Obviously

Chapter 2

A knock on the door startles Harry awake. Harry tries to sit up in bed, but notices that something is holding him in place. He looks down and his heart soars when he sees that Louis' arm is wrapped around his torso. Knowing the moment can't last because they have to go he lightly nudges the older boy's arm.

"Tommo, mate, we gotta wake up"

Harry's soft laugh slowly woke the older boy. As he slowly opened his eyes mumbling "'Morning baby cakes" he saw his arm wrapped around the younger boys torso.

The stream of curse words that flowed through his brain as he scolded himself were endless. In an attempt to play it cool, he nonchalantly removed his arm from around Harry's body and said,

"Had us a lil cuddle session in our sleep did we?"

Harry chuckled, "Must've"

"Bet you loved it"

"Oh yea sweet cheeks"

The boys quickly dressed and opened the door only to be hauled out of their room without warning by Liam.

"Everybody else is already in the car, what took you two so long? we've got to go meet with management." Liam scolded.

"Sorry - must've slept through the alarm" Harry's apologetic answer juxtaposed Louis' "Well management can piss off making us wake up this early"

Liam checked his watch "Louis, its 10:30, there's nothing early about this."

"Fuck off mate" came the quick response from Louis, he was still too busy rubbing the sleep out of his eyes to find a more eloquent response.

As they loaded into the car - without the post show drivers they could all fit comfortably - they found Zayn in the passenger seat waiting for Liam to drive. Niall, face full of munchkin doughnuts offered them the bag full of the sugary treats. Neither of them grabbed one. Both leaned back in their seats resting. Louis who was still sleepy tried to take a nap on Harry's shoulder while the younger boy went on his phone.

Thinking about the night before, Harry went to his texts. There was a message that he had left unanswered for a few days, but last night made him sure that he had to say yes. Because he was not gay, not only was he not gay, but he knew that he definitely was not allowed to be. Management would never allow it, it would ruin their band, their image. He couldn't do that to the rest of the boys, it would be selfish of him to destroy their careers. Not that it was an actual concern, he wasn't gay. He slid open the text from Taylor Swift asking if he would like to see her while on the American leg of the boys' tour and responded: "yes I would love to. xx H." He could no longer let himself wonder about Louis, or about himself, and what better way to prove to himself his sexuality then by dating a girl.

Resting on Harry's shoulder, Louis felt his heart sink when he saw the younger boy's thumb hit the send button. Although it shouldn't have sunk, because Harry was his mate and now Harry would have a girlfriend. It's not that Louis was jealous because he had no reason to be, none at all. And yet, he felt his heart drop. But he had been watching, and he knew that Harry knew he had seen, so now he had to play it cool and tease the younger boy or else he would seem suspicious.

"Got ourselves a little love bird have we now?" Louis teased.

"Shut up mate, she's just a friend" came Harry's lighthearted response.

"Thats what you always say you cheeky little flirt."

"Who's Harry dating?" Niall struggled to get the sentence out as his mouth was still full of doughnut.

"Taylor Swift" Louis cooed.

"No, Im not!" Harry protested with a giggle feeling the heat rise to his cheeks in embarrassment.
