When Harry Comforts Niall Pt.4

Harry and Niall are awoken by all the other boys recording them.

"What the fuck is going on?" Niall said waking up from the flash of the boys' cell phones. Harry rolled over even though the boys clearly saw the two cuddling.

"I think we could be asking you the same question" Louis replied motioning towards the bed.

Niall forced himself out of his sleep, and sat up "fuck off it's none of your business".

"It is if two of my band mates are sleeping together" Zayn said getting agitated.

That flipped a switch in Niall at first he was annoyed, but now he was furious. He flung the sheets off of him and quickly got on his feet "Get out right now" he said pointing to the door. None of the boys moved towards the door.

"Niall calm do-" Liam started only to be drowned out by Niall.

Niall raised his voice "No Liam I will not calm down. First all of you come in here to wake us up early on our day off not to mention the fact that your recording this, and then you see us cuddling and automatically assume that we're fucking? We have every right to be mad." Silence filled the hotel room "Just please please get out for right now."

All the boys suddenly felt remorse for their actions. "I'm-" Louis began.

Niall held up a hand and looked away "Just stop we can talk about this later" he paused for a second "but right now is not the time ok. I'm sorry for the way I reacted, but all of you need to realize what you did."

The boys all gave a small nod and exited the hotel room. Niall immediately plopped down on the bed leaving him face up staring at the hotel ceiling. "Are you ok?" he asked Harry.

"I'm hurt" Harry replied with the only emotion he could register.

"So am I" Niall said as he curled into a fetal position on the bed.

"Um do you want me to hold you? Do you need anything?" Harry asked as he heard Niall's breathing pick up. He knew that Niall was going into a panic attack.

"Could you bring me a pill and um ugh" Niall replied too nervous to admit it.

"Your teddy?" Harry asked already moving to get Niall's things. Harry knew about Niall's teddy- they all did, but they never discussed it. After all just because they live together doesn't mean that they're entitled to know everything about each other.

Niall nodded in reply. After a few seconds of Harry rummaging through Niall's duffle he handed Niall pill and his bear. Niall practically snatched the bear out of Harry's hands (he was never fond of other people touching it). He latched onto his bear and brought it close to his nose. He closed his eyes and deeply inhaled the fresh sent of home (the laundry detergent his mum used since he was little). Niall soon began blushing feeling child-like again.

Harry could recognize that Niall was embarrassed. Harry tried to dismiss Niall's fears by shhhing him and whispering that "everyone copes in different ways". Harry asked if Niall wanted to be touched to which Niall vigorously shook his head no. "It's ok it's ok I'm not going to do anything right now if you don't want me to. Would breathing exercises help?" Harry asked trying to find a way to help Niall.

Niall shrugged his shoulders. For Niall the breathing exercises for him are a hit or miss either they help, or they make it tremendously worse. "Maybe" Niall said giving his verbal response since his attack started.

"Um ok so do you want to try them?" Harry said looking up from his phone (where he was trying to find how to properly do the breathing exercises). The boys had never tried to deal with his panic/anxiety attacks more so just try to manage them, and help him avoid his triggers.
