The Enemy. {Hathan Stykes}

C;23 - Daddy.

That evening whilst Nathan was having a reunion with Niall, a great friend to both him and Harry, a small olive toned toddler with messy brown curls on his head came running towards the happy pair. Nathan was confused as to why Niall wasn't freaking out as much as he was; then it hits him. This is Harry's child. This is the love of his child's child. With big brown eyes that made Nathan's heart which was trying to become like stone, swell with love for this stranger. Maybe it was because this boy was the cutest child he had ever seen in his life; or maybe because he was Harry child. I guess it was a bit of both.

"Uncle Ni, who's your fwend? Luke thinks he knows your fwend." the little boy was frowning lightly while staring at me. I feel like he was trying to see straight through me, to suss me out. I don't think he knows me, I didn't know he existed him if it wasn't for today. If I saw him I wouldn't ever dream of him to be Harry's kid. Never. 

"Um, Luke Styles this is my friend from school, Nathan Sykes. You can call him Uncle Nath. He's nice." i would think that a kid would feel weary around a stranger but he wraps his chubby little arms around my legs an squeezes them as a hug. Gosh?

"Hello! Luke has seen your face before, Uncle Nath. Baba would know your face." Baba? What is he on about? Is that his stuffed teddy or something? I will feel so bad if it's a name of a person; what was wrong with their parents if they picked that name for their child?! They must've hated the baby or were extremely drunk at the time.

"Baba is Harry by the way." Niall informs me quietly before focusing back on Luke, "yes you know Uncle Nath, because he is famous on the TV and on the radio as well. He is also, um.. one of Baba's friends too. A very close friend to baba." Niall glances a me for a split second as he sees my expression hardening slightly, at the fact that Harry and I were once close friends. That changed though because of my stupid decision of us needing space. I was so stupid. The worst decision in my life, on the list before me becoming friends with Tom Max and Jay. 

"That is how Luke knows you! Luke sees your pictures in Baba's phone and picture booklet!" Luke was grinning at me, showing me his baby teeth and I couldn't help but crack a smile at this over excited child. He instantly is close to me even though he doesn't know me. It's crazy. He isn't at all like how I was when I was his age.

"Lovely. Well, it was a pleasure meeting you Luke. And um, Niall it was great to catch up with you again, you look after yourself. I have to go now." I don't actually, I just don't want to ruin the happy family where it's awkward with me in the middle. I'm a needle in the haystack, the Justin Bieber in a room full of rappers, I don't belong with these two when I'm clearly the third wheel.

Just before I was about to go I felt someone grab onto my leg suddenly, preventing me from moving any further. I turned around curiously to see Luke frowning up at me, "Do not leave Luke. We are fwends now Uncle Nath. You can not leave." he tells me and I almost let out an 'aww' split out my mouth. That wouldn't be clever. I need to be stronger though 

"Umm-"

"-yeah, stay Nath. Why do you have to go anyway? I heard you've got time off for a while. It's good to be away from the spot light for a while-especially after all that drama. Just take a break; come over to our house. It would be amazing!" Now the last thing I need is to be in a room with Harry, and having to face him again after the last meeting. I shouldn't have overreacted like that but for some reason I just felt almost betrayed by him even though he had done nothing morally wrong; only fell in love.
