Harry Styles

"Haz" Liam poked my stomach

"Harry!" Zayn shouted

"Harrey" Niall mumbled, still tired

I just ignored them all, not wanting to open my eyes.

"Hazza" Louis whispered

I open my eyes a little and look at the boy hovering over me. "Yeh?"

"Wanna eat?" He asks with a crooked grin

I nod and raise up a little. He pushes himself back so I can get up fully. I follow him and the other boys to the small kitchen area. I see nothing has been cooked and they've just got food laying around. Suddenly, I realize why that had to wake me up. I sigh and grin.

"You all want me to cook?" I ask, laughing a little

"Well, obviously. All of us ar shit at it" Zayn grins

"Hey! Not true! I made a lovely meal for Haz and I" Louis argues immediately

"Yes, we know," Liam says

Then all of us recite Louis' words together because we've heard them so many times

"Chicken, wrapped in Parma ham, stuffed with a bit of mozzarella. and homemade mash on the side" We all chant. We even do the little hand motions he does when he talks so proudly of it.

He grins and says, "Good, You're all finally learning. Now, Haz, please make us a meal"

"Fine" I smile and turn to the stove

"Breakfast, okay?" I ask as I grab the eggs from the mini fridge. I get sounds of agreement, so I start cooking. I made cheesy scrambled eggs, sausage, and toast. I hand everyone a plate and we all grab a water to sit down and eat.

"Hey, you didn't get toast" Louis frowns at me

"Oh, no, it's fine, though. Just ran out of bread" I shrug

Louis shakes his head and mumbles, "Well, that won't do"

He grabs his toast and holds it up to my lips. I smile and take a bite. He pulls it away and takes a bite for himself.

"We'll just continue to share mine" 

"Thanks, Lou"

After we all finished eating, I took the paper plates and threw them in the trash bin under the counter. Godo way of saving space, putting it under there. 

"Hey, wanna watch a film?" Liam offers as he grabs the remote control for the small TV on the wall. Everyone nods and sits around the couch once more. Liam clicks the TV on and there's already a few options downloaded on one of the streaming sites. We end up choosing Alice and Wonderland, the one with Johnny Dep as the mad hatter guy. It's the best one, in my opinion.

A few minutes into the film, everyone is all focused on it, besides Louis and I.

He's got his hand on my lower back, tracing little circles on my skin after slipping his hand under my shirt. I'm tingling at the feeling with a shiver creeping up my spine.

He's got a smirk, obviously knowing what he's doing.

tease

"i'm gonna get up and grab blankets from the bunks. Anyone else need one?" he suddenly says as he stands up. The feeling of his hand leaving my back makes me slump my shoulders

"Yeah, me. I'm freezing" Niall says

Louis disappears to the back of the bus and returns a minute or two later with a couple blankets. He tosses one to Niall. Liam and Niall cuddle up under it. Zayn has got a hoodie on, so he's fine. Louis sits back down, even closer to me than before, and puts the blanket over us both.

I didn't really want it... but when his hand slipped over onto my thigh, I realized that I did, infact, need it. His hand sat just below the bottom of my pocket on my pants, making small circles with his thumb towards my inner thigh. I bit my bottom lip and tried to keep my eyes on the movie.

Another few minutes pass and his hand slips over move. He cups his fingers just around the inner side of my thigh and gives me a squeeze. I bite my lip harder and let my eyes fall shut for just a second, trying to contain any little noise that might fall from my lips.

After that, Louis just cuddled into my side and kept his hand on my leg. I smiled a little at the gesture and we finished up the movie.

By time it was over, Zayn had disappeared to his bunk to Skype his girlfriend and Liam was asleep with Niall in his lap, just playing on his phone with ear buds in.

Louis looked up at me and grabbed my chin softly, directing my lips to his.

After just a moment, he pulled back.

"Gonna go talk to Allen" he says as he stands. I just nod and watch him go to the front part of the bus.

I move from the couch, taking the blanket with me, and hop up into my bunk. I cuddle into my pillow and the blanket while plugging my ear buds into my phone.

I end up playing some of Ed Sheeran's songs and shut my eyes, quietly humming to them.

After 7 or 8 songs, I feel myself drifting to sleep. I try to keep myself away, and I do, but only for another couple songs. I completely fall asleep with the faint sound of Thinking Out Loud playing in my ears.

I woke up to someone crawling into my bunk. I opened my eyes when arms wrapped around me. The only thing I could really see was blonde poofy hair, because the rest of the body was tucked under the blanket. I smile at the Irish boy.

"Niall?" I ask

He hums in response.

"You okay?" I ask again

"Really like Hannah"

"Tell her that"

"Too hard. Too busy. Too scared"

I nod slowly and run my fingers through his hair. Suddenly, the little curtain gets pulled back and I see Louis, about to be climbing up here, but stops when he sees Niall.

He smiles a little then gives me a nod before he drops back down to the floor to get in his own bunk, or crash with Zayn. No idea.
