A Different Kind Of Special - Larry Stylinson/Niam Horanye AU Kitten!Harry

Chapter 31

[Harry's P.O.V.]

Louis had fallen asleep with his head in my lap after I told him that he needed to sleep. He said he hadn't even thought about sleeping without me.

"I can't fall asleep without you telling me goodnight, Hazza," he had said, sheepishly.

"Louis," I had whined. "Go to sleep. Please. For me."

"Don't leave," he had muttered as he laid his head in my lap, almost immediately falling asleep.

I smile as I lean down to press a kiss to his forehead causing him to stir slightly before his breathing evened out again. I push the hair out of his face and look down at the face of the boy I fell for so many years ago. He was so beautiful and so... Perfect. He always made me laugh when I didn't even want to think about smiling. He made me feel so important by just the littlest of things. He held me when my dad left and I ran into his room crying. He held me until I stopped crying. He was even there when Mum remarried. I think that was the day I realized I was in love with him. Robin had requested me to sing at the wedding. I sang a song that was picked out by my future step-father to have playing when Mum walked down the aisle. That day seemed kind of magical. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"You've been practicing, right?"  Robin had asked me as he nervously pulled at his sleeves.

"Yupp, been practicing since the day you told me," I smiled.

"What if she hates it? What if she thinks it's stupid and thinks I'm stupid? What if she thinks I ruined the whole wedding day because of it? Maybe we should have just stuck to the regular wedding march song."

He began to ramble to himself as he tugged at his sleeves. I rolled my eyes and found Louis in the crowd. He smiled and waved to me as I smiled to him. A blush rose into my cheeks as he smiled to me. Here lately, Louis had been making me nervous and blush more than I normally do. I quickly walked to the entrance and met my mum. She smiled to me and kissed my cheek. Her hands were shaking and she looked a little nervous. I smiled and lead her to the door. She gripped tightly to my arm and lead out a quiet sigh. The doors opened and when she entered the room, everyone stood. Mum looked up at Robin and he nearly swooned. A wide smile broke out across his face and he waved his hand at me. I looked at the pianist and nodded. The music changed and a surprise look crossed my mother's face. I stepped in front of my mum and held both of her hands. I smiled as I began to sing.

"Oh, her eyes, her eyes make the stars look like they're not shinin'
Her hair, her hair falls perfectly without her tryin'
She's so beautiful
And I tell her everyday

Yeah, I know, I know when I compliment her, she won't believe me
And it's so, it's so sad to think that she don't see what I see
But every time she asks me do I look okay?
I say

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are

And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
'Cause Mum, you're amazing
Just the way you are."

Tears formed in her eyes and I lead her to the alter. She hugged me and let out a quiet sob/laugh. She whispered that she loved me and I handed her off to Robin. I sat in my spot next to Louis and he gripped my hand. Butterflies crashed in my stomach and a blush reddened my cheeks. I glanced at Louis and met his dazzling blue eyes. Something pulled my heart and he smiled to me. I turned my attention back to my mum and step-father. The ceremony ended and the reception took place in a building next to the church. Their first dance, I sang All About Us by He Is We and Owl City. I met Louis' eyes in the crowd as they danced and I realized I was in love with my best friend. I finished the song and Mum started crying again. I sat next to Louis and he held my hand. It fit perfect in my hand, like we were met to be. And in the moment, I realized that we were. But I couldn't be in love with my best friend, could I? I looked up to Louis again. Yes, yes I could. Very easily.
