Untold truths // Minishaw

11 ~ stolen glances

Three weeks had past and Harry and Simon both un-ironically kept their distance from one another. Both waiting for the other to speak up or initiate a conversation but also not at the same time. They were both ignoring each other but also pining after one another. They tried so hard to push those feelings down, for themselves, for the people around them and for their channels. They were both just glad they unintentionally had the same idea. Of course they didn't know this. Harry ignoring Simon, just glad Simon hasn't tried to talk to him or text him which makes it easier for him to ignore and get rid of his feelings. Simon ignoring Harry, a little hurt that Harry hasn't tried any sort of contact but thankful at the same time that he might have a chance to erase any existing feelings.

However, every now and then you may notice stolen glances at one another. The longing for the other. They never caught the other staring somehow, but knew all the same that those glances and the doe eyes, they were there, just unbeknownst at those points in time by them and those around them.

In a way, it was easy to push away the feelings they had for the other, they lived in separate homes and had separate routines. The only thing keeping those two in the others lives is the sidemen. In all fairness the lifestyle of the sidemen keep them together but also keep them apart.

However, a couple of the sidemen may have noticed how the two were avoiding each other. Barely talking and keeping communication to a minimum - which was odd as these two had always been good friends. At least, they were.

"I can't be the only one who has noticed how Harry and Simon have been avoiding each other...?" Tobi whispers to Ethan and Vikk beside him. They're all waiting at the airport as they are flying over to LA for two weeks. It's a holiday as well as a work trip - expanding their horizon and getting a couple collabs with other YouTube's across the Atlantic.

"I honestly thought they had a thing going on..." Ethan whispers back. The three are sat on their own and Simon, Josh, JJ and Harry are all sat in the seats across from them, however a few meters apart. All sat in said order.

"I thought so too but now I'm honestly thinking the opposite" Vikk added as he leant forward and clasping his hands together.

"It's just all a bit... odd" Tobi says as he squints looking back and forth from Harry and Simon who both manage to look up at the same time. They both furrow their eyebrows at Tobi and and then look across the two people sat between them before connecting eyes for about a second - yet felt like forever - before quickly turning away. Tension high in the atmosphere.

"Yep okay... that was definitely weird" Ethan said a little too loud as Tobi and Vikk both shooshed him at the same time. Ethan chuckles as he shrugs and leans back into his seat before folding his arms.

Their flight was an 11 hour flight and left at 8pm. All the boys were tired and a little moody as they had all been up late the night before filming a bunch of videos so they can make sure they get an upload while away.

They all got on the flight. JJ, Simon and Tobi all sat together. Vikk and Harry then Josh and Ethan. JJ was very annoyed when Ethan sat behind him and kept kicking his chair every now and then or putting crisps in his hair.

"Oi stop it fam! I just want to sleep" JJ said in a groggy tone as he took the Dorito out of his hair and threw it at Ethans face who just laughed. Simon and Tobi rolled their eyes.

As it was a long flight and late at night, they all eventually fell asleep, absolutely exhausted and drained from a long week of non stop work.

The plain finally lands and it's only 11pm LA time. (UK 8 hours ahead of LA and and 11 hour flight - 8pm + 11hours = 7am - 8 hours = 11 pm // lmao sorry thought I'd explain)

All the boys get their stuff together and get off the plain and go to baggage check to pick up their suitcases before calling two taxis to pick them up and take them to the villa they were staying in. It was a 45 minute drive and JJ managed to fall asleep again.

They get to their gorgeous villa - it's on a hill and surrounded by many other houses of the same size - 3 floors, 8 bedrooms, a pool and a games room.

"2 weeks here?! This is mad" Ethan laughs as he spins in the large entry hallway. It's bright and beige and you can see right through to the living room at the back, a wall of windows too. To their left is a dining room which follows through to a kitchen. To their right is a cinema room which follows through to a games room which then from their leads to a massive room with a swimming pool (bit like the one in the sidemen house). And obviously upstairs is the many bedrooms.

JJ, Harry, Ethan and Josh on the second floor and Simon, Tobi and Vikk on the top. Few of them have an ensuit; few share a bathroom and a few have a balcony looking over the hills or the beautiful horizon.

The boys all mess about in the house not realising how late it is before finally going to bed at about 3am, exhausted from their busy day.
