**No POV**

"Hey, Frank." Niall greets Frank with a smile when he see's the family friend walk through the door as if he been living here with the Horan's all his life. "Hey Niall. Why are you sleeping on the couch?" Frank stands in front of Niall, waiting for his answer. "Harry's sleeping in my bed." Niall exhales. "Harry? That lad from the Sliced?" Niall nods. Niall peeks open his eyes when Frank is silent, laughing when he see's Frank's facial expression. "We're dating now." Niall turns onto his back so he can lay on his other side, facing the back of the couch. "Awwwwww goo'job mate! He's a good lookin' lad." Frank playfully pokes Niall's shoulder as he shimmied past him.

"Why are you here?" Niall asks, not in a harsh way. "Your Mum and I are going out. There's a concert of an artist you hate in Mullingar." When Niall hear's how he wouldn't be interested in it, he lets his head plop back down and he goes back to sleep. "You're leaving now?" Niall mumbles against the couch. "Nuh uh. We're leaving at noon." Niall nods and listens to Frank pound up the steps.

Harry has just woken up thirty minutes apart from Niall, and ten minutes later Niall is outside of the door. "Harry?" He whispers, knocking lightly on the door. Harry opens his eyes from resting and watches the door creak open. Niall peeks in and smiles at Harry when he see's him looking at him. "Need any pills?" Niall smirks a bit. Harry nods and Niall leaves to go get them. He comes back with only one crutch, the other hand holding a glass of water and two white pills.

Niall sits down next to Harry on the bed against the wall while Harry downs the medicine with half the glass of water. "I'm sorry." Harry starts after facing Niall once laid back down. Niall just kisses Harry. Niall doesn't care if Harry got drunk and came to his house. He cares more that Harry didn't drive himself here.

"So, um, every year we go camping but we can't do it this year, but I still really want to do it, soooo...when my foot is all better, would you come with me? Liam, Zayn and Louis too?" Niall asks nervously, ashamed that he'll be asking them to pitch in because he barely has enough money for himself. "Really?" Harry leans up on his elbow with a smile. Niall nods. "But, uhm, I don't really have quite enough for myself, even, so, you have to pay for your guys' self?" Niall bites his lip, hoping Harry won't get mad that Niall invited him and he can't pay for him.

"Of course I'll go with you." Harry smiles, caressing Niall's cheek and bending down to kiss him.

"Oh, come on, that's just ---- Niall have some class." Both boys pull away at Frank's voice, Frank standing in the open doorway with his hands on his hips. "Can I help you, Frank?" Niall asks, a bit of his cheeks tinted pink. "There's a spider on the ceiling in your Mum's room." Niall makes a face. "Fine." Niall gets up over Harry and uses one crutch to help him down the hallway to his Mum's room. "Right there." Mum points when she see's her son wobble into the room. "Why don't you kill it Frank?!" Niall asks, looking at Sarge laying on the bed eyeing the spider. It's a pretty big spider, which makes Niall scared of it.

"You think I'm gonna kill that?!" Frank points to the spider. "You think I'M gonna kill it?!" Niall shoots back. "HARRY!" NIall yells. Harry's been standing in the hallway, though, watching. "Will you kill it?" Niall asks. Harry smirks and shakes his head, holding his hands up as if not to look at him and backs away some. "Here ya go, son." Maura smirks, handing Niall a wad of paper towels. "I'm crippled." Niall's last attempt of getting out of killing the spider fails. "And I'm so sorry about that." Maura puts her hand on Niall's shoulder, pushing him toward the bed.

Niall makes a noise of fear and regret as he climbs onto the bed. Everyone thats in the house ---Maura, Frank, Harry and Sarge---crowd into the room to watch the second oldest get the large spider from the ceiling. "Do it fast mate." Frank encourages, getting a glare from Niall. Niall keeps his back bent as he hesitantly reaches up to the ceiling, imagining him grabbing the spider and killing it but not being able to do it physically. The spider moves a little on the wall from Niall's hand and Niall screams, falling onto the bed and rolling off of it. He hops over to his family and gets in the middle of them. "It fucking moved." Niall whispers. "Sarge, go get that spider." Frank directs the sheep dog, who just stares at Frank. "Okay, I'll try. For you." Harry whispers the last part to Niall as he takes the paper towels from him. Niall grins and thanks Harry when he hands Niall his crutch from when he jumped off the bed.
