"harry, who's that?"

harry let out a very audible, dramatic groan.

trust niall to ruin the moment.

niall came bounding over, completely unaware of harry's annoyance to him. he came and stood next to harry, swinging an arm casually over his shoulder.

harry thought nothing of it as niall was his best friend and they did it all the time. louis, on the other hand, noticed the action, causing his eyes to flicker over to where niall's arm was nonchalantly resting on harry's shoulder.

this is really not how i imagined niall and louis meeting. big fat sigh.

"well, are you gonna introduce us or what?" niall asked with a laugh, snapping harry out of his daze.

"yeah of course. niall this is louis, louis this is niall. oh, and these lovely ladies are phoebe and daisy." harry explained, ruffling up the girls' hair in the process.

niall's eyes widen at the realisation, this is the oh-so famous louis. he was tempted to say that out loud but he thought he'd spare harry the embarrassment.

"hiya mate!" he said with a cheeky grin, causing louis to eye him warily. "hi girls," niall continued, with just as much enthusiasm, causing the girls to giggle.

"hi! so you're the one who basically dragged harry out of the house today?" louis questioned jokingly.

"that's me! our little haz here has about three friends so we thought we'd make it better" so much for saving him from the embarrassment.

"it's not about three friends, it is three friends" harry corrects niall with a huff, missing the questioning eyebrow louis raised at his nickname niall said.

"well anyways, i thought it would be good to get him out of the house and away from his guitar for a bit" niall explained to louis.

"you play the guitar?" louis turned to harry, surprised.

"yeah?" harry replied, but it came out as more of a question. he was unsure on what louis would think of him now.

"that's so cool! do you sing as well?"

oh. well that was a better reaction than i expected.

before harry even had the chance to process what louis had asked or to even panic about it, niall jumped in and answered for him.

"yes! and he writes his own songs"

if looks could kill, niall would be dead. harry was so embarrassed at the fact niall completely outed him to louis. hell, liam didn't even know that harry sang and here niall is blurting it out for the whole world to know.

harry felt like he could cry, he was so shy when it came to his music, only his mum and niall had ever heard him sing. he looked up to louis, giving him a small smile and a timid nod, confirming niall's answer. there was a look in louis' eyes that could only be described as fondness.

"that's really cool harry" louis softly said, seeing how anxious the boy got when his music was mentioned. he decided now was not the time or place to ask him about it.

"what are you doing here anyways?" harry quickly changed the subject. he smiled over at phoebe and daisy who were chatting to each other, both with big grins on their faces.

"these two muppets wanted ice cream and i happened to be watching them today. and who can say no to ice cream?" louis playfully tugged on daisy's pigtails when he mentioned them.

"yeah! lou-lou let us pick two flavours" daisy squealed. harry chuckled down at the excitable girl.

"oh wow! well our lou-lou here is clearly an amazing big brother then" harry exclaimed, matching the excitement in daisy's voice.

louis chuckled and rolled his eyes when in reality his head was screaming our our our. he caught harry's eye and gave him a small, private smile.

"well, we better get going girls. we have a couch and a marathon of disney movies waiting for us!" louis said to the twins, causing them to cheer. "nice to meet you niall, i'm sure i'll be seeing you around soon. see you harry."

louis smiled at both boys before gesturing for phoebe and daisy to say goodbye also, which they did. harry flashed them a dimpled smile and wiggled his fingers at the girls, who let out a giggle.

niall, who had been watching the whole encounter closely, grinned at them all before turning to harry, silently asking him a question with his eyes. call it best friend intuition or whatever but harry understood.

after louis ushered the girls away, niall turned to harry and smiled like a madman. harry let out a big breath he didn't even realise he was holding, and let a smile take over his features.

"oh my god! i never thought i'd actually be seeing louis so soon" niall mused, giving harry the side eye. harry grumbled something inaudible and dramatically ran his hand over his face, pulling at his hair.

niall just cackled making harry let a small smile grace his features as niall's laugh is contagious. he turned around and the smile instantly turned sheepish as he was faced with the four girls and liam smirking at him.

he slowly made his way back over with niall in tow, still cackling. as soon as he got back to the little group he was immediately bombarded with questions and stuff regarding louis.

"was that louis?"

"omg he was so fit"

"ooooh is that your lover boy?"

"we're those girls his sisters? god they were adorable"

"who the hell was that?!"

silly liam doesn't keep up with anything.

harry rolled his eyes as they were all speaking over one another, not showing any signs of stopping soon. he turned to niall giving him a help me please look but niall just laughed harder.

once his friends finally calmed down enough for harry to be heard, he decided to speak.

"yes that was louis. seriously liam how did you not figure it out? where were you the whole time i was talking about him?" harry laughed at liam's faux offended expression.

"my god he's gorgeous, you were right" perrie approved causing harry to pout.

"heyyyyyyy hands off pez, he's all mine" he whined.

the group finished up in park and started to head home at around 3pm. harry hugged all the girls goodbye and did that weird bro-shake thing with liam and niall. he never understood why they couldn't just hug like everyone else. what can you say? he's a hugger.

harry got home and went inside to find his mum on the sofa watching some david attenborough documentary. anne patted the seat next to her and harry obliged by sitting down.

just as he sat down he felt his phone buzz so he pulled it out of his back pocket to check the message.

louis ☺️: it was nice seeing you today harry and great to meet niall! wanna hang tomorrow?

harold 👑: of course, i'd love to lou :)

louis ☺️: see you then x

and if harry went to bed that night with a smile on his face, no one had to know.
