Chapter 11

Niall's POV:

The car ride to the cinema wasn't the most relaxing we've ever taken... The boys would take every opportunity to make little side comments about Harry and I or whispering to each other while looking right at us and giggling. I pretended not to notice and so did Harry, but it really made me worried as to if they knew what was going on. Did they see us kissing in the kitchen? Did they hear our conversation? I really hope not. I'm just not ready for "coming out" yet I guess. I've known I'm gay for a while now, well at least into Harry... Maybe you could say I'm Harry-sexual? Forget I even said that... But honestly, all of this is too much for one morning. I feel like it's been dragged out for days...

"Sit by me," Harry says quietly into my ear smiling, as Liam gets our tickets. I smile back at him in response.

I just hope we can get into our theatre before anyone recognizes us. I'm more than happy about seeing the fans, I love them all. But today, I'm just not in the mood at all to see anyone. I wanted to just curl up with Harry on the couch, but I guess that can wait for later.

Thankfully no one recognized us making our way into the theatre. That's probably due to our hoodies and sunglasses. Preston takes a seat closer to the bottom while we move to the top row of seats. Harry and I sit towards the end of the group.

I'm not even sure what movie we're seeing honestly. I'm so caught up in my thoughts.

The movie starts briefly and I munch on the popcorn between Harry and I. I stare at the screen but don't really pay much attention to what's going on.

Next to me, Liam and Louis laugh loudly at something funny in the film and Zayn smiles. I look at Harry who's also smiling. He looks at me and does so even wider. He looks down at our hands and then back at me nodding at them. I take the hint and take his hand into mine between our seats where no one can see. I smile back up at him and fight the urge to kiss him. Rather, I sink down further into my seat and rest my head on his shoulder. No one can say anything to that, we've always done that!

The rest of the movie is spent with Harry rubbing his thumb along my hand and smiling at each other occasionally. His touch alone was comforting enough to calm me down and drown out my thoughts.

Back in the car the boys chat about the film leaving me and Harry sitting quietly waiting to get dropped off at his flat.

"So did you like the movie boys? You were awfully quiet," Louis says devilishly.

"I-it was good," I say, my voice going uneven.

Zayn and Liam share yet another smirk.

"Yeah I bet it was good," I hear Louis say under his breath and the other boys laugh together. Harry and I look at each other nervously. Fortunately, Preston pulls up to Harry's flat within seconds.

"Here you go boys. Need me to walk you in?" he asks us.

"No, but thank you Preston," Harry says beginning to step out of the car. He nods in response. The two of us get out and make our way to Harry's door.

"Well I'm glad that's over," he says with a huff.

"Yeah, like Jesus Christ what's gotten into them today?" I say back in an annoyed tone.

Harry unlocks his door and we step in, "I don't know but honestly, I'm not worried about them right now. We haven't been able to talk properly for hours so why don't we just forget about everything and get back to our plans from before," he says beaming at me.

"Well now, how can I resist a proposition like that!" I say excitedly. We giggle together and take our costs off.

"I'll make us both tea you go change into some lounge clothes. They should be in my wardrobe..." he says thinking.
