~Harry's POV~

"Niall, why are you being so cuddly today?" I asked the blonde Irish boy who was clinging to my waist as we waited to go onstage for our concert.

"I don't know" Niall mumbled into my neck, the warm breath on my neck making me shiver.

"Okay then, I guess" I said confused. I knew there had to be something wrong with him. How did I know this? Well he hadn't gone near Liam all night, and they were usually snogging in a corner somewhere. With Liam glaring at me and Niall from across the room I'm guessing they've had a fight or something.

"I'm just going to sit down Niall" I said trying to pry him off of me. Liam is scary when he's mad okay?
"No Harry please stay with me" Niall whispered. I swear I felt water running down my neck. It wasn't till I heard Niall sniffling that I realised he was crying.
"Niall, hon, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" I whispered in his ear rubbing his back.
"Please don't leave me, can I stay with you please?" Niall said weakly sniffling.
"Yes Ni of course. Just calm down yeah? We can't have you going out on stage like this" I said removing his head from under my neck and wiping his tears away.
He looked up at me looking thankfully at me. His usually bright blue eyes were a dull grey colour. I needed to find out what was wrong.
"Did you I Li have a fight" I asked.
"I guess you could call it that" he said looking over at Liam. When he realised Liam was looking at him already he immediately turned to look back at me.
"What was the fight about?" I asked wanting to help.
"Umm, I-it doesn't matter. It was a stupid fight anway" Niall quickly said.
"Well obviously it was something serious if you're this upset over it. Niall I haven't seen you this upstart in years!" I exclaimed.
"Just leave if Harry! It's my fault anyway." Niall said dismissively.
"Five minutes boys!" Our manager said zooming past on a Segway.
"Bitch stole my Segway!" Niall muttered to himself. I couldn't help but chuckle. He was literally crying on my shoulder a second ago and now he's concerned about a Segway? Only Niall.

"We're talking about this later yeah? No excuses this time." I said as we were about to go on stage.

"Okay, I guess. Can I stay in your room tonight?" Niall asked sheepishly.
"Of course Ni, I could use a good cuddle anyway."I said ruffling his hair. Lou will kill me for that.
"Thanks Haz" he whispered, a blush slowly forming on his cheeks.
A minute later we were on stage killing it as usual.
I noticed through out the concert that Niall and Liam weren't interacting whatsoever. I'm pretty sure the fans noticed it too.
Niall is going to have a lot of explaining to do tonight.

~Later on that night~

I was lying in bed with Niall. He had his head on my bare chest while I played with his hair.
"So go on, tell me what happened" I said to Niall gently. I didn't want to upset him again.
"We.. Umh.. We b-broke up." Niall stuttered out before he burst into tears, his sobs making his whole body shake.
"Shhh, Niall its okay babe" I tried to comfort him. I needed to know why they broke up. I thought Niall said it was just a fight, I didn't think it was that bad. It's a complete surprise to me, those to were inseparable up until today.
"Why did you break up, I thought it was just a fight?" I whispered rubbing his arm gently.
"Um.. It wasn't just a fight...H-he said I-I wasn't g-good enough for him anymore... He wants to g-get back with Sophia" He whispered with tears running down his cheeks. "It was my fault! Why can't I be g-good enough f-for him! What's wrong with m-" I cut him off and said "Don't you dare blame yourself Horan. This is in no way shape or form your fault. If Liam wants to be a dickhead, then that's up to him. Niall you are most the amazing person ever and you don't deserve to be treated that way. He isn't worth your tears. You were in a year long relationship with that man and he treats you like that! You deserve so much better" I said angrily. Honestly I just wanted to go and punch Liam for what he did to my Nialler. The poor boy was heartbroken.
"Who would ever want me?" Niall whispered sadly.

"Well, I want you" I said sheepishly, scratching the back of my neck.
"What?"Niall said looking up at me with a shocked expression.
"Yeah, uhm, you see, I've kind of liked you for about two months now? You were with Liam so I didn't want to tell you but yeah, I really like you Niall." I said sincerely. It's safe to say that I didn't picture telling him this while he was crying about his boyfrie-  ex-boyfriend now I guess.
"Harry, I just got my heart broken and I'm really not ready to start another relationship. Maybe we can try in a few weeks? Maybe months I don't know. It's just too soon." Niall said looking at me nervously.
"Of course Niall, I completely understand" I said reassuringly. I did understand, the boy was just after getting his heart broken. I certainly wasn't expecting him to just jump into another  relationship that fast. I didn't want to be a rebound anyway.
"Thank you so much Haz." Niall said sniffling, cuddling back into my chest.
"Of course Niall. Let's just cuddle." I said wrapping my arms around his waist.
"I think I like you too Haz" Niall whispered smiling up at me a few minutes later.
"That's good. I'll wait as long as you need me to" I said and pecked his cheek and nose which caused him to giggle, and can I say that it was the cutest  thing ever? Liam definitely made a mistake letting this angel go.
"Thank you Haz" Niall whispered. He then closed his eyes and fell asleep.

We spent the next day lying on the couch watching DVD's and cuddling. I love my Niall cuddles.

I took Niall on our first date one month later, and a second date a week after that.

We celebrated our one year anniversary yesterday and I gave him a promise ring, promising him that one day I'd propose and we'd be getting married. I love that boy with all my heart and I know we have many great memories to make ahead of us.
