This Is More Than A Bromance: Larry Stylinson

Chapter 8

I felt my face heat up as Harry looked over at me curiously.

"Oh, ignore him he's a-" I was cut off by Niall walking back in with a smirk on his little face.

"What? I'm a what, Lou? A sexy beast? Why thanks, love you too!" He started giggling, and then left Harry and I once again.

I shook my head in confusion and chuckled, what a strange leprechaun he is...

"So, Lou? You don't, erm, fancy Niall, right?" Harry asked me, both looking and sounding very worried.

Oh God, if only he knew who I fancied! Instead of saying this out loud I just smiled and shook my head 'no'.

"Come on sweet cheeks, time for lunch!" I said to Harry, grabbing his hand and leading him downstairs.

As soon as we walked in all of the conversation stopped. My eyebrows went up in surprise; they were keeping secrets!

Harry seemed to realize this as well. "What the hell, guys?" he asked, he sounded angry but I knew that he was really just hurt.

(He doesn't like secrets, especially not ones that are about him. So if he ever found out about me, he'd probably hate me).

Liam just sort of shrugged and went back to making everyone lunch while Niall and Zayn looked at each other guiltily; meaning that something is definitely going on.

"Niall? I thought I could trust you mate... What's up?" I said, trying my best to make him feel guilty.

It must have worked, because his eyes widened and he did his best to reassure me. "N-nothing, we were just talking about you and... um, Harry?" He mumbled, the last part sounding like a question.

Before I could say think of an appropriate response, Harry flipped out...

"WHAT? Why?! I swear I'm notc I don't, I... Ugh just mess off guys!" He shouted, before running out of the kitchen. What the hell?

"Seriously, guys, look what you did!" I growled out, running off after Harry. I know I should be been more upset with Harry than anything, but he probably thought they were talking about him being gay, when in reality, I'm the gay one.

I found him in our room, on the phone. When I walked in though, he hung up rather quickly, not even saying good bye.

"You okay lad? Don't let them bother you, they honestly didn't mean anything by it!" I told him, trying to both defend the other lads and let him know that I was on his side.

He hesitated a moment before saying "Yeah... I'm fine, listen can we cancel our hanging out today? I want to be with Caroline, I, um feel really bad..." He said, a bit awkwardly.

For a moment, I couldn't breathe. I know he doesn't like me, but I was starting to think that in time things would change; especially after we talked about an almost date. I guess not. Still, I want him to be happy, that's my top priority.

"Sure, we can hang out any other time, whatever." I told him, although I wasn't even bothering to make it seem like I was okay with it. Damn it, I wanted him to like me!

He just nodded gratefully and told me he was gonna go pick her up now, before walking out and leaving me alone. Great. When I was positive that he had left I ran downstairs and into Niall's room where he was pacing back and forth.

"DAMN IT NIALL! Harry won't even hang out with me anymore... he wants Caroline!" I mumbled, my anger soon fading away into an uncontrollable sadness.

Niall quickly came over to me and gave me a big hug, repeating that things would be okay. And I had no choice but to believe him. After that we just lay on his bed; both of us way too wrapped up in our own thoughts for conversation.

All of a sudden Niall sat up, "GAY CLUBS!!" He yelled excitedly.

My eyes widened. "Niall, you're gay?!" I asked, a bit shocked. I was pretty sure he liked women, but I dunno, he is really close to Liam? Poor Zayn, he's only close with himself.

Niall just blushed. "That's not what I meant!" (He totally avoided my question). "What I meant was you should find a gay guy and bring him home, make our darling Hazza jealous!!"

I thought everything over for a moment, before nodding. "Good idea mate, but I love Harry; I don't even know that I'm gay... It could just be Harry, y'know?" I wondered aloud.

He nodded after a second. "So? This could end up being the perfect opportunity for you to find out! I think that this will change everything for you and Harry."

In the end I agreed, although I couldn't help but think that this could end up changing everything for the worse...
