Chapter 37: Already Home

"CALM DOWN NIALL BEFORE YOU START SHITTEIN KITTINS!!" Harry stops walking across the cabin, screaming this with his hands up a big and straining. "I cant---I have to--What if---ASDFGHJKL!!!" Niall responds, making himself drop onto the ground like a starfish. "I am the worst kind of brother." Niall mutters, his eyes closed. Harry rolls his eyes and walks over to the back of the couch, lifting his foot over it and placing his hand on the arm rest for support. He takes his other leg over the couch and sits down with one leg bend and one leg bent up. He puts his fingers together and looks at Niall on the floor. "And how do you feel about that?" Harry asks like a therapist would. "Stupid."

"Mm-hm. I'll make sure to note that under Giving A Fuck." Harry fixes his grey beanie a bit and looks back at the door. Someone had knocked on it. Harry, in his grey sweats, white t-shirt and red Christmas socks with white polka dots and grey tips, hair down and un-styled, gets up from the couch and answers it. "Hey, Max." Harry smiles. "Hey, I found Niall's paper?" Max holds it up for proof. Niall's eyes shoot open and he scrambles up, running and sliding over to the door in his socks. "Are you serious?!" Niall asks, looking at the paper. 'Um, I would hope so?" Niall snatches the paper from Max's hand and opens it, seeing the number and the photo. Niall smiles and lets out a noise of pure relief. "Thank you SO much!!" Niall grabs Max's face and kisses his cheek roughly, making Max step back and put his hands on Niall's arm to push him away ever slightly.

Max makes a face of 'what the hell' and shock when Niall pulls away, going away to call his dear brother Greg. Harry puts his hand on Max's shoulder and looks him in the eyes. "I am so, sorry." Max looks at Harry as if he could explain why Niall felt the need to kiss his cheek, but Harry instead closes the door to leave marked scarred.

"Where did you find it?" Niall yells out the door as Max is walking to his own cabin. "By the cafe." Niall nods and smiles at Max. "Thank you, really." Max nods and waves Niall off.

"What do you want for Christmas?" Harry asks Niall from sitting on the couch an hour later. Niall shrugs. "I don't know."

"Think about it."

"I don't know." Niall repeats. "Everyone wants something."

"Besides you..." Harry rolls his eyes. "Money for my Mum." Niall admits truthfully. Harry nods, twiddling his fingers. "Should we decorate the three?" Harry asks, remembering the tree they keep in the basement, since they mostly come in the Winter. "Yes!!" Niall smiles at the information that they have a Christmas and jumps up, following Harry outside and to the side of the cabin, opening the door on the side of the house that has concrete steps leading into the mysterious basement. Harry flicks on the light switch that sits on the wall, but it doesn't work. "Damn." Harry mutters, walking around Niall to go look some flashlights.

Harry returns with only one, giving it to Niall and will be using his phones flashlight. "I think it's in the back." Harry says, taking the lead and scanning the pitch black room even though the flashlight can't show them everything.

Harry and Niall have taken ten minutes in trying to find the Christmas tree, getting distracted by things Harry remembers or Niall is curious about. "FOUND IT!" Harry announces, making Niall drop the book he was holding and walks over to Harry once he finds him. They each hold one end of the box and carry it all the way back inside the cabin.

Harry and Niall take the next hour putting together the tree and hanging the few ornaments and lights on it, spying on each other through the branches. Niall's trying to put the star on the top when he hears a gun shot, scaring him and almost falling on the tree. But he balances himself out, looking at the door and the windows, as is Harry. "What the fuck was that?" Harry asks. Niall gets down the two step ladder and moves the curtain, looking out to the snow in front of them. He can see the cafe and man dressed in all black running from it with a bag. "I think the cafe just got robbed.." Niall scrunches his face up. He needed glasses when he was younger, and maybe he needs them again now.

Harry comes up behind Niall and looks out the window too, watching the thief get on a four wheel and start driving past the cabins. People are freaking out inside the cafe. Harry's guessing someone got shot, and Niall is heading for the door and running past the two cabins to the left of there's before he can see down the hill where the criminal is planning to escape. Harry follows him, both of them only in socks. "Where's Max?" Niall asks when he see's his snow mobile is not parked next to his cabin like he's seen a few times everyday. Harry looks where it's normally parked and then back down the hill, leaning a bit to see me more. "He's at that art building he teaches at." Harry says, thinking over the directions of where it is and where the thief is riding off to.

"That's just at the bottom of the hill.." Niall reminds the both of them. They both look back to the hill, and if they stand on their tip toes and walk a bit further, they can see the small grey building at the bottom of the hill, right in the direction the four wheeler is going.
