he doesn't want you to see him cry

Louis - He'll lock the bedroom door, leaving you leaning up against the door frame. Dozing off to the sounds of his sniffs echo through the room. "Louis, please let me in hun." You muttered once again, forehead leaning on the door with lips parted and dry from hanging open to long. "Please, it's cold out here." And that will break him. He'll crack the door just enough to let you file in and straight into his arms. "Don't ever do that again, I want to be there for you next time."

Niall - "Look at me." You sighed, pressing your pointer finger into his chin and lifting to see his pale blue eyes rimmed with tears. "Stop." He jerked his face away from you, staring down at his lap to fiddle with his finger, biting on his bottom lip to try and stop the tears. But his chin would crinkle and new droplets would cascade down his cheeks. "Baby, don't shut me out. Now you might not think its not manly to let me see you cry but I am here for you."

Harry - It's not exactly that he doesn't want you to see him cry, he doesn't want you to feel bad for him. You opened your arms for him, he glanced at you before letting himself fall into your arms. You cooed gently, one hand behind his head, tucking him into your neck and another arm rubbing along the back of his jean shirt. "I'm sorry." He sobbed into your neck, you scoffed, rubbing his back harder to try and calm him down. "Never be sorry for crying."

Liam - Banging on the bathroom door, with tears in your eyes because damn, you just wanted to see if he was okay. "Liam, don't shut me out. We are going through the same thing right now, open up." You banged on the door again, before you started to hit your head on the wood because it made your stress level decline. "I'm staying out here until you open up." You sighed, wiping your eyes with the back of your hand.

Zayn - And since you are sitting so close to him, he's not going to cry, he can't. That's embarrassing because he has to be strong, so you now how strong he can be. So, he might let only a few tears out as you wipe away every one, while keeping his hands in your lap he happens to loose it somewhere between, "I'm fine" and "I don't know what I'm doing" and while he sobs, he never looks at you, once.
