Chapter 4
Tom POV
As soon as Harry said Toy Story 3, I was out the room, down the stairs, and bouncing up and down on the sofa like a child at Christmas which was also one of my favourite things but I just couldn't help it! Disney films are all so great but I could never resist and of the Toy Story films, although last time I watched number 3, I was in tears. Harry eventually came down with a smile on his face.
"Hurry up slowpoke, put it in!" I said while continuing with my bouncing.
"Okay, but calm down a bit, you'll hurt yourself" he chuckled, but I did as I was told. The movie started and I cuddled against Harry like we always did during films. My head was against his shoulders comfortably and I quickly became engrossed in the film.
Harry POV
I didn't want to make it too obvious that I was doing anything so I idly played with Tom's hair while watching the film. I traced patterns against his arm, gaining a smile from him. I was definitely watching him as well as the film, maybe I'm being a bit too obvious? I need to think of something fast, this isn't working! My eyes fell back to the TV and let myself enjoy it while I attempted to think of something else.
The credits went onto the screen and Tom yawned while stretching out on the sofa. I seized his moment of weakness and began tickling him mercilessly.
"You're not ticklish are you Tom?" I laughed at his squirming form beneath me.
"No! Stop! I can't breathe properly! Harry!" he screamed while laughing but I carried on. Eventually he fought back, wresting me to the floor with him on top of me, bringing our faces close together, a cute glint in his eyes. I readied myself, just waiting for him to try and kiss me. I kept eye contact but kept letting them drift to his lips. He moved in slowly and closer but he pulled off quickly at the last second.
"So, what are we eating?" he laughed nervously as he stood up. "I dunno, let's go and see" I said, slinging my arm around his shoulders to pull him closer. It sort of felt nice, this new level of closeness between us, like a new barrier has just fallen between us as friends. Next step, hang around him as much as possible, that was so close.
Tom POV
I had to get off quickly, I almost kissed him! We had a moment and I was starting to let my feelings for him run wild... This is so weird! I've never felt like this around him or anyone before. He was definitely acting different, like he wanted us to get closer… Was Harry Judd interested in me? After all this time where it felt like something beyond my reach… My shoulder was still tingling from Harry's arm being on it and I tried my best to ignore its presence.
I ended up cooking spaghetti for all of us, starting to plate it up and calling the other two down. "Thanks Tom! I love you!" Harry grinned and began stuffing his face. The small comment melted my heart and I could feel a grin crack across my face. I had to learn to control myself or he'll notice.
Danny POV
Damn! Who knows what Harry and Tom got up too while watching Toy Story 3! If he had got Tom to kiss him, he would have said something to me, so all isn't lost I guess. I thought quickly while eating my food and an idea hit me. I began feeding Dougie from my plate and making him laugh childishly but he copied me and I ate it messily.
"Oh Dan, you've made a mess of yourself" he whined, pretending to be my parent and getting out a tissue to wipe my mouth. I just laughed and looked at him while he did it. He caught my gaze and laughed nervously. Getting there! I was loving these new boundaries I was pushing myself out of.
