Blind to your Love

"It's because you are the only one for me," Niall whispers with a brilliant smile, making his blue eyes light up. Harry can see it from where he is sitting on the other side of the room. 

He rolls his eyes and looks away from the happy couple. It doesn't stop the sickening giggle from erupting from the guy's mouth. 'For fuck's sake...' Harry thinks. 'They have only been together for what? Two weeks.' Two weeks of jealousy burning inside his every cell.

"You are the only one for me too." The guy says. Harry can't even remember his name anymore. Dirk? Dave? Daniel? It was something with a D... He could just call him dick for the time being, though, since the lad is annoying Harry a lot. 

It's his own fault and he is perfectly aware of that too. Ever since their first tour as One Direction, Harry has had feelings for Niall. He had never acted upon them, too scared to admit it to anyone. Niall was probably straight too, so there was no way Harry had a chance with him. He thought it to be better to just sit and wait for the feelings to go away. 

They never went away. And then Niall came out of the closet. And Harry did nothing.

So, yes. It's his own fault. 

And now he has to try and live with the sickening sweet behaviour of the couple. 

Why did he agree to share a flat with Niall again? 

He groans to himself and glances over at the two, instantly regretting it when he notices they are making out. Harry's heart breaks. 

In an instant, he stands up, making the remote of the television fall from his lap on the floor with a loud noise. The couple breaks up their kiss to see what is going on. 

"Harry?" Niall asks worriedly. Harry doesn't look at him. He doesn't even glance at the remote at his feet before he storms off with a growl of: "I'm going to take a bath." 

Niall looks at Dan with a frown once Harry slammed the door shut, clearly upset. 

"Too much?" The blond whispers. 

Dan sighs. "I don't get why you don't just tell him, Ni. He clearly likes you." He shaves him off and sits up. 

"He doesn't like me, Dan. The whole jealousy plan is not working. He is just getting more annoyed." 

"Stop it, Niall. That man is in love with you. So stop being sour about this. You are just as blind and cowardice as he is. Go talk to him about your feelings. Be a man for once." Dan says annoyed. "He does love you." 

Niall watches with a lump in his throat as Dan takes his coat and leaves the flat. Maybe he is right. He shouldn't have listened to Louis when he told Niall that making Harry jealous would be a good idea. Now he fears that he may have hurt Harry if what Dan just said is true. 

He thinks about all the times Harry brought him breakfast in bed. All the times he stayed with him when Niall was sulking in bed about something. Or how close Harry stayed, no matter how ill Niall was and kept him warm with cuddles. Or that one time Niall had found that song about... Oh. 

Niall widens his eyes. 

He has been so blind. He has been a proper fool thinking Harry was just being friendly to him. 

That song he had written was for him. He knows this. Louis had told him that when they were drunk a few weeks ago. 

He groans to himself, wishing he could hit himself against the head for being so stupid. He has to let Harry know. He has to-

Niall jumps up from his seat on the couch and runs towards the bathroom where he knows Harry is. 

~*~

Fat tears are running down Harry's cheeks as he sits in the warm water of the bathtub. He has his knees pulled to his chest, his arms wrapped around them. He is staring at the tiled wall in front of him, silently crying. Never has he been so glad to have installed the silly curtain for privacy. With that drawn shut, he is in his own little bubble of self-pity, locked away from the cruel reality at the other side of the flowery curtain. 

Niall will never be his. Harry will move on. He has to move on. It's the sentence he has been repeating to himself for a while now. He knows he can't. 

Maybe he should move away. Far away from those brilliant blue eyes... 

"Haz?" 

There he is. Harry hadn't even heard the door open, but he can hear the door fall close now and the footsteps coming closer. 

The younger lad sucks in a sharp breath and moves in the water, making it slosh against the tub. He doesn't reply though. 

Silence fills the bathroom then. Harry is aware Niall is there, just on the other side of the curtain, probably waiting for him to reply. 

"Dan and I were never together." 

Harry feels his heart stop in his chest. What? A frown settles on his face. Niall had lied to him? Why? 

"Why?" He voices his last thought and curses himself for how broken his voice sounds. 

"I... I thought it to be a great idea to make you jealous." comes the reply.

Harry snorts loudly. "Plan succeeded." He snaps before biting his tongue. Why did he say that? He gave himself away. His feelings for him. Oh, what does it matter? He was planning on moving out anyway. 

"I have feelings for you, Harry. I never... I was too scared to admit it to you." Niall's voice is nothing but a whisper, but it could have been a shout in the silence of the white room. 

Harry doesn't say anything at that. He has been too scared for it too, so he isn't allowed to criticize Niall for it. His heartbeat has sped up. There are goosebumps on his arms and legs even though the water is scorchingly hot. 

There is a rustle of clothes then. Something is dropped on the floor next to the toilet softly. Then the curtain is shoved to the side and Harry watches as Niall steps into the bathtub with him. He takes it on his own to close the curtain again. 

Then he stares at him, capturing his blue eyes. 

"I love you." 

Harry moves slowly, untangling his arms from around his legs. He slowly pushes himself in between the blond's legs and rests his head against his shoulder, his nose rubbing gently against Niall's neck. Niall moves his arms around Harry and wraps them around his waist, pulling him closer. 

"I love you too."
