Hero

23. Mint.

I decided being the first one to wake up wasn't a fun thing to be doing.

I put down the towel that I had used to dry my hair with after my shower and walked over to Harrys peaceful body. He was still asleep and it was now nearing half ten, I had somehow awoken before him and decided to leave him to sleep whilst I had a quick shower and got dressed, however now that I had done all of that, I was bored and hungry, but Harry was still sleeping.

"Oh, Harry," I whispered poking him him in his side. "Harry, rise and shine," I whispered louder as I poked him on his cheek a few times, I also tweaked his nose. His eyes fluttered and I just managed to catch them being rolled in annoyance before he turned over and buried his face into my pillow muttering under his breath.

"Piss off."

Well.

"Titanium, please wake up." I said sweetly as I jabbed my finger into his muscly back making him flinch away from me with irritation clear in his movements, however he made no movement to get up. I huffed.

I frowned thinking over my options at what would be the best way to wake sleeping beauty before a thought popped to mind that had me smirking deviously.

I sneakily slid my hands under the comforter until I met his body, I quickly wriggled my fingers in his sides causing him to jerk up and take my wrists hostage within the span of his large hands. He held them away from his body with a disgruntled look that made me giggle.

"Has anyone told you how annoying you are?" He commented, his voice making my stomach flutter from the gravelly tone of it as he rolled his eyes setting my wrists on the bed before he stretched his limbs and climbed out of the bed wearing boxers and a T-shirt only. I gulped eying his lean legs as he stalked over to the closet where all of our clothes lived for the time being.

"No."

"I find that difficult to believe."

I scoffed quietly.

"I took a shower, by the way. You. . . . you don't mind right?" I asked uneasily, my shyness weaving into my words as I fiddled with my fingers nervously.

"Don't be silly. And I was wondering why you smelt like me," He said with a smirk dancing across his pink lips as he pulled out a pair of skinny jeans and a patterned shirt. I giggled at his words which were true; I did smell like him because I used his manly smelling shower Jel and shampoo.

"Well, once you have a shower, you'll smell like me," I replied enthusiastically. He chuckled to himself as he grabbed a towel and slung it over his shoulder.

"How will anyone tell us apart," He said in mock horror as he stalked leisurely into the bathroom making me laugh as he shut the door behind him.

We walked down the corridor towards the dining room where apparently breakfast was being served, my hand clutched tightly in his-- however I didn't mind, I felt quite nervous about the whole ordeal. Harry had told me that everyone present at the house gathered to eat breakfast, the only meal they actually ate together, this of course stirred my zoo of butterflies to flutter around with nervousness clear within them. I didn't know anyone apart from Harry, Perrie, Zayn, and as of yesterday Ash. That was hardly a lot of people and I had no idea what the other heroes opinion of me was, I mean, I didn't necessarily care all that much about what they thought, however I didn't want anyone hating me.
