Harry Home

Moved from 1D | I'll Always Be Here

Niall's POV
I pulled the car up and the back door swung open.
"Harry!" Gemma called as he got out of the car and they hugged him. "I missed you."
"We love you darling."
"Thanks Gem. Thanks mum."
"Good drive?" Liam asked me as I got out of the car.
"Yeah. Harry's really excited to be home."
"I thought that he would be."
"Let's get you inside Harry," Louis said and I turned to see Harry nod in agreement.
"Sounds good," Harry replied before he walked towards the door with his family while Liam and I got his stuff out of the car.
"Bear!" I heard Freddie shout as I got Goldie out of the car.
"This is Harry's bear Freddie," I told him.
"Nooo, I want a Bear."
"We'll get you a bear," Louis told Freddie as he crouched down and ruffled his hair.
"Yay! Bear!"
"Did mummy drop you off?"
"Yeah."
"Good."
"She dropped him off this morning."
"Hi litten," Harry said as he knelt down and Freddie hugged him.
"Arry!"
"Yeah. Hi buddy."

After a moment, Harry let go of Freddie and his eyes changed.
"Where...? Lou...?"
"Here," I said as he knelt down and handed Harry Goldie. He then clutched the bear tightly as he buried his head into it.
"Ok love," Louis said as he knelt down and rubbed his hand round Harry's back. We then just waited, except for Freddie. He hugged Goldie as well and Harry peaked out from the other side of Goldie.
"Who...?"
"Bear," Freddie said as he put his hand onto Goldie.
"Mine," Harry said as pulled Goldie towards him.
"Mine Arry."
"Arry?"
"You. Arry," Freddie said and Harry frowned before he looked at the ground.
"Harry? Talk to me," Louis said and Harry looked at him before he nodded.
"I'm back Lou," He said before he looked at Freddie. "Thanks Fred."
"Arry sad."
"I'm not sad anymore," Harry said before he kissed Freddie on his forehead. Freddie giggled and he hugged Goldie. "Here."
"Yes!" Freddie said as he gripped Goldie and walked a few steps before he fell and Goldie fell on top of him.
"I've got him," Liam said before he went over and picked both Freddie and Goldie up. He took him to the sofa and we soon followed.

"Ok Harry. Concert time," I said before I got a guitar and stood up in-front of them. "My album comes out next month, but I want to play something just for you," I said before I starting to perform 'Nothing'.

"Ok, my turn," Louis said as I was finished and he took the guitar off me. He was a bit ropey with playing it, but Harry relaxed against me as Louis sang, 'Always You'.

"Ok Harry," Liam said before he switched with Louis and began playing 'Midnight'.

When he had finished, I heard someone snoring so I turned to see who it was. It was Freddie.
"I think someone's tired."
"We've been up since 4am making a cake."
"What cake?"
"No cake," I said quickly and Louis looked at me. "There's no cake. Forget everything that was said about cake."
"Ok... is it one for Harry coming home?"
"Not exactly..." Eleanor began but she trailed off as I gave her dagger eyes. "Nope. That's it. I'll get Freddie to bed."
"Good idea."
"What's this about a cake?" Gemma asked and I rolled my eyes.
"Fine. We'll do it now. Harry, come with me."
"Harry?"
"Yeah. Chat amongst yourselves," I said as I brought Harry into the kitchen with me.
"Is this it Niall?" Harry said as he lifted up a cake tin, which revealed a homemade sponge cake.
"It must be. I'll get the decorating stuff and you can do the icing."
"Yeah, sounds good," Harry said and I began collecting icing pens and decorations together as Anne came over.
"What's going on Niall? Why's Harry involved?"
"The cake's for Louis," Harry told her.
"What? Why's he getting a cake?"
"To say thank you. For looking after me."
"Aw, that's nice. Are you ok to do this Harry?"
"Yeah. I've got Niall with me."
"I'm keeping an eye on him Anne."
"Good. I'll leave you two boys to it then."
"Thanks."
"Let's watch something," Anne said as she went back over to the group.

They watched The Fellowship of the Ring, and I kept seeing Louis glance worringly in our direction.
"Louis's watching us," I told Harry as he licked the icing bowl and I was writing Louis's name on the cake.
"I know. Lou..." Harry said before he put the bowl down and lent against the sink.
"Harry? Are you ok?"
"I..." Harry said and I put the icing pen down before I went over to him.
"It's ok, I'm here."
"I don't..." Harry said before he started to cry.
"Ok. Sit down. Come on," I said before I gently sat him down on the kitchen floor. I only then noticed that the film had been paused and Louis was kneeling beside me.
"What's wrong Niall?"
"He's just confused. He's alright."
"Where... I..." Harry struggled and I calmed him the best I could.
"You're alright Harry. You're ok. You're safe. Take some deep breaths for me."
"Why does the cake say Louis?" Louis asked and I sighed.
"It was suppose to be a surprise."
"A surprise for who?"
"For you dumbass."
"Why's it for me?"
"Harry wanted to say thank you for looking after him. As well as sorry for everything that he'd said before, well... you know."
"Yeah," Louis said before he turned back to Harry, who had gone quiet and he brushed his hand gently along his neck. "H honey. Are you back with me?"
"Little."
"A little?"
"I don't know... Goldie, Lou?"
"Freddie's got him in a vice like grip I'm afraid," Eleanor said as she came over.
"Goldie..." Harry whispered before he hugged Louis.
"I'll be your bear, it's ok," Louis said as he sat down and embraced Harry back.
