This Is Forever (Narry AU - Sequel to I'll Be There)

Chapter Ten

Niall rolled over from where he had been lying on his back to lay on his side. The storm was still raging on outside and the clatter of the rain had woke Niall up. While he tried to get comfortable, he bumped his head into something. His eyes flew up and they were greeted by Harry's green ones staring back at him.

''Why are you awake?'' Niall whispered and shuffled closer to Harry's body.

''Couldn't sleep,'' Harry mumbled quietly, not meeting Niall's eyes.

''What's wrong?'' Niall sat up a bit and brushed Harry's curls out of his face.

''Nothing,'' Harry murmered, even softer than the last time, curling into himself.

''You can tell me, babe,'' Niall dropped his hand to Harry's arm and he felt his tense muscles underneath his fingertips.

''J-Just a bit... you know,'' Harry answered vaguely, his eyes glued to the ground. A flash of lightning lit up the entire tent followed by a loud thunderclap. Harry unconsiously gripped at Niall's shirt, feeling his heart beat loudly in his chest.

''Aw, is my little Hazzy scared of the storm?'' Niall cooed, entwining his fingers with Harry's.

''No,'' Harry whispered unsure, tucking his face into Niall's neck and gripping at his waist. He shut his eyes tightly and breathed in Niall's intoxicating scent.

''That's okay, I'll protect you from the big bad storm,'' Niall breathed out, stifling his laugh into Harry's skin.

''Don't make fun of me,'' Harry warned, trying to sound tough but squealing when another thunderclap made the ground vibrate.

''You're too cute,'' Niall gushed, making Harry blush. He wrapped his arms around Harry's body and pulled him closer. He felt Harry shake in fear and he started to feel bad for teasing him. As a way of apologizing, Niall wrapped the duvet tightly around them like a little cocoon and kissed the skin he could reach.

''You're safe here, Haz, I got you,'' he whispered soothingly, wanting to make Harry feel better. Niall felt Harry wrap his arms tightly around his waist, basically gluing their bodies together. He rubbed his cheek against Harry's lovingly and heard Harry hum in appreciation.

''Night,'' Harry's words were muffled from where he had his face pressed into the skin of Niall's neck but Niall managed the hear them.

''Goodnight, lovebug,'' he whispered back, closing his eyes and drifting away to the land full of dreams about HarryHarryHarry.

"Niall," Harry shook Niall's shouders, trying to wake him up gently.

"What's wrong, love," Niall cracked his eyes open to look at his boyfriend.

"Sorry, I tried to go to sleep but I really, really have to pee," Harry gasped, his hands flying to his crotch to make clear that he really had to wee.

"Then go to the toilet," Niall answered, his eyes slipping closed again.

"Niaaall, you know I'm too scared to go alone," Harry muttered in a whiney voice.

"I know," Niall smirked. "I just wanted to hear you say it."

"Just come with me," Harry pleaded.

"Of course, I wouldn't let you go alone." Niall got up and searched for some clothes, throwing them on before climbing over Eleanor, Louis and Liam's sleeping bodies. Harry followed suit and slipped his hand in Niall's.
