You’re My Everlasting Light

Chapter 5

Niall believed in something called The Harry Affect.

Harry had this vibe to him. He was approachable, and beautiful, and smart. He made women do double takes, and men wanted to be him. Even if you didn’t know his name, or he himself, he somehow just lighted up your day.

Niall had experienced the Harry Affect several times. Like the first time they met. Niall couldn’t help but just stare. And stare, and then stare. Then he stared some more.

The second time they met, Niall was breath taken. He tried to capture Harry’s beauty, but that was really hard. Every time he pictured Harry in his mind, he was wrong. It was like he couldn’t capture Harry’s looks in his mind, and Niall was positive that no one could.

The night he held Harry, he should’ve been thinking about how he had a crying boy in his arms. He should’ve been thinking about how a boy was shaking and whimpering in his grasp.

But all he could think about was how he was holding a crying Harry. All he could think about was how Harry was whimpering in his arms.

Harry had a strange, comforting vibe to him. And anyone who had witnessed the curly headed boy would tell you the same. Anyone.

Niall ran as fast as his legs could carry him, the large park finally coming into view. He stopped in his tracks and crossed the street, walking into the park.

He wandered, and soon enough found a curly-headed boy sitting on a brown bench. “Haz?” Niall said quietly, making Harry turn around.

“Nialler!” He chimed, walking up to Niall and throwing his arms around him.

Niall often had this internal issue when Harry was around. He wanted to think of Harry as a friend. And sometimes he did.

But sometimes he wanted to hug Harry. And sometimes he wanted to kiss Harry. And sometimes he wanted to touch Harry. But he always had to push those thoughts back, and replace them with Friend. Harry was his friend. Friend, friend, friend.

Niall wrapped his arms back around Harry, nuzzling his face into the crook of Harry’s neck. “You didn’t come to get your cookie today.” He whispered quietly in Harry’s ear, before releasing the boy from his hold.

“Oh, yeah,” Harry said with a small laugh, making one of his dimples appear. “I didn’t really feel like one today.” He concluded with a small smile.

Niall nodded, looking around the park. “So, do you go here a lot?” he questioned, making Harry smirk.

“Yeah, I do actually. It’s really peaceful. I like it.” Harry explained, slightly smiling.

“So… where to?” Niall asked, making a hand motion to the different directions they could go. Harry laughed, pointing to a little path. “There. It’s really cool up there.” He said, grabbing Niall’s hand and leading him up the hill.

They got to the top, and there was literally nothing but grass. At least that’s what Niall thought.

“I want to show you something…” Harry said slyly, making Niall raise his eyebrow in confusion. “Okay.” He said simply, letting Harry lead the way.

Grass, grass, and more grass was all Niall saw, until they came to a large, dark grey headstone.

In Loving Memory of Gemma Styles

                 You Will Be Missed

                      1987-2002

Niall gasped and looked at Harry with large eyes. Harry looked back at him, a tear already running down his cheek.

“Niall, this is Gemma’s grave. I uh, come here to talk to her sometimes…” Harry stopped to let another tear flow.

“Hi Gem. This is Niall. He’s uh, he’s really nice. And um, a r-r-really good f-f-friend.” Harry said, stuttering from the overflowing tears.

“D-do you want to say something, N-Niall?” Harry asked, letting one tear after another streak his pale face.

Niall nodded, turning back towards the headstone. “Hi there Gemma… Uh, I’m Harry’s friend, Niall. I’m sorry about your unhappiness, but I’m uh, positive that you’re happy now. You’re brother Harry is the most amazing person I’ve ever met, and I’m sure you were just as amazing. Rest in peace, friend.” Niall concluded.

He turned to Harry, and it looked like his tears had finally stopped. Harry looked back at Niall and nodded, grabbing his hand and leading him back down the path.

The boys decided to go to Harry’s flat afterwards, and Niall wasn’t going to lie. He was really fucking nervous.

Niall felt horrible for Harry, it seemed like he missed his sister extremely. She must have been amazing.

They stopped in front of a flat that was a bit bigger than Niall’s. It had white shutters and it was a tan colour.

 They walked inside the flat, and Niall was impressed. It was large, with a big staircase and a nice kitchen. It was beautiful, just like Harry.

They each sat down on the large leather couch that was in Harry’s front room, both boys getting comfortable.

“I…. I’m sorry Nialler.” Harry said quietly, making Niall frown. “For what?” He questioned.

“For making you talk to my sister, and see her grave, and see me cry, and all that shit.” Harry concluded.

Niall shook his head, moving over to Harry and wrapping him up in a hug. “Harry, you shouldn’t be sorry for anything. It was good to see it, and I feel like were closer because of it. You don’t have to feel bad.” Niall whispered into Harry’s ear soothingly, making Harry shiver.

Harry just nodded, nuzzling his face into the crook of Niall’s long neck. Niall soon felt small tears on his collar bone, making tears come to his eyes.

He blinked them away, and cuddled Harry closer.

“Nialler?” He soon heard Harry whisper, “Yeah Hazza?” He spoke back.

“Thank you.”

“For what?”

“For being such a good friend. I love you, man.” Harry said quietly, making Niall smile.

“I love you too, Mr. Pleasure Giver. Now stop crying, were going to go bake some fucking cookies.”

Hey there Delilah, what’s it like in New York City? Haha, sorry. Thought I’d get a new god damn intro for this.

SORRY, I know! More depressing stuff! Don’t worry, it’ll stop.

And I know what you’re thinking, “When DAFUCK are they going to stop being friends and make out?” Well, here’s a bit of a sneak peak I wouldn’t usually give.

The boys are going to be friends for most of the book.

But don’t worry, you’ll get about 15 chapter of them being friends, and about 10 chapters of them being a cute little Narry couple.

Well guys, that’s really all I got. I love you! :) Xx -Cali
