Styles My Stepbrother (Harry Styles Fanfic)

Chapter Forty: Fear

HARRY'S POV


She wasn't going to last a day. She's already super attracted to me, we live under the same roof, and if we're being honest, I'm not that hard to look at. Though she poses a good challenge. I literally couldn't tear my eyes off of her as she sauntered up the stairs to the media room. I knew she was swaying her hips just to out on a show. She disappeared into the dark media room and I closed the door behind me, leaving the only light as the blue TV screen.

"So what are we watching?" I asked as I plopped down on the couch next to Hanna. I saw her twitch to shift her position more towards me, but she quickly corrected herself and leaned more into Duke. Duke looked a little uncomfortable but still tried to relax.

"You man enough for Insidious?" She challenged.

"Please that movie isn't scary at all." I'm a fucking liar, that movie scares the shit out of me...

She put the movie in and then pressed play. Even though I was scared of this movie, I happened to know that she was scared of it as well. I remember because it was one of the first movies we watched alone in the house after our parents had left. When I woke up the morning after she was curled up in a ball on the side of my bed because she was too scared to sleep alone, but too considerate to try and wake me up. I smiled at the memory. She had looked so innocent sleeping. She was holding onto her pillow pet tightly and I remember I had shocked myself with the sudden thought of me wanting her to wrap her arms around me instead. I stopped my thought and focused on the movie before something happened that would cause me to lose the bet.

We both held are cool till around the end of the movie when the monster finally showed his face. All three of us jumped and Hanna landed closer to Duke than I was comfortable with. What was funny though was he seemed just as uncomfortable as I was about it.

"Okay, I think it's time for me to go." Duke declared as he stood up quickly and started fumbling in the dark towards the door.

"Duke, are you okay?" Hanna asked, pausing the movie and getting up after him. I quickly followed her, a little concerned for Duke myself.

"Yeah, I'm fine, I just think I better get going." He said as he got to the front door. As he put on his jacket, he turned around to say goodbye.

"Bye Hanna." He gave her a quick hug and she gave him a peck on the cheek, causing me to clench my fists.

"It was nice meeting you too Harry. We should hang out again." He suggested, sticking his hand out to shake.

"Yeah totally. All three of us could go bowling or something next weekend." His smile lessened a little and I was confused. As his hand slid out of mine, he used his fingers to close mine into a fist. He them hurried out the door and into his car. As Hanna watched him drive off, I opened my hand to see a piece of paper with writing on it.


Next time you get scared, call me ;)

I'm not going to lie, I laughed way harder than I should have. I couldn't believe it! Actually I could. Duke was gay. No wonder he wasn't getting all hot and bothered by Hanna's outfit and wasn't comfortable when they were touching.

"What's so funny?" Hanna asked me as she shut the door. I imported the number on my phone just in case, and then handed her the paper.

"Looks like your plan to make me jealous just went down the hill." I joked as I started laughing again. Her mouth opened wide with shock as she read and reread the note.

"I can't believe it..." She murmured. "Peter Parker is gay."

"What?"

"Nevermind." She dismissed. I shook my head in confusion but just let it slide, not really wanting to know the story behind it.

"So what so you want to do now?" She asked.

"I don't know about you, but I'm heading to bed." I yawned. She nodded her head and we made our way back upstairs. She stopped at her room and I continued towards mine.

"H-Harry?" She stammered. I turned on my heels slowly, turning to face her. Was she caving already?

"I-I-I mean I know we just started the bet, but do you think tonight could be an exception?" She asked with a small voice.

"What do you mean?" I asked. She rolled her eyes and took a deep breath.

"I'm scared." She whispered. She looked up at me through her long, dark eyelashes and protruded her lower lip slightly,. The sight took my breath away. Never in my life had I seen someone so beautiful and vulnerable.

"Uhh- uh yeah. Yeah of course. Here, you can sleep with me tonight." I offered. She smiled shyly and I was glad it was dark in the hallway or else she would be able to see the effect she was having on me. She followed me into my room and we both got under the covers of my bed. I held her in my arms until I could hear her soft snores as the only sound in the room besides my breathing.

"I love you Hanna." I whispered to her as I kissed her forehead and removed some hair from around her face. I was falling asleep so I couldn't be sure, but I could've sworn I heard a "Goodnight Harry." Come from her lips.
