More than a bromance [Larry Stylinson]

Chapter 9

Chapter 9:

I see two people in front of me: Louis and Eleanor. This can't mean anything good...

"Why am I here?" Eleanor asks confused. "Harry, will you tell her?"
I look puzzled wondering what the cause could be. Did I do anything?

"Uhm, I - I..." "Oh, please. What did you think about before falling asleep?" Louis asks with sarcasm in his voice.
"About you?" "And?" "Eleanor?"
"Right, so that's the answer. Who do you think I want?" I gulp as I look over at Eleanor.

"I don't know?"

"El, do you think I love you?"  Louis now asks directed at Eleanor.
"If you ask it like that, yes choose me." I can't believe my eyes when Louis goes over kissing her passionately. After that, he turns to me pity in his eyes. "I'm sorry Harry. I think you're still too confused about the answers." "Bye!" Eleanor says with an evil grin at me.

As I open my eyes I groan. I can't believe I had another nightmare. I get out of my bed and before I can stop myself I knock at Louis' door. I don't wait for an answer since I don't hear a protest.

I see Louis lying in his bed, still sleeping. I have no clue what time it is so I stay where I am to admire this sleeping beauty. I dare to go to his bed and look at his phone. It's 10 am, that's not that bad.

"Lou, wake up." No reaction.
"Boo." Still nothing.
I lean down and peck his nose. "Morning."  A smile appeared on his face and he rubs his eyes.

"Hazza. What are you doing here?" He looks at the clock, "Ugh, it's too early. You better have a good reason for waking me up." "Eh, kinda?" I question it more than say it. "C'mere," he offers lifting his cover for me to crawl under it. "Thanks," I say as I get comfortable.

"So? What's the matter?" Louis asks lying his head down on my bare chest. "I just wanted to ask you something," I mumble. Suddenly I think it's stupid to ask him that. I mean, what will he think of me then? Then it will be obvious that I like him. "And what?" I guess I have to do it now. "Do you have feelings for Eleanor?"

He stays silent for a second before bursting out in laughter. "No, Haz. I don't have feelings for her. Just like I said yesterday, she's just a friend." "Okay," I say neutral but inside me, everything goes crazy.

"And what is your secret?" I feel him tense up and he doesn't answer. "Louis, please? You can tell me everything," I beg. It really gets to my nerves all of those questions. "It's not that big of a deal. You don't have to know." "But if it's nothing why can't I know then?" "Because. Or will you tell me your secret crush?" I stay silent considering my next words.

Should I tell him now? Or should I go on hiding it? I wanted to tell him someday...

Before I can answer someone opens the door. "Louis, breakfaah, what are you doing here? Wait, are you naked? Never mind I don't want to know," Niall quickly closes the door without looking at us another time.

"Well, where were we?" Louis giggles but I can't manage to say anything.

Wow, Niall now thinks that we had sex or a thing going on between us. Not that I would mind though, but it's just not true.

"Haz, I think we should get dressed and have breakfast. I feel like neither of us will reveal anything," Louis sighs and stands up. I look at his bum as he walks over to his closet. "I can feel you staring, Harry. Like what you see?" he teases me and sways his hips more than usual. I groan just wishing the ground would swallow me up.
