a louis to go, please! » stylinson au

17: stupid

i'm so sorry for the long wait, but here you go. this is after liam, mickey & ian and dean, cas, sam & gabe left, just so you know lol.

eleanor left a little less than an hour ago to let the three boys have a "man night and do all manly stuff" even though she knew that they were probably gossiping more than the girls did. and harry would most definitely like to watch the notebook, niall would be the one to suggest it because harry is a little shy, and louis would agree no matter what.

the thing she didn't know, was that niall left only ten minutes after her, because he promised maura to help and clean the whole house since she was always complaining that niall did nothing but eat with harry at this stupid fast food restaurant.

well, that was a lie. he just left to give the two some alone time. niall was hoping for a code rainbow. or at least a code green.

so now the two were standing next to each other in front of the mirror, brushing their teeth and harry was glancing at louis in the mirror every once in a while. he hoped that louis didn't caught him staring, that would've been embarrassing.

louis did notice when harry was looking at him, but just one time. and it was when louis was looking at harry himself. not in a creepy way or something, his glance just .. slipped into harry's direction.

the thing that confused louis the most was when harry smiled at him with toothpaste in his mouth and winked at him. he fucking winked. yes, louis didn't know much about the awkward boy next to him, but he sure knew that he usually is not like that.

now, let me tell you something. harry decided to ban this stupid plan of niall's from his head, to just forget it and never ever think about it again. love shouldn't be forced, it should come naturally. so harry thought that he will just become good friends with louis and have a casual friendship. and if louis ever finds himself falling for harry still, then harry will be there to catch him.

the two didn't do much after eleanor and niall left them alone, they mostly just laid in bed next to each other, feet dangling of the edge while either being in their own head for just a few seconds before one of them would say something random. then they'd just talk about all of this stupid stuff for minutes.

the room has been filled with laughter, careful not to be too loud because louis's sisters were all sleeping in another room, for the past hour and it felt good.

louis knew that this wouldn't last, because he was in a pretty good mood all day but there is still the night and he just knew that this won't be good. he thought about warning harry once again, to tell him about his dreams and that he will probably wake up to louis silently crying.

but that would be awkward and harry wouldn't like that and so louis decided against it. it will be just fine. somehow.

louis spit out the toothpaste one last time and washed his toothbrush and mouth before drying his face with a towel. harry was finished just a few seconds before louis.

they went back into louis's bedroom and lay down again. their heads were next to each other, but harry's feet were dangling of the bed from the right side and louis's from the left side.

"do you like cats?" harry asked out of the blue, louis barely shrugging to this. "i'm more of a dog person, actually" he answered and glanced to harry and then at the ceiling, "why're you asking?"

harry chuckled to himself and crossed his arms behind his head. "well, i got a funny story that involves a cat. i'm a cat person and niall and i were out one day. we found this cat sitting there and i started patting it. we called it ace (tomlinsons-ukulele see what i did there? :D) and it seemed to like me. so niall wanted to pat it too" harry started and started laughing again, having to concentrate on not being too loud.
