HARRY'S POV
I opened my car door and quickly went over to Niall's side so that I could open his door.
We had just arrived at Niall's parents' house for dinner.
When he got out, he smiled at me and pecked my lips because his parents were looking at us from their porch steps.
Hand-in-hand, we made our way over to them and they greeted us with hugs and smiles although Niall's dad was kinda forced.
"Oh my baby, how are you?" Maura asked Niall as she peppered his face with kisses.
Niall's face was scrunched up at the act but I could see that he was happy. The look of pure adoration on his face gave it away.
"Mum, I'm no longer a baby." Niall whined in a playful voice.
"Oh shush, you are and will always be my baby." She said and both Bobby and I chuckled at that.
She turned her head and opened her arms for me.
"Harry honey, how are you?"
"I'm okay Maura, what about yourself?" I asked her and she answered that she was okay.
After the pleasantries, she led us in the house.
"Come on in guys, food will be served in a few." Maura ushered us inside and when we were seated in the living room with Bobby, she disappeared to the kitchen.
It was silent for a while and it would have turned into an awkward one if Bobby hadn't broken it.
"So how have you been?" He asked, not directing the question to anyone specifically and I answered for the both of us when Niall had been too quiet.
"We have been fine, thank you." I told him and his expression hardened.
I saw Niall's jaw clench at the look on his father's face so I took his hand and intertwined our fingers, rubbing soothing circles with my thumb.
"Well, thats good." He muttered and Niall couldn't handle it because he stood up and headed upstairs.
"I'll go see if he's alright." I stood up but he stopped me with his words.
"You really think this marriage thing will last? I'm just concerned about my little boy and if I have to teach him the hard way so be it." He said through gritted teeth and I felt anger rush through my body.
"While you are busy 'teaching him the hard way' why don't you try accepting the fact that he is bisexual?" I almost yelled at him but I controlled myself because at the end of the day he was an elder and I had to respect him.
With that, I made my way upstairs and found Niall in his childhood bedroom lying down on the bed and looking at the celling.
"Babe?" I called as I sat down next to him.
"Why does he always have be so negative? I mean can't he just accept me so that we can move on from this hate phase?" He asked angrily.
Instead of answering I just lay down next to him and he immediately cuddled up to me.
"He'll soon come to terms with it baby, but even if he doesn't, there are a lot of other people who love and support you. Starting with me." I told him and he spotted a small smile.
We continued talking with me mostly assuring him that eventually things will turn out well. That was until Maura called us down.
"I've lost my appetite, I just wanna stay here and cuddle you." Niall said and buried his face in my neck making me chuckle.
