can be, "I'm aware of the difficulty and it's okay. I'm not bothered by it."

"You say that now but you're not going to be so happy about everything once you get tons of hate from people that don't know you!" Cal said. He glowered at his computer screen, something obviously bothering him. 

"Are you alright?" I asked, coming up behind him to see what he was looking at. Someone had commented Your lisp is pathetic, you're in your twenties stop talking like a 3 year old. It really confused me when people criticized random people for no apparent reason. He couldn't change that unless he went to speech therapy! That would take a lot of time. Personally I find his lisp endearing. As well as Vic's small one. 

"I get comments like this everyday. I'm used to it, they just make me mad now! Why do they constantly make assumptions and in depth insults towards all of us. I feel bad for the sidemen honestly, they all have individual flaws that the community absolutely slaughter them about daily."

"Do they focus on the bad comments or the good ones?" I went back to cooking the pancakes. 

"Normally on the good but sometimes when you see the same negative comments everyday it becomes something you're super insecure about. I remember when Ethan was fixated on loosing weight sometimes he starved himself. Not normally but it happened a lot. Another thing was that, you know how Tobi gets made fun of for his nose? One time I borrowed his laptop because I left mine at home, his most recent search was "Plastic surgeons near me for noses". How sad is that?" 

"Did he actually? The internet sounds toxic!"  I poured some mix into the pan. The cooker was actually really good quality. I just assumed it was they didn't cook much so it wasn't very used. 

"Yeah, and Tobi is one of the sweetest men in the world, he doesn't deserve any hate. This is why a lot of us are worried for your relationship with Harry, if it gets more serious. You're not used to the negativity we get, we're worried for your mental health." 

"I've been through a lot. If anyone is going to be able to handle the hate from random people, it's me." I was very confident about it.

"So anyway..." Calfreezy said coming from around a corner, "Did you two have fun last night?" 

"Oh not you too!" I chucked a dirty spatula at him.

"It's not my fault! You sounded like you were getting mauled!" Calfreezy chucked it back and Callux burst out laughing. Harry came out in trackies, shirtless.

"What are you all laughing at?" He had damp hair and was rubbing it dry with a towel.

"NOTHING!" They both shouted in an overdramatic way.

"Right Harry set the table, pancakes are coming!"
