__Niall__
After a while of just getting comfortable and Harry looking around my room, we got out our science notes and a text book I brought home and started to study. Harry talked about the different laws of science, the periodic table and all the different elements, water stuff, space stuff, and after a while, I found myself memorizing certain stuff.
"We would-"
"Die. Right? Because it lights the air on fire. Well, the chemical in the air catches on fire, depriving us of oxygen, and at the same time, it'd be like an explosion." I explained
"Exactly. And that's what the chemical does that we weren't allowed to use in class today" Harry nodded
"Understandable" I giggled
He smiled at me and shut the text book
"It's been 4 hours..." he sighed
"I'm starving. Will you eat dinner with us?" I asked hopefully
"Uhm" he tucked his bottom lip between his teeth then nodded "but only a little. I'm not all that hungry"
"Sure. I'll tell mom to order pizza?" he offered
"That sounds great. I'll wait here"
I nodded and patted his hand before getting out of bed and hurrying downstairs..
When i got downstairs, Mom wasn't in the kitchen anymore. I guessed she went to the living room.. and when I turned the corner, to go find her, I was knocked down by my brother..
I hit the ground hard
"Watch it, fag" he muttered as he walked past me
I whimpered and tried to sit up, but he stepped on my hand and laughed at me
I ran back upstairs and shut myself in my room. I pretty much forgot Harry was there as I rested my back against the door and shut my eyes, trying to calm my breaths.
"Niall? Hey, are you okay?"
"N-no" I whispered
"Come here" he said softly
I didn't even open my eyes. I took two steps and crumbled into my new friend's chest.
"I hope I'm doing this right" he said, trying to lighten the mood
"You're a great hugger" I whispered
he walked us to my bed and we sat down. He took my hands- but I winced and pulled away. My left hand throbbed.
"Shit, are you alright?" he asked as he stared at my hand
"Brother's a dick" I sighed and looked at my hurt fingers
Harry tended to my fingers and ended up wrapping them with some gauze from the first aid kit in my bathroom so I didn't bend them and hurt them anymore then we just sat back down on my bed
"You're a good guy, Harry" I whispered
He looked over at me and smiled a little
"So are you"
"I'm sorry I never talked to you before now" I admitted, "I always wanted to.. just.. too scared"
"I'm kinda.. closed off. Sorry." he sighed and ran a hand through his curls
"We friends? We should be friends.. I like you" I giggled a little and he grinned at me
"Sure, Ni.. We can be friends"
