Hybrids {Narry & Ziam AU}

Chapter 6

Louis' POV

I heard Harry scream.

I wasn't that worried though. He was having a nightmare about the hybrids again. I knew it. The scream is always the same.

The screaming used to bug me a lot when he first started having the panic attacks, but it's been years. I'm used to it now.

I covered my head with my pillow before going back to sleep.

Harry's POV

He stared at me with the slanted eyes I've been scared of.

Shock crossed his face as he realized I spotted the pointy ears on top of his head.

"Uh..." Niall started mumbling under his breath.

I felt myself shaking harder and harder as the time ticked on.

I knew that something wasn't normal about the pair of boys, but I wouldn't have guessed this.

How did they even make it past the dome? The dome was supposed to keep the hybrids out and us in. The dome is highly charged in electricity so it is supposed to be impossible for them to get through. I've touched the dome before and let's just say, you never make that mistake twice.

"Are you ok?"

I shook my head no.

He looked at me, frowning.

Then I saw the tail flicking behind him. My heart leaped in fear.

I tried using my pillow to shield myself from him.

Great weapon, I know.

"Hey. What are you doing?" I heard Niall say.

"Am I really that scary?" I heard him whisper shortly after.

He sounded broken.

I risked looking at him.

He was kneeling by the side of my bed with his head down.

It hurt me to watch him look like that. However I felt, I still didn't have the courage to tell him to stop beating himself up.

His kind had killed my family and terrified me my whole life. I just couldn't do it.

"Should I leave you alone?" He asked, sounding on the verge of tears.

"N-no."

His head snapped up to look at me.

I saw his eyes widen.

"Are you serious?" He asked me.

I nodded.

Even though this made me highly uncomfortable, I didn't want to see his expression if I had said to leave.

A grin broke out across his face. I saw his teeth then. The canines slightly larger than the rest, with small sharp points on the ends.

I shuttered as Niall went to shut off the light.

I stayed clinging to the wall as he climbed into bed next to me.

My shaking was slowly stopping.

I heard small snores next to me so I figured Niall already fell asleep.

When I finally stopped vibrating I felt my tiredness take effect.

I never in a million years thought I would ever be within a hundred meters of a hybrid. But here I am, sleeping next to one.

I felt something wrap around my waist but I was already too far into unconsciousness to be bothered by it.

Niall's POV

A small squeak woke me up from the best night sleep I've had in a long time. Sleep had never been this comfortable before!

I rolled over to see what made the tiny noise.

I saw my tail wrapped around Harry. He just stared at it like he was to scared to touch it. He probably was.

"Sorry," I felt my face heat up as I moved my tail to wrap around me instead.

I rolled back over so he couldn't see me blushing.

The light streaming through the window told me it was morning.

I closed my eyes to go back to sleep. I like to sleep a lot.

Just as I was about to fall asleep again, I felt something touch my ear.

I shrugged it off as these ears were sometimes a bit too sensitive.

I knew it wasn't nothing when I felt it again. My ear twitched in annoyance.

This time I listened in to hear anything that might give me a clue to what was touching me. I heard nothing, however when my ear was touched again, I flipped over to see Harry with his hand in mid air.

I raised a brow at him.

"Sorry," He said, looking anywhere but me.

"It's ok. I-uh kind of like it," I muttered the last part to myself.

It was true, I liked it when people petted me.

Now it was my turn to avoid looking at him.

Harry's POV

Honestly, he looked adorable as he pouted.

He was clearly embarrassed.

I smiled a bit at him as he avoided meeting my gaze. I gained a bit of confidence as I placed my hand back behind his blonde colored ear and scratched.

His eyes looked straight at me. His pupils dilated before his eyes shut. A look of pure pleasure took over his features, making me smile.

Then he purred.

He purred.

It was the most adorable sound I've ever heard. Wanting to hear it more, I put more of an effort into it. It had the desired effect as he purred even louder.

I was melting at the noise. He pushed his head harder into my hand.

It was the cutest thing, seeing him act like this. Momentarily I had forgotten about how dangerous he was.

The moment I felt the memories of my family's death come back to me, I pulled my hand away.

He stopped purring and opened his eyes.

"Sorry," I mumbled, before getting out of the bed and leaving the room.
