Catch me if you can [NARRY AU]

Chapter five

When we arrived home I went straight to my bedroom. I needed to make an assignment for sociology but I also needed to think and the best way I could do that is when I was alone.

I walked into my room and changed into some sweatpants. I took my books from my bag and took a seat behind my desk, but as soon as my butt met the chair I started to think about today.

Well, I started to think mostly about Niall.

That kid was something. He knew no shame. That was so fascinating to me. I always knew shame. When I walked down the hall, people would always stare at me. Not in a bad way, people where always nice to me, but still, the feeling that I was being watched made my cheeks go red.

When Niall walked into the classroom this morning, all I could think was how beautiful he was. People said he was a bad boy, and yeah, maybe he wasn't your typical student, but he wasn't bad. At least, not that I knew.

Why was he kicked out of his old school again?

Oh right. Zayn had a teacher made him like him. But why was Niall kicked out too?

I realised I didn't know much about Niall, I didn't even know how old he was, for example. Still I was thinking about him like a freshman girl who liked someone she had no chance with.

Did I have a chance with Niall? I mean, he did say he wanted to sleep with me, so he must have some interest in me, right?

Yeah only your dick, Harry, the voice in my head said.

Probably, the voice was right. He only wanted a good fuck, that was all. He didn't know me, not at all. He wasn't interested.

It pained me to admit this to myself, that he only wanted to have sex with me. And I was shocked that it 'pained' me. I wasn't supposed to be in pain for a boy I barely knew.

He was just messing around. Nothing more. But two could play a game.

I made a promise to myself that I wouldn't act like I did today whenever Niall was around. If he wanted to mess with me, I would mess with him too.

Not that I knew how.

I mean, before I knew I was gay, I dated a few girls, but it never lasted long. I never had a boyfriend and I wasn't the flirty type. I wasn't shy, but I would never dare what Niall does to people. But I could always try.

I just mustn't act so desperate, because that was exactly what I did today. I sucked up every inch of attention he was giving to me, and let him know I liked his attention, too. I can't let him have control over me. That would break me.

I was afraid of heartbreak. I never experienced it, for I only dated girls when I was attracted to humans with a dick. I only saw heartbreak one time.

With Liam.

Even though Liam didn't came out at school, he had some boyfriends. But one in particular made him break. It was the worst thing I've ever seen. He was so..

Liam became a body with no soul. Everything he did, he did on automatic pilot. He was a human with no emotion. He did everything he was supposed to do, but it wasn't the same. He ate, he went to school, he took showers. But he didn't sleep. He didn't speak. It lasted three months. Three whole months before he spoke.

Sometimes he still has nightmares about the break-up.

It hurt me to see Liam like that. Lou and I didn't know what to do, so we just let him be. And if he needed us, we would be there. Because we love him.

Luckily, that's in the past. But I wasn't planning on going through the heartbreak Liam went through. Therefore, I needed to protect myself.

I got out of my thinking daze when my head started to hurt and tried to focus on my assignment. It wasn't hard, for sociology was something I had talent for, as a teacher once said to me.

But still, I couldn't concentrate. Some fresh air might help, I thought to myself. So I walked to my window and opened it, letting my head hang out of it for a while. I went back to my desk and tried again. I got a little done when my mind started to wander on his own.

Great.

I got up with the idea I needed to do some push-ups. Maybe that will help.

After fifty push-ups - yeah I counted sue me - I went to my desk and tried for the millionth time to focus.

When I was done with the assignment - finally - I heard my phone buzz. I grabbed and opened what was a text.

Niall.

Shit. What should I do?

Well maybe you should read what he texted, dumbass, the voice in my head said.

Oh right.

Sexiest man alive: hi babe, so I was totally thinking about you while jacking off.

What the fuck.

I chocked on my own spit -Niall seemed to have that effect on people - and thought about this. What does this even mean. What does he want from me?

I was also - well mostly - shocked about his forwardness.

Still, what the fuck.

I decided to text back.

Harry: well youre gonna keep it by thoughts about me, sweetcheeks

I went downstairs, my phone I left on my desk.


In our living room I was met by Liam who was staring at his phone, blushing. I plopped next to him.

"Why are you blushing?" I asked like I was a five year old.

"I'm not blushing" he said, blushing even more.

"But you do" I teased.

"Shut up" Liam mumbled.

I chuckled and tried to look on his screen to see who he was texting.

"Fuck off, Haz" he laughed, gently but firmly pushing me away.

"Fine" I whined.

I walked to the kitchen where Louis was making diner.

With three college guys in the house, you would think we were living like animals, but that wasn't true at all. We always cooked for ourselves, made sure the house was clean, did laundry and the dishes, that kind of stuff. Would Niall do that too? I shook my head and stood next to Louis.

"Hi Lou, what are you making?" I asked.

"Risotto" he said. Louis always talked but when he was concentrated, like now, his answers were rather short.

I needed my mind of Niall but my friends weren't much of a help so I decided to watch telly while waiting for diner.


After fourty-five minutes of watching absolutely nothing, Louis screamed diner was ready. Liam and I quickly made the table and ate. We ate in silence for I while, which I didn't mind, but Louis wanted to talk.

"So Liam, texting with Zayn eh" he said, wiggling his eyebrows.

"No" blushing Liam tried.

"Liar, we all know you are texting Zayn" Louis snorted.

"So what if I am" Liam defended himself.

"Nothing, just be careful" Louis said, his mood changed to seriousness.

He turned to me.

"You too Haz"

I understood him. Liam understood him too, the look on his face told me.

"I will" I said, my voice weaker than I attended to.

I remembered my promise.

If I wouldn't fall, Niall couldn't catch me.
