Chapter 13

"It's fuckin' pouring it down." Niall groaned as he looked outside, "should we just stay in tonight and go out tomorrow?"

"I can cook." Harry offered quietly, secretly glad he didn't have to go out.

"Yes! Can you actually? I love your cooking." Niall jumped up excitedly.

"Well, I'm a bit out of practice but I can try my best." He gave a small smile, "I'll start it now. What do you want?"

Niall turned to Liam with a shrug, "what d'ya fancy Payno?"

"Can you do like risotto or something?"

"I bloody love risotto." Zayn added as he walked in, "all that rice, peng."

"I'll do risotto then."

"You gotta wear this, I found it in the cupboard." Niall ran to the cupboard, whipping out an apron to make it look as if Harry was a naked, very hairy man.

Harry scrunched up his nose but took it anyway, "do I have to?"

"Absolutely." Niall grinned, "enjoy."

Harry shook his head with a small amused smile as he grabbed the ingredients from the cupboard.

"Oh my fuckin' god this is so good." Niall moaned as he shoveled it into his mouth.

"Calm down Nialler, sounds like you're having sex." Louis laughed. "But yeah, it's really good Haz."

"Harry." He corrected quietly, "thank you."

"Sorry, I keep forgetting you don't like to be called that anymore." Louis offered him an apologetic smile.

"It's alright." Harry reassured, "don't worry about it."

"Quick question, can we play truth or dare afterwards? Or 21 truths or something?" Niall asked, "it would be so fun."

"Oh my god, yes. We're definitely doing that." Zayn piped up.

Harry looked up nervously, "I don't know."

"Please Harry." Louis pouted, "it'll be fun."

"I, I dunno...fine."

"Get innn!"

"We should do it so if we don't do the dare or truth we have to do a shot." Niall suggested, "more fun that way."

"Sick. Bought some vodka the other day." Louis grinned, "this is gonna be so good."

"Liam's about to get hella pisseddd." Zayn chuckled, Liam hitting him in a playful manner.

Harry sat there, pushing his food around his plate as the others talked. He had purposefully put less on his plate but he was already full.

"Aren't you going to eat that?" Niall raised his eyebrows.

"I'm full."

"You've had like 4 spoonfuls, you gotta eat more than that."

"No I don't. It's not like I'm not eating, I've eaten what I can. I'll have the rest of it later or something." He sighed, "don't make a big deal of it. I'll go and get the vodka and shot glasses out."

"Okay. I'm sorry."

"'s fine, just don't get involved with my habits and stuff please."

"Who's starting?" Liam asked as the 5 sat cross-legged in a circle on the floor.

"I will." Niall volunteered, looking at each of them individually before eventually speaking, "Harry. Truth or dare?"
