Slave for you - Narry

Chapter 4

"So tell me, what part of Ireland are you from?" Louis inquired while poking at Niall's cheek. The boy simply smacked his hand away and continued to eat his breakfast. It was the delicious aroma of bacon that had finally coaxed him out of the bathroom. "Oh come on! Give me something!" Louis was a pure-bred gossip queen. He needed to know everything about everyone, thrived on secret information.

"Alright, you wanna know something?" Niall spoke quietly, leaning closer to Louis. Eagerly nodding his head my best friend came closer, ears at attention. "I really hate nosey people." Louis pulled back with a hmph and crossed his arms, shooting me a glare when I began to laugh.

"Sorry Lou, but you deserved that."

"Did not, God forbid I want a little information about the boy who's living with my best mate! He could be a serial killer for all you know!"

"Then I guess you'd better leave before he kills us both, save yourself!" I said heading over to open the door.

"Oh no I'm not-" He stopped when his phone buzzed. After looking down at the screen his face immediately lit up. "It's Zayn! He wants me to come over! I must say it really has been fun fellas but I must be off!"

"Who's Zayn?" came the voice with an Irish lilt that still gave me shivers.

"Louis latest boy-toy."

"He is not a boy-toy! We're just really good friends is all."

"Who like to suck each others cocks." I retorted

"Well can you blame me? Have you seen the guy? He's an Adonis!' Louis exclaimed throwing his arms in the air wildly. Always one for dramatics.

"What's an Adonis?" Niall asked quietly and I glanced over at him. His cheeks were tinged pink, probably embarrassed by his lack of knowledge.

"Adonis was a Greek god who was known for being an absolute babe with perfect features and killer cheekbones, so I'm pretty sure Zayn is his reincarnation." Louis said matter-of-factly.

"Yes that's all well and good but you don't want to keep your Greek god waiting, he just might smite you." I said trying to get Louis out the door.

"I sure hope so, the man is an animal when I've kept him waiting too long. Perhaps you'd like to join us?" Louis turned to Niall with a seductive look in his eyes. I've never seen someone turn such a bright shade of red.

"Alright Lou time to go. Now." I walked over and dragged Louis up by the arms, not stopping until he was out the door.

"But I-" He was cut off by the door in his face.

"I'm sorry Niall," I sighed "He can be a bit..."

"Intrusive?"

"Sure, we'll go with that." I laughed. Intrusive was being kind.

"Harry? Can umm.. can you.." I waited patiently for him to say what was on his mind. I knew how hard it was hard for him to ask for help. "Can you tell me more about the um Greek gods Louis was talking about? I don't know what those are. " He didn't look at me the entire time he spoke, instead finding an unrelenting interest in the pattern of the carpet.

"Sure." I replied calmly, hiding the jolt of excitement what came with him actually asking me for help with something. "I think I've actually got something over here that can help" I turned towards the book case and sifted through the covers giving him a moment to collect his wounded pride. After finding what I wanted, I walked over and sat next to him on the couch. Not too close, but close enough that I could smell the shampoo in his hair from his earlier shower. "You see the gods were kind of like people only they were immortal. They all had a special ability too, it's how the Greeks and romans explain everything that happens on earth." I began flipping through the pages that held countless gods and goddesses. "As you can see, each one was unique and-"
