Anything to keep you [n.h + h.s]

Chapter 19

The room is dead silent as Michael and I rest on the couch. Everyone else is out and it leaves the two of us alone. Liam and Louis left to go on a date because apparently they had to go on a date. Apparently it's necessary to go on dates when you're supposed to be with your friends. They're such traitors.

Siri and Niall left to go grocery shopping a while ago and Cal and Az also left to go exploring once again. Really I don't know why everyone leaves. My pondering is cut short when Michael's voice is heard.

"Luke talks a lot about you Harry." he says before glancing up at me from his phone. His vibrant blue hair is kind of messed up and hidden by a black snapback.

"Uh. Yeah we've gotten pretty close I guess." I reply with rosy cheeks.

"That's cool. Our gang is just getting bigger and bigger." Michael says and a grin spreads across his face. I smile back at him before turning my gaze to my lap and nervously picking at my jeans.

"Yeah I, I didn't really have any friends before you and Calum started talking to me so, uh thank you." I mumble out and my heart is beating so fast. It feels weird reveling to Michael that I used to be a loner.

"Wait, what? But Niall and you have known each other for forever." he says confusedly and scrunches up his eyebrows.

"Uh yeah. We lost contact three years ago though. But now we're fine again." I tell him and he gapes at me slightly.

"Oh wow. I had no idea about that. I'm so sorry Harry." I shrug when the words have left his mouth.

"'s okay. Not your fault Mikey." I say with a smile before continuing.

"Besides, like you said I have a little gang that keeps growing now." I chuckle out and he laughs with me.

"Yeah. And we're not gonna lose contact. I promise." he says and smiles. His promise gets me a bit teared up so I hide my face from him.

"Don't hide Harry. I won't judge you. You can have a cliffy hug if you want one." he says and when I glance up at him he sits in the armchair with open arms. I sniffle and walk over to him. As I lean down he throws his arms around my waist and pulls me down on the armchair with him.

"I changed my mind. You're getting a cliffy cuddle." he tells me and I snuggle into him.

My head is in the crook of his neck and I'm kind of straddling him and hugging him at the same time when the door opens.

"We're home!" Calum shouts and I have no energy that could be used to get off Michael, and he doesn't seem to mind our position either. So we stay in place.

"You're comfy I see." my favorite voice in the world says and my eyes widen. Niall sounds so annoyed and I instantly sit up which doesn't look any better because I'm literally straddling Michael now.

"Oh no don't get up." he spits before walking off. I gulp before I get out of the armchair and clear my throat.

"If you just, excuse me." I say to Michael with a small sad smile. He nods and stands up.

"Of course." he says and I walk out of the house. I quickly take out my phone from my pocket. I've received a few texts and one of them really surprise me.
