Eyes on Me (Larry/Nouis)

CHAPTER 18

Chapter 18 - I Saw You

RECAP OF CHAPTER 17-

"Sure mate. What on your mind?" Niall asks sweetly. Harry motions for us to sit on the couch and we do. The fake nervousness is still present but their something else there too. I just don't know what it is.

"I um.... don't really know how to put this..." Harry says scratching the back of his neck.

"What is it Haz?" When I say Haz the fake nervousness disappears and he just looks determined and angry. Why?

"Well, umm erm well erm I heard you last night. I umm know you guys are together." Harry says. 

And that's when I fainted.

Louis's POV

I open my eyes and find two strong arms wrapped around me. I look up and see Niall holding on to me, gripping me as if I was falling. Falling? His back is hunched over me and his eyes are squeezed shut. 

Then I remeber.

Shit. 

"Niall..." I say trying to get him to let me up. I see that he is holding me mid air in the middle of the living room, as if we were dancing and he dipped me. 

"Louis? LOUIS!? Oh thank god! You passed out for about fifteen seconds! It was so scary!" Then he pulls me to my feet and into his arms. He squeezes me so tight I can't breath, but he feels so good that I don't care. 

"I'm fine Ni. I'm fine. " I reassure him. He seems to calm down a little, but he doesn't release me, and frankly, I am okay with that.

"Ehem?" I hear and then I jerk away from Niall when I realize we are not alone.

Harry is standing right in front of the coffee table, watching is with distaste evident on his face. 

"Harry, um you were saying something?" I say. I really don't want him to continue but this is making me incredibly awkward.

"Yeah... Well I know you guys are a um couple." He says flatly. I don't know why this annoys me so much, but it does. Why is he being so blunt and insensitive? He stand there, his hands stuffed in his pockets, casually looking at us as if he isn't ruining our perfect little secret.

"Listen Harry..." Niall begins but trails off. I don't know what to say either so we all just sort of stare at each other. 

Then something clicks in my head, and I know exacatly what to do.

I reach next to me and grab on to Niall's hand. I intertwine our fingers and smile at Harry, not breaking our eye contact. His face falls when I gripped Niall's hand, but I don't care.

"Yeah Harry. We're in love. And we're together, but we just don't want to come out yet. Please, don't tell anyone yet? I mean your our best mate, I hope you understand how important this is to me. I haven't felt like this in so long and... I don't want anything to ruin it. Just please let us do this at our own pace? Please Harry?" I plead with him. Tears stream down my face slowly as I plead with him. He doesn't answer at first, so I turn to Niall and see that his face is lit us like a Christmas tree. He isn't smiling, but his eyes are so bright with happiness and pride that I just want to jump him right now. Somehow I don't believe that would help my case with Harry though...

"Of course mates, yeah congradulations. Just quiet down maybe? And cool it on the PDA? Your making it pretty easy to be er discovered." He says with a chuckle. 

That whole sentence was so obviously forced, especially the congratulations and the laugh, but I'm so happy he is going to keep our secret that I don't care. I turn to Niall and wrap my arms around his quickly, before tunring to Harry and literally tackling him to the ground. I give him the biggest bear hug that I don't know how he can still breathe. I have my arms wrapped tightly around his waist, my body on top of his, as we lay on the floor.
