Niall Horan Phobia Fics

Haphephobia

Haphephobia -
A morbid fear of being touched

NIALL POV:
I was put together with four other boys. Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, and Zayn Malik.

I also have haphephobia. A fear of being touched. Whenever someone touches me I scream and cry. I don't know why I act this day but I do and I hate it. Everyone I know, all my family and friends, are used to it by now. But, what will my bandmates think of this? I guess I'm finding out tomorrow when we move in together.

The Next Day
NIALL POV:
I'm outside the home, trying to remember everyone's name. Harry, Liam, Zayn, and... wait, Harry Liam Louis, and... Zayn!!! Ok, I have their names. Wait, I need their appearances then they'll say their name right? Why did I do that? Oh, whatever.

I knock on the door and it immediately opens.

"You must be Niall!"

I nodded.

"Come sit on the couch with us. We're waiting for Harry then we'll all introduce ourselves a little more."

I nodded but then looked at the couch. There were five cushions, perfect for five people. But, the boys were so close to each other they were... touching. I decided to sit on the floor.

"Not a couch guy?" someone asked.

"Uh, well, I-"

"It's alright, you can sit there if you want."

I smiled at him and nodded.

A few minutes later, there was another knock and someone opened the door.

"Harry, right?"

He nodded and stepped inside.

"Why is he sitting on the floor?" Harry asked, pointing to me.

My eyes turned worried, my breathing got heavy.

"U-um, well..."

"It's alright, just teasing," he said deciding to also sit on the floor, next to me.

The other boys chuckled.

"Ok, well I'm Liam," the one who opened the door started, "Why don't we just say our name, where we're from, and then we'll move on. After everyone's done we'll get into some conversation. Ok?"

"How long have you been planning this, teacher," Harry joked.

We all laughed, including Liam.

"Oh, and by the way I'm from Wolverhampton, West Midlands, England."

"So detailed," one of the other boys said.

We laughed again.

"Ok, ok, who's next."

Harry raised his hand.

"I'm Harry Styles from Redditch, Worcestershire, England. Figured I'll get as detailed as him. And, guess I'll pass it on to him," he said pointing to me.

"Oh, I'm Niall Horan from Mullingar, Westmeath, Ireland," I quickly said.

I pointed to Zayn.

"Um, I'm Zayn Malik from Bradford. That's all. Now, Louis."

"Louis Tomlinson, Doncaster."

"Ok, now anything that will affect your life like medications, hearing difficulties, mental stuff."

The way he called it mental 'stuff' made me not want to talk about it. Or my OCD. Or my claustrophobia. Or my colorblindness. I could speak about being leftie though.
