Chapter 25 -

Nothing Gold Can Stay:

Nature's first green is gold,

Her hardest hue to hold.

Her early leaf's a flower;

But only so an hour.

Then leaf subsides to leaf,

So Eden sank to grief,

So dawn goes down to day

Nothing gold can stay.

- Robert Frost (aka the poem from The Outsiders)

•••

"You're going to make me sap up to you and cry if you tell things like stay gold." I murmur.

"I think you really should stay gold, though." Niall whispers.

I give him a shy smile. "Can I ask you something?"

"Anything."

"I didn't understand that poem." I mumble. "I don't understand the poem from The Outsiders, I mean. What does it mean to stay gold? I got everything except that."

"Well Ponyboy was surrounded by all that violence and terrible lifestyle but he was a nice, smart, pure kid. The poem means to stay pure and innocent and true to yourself."

"Why did you stay it to me?"

Niall cups my face in his hands. "Because you're this sweet guy that's been thrown into the real world, and been given things you don't deserve. You're a good person surrounded by so many bad things." Niall whispers. "I'm basically telling you to stay pure, innocent and you. Because right now, you're gold, Harry Styles."

I stare at him, searching for words.

"Don't forget it." Niall adds with a small smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.

I kiss him so fast it hurts my head from the movement.

Niall being Niall smirks as he kisses me back, his hands never leaving my face.

"You're so lovely," Niall grins, pulling away.

"Stop saying nice things about me," I whine, "It's overwhelming."

"You love it, stop pretending you don't, princess."

"Stop calling me princess." I pout.

"I would if I could but its true." Niall grins. "You're a princess, my princess."

"Oi, don't go around claiming me. I'm my own person, thank you very much."

Niall laughs. "I bet you are."

"And can I ask you something else?"

"What is it?"

"When the police find you what will really happen?"

"I told you." He replies.

"And what exactly did you tell me, Niall Horan?" I tilt my head.

"I'll tell them I forced you to keep me, as I said before."

"I don't think a very smart criminal would let their hostage go to work and enjoy their everyday life, don't you think?"

"They won't care how they find me at the end of the day, as long as they have me."

"You won't let them find you though, right?"

Niall stays silent, averting his gaze from me to the wall.

"Right?" I press. "You aren't really going to let the police find you first and take you away?"

"All great things come to an end," He whispers. "Except for you. You can live your life to the fullest, happy and smiley everyday. With or without me."

"I prefer with you, Niall." I murmur, furrowing my eyebrows in the slightest way.

"You're already attached to me? All I did was kiss you."

"You full-on manhandled me, made out with me, slept in my bed, spooned against my will, asked me to be your boyfriend, and you touched my butt."

"Why was me touching your butt the deal-breaker?"

"Excuse me, Niall?" I scoff. "I don't know where you come from but here you don't touch people's butt's unless you want to be kicked in your crowned jewels."

"You didn't kick my jewels though?" Niall raises an eyebrow.

"I didn't kick you because who is more likely to win in a fight between me and you?"

"If you hit me in the right places..." Niall teases.

"You make everything sound like a sexual innuendo." I laugh, "You could literally say your petting Charlie and it would sound sexual."

Niall laughs, "I told you in the store we got trapped in, I'm a kinky kind of guy."

"What kind of kinks?" I tease.

Niall leans in towards my face. "A princess, handcuffs and a few ropes. Do the math, babe."

Oh. Wait--

Oh my.
