Chapter 11
-Danny POV-
A few days past and I was finally discharged from the hospital. Even though I was fine, Harry had visited every day to keep me company. Tom and Dougie were working on more music to keep the money coming in but I was happy enough with Harry visiting me. The words just seemed to flow with him and I could say anything to him. That's exactly what I needed right now; a friend to confide in. But what if I want us to be more than friends? Dougie wasn't going to love me again anytime soon and he's been here more than Dougie has... "Harry?" I asked, planning on my thoughts to words. "Yeah mate? I can tell there's going to be a question" he smiled. My cheeks started to burn with embarrassment because of what I was about to ask him but here it goes... "Have you ever thought of me as more than a friend? Because I um, sort of, hmm... Isortofhavefeelingsforyouand IthinkIloveyou" I said the last bit quickly. He laughed at me stumbling over my words. "What was that last bit?" he laughed and I sighed. "I'll tell you as soon as you answer my question. He went silent for a while, probably thinking about his answer. "Well...yeah, I have thought about it sometimes before but I never acted on it. I thought maybe you wouldn't feel that way" he said then closing his eyes for a second and re-opening them. "Okay now what did you say?" he asked and I took a deep breath. "Okay. Don't freak out but I said that I sort of have feelings for you and I think I love you" I repeated and felt my cheeks burning up. I closed my eyes not wanting to see his reaction and I didn't hear anything but then I felt something soft was against my lips. Was he kissing me? I reacted straight away, melting into the kiss. He tasted amazing and he wasn't a bad kisser at all! We pulled away gasping for air. "Well that was unexpected" I panted. "Shh!" he said pulling me back in, this time more passionately. His tongue prodded against my lips asking for entrance which I happily gave. Our tongues met each other, tasting as much of each other as possible. I pulled away earlier this time, having not regained all my air beforehand. "Okay, let's get home!" I grinned at him, becoming the happiest person in the world in just seconds of being with him.
-Harry POV-
We walked out of the hospital hand in hand and close together. I felt that this would last because it almost felt right. I loved Danny and I had always felt at least a tiny bit protective over him, no matter how able he was to defend himself. We got in the car and drove home in comfortable silence. "So how we going to break this to the other two?" he said, worry evident in his voice. "It'll be fine Dan, if they don't accept it then they're obviously not the best mates we thought they were... There shouldn't be any hard feelings" I reassured him. We both took a deep breath then opened the front door and walked into the front room together. "Guys, we have something to tell you!" I shouted up the stairs and we both sat on the sofa with our hands joined together behind our backs. Both blondes entered the room, smiling as normal. Since Danny had been in hospital I had felt a bit left out... It was normally just the two of them together writing music. "Hi Dan, we missed you" they said together. "We have something to say" I said while squeezing Danny's hand reassuringly. "We're together" Danny continued and I felt him tensing, searching for their approval. After a few seconds of silence they both got up hugging us both tightly. "Congratulations" Tom smiled at me but there was something I couldn't believe about it. "What he said" Dougie smiled but both smiles looked a little fake, not reaching their eyes. "Thanks, that means a lot guys" Danny grinned, obviously not noticing. Maybe I was being paranoid? Searching for something to go wrong...
-Dougie POV-
Great! I have now let the person I love go out with my best mate's love of his life. This has been a GREAT day! NOT! "Me and Tom are just going to go back up and finish of sing writing" I said while grabbing his hand and dragging him back upstairs, leaving Danny and Harry to watch TV together. We got back into the music room and I just sighed loudly in discontent. "Well that sucks" I said. "Tell me about it! I thought Harry 'loved' me" he pouted with his face scrunched up in confusion, "Well, maybe we can test that! We can become a 'couple' and see if we can make them jealous" I smiled. My genius plan was coming together in my head just perfectly!
