It wasn't unusual for the boys to introduce Harry on his behalf.
It's just always been like that, for whoever to add on 'and this is Harry' after introducing themselves, to new crew members, to new friends, to people they might have potential brand deals with. Anyone really.
And the boys didn't mind, they all remember how closed off and nervous Harry had been when they all first starting hanging out. When Harry would leave leave as soon as possible and would never speak unless spoken too.
He didn't want to be a bother, is what he told everyone.
So they weren't going to force him to do anything he was uncomfortable with, they were terrified he would retreat back into that nervous shell of a person he had been when they'd first met.
(It hadn't been until Harry had been officially diagnosed with anxiety that he really understood why it was so hard for him, why talking to new people made his palms sweat and his heart hammer and for his words to get caught in his throat.
He had told the guys reluctantly, after someone had seen the pills in his bag and couldn't help but to assume the worst -they always did. They were more supportive then Harry could have dreamed of and, Harry wondered how he managed to get such amazing friends).

Jjs not sure how it got to this point.
To Harry coming over to his and Simon's apartment at three in the morning, he couldn't sleep and he knew that Jj was still awake. Wouldn't be surprised if Simon was too.
The door was barely open before Jj had an armful of Harry, and Jj chuckled, wrapped his arms tightly around the younger boy.
He wanted to ask what was wrong, wanted to know if he just needed a hug so bad that he was willing to come here in the middle of the night but there relationship was still new, he wasn't sure he was allowed.
But then, Harry was crying, in Jj's arms, with the front door still open and he didn't really care if he was allowed to ask anymore.
He pulled Harry further into the apartment kicked the door closed and practically carried Harry to his room.
Jj let Harry cry, as much as he wanted (needed) to, just comfortingly stroked Harry's hair as he cried into Jjs chest, he tried not to let his heart break too much at the sight.
He stayed calm, forced himself not to ask the hundreds of questions he had and whispered soothing words to the man in his lap until he couldn't cry anymore.
"What's going on in that head of yours, baby." Jj whispered, pressing a kiss to the top of Harry's head.
"It's stupid." Harry mumbles, head tucked away in the safety of Jjs chest, he can hear Jjs heartbeat ever so slightly and it's comforting, really, just to be able to feel that Jj is right here.
"It can't be stupid if it's upsetting you." Jj promises, presses a kiss to Harry's temple and lifts his chin so he can kiss him on the lips as well. "You can tell me anything, you know that right?"
