Just Another Stunt

24- Cuddles

"I don't know Liam. Should I wake them?" whisper yelled Niall, waking a sleepy Harry.

Harry didn't think much about the warmth laying under him, pulling his hand from under himself and rubbing his eyes with his fisted hand, cuddling deeper into the warmth.

"No I'm telling you. They are full on cuddling," Niall continued to whisper-yell into his phone.

"Why is Louis even there?" Zayn asked from his position beside Liam.

"I don't know. Why do you think I know?" Liam responded.

"Well, he obviously stayed over," Niall said looking at the clothing both Louis and Harry had on.

Harry shifted lightly, pushing his hand tightly into Louis's tummy right above his crouch, waking him quickly.

Louis opened his eyes quick to find an explanation to the jarring in his stomach. He relaxed slightly when he saw it was only Harry. He pushed his free hand through Harry's hair taking no notice to Niall in the corner of Harry's living room. He moved Harry's hand slightly from his stomach before he closed his eyes and drifted off again never noticing Niall.

~~

It only took a hour or so before Harry was awake.

He was quick to think of a plan to get off of Louis without waking him to avoid any awkwardness that would come from them cuddling.

He slowly reached around his back and removed Louis's arm from his waist, slowly pulling his legs from under Louis'. He raised up as slow as possible placing his knee in between Louis's legs to balance himself.

Harry probably jumped to his feet faster than needed and he immediately knew that when his knee made contact with Louis's crouch and he let out a 'oof' sound.

"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry," Harry said loudly, quickly backing away from his couch and looking at Louis covering his crouch protectively.

"Yeah. No. It's fine," Louis said with a strained voice, still protecting his crouch with his hands.

"I'll just be- yeah," Harry said hurrying to his kitchen.

"I'm an idiot. I'm an actual idiot," Harry said to himself covering his face with his hands.

"Here you go," Harry said handing Louis a ice pack from his freezer.

"Nah it's okay," Louis said looking out Harry's window.

"Oh. Okay," Harry said placing the ice pack onto the coffee table.

"That's Niall's car," Louis said pointing out Harry's window.

"Probably," Harry said before turning to walk towards his hall in search of Niall.

"Niall?" Harry asked pushing open his guest door to find Niall laying there watching Supernatural.

"Harry, can we have a chat?" Niall asked turning off the tv.

"I probably don't want to," Harry said, closing the guest door and sitting down on the edge of the bed.

"Look, I know you can't avoid Louis, and I'm not asking you to. I'm just ask that you don't rush into anything," Niall said, looking deep into Harry's eyes in hope of making what he was saying stick.

"I'm not rushing into anything," Harry said playing with his thumbs.

"From what I saw, you are. You've got a good heart Harry. You forgive easy and I'm not saying you shouldn't. He wants to make everything right. But what you want and what he wants in the long run, are very different things," Niall said lightly touching Harry's hand to get his attention.

"We fell asleep. That's what you saw and that's all," Harry said pulling his hand away from Niall suddenly angry because of the corner he felt he was being pushed into.

"Why did he even spend the night?" Niall questioned.

"His car is broken. I couldn't just kick him out," Harry explained.

"Harry, I'm not trying to piss you off here. None of us are. We're just looking out for you," Niall said, knowing Harry was mad by the way he was speaking.

"But I don't need you to look out for me. You act like I'm child and I'm not. I know how to take care of myself. I know Louis and I know what he's doing. I know what I want and I know he probably don't want the same. Okay, I know," Harry said standing from his spot on the bed.

"I know you do Harry, but we just-"

"No. There is no but there. I got this okay," Harry said, cutting Niall off.

"Okay Harry. Okay," Niall said, standing too and pulling Harry into a hug. It took a second or two, but Harry gave in and wrapped his arms around Niall.

Louis sighed from his side of the door before walking towards Harry's bathroom.
