Within The Lines Of Normal

Difference

Throughout life, a lot can happen. Friends come and go, relationships end and begin, and you change. In this game of life we all want to make an impact. We want to be that bolt of lightning that strikes the ground leaving a crater deep in the earth, scarring it.

But many don't surpass bolting down to earth to leave their mark. The rest just keep their heads in the clouds, wishing on something that will never happen. Not because it's impossible, they just simply won't, but say they can't...

After school Niall and Harry walked back to harry's house to get ready.Liam had parted ways with him so he could get ready. They Planned to just meet up at the party later.

As they walked, the wind blew through Harry's luscious curls. Though he didn't seem to notice. Though his feet were on the ground his head was up in space. The image of Louis' face was burned into his brain. He couldn't stop thinking about the cute boy.

The way he smelled of masculinity, The way his blue glimmering eyes gazed at him, the way he spoke...

Harry's thoughts were so high up in the clouds he didn't even notice the brown box Niall was carrying nor the fact that he was talking to him. He was talking about the costume he made in home ec. Which Harry made the assumption was in the box.

"It's going to be so cool. I made it meself and i'm really proud of it and I can't wait for you to see it. Have you decided what your costume is going to be?" Niall said with his usual ear to ear grin.

"No, probably just going to throw on a sheet so nobody can see my face." Harry said pushing his curls out of his eyes.

Niall scoffed at Harry's ridiculous comment. "Yeah, I don't think so mate. That face is too perfect to be hidden away under your bed sheets. But no need to fear Nialler here has got you covered."

"Okay" Harry mumbled as he returned to his thoughts of Louis.

The two boys arrived at Harry's house at 5:17.They still had a while till the party. So Harry ordered a large mighty meaty pizza and they devoured it within minutes. It was as if they have never eaten in their lives.

"It's not Nandos, but it's still pretty damn good." Niall said with a mouth full of pizza and a glimmer in his deep blue eyes.

They sat back with their bellies full gazing at the empty pizza box. "Hey Niall, remember when that pizza was still there?"

"Yeah mate, those were good times."

They both laughed and continued talking about the day's events until the clock struck 6:39. "Alright mate I guess we should get ready. Are you ready to see your costume?" Niall said showing his gleaming smile.

"Yeah sure, what have you got?"

Niall opened the box he was carrying earlier and pulled out a bunch of black fuzzy assortments and laid some of them out on the table. Black ears, a tail, a black onesie and a few other garments.

"Ni, what even is this?"

"You're going to be a kitty cat!" He said with extreme pride. "Took me two days to put all this together so you're going to enjoy it."

Harry sighed and wiped his palms on his jeans. He didn't like to stand out. Standing out meant he was different and people could pick on him for being different. He only wanted to be normal.

Niall still holding the black fuzzy costume began losing his smile. "Fine" Harry said not wanting Niall to be upset.

He instantly plastered his smile back on his face and joy filled his complexion. "Tell me if you need help putting it on."

Harry snatched the costume out of Niall's hands and headed to the bathroom to change while Niall took his mystery costume into harry's room to change.

The curly hair boy slid his legs through the black onesie and pulled it over is shoulders. It was a perfect fit. He picked up the black eye liner and began painting on his cat whiskers and his cute little cat nose which he colored pink with face paint. he was beginning to like the homemade costume. he added the clip on tail to the onesie and slicked his hair back putting in the cat ears headband.

he admired himself in the mirror. He made cute little cat poses and pretended to lick his paws which were just fuzzy gloves and wag his cute little tail.  Niall knocked at the door "Alright H, im all done come out and see my costume.

Harry opened the door and there stood Niall. Pale short, leprechaun Niall dressed in a piece of bread. Cinfusion spread across Harry's face. "I'm a piece of toast!" He exclaimed with beaming pride. harry began to laugh hysterically. He hasn't laughed that hard in a while.

Harry's laughter towards the costume made Niall quite happy. All he wanted to do is make Harry happy. He just wanted him to enjoy himself and first time in a while he was.

"You look really cute Ni."

"Do you think Liam is going to like." Niall began to blush asking such a question towards Harry. Niall never came out about liking Liam but Harry could make a pretty good guess about it.

"I think he's gonna love it!"

Niall began blushing even harder than before and twiddled his thumbs. "Alright H, I guess we better get going to the party."

The cute blonde piece of toast and curly haired cat collected there phones and wallets and left the house.

Harry felt a little on edge for some reason as if something was gonna happen. Something bad. But he pushed the feeling aside and plastered a smile on his face, for Niall's sake...
