y'all im so bored so im probably gonna try to update every two days or so idk but (-: sorry for the change of povs but it will generally be in Harry's pov unless I tell u different

*Niall's POV*

Liam was nice. He let me sleep on the pull out bed that came out of his couch - with Harry, of course. And that wasn't completely bad, but Harry didn't feel like my boss anymore. More like, a close friend that I had known for a while. Harry ran off to fetch some blankets for us and I yawned, stretching my arms above my head to release some tension. I was beyond upset about how things went over with Sean. I still love Sean, I really do; and it fucking kills me when he hurts me, whether its emotionally or physically, and I sure got my fair share of both. Sean was the only person I had ever been with, so at first I just assumed that's how it was with every relationship and that it was pretty normal, but I was wrong.

"Get up, love." Harry tells me, patting my thigh. I jerk up and scoot out of his way, watching him swiftly dress the bed. He stands up straight, putting his hands on his hips and letting out a tired sigh.

"There." He tells me and starts to walk off towards the dark hallway.

"Where are you going?" I ask, my voice smaller than usual.

"To sleep." He answers and continues walking, before my voice makes him stop in his tracks.

"You're supposed to sleep with me..." I mumble. He furrows his eyebrows, his eyes sleepy and slightly annoyed.

"I have a girlfriend." He tells me, crossing his arms over his chest. I roll my eyes at him, irritation beginning to rise in my core. I knew that Harry had a girlfriend; it was one of the first things he mentioned about himself. But I can't help but feel a pang of jealously wash over me, knowing that when this is all over, Harry will return home with his stupid girlfriend.

"Harry, I'm not going to make you stick your dick in my ass, we're just sharing a bed." I groan, my annoyance overflowing into my voice. He is taken aback by my choice of words but complies anyway, grumbling incoherent cuss words under his breath while he makes his way back towards me. A small smile creeps onto my face as his tall frame emerges from the dark hallway he was once in, and I suppress it the best I can. Tonight, he's with me, I think to myself, trying to calm any residual jealously I may be harboring. He slides under the blankets and turns away from me, making sure to leave an immense amount of space between us. I sigh and turn off the light before following suit and cuddling myself into the blankets. I haven't shared a bed with anyone but Sean in years, and the difference feels bittersweet. On one hand, I really miss how Sean would hold me after a long day, whispering sweet nothings into my ears to lull me to sleep. But on the other hand, it feels so exciting to be laying here next to Harry. I feel so jittery and giddy, just like I felt with Sean in the beginning. The feeling is something I didn't realize I missed, and I know it's wishful thinking, but I feel grateful that I feel this way for Harry. After a few minutes, I break the silence, turning towards Harry.

"Harry?" I say, my voice barely above a whisper. I wasn't sure if he was sleeping or not; and I didn't want to wake him if he was.

"Mm?" He says, turning around to face me, his eyes droopy from exhaustion. I look down and fiddle with the hem of my baggy T-shirt.

"Do you think... Do you think Sean will find me?" I whisper, my voice trembling slightly. I know Sean is crazy, and usually has my location; but when we left his apartment, I made sure to turn it off, just in case he decided to follow us. 

"I don't think so. I'll make sure he doesn't, okay?" He tells me, scooting towards me slightly. My heart starts pounding in my chest as I take in his new proximity to me, making me feel hot all over.

"Thank you. For, everything." I say, blushing. Luckily it's dark and he can't tell, but I'm pretty sure my entire body is beet red at this point.

"Of course." He says, the moonlight shining through the small window and capturing his essence. His eyes twinkled and shone and looked beautiful with his dark lashes framing them, his lips were so pink and full and I had to take a second to let in a sharp breath because I felt as if I were suffocating.

"You alright?" He whispers, leaving his lips slightly parted. That's when I did it. I scoot closer and quickly peck lips his before backing up, staring into his eyes to gauge his reaction. He looks at me with wide eyes and I do the same, covering my mouth in embarrassment. 

"H-Harry, I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have done that. I know you're-" He cuts me off by leaning down and catching my lips with his. I moan and wrap my arms around his neck, and he places a gentle hand on my waist and uses the other one to cup my jaw. He tilts his head to the side and takes my bottom lip between his teeth and leaning back a little, letting it snap back into place before pressing his lips into mine even harder. The whole room felt stuffy, and I couldn't stop myself. His hands greedily felt all over my body, his cold hands slipping under my T-shirt and grazing over all the skin he could. My heart flutters from the sudden contact, my mind foggy except this moment. We pant against each other's lips before he removes his hands from me and flips back over abruptly, scooting back towards his original spot. My eyes are wide with surprise and confusion, my heart pounding against my chest. I take in a shaky breath before flipping over and doing the same, cuddling back into the comfy blankets that covered me. My lips still tingled from his being placed there; I wanted to savor the feeling forever. I reached my hand up to it and let my fingers graze over my slightly swollen lips, a smile creeping up.

"He kissed me." I whisper to myself, smiling wide and closing my eyes.
