Harry looked out the window of his car. It was a wet day, and he was starting to re-think his idea. He had a meeting to go to today, and it was important, but Harry was starting to think that maybe Niall wouldn't like it. Ever since Harry and Niall became boyfriends, Harry has been a lot more cautious with his decisions. 

Harry felt as if every choice he made, affected Niall. And he didn't want that. He didn't want Niall to become suddenly famous for Harry's actions. He didn't want Niall to be famous for Harry's mistakes, for his mishaps. He wanted Niall to be known as a lovely guy, as Harry's husband even, not some random guy he slept with, as the media would defiantly put it, anything to get a story. Get a headline. Make Harry seem like a bad boy. When in reality, he was a nice boy, and he did care about people. About Niall.

"Um.. a mister Harry Styles?" Josh timidly asked, not really sure how to address Harry, now that he actually has to talk to him. 

Sure, he made jokes with Zayn about Harry to Niall, but now he had to speak to him.. 

"Yep." Harry smiled, standing up from the makeshift chair. 

"Right this way." 

Niall sighed. Harry had gone out and left Niall here alone with Louis. Not that he was complaining, it was a Tuesday, which meant no classes and only work this afternoon, he would take the shift after Josh so that he could go home and Niall would work with Zayn. But he had a whole 5 hours to himself, since he started at 3 o'clock and it just hit 10 o'clock in the morning. 

"Good morning Mister Horan, can I interest you in some late breakfast?" Louis timidly asked the sleepy blonde that stumbled out of Harry's master bedroom. 

"Yes please, Lou." Niall responded with a yawn and a stretch before manoeuvring his way to the couch and turning on the television. 

"Any preferences?" Louis asked as he washed his hands and opened the cupboards. But Niall wasn't paying attention to him. Sighing, Louis pulled out ingredients for waffles and the maker. At least he knows that Niall likes these. 

As Louis made the delicious doughy treats, he watched Niall and his reactions to the television. Could Harry finally want to settle down with this boy? Screw that, settle down at all? 

"Louis, I can feel you staring." Niall said aloud, making Louis jump just a little bit. 

"Sorry Mister Horan, I mean Niall, I am only trying to figure out something as I make breakfast." Louis said, trying to explain himself. 

"So ya need to stare at me as you figure it out?" Niall questioned, turning away from the television and facing Louis, his black uniform standing out like a sore thumb in the white kitchen. 

"It’s about Mr Styles." Louis compromised, returning his gaze to the waffle batter. 

"What about Harry?" Niall asked, turning the television off now and focusing on Louis. 

"It's just... I've never seen him like this before with anyone, he's always been quiet, reserved, only one night stands that mean nothing to him. He's only really been with one guy before as a one night stand, and here you are, practically living here, so it makes me question if he wants to actually settle down with you." Louis concluded, making Niall squirm in his seat. 

"Do you mind if he settles down with me?" Niall asked, feeling a little awkward in doing so. 

"No not at all, I think you're great for him... his Father on the other hand..." Louis trailed off realising that it was his place to say any more about the matter.
