It doesn't take long for me to find out that Louis is adventurous. Because instead of just having a conversation with me, he grabs my hand and pulls me toward the group of soldiers. We were the only ones not standing with them.

His hand is cold but it doesn't bother me at all, I quite like it actually. Even though his body temperature is much colder than mine, his hand sends waves of heat into my skin. Another fun fact about his hand is that it's really small. I feel my hand warming his. The size difference between our hands is big but they still feel perfect for each other, like our hands were made to be together. Like a puzzle. That't weird. That's super weird, when did I become so cliche and gross?

He suddenly stops walking and I bump agains his back. He turns around an grabs my other hand too. My eyes widen and I blush. Why does he always do weird random things like this?

"Were you listening to a word that I was saying, skylights?" He asks me.

Fuckkkk

"Uhm..." I get nervous.

He smiles at me fondly and I feel myself relax a little. Normally I am really attentive and concentrated but his hand distracted me..

"Well, as I was saying, we should pretend like I only speak german." He says still smiling.

"Why?" I ask him. He is stil holding my hands, so long sentences are not possible due to the fact that my brain will overheat.

"Because it's fun." He simply says.

I scoff. The fact that he seems to forget that it's war and we are basically enemies is ridiculous, but adorable.

"Hear me out, we go to your fellow British soldiers and then we pretend like I don't understand a word of what you're saying." He says excitingly.

I can't help but laugh because he is just so excited about it. He can be so happy about a stupid things like this.

He doesn't wait for any form of conformation from me, instead he lets go of my right hand and pulls me along. I miss his hand right away but I follow him.

"Who's that?" Johnson asks me.

"That's Louis, he only speaks, uhm, german so he, uh, doesn't understand what we're saying." God, I'm a terrible liar.

Louis walks to stand behind Johnson, but Johnson follows him with his eyes. Louis tries to motion with his arms that Johnson should look at me, but Johnson is just confused.

I can't prevent myself from laughing but I cover my mouth quickly. Johnson looks at me confused and I see Louis gives me an excited thumbs up and grins at me. As soon as Johnson turns to look at Louis again, the thumbs and the grin disappear.

I can see that Louis is trying to his smile and I am forcing myself to look serious too, but I can't. I start laughing uncontrollably which makes Johnson even more confused.

"You two are acting really weird." Johnson mutters before he walks away.

I can't stop laughing at this point and I can hear Louis laugh too. It's the most precious thing I've ever heard.
