Styles My Stepbrother (Harry Styles Fanfic)

Chapter Forty-Three: Close

HANNA'S POV

"Then Keith ran back into the burning building and was able to save those two children. Poor baby still had a scar on his arm from it." Gemma cooed. I sighed and played a little more with the food on my plate. Ever since we had gotten home it had just been "Keith this" and "Keith that." Frankly, I was getting a little tired of it and I'm pretty sure half the stories she was telling were bullshit. I mean honestly who is able to wrestle a bear and an angry moose in Yellowstone at the same time? That's right, nofuckingone.  Harry must've sensed my hesitation to hear another Keith story because he interrupted his sister before she could tell another one.

"It's getting late. Why don't I show you guys where you'll be staying?" Harry suggested. They nodded and got up from the table. While they got settled I decided to wash the dishes. Halfway through I started humming a song I has stuck in my head. Soon the humming turned into singing. I started drying the dishes and singing a little louder.

"Carry on my wayward son,

There'll be peace when you are done.

Lay your weary head to rest,

Don't you cry no more.

No!"

On the last word I dropped the plate I was drying from shock because I realized I wasn't singing alone. The plate shattered all around me, leaving me trapped against the sink.

"Shit, Hanna, I'm sorry." Keith apologized, automatically moving forward towards me.

"No, Keith be careful, there is glass everywhere." I warned. He raised an eyebrow and shook his head.

"I'm not an idiot sweetheart." He sneered. I cringed at how cold his voice was.

"Just jump over the glass and I'll catch you." He ordered, holding out his arms. I looked at them, then at the glass, then at my bare feet and shook my head no.

"Please Hanna. I promise I won't drop you." Again I shook my head.

"Come on, it's not that big a deal! Just jump!" He yelled.

"What's going on here?" Harry asked as he suddenly appeared in the doorway.

HARRY'S POV

I looked down and saw her cowering against the sink and then the glass around her.

"Hanna are you alright?" I asked, not caring about the glass and just crunching it with my shoes as I made his way over to her. She nodded that she was okay and wrapped her arms around me in a hug. I cupped her thighs an lifted them up so she could wrap her legs around me. I felt her bury her face in my neck and I shot a glare at Keith as I passed him.

"Do you mind cleaning this up? I'm sure it won't be a problem for someone as brave as you." I mocked. He narrowed his eyes at me but nodded, making his way to the corner of the kitchen to get a broom.

I left my glass covered shoes in the kitchen and then made my way upstairs with Hanna. I carried her into my room and shut the door with my foot before laying her down on the bed.

"Are you okay baby?" I asked gently as I moved her hair from her face. She nodded but I saw her try to discretely wipe a tear from her cheek.

"What happened?"

"It was nothing. Keith just scared me for a second. He's very... Intimidating I guess." She sniffled.

"Do you need me to beat his ass for you?" I offered. She laughed but shook her head.

"That's very sweet of you, but no thank you. I can handle myself. I'm a big girl." She said with a little more confidence. I smiled at her persistence.

"Do you want to sleep in here tonight?" I offered. She nodded and took my hand in hers. I squeezed it tightly and gave her a small peck on the lips before getting up and going through my drawers.

"Harry I can go back in my room and get clothes." She pointed out.

"No way, I have the feeling you will look incredibly sexy in my sweats." I teased. She rolled her eyes and accepted the oversized tee shirt and basketball shorts. Without thinking, she started changing right in front of me, it wasn't till she was halfway through pulling the shirt over her head when she caught me staring. 

"Oh, sorry." She apologized as she pulled down the shirt. 

"Don't be sorry. I enjoyed it." I smirked. 

"Yeah, maybe a little too much." She smiled, looking down towards my pants. I could feel what she was refering to and I rolled my eyes. 

"Come on, let's just go to bed before we have to hear Gemma and Keith doing it downstairs." I said half serious. She must have picked up on my tone because she quickly crawled into bed. I climbed in after her and wrapped my arms around her waist. Just as our breathing had become even, I broke the silence. 

"Hanna, are you sure you're okay?" I heard her sigh and she turned to face me. 

"I'm sure. Just..."

"Just what baby?" 

"Just, can you try and make sure, if you can, that Keith and I aren't left alone? It's not that I don't trust him it's just that... well I guess he just kind of scares me a bit." She whimpered. I rubbed her back in soothing circles to try and keep her from crying. 

"Of course baby. I'll keep him as far away as you need. I can get him and Gemma to stay in a hotel if you want." I suggested. 

"No, no! That's fine. I don't want Gemma to get a bad impression. Just stay close to me. I like it when we're close." She smiled softly. 

"You like it huh? Do you like it when I'm this close?" I asked ducking my head down to kiss her cheek. "Or this close?" I moved my lips down and started gentley sucking her neck. "Or this close..." I moved to a spot right on the crook of her neck that made her moan my name. 

A/N Helllooo surprise quick update!! Kind of just a filler but importantish... So from the looks of the comments most of y'all want me to keep going to 100. That's totally cool, but I just wanted to let you know that at some point in the story I want to put in a time gap. I don't know how much time I'll skip but I really want one in there. Sorry I've been updating so infrequently. School has had me so busy lately. Thank you all for being patient and sticking with me. I love you all and thank you!! <3
