-2 weeks later-

It's been two weeks since Niall's mum's departure and he is extremely happy. Things are looking up for once and he doesn't have to worry about the safety of Angel anymore. Him and Harry have got quite close. They are practically never apart. Harry has even stayed over more than a few times (in separate beds of course, much to Harry's disliking) and Angel has taken a strong liking to him much like Niall did.

Harry looked after Angel when Niall had to shop since she was getting to that age where she was disobeying Niall's every word. But strangely enough, she listened to Harry. Niall would get annoyed at it but paid no attention to it. He liked the curly headed lad too much.

It's been a couple of hours since Harry left and Niall and Angel were lying in his bed. She was on his phone, playing some game, before she had to sleep. Niall was stroking her hair when she asked,

"Where's mummy?" Niall almost choked on air at her bizarre enquiry.

"Mummy?" He questioned the toddler.

Angel just nodded and said, "He was here before but left.. Why," His heart accelerated when he realised that she meant Harry. Where on earth did she get that idea?

"Don't you mean Harry darlin'?"

She quickly shook her head and stated, "No mummy, you have short hair and look after me and mummy has longer hair and looks after me." Niall roared with laughter at her stereotype on mums and dads. His laughter subsided and he looked down at Angel who was absentmindedly looking at his screen.

"Have you called Har-mummy this to his face?" he asked trying not to coo at his sister's face. She nodded again and Niall was shocked that Harry didn't tell him. Niall can't deny he feels something for Harry but it's not overwhelming. Yeah he likes him but he just not ready.

Angel fell asleep on his chest quickly and a short while after, he took his phone from her grasp and dialed Harry's number.

Harry was just getting out the shower when he heard his ringtone blare out through the room. He quickly snatched it from the side and his chest tightened at the name flashing on his screen, Niall. He answered happily, "Hey Ni!"

"Hi Harry, can I ask you something?" Harry swore that Niall could hear his heartbeat through the phone.

"Sure," Harry squeaked. Niall chuckled which made Harry feel a little better.

"Has Angel ever called you mummy?" Harry didn't answer straight away.

"Yeah, I was gonna tell you but then I forgot. I couldn't tell her no because when I tried, she refused to beli-"

"Harry," Niall tried to stop his rambling but it didn't work "-ive me and I really hope you are not mad Niall. I didn't mean to let her call me it. Next time I see her I will explain, oh god don't be an-"

"HARRY" Niall shouted making Harry shut up instantly.

"Yes," he said quietly.

"I'm not mad."

"I'm so sor- What?"

"I said I'm not mad" he chuckled.

"You sure?"

"Positive infact it's really cute." Harry went bright red and even though Niall couldn't see him, he still covered his face.

They spoke some more, it was more like mumbling actually, neither could understand each other but that didn't matter. Harry still couldn't get over how cool Niall was with the whole Angel business. He couldn't help but smile at the fact of the possibility of Niall liking him back.
