The best friend and the boyfriend

Chapter 18

The album released .

We are all on the couch scrolling through twitter. Harry is lying with his head in my lap and he suddenly put away his phone .
"What's wrong ?" I ask .
"Nothing , I am just really scared of the reaction ." He mumbles into my stomach .
So I also put away my phone and start playing with his curls since that's an effective way to relax him .
"Hey I am also scared ! Where's my cuddle ?" Louis suddenly pipes up .
"Well you dint ask for one did you ?" I say and he rushes over to the couch . "There's no place Harry is starfishing all over the couch . " he gives me this really sad pout and I feel unnecessarily guilty .
I ask Harry to scoot over . "Go away Louis. She is my cuddle buddy ,find your own ."
"But she's more cuddly than the boys and no one else is here . Can't you share ? "
Harry grumbles and reluctantly agrees . It is a weird arrangement . Harry is wrapped around my middle with his face nuzzled in my stomach and louis is lying next to me with his head on my shoulder and his hands wrapped anywhere Harry isn't.
Now for so many girls out there this would be the ideal situation . But trust me it is not that great . I was uncomfortable and couldn't move at all and it was starting to get hot .
But since they both were so anxious I dint say anything .
The rest of the lads had watched all of this with amusement .
After a few minutes of silence Louis lifts his head and says I smell really good and then proceeds to sniff me . Weirdo !
"How ?" He asks.
"I smell like Harry . So ask him why he smells good ."
He gives me a cheeky wink and wriggles his eyebrows ,"Why do you smell like him ! What did you do ? "
I gape at him and hit his chest . "Pervert ! Not that it's any of your business but no , it's not because of what you think . We just sleep in the same bed and you know how he cuddles ." Liam and Zayn have been laughing right since Louis eyebrow wiggled.
"Stop talking about me like I am not here ." Harry says .
And then we all proceed to see the reactions on twitter . There are obviously haters but for the most part there's a good reaction and everyone is relieved .
Then I somehow tell them to get ready because we have to leave for the interview in an hour .
All the boys except Niall rush off to shower or whatever and I just chill on the couch . Niall carefully comes to sit on the couch and I give him a questioning look . "I'll just go in some time ,I don't take too long . Why aren't you going to shower?"
"Harry is showering first so I have to wait ." I say with a smile .
"So tell me more about you and Harry . I am curious . I mean he's obviously told us a lot but your point of view ?" His expression shows that he is nervous and uncertain . I don't know why ,maybe he thought I'll be offended or think he is nosy.
"Well I'll skip the basics where he's basically been with me since I was born . You obviously know that .
Harry and I are like ....One person . I don't think there's a single memory of my childhood which isn't somehow connected to him . I wouldn't be able to live without him ,ever . It's kind of difficult to explain really . Most people don't understand it ."
"I'll try my best to understand ." He says with a hopeful expression .
"Okay ...I can't think of a perfect comparison for this . But it's like he has topmost priority in my life you know ? I would do anything for him and I know he would do the same .We just connect on a deep level and don't have to ever explain ourselves . We just understand each other without saying anything . We need each other to survive ? Am I making sense anymore ? " And I giggle .
I hear an Aww babe from the doorway and turn my head so quick I get  whiplash .
It's Harry and he's blushing . Wow. He walks over and picks me off the couch . "That was so sweet and emotional ." "Harreh why aren't you showering ?"
"I just had to ask you something so I came looking for you ."
"What was so important that you had to interupt a nice conversation?"
"I wanted to ask if you would shower with me ?" He says with a cheeky grin .
I wack him on the back of his head ," No I am not . So shower on your own and get out quick because we will get late . " He pouts and then slowly puts me down and goes to shower . I turn back to look at Niall ," I am so sorry that buttface interupted our conversation . Let's talk about something else ."
He gives me a forceful smile which I want to question but dont and he says ," Let's play 21 questions ?"
"Yes sure if you start ."
"Favourite colour ?"
"Purple. Yours ?"
"Green and not 'cause I am Irish . Okay maybe that's the reason . Favourite show ? "
"Serious show -supernatural , comedy -friends . Favourite memory."
"When one direction was formed . Best thing ever . Favourite ice cream flavour ?" He had this fond smile on his face while talking about the formation of the band .
"Hmmm that's a difficult one . I guess the coffee one , because I like coffee and ice cream so together it's heaven . What's your favourite cuisine ?" He chuckles at my question .
"All of them . I love food alot ."
"So I have heard ." And we both laugh .
"I really love food too . Like I am always eating something and Harry is worried about my health but I don't care . And I don't share food at all . Like except with Harry . Wow I say his name a lot don't I ?"
"Yeah you do . And I feel the same about my food . I am very protective about it but people don't understand . I am so glad you know how it feels ." Then we high five and I have this sudden urge to interwine my fingers with him but only because his hands are soft right ?
I guess . I look at him laughing and I feel comfortable . Like being wrapped in a warm fuzzy blanket . His laugh has that effect on me . Before we could continue talking we are interupted once again ,this time by Liam and he asks Niall to hurry up and get ready . So Niall apologises and promises to continue talking later . He seems reluctant to leave but he has to . So I head up to shower to and I can hear his laugh on repeat in my head .
