Chapter 9: Christmas

*November passes...& half of Dec.*

*December 23*

Harry's POV:

We were losing hope of our boys rescuing us. We were stuck here, like it or not. We made the best of it though becoming sort of friends.

Louis hasn't called or returned any of my calls or texts & I remember being worried. I got ahold of the other boys who told me he was alive & well. I asked them why he wasn't returning my calls, but they strangely refused to answer, changing the subject. Nathan had more luck with his boys getting any answer he wanted from them.

The door opened & shut. I looked up from my face in my pillow to see Nathan. He saw me right away since the door wasn't too far away from the bed.

"Something wrong?" Nathan asked me.

"No." I said right away making him raise an eyebrow.

"Yes. Christmas is in 2 days & were still here." I admitted. I didn't mind it here, but I wished I was here with Louis more. I liked Nathan, but not in the same way as I liked Louis. Boobear.

"Maybe Kine will be nice. Take us home on Christmas Day?" Nathan said uncertain. At least he tried to cheer me up. It wasn't going to work.

Nathan sighed knowing he didn't help much.

"Lighten up Harry. We'll be back before you know it." Nathan said reaching out & rubbing my back. I noticed the bag near his feet looking over the bed.

"What's that?" I asked him. He looked over at the bag then back at me.

"This, nosey, is my Christmas present to you." Nathan said with a smile. He got me a present?! I felt guilty since he got me one & I haven't got him one. Wait a minute.

"Why did you get me a present?" I asked him.

"I don't know. I just saw something you might like in the gift shop." Nathan said with a shrug. Now I felt extra guilty. I had today & tomorrow to get him something.

*Later*

Nathan decided to take a nap after he came back & I waited until he was 30 minutes into his nap to leave. I looked in the gift shop for a couple minutes & got him a Surin Islands mug for his tea. He seemed to drink that daily. He made me a cup that day I got sunburnt. Best cup ever...

"Just the mug?" The cashier asked me. I nodded. He put the mug in a similar brown bag. Nathan must have got me something here. I paid & left going outside.

I just got him a mug. I felt like he needed something else. I was the depressed one declining any offer of his for us to do something together. I realized that if we bonded enough we may have been able to go home earlier, but I was too busy trying to get Louis to call me.

I walked towards a guy wearing the hotel's uniform to ask a question. I could probably repay Nathan's attempts at doing something together.

Nathan's POV:

I slept through out until the next day until Harry woke me up the next morning.

"Think you can make some of your special tea?" Harry asked looming over my face. He woke me up for tea? It felt like I was still at home with the boys. I swung my legs over my side of the bed & went over to the small kitchen to make him a cup.
