Ooh i love all of this but the second part especially! I feel like i've seen a movie/read a book like that and it has the possibility of being so angsty (in my mind) because niall would be harbouring all these feelings about their past and not being able to communicate anything because he doesn't want to scare harry off. And i also love the idea of using everything he knows about harry to win him over and get him to be his boyfriend (buying harry all his fav albums to impress him, taking him to all of his old favourite places knowing harry will fall in love with it and hopefully with him all over again)
