Chapter 45

"Okay, spill, what's going on with you two?" Niall huffed, Zayn smirking behind his hand and Liam just looking completely lost.

"What do you mean Niall?" Louis asked, feigning innocence as he tilted his head.

"You're always touchy, but you're extra touchy if that's possible. And the heart eyes you're giving eachother are huge. Have you two fucked or something?"

"No." Louis answered simply.

"Okay." Niall shrugged, relaxing back into the sofa, the rest of the boys surprised at how easily he had given up.

Around 10 minutes later, once they had started up a film, Niall sat himself on Louis's lap, biting his lip to hide his smirk.

Harry immediately started glaring, Niall throwing his head back as he let out a loud cackle. "Look, it's jealous Harry! And the long hair Harry glare has returned!"

"I'm not jealous." Harry defended, "what would I be jealous of?"

"I have no idea." Niall spoke sarcastically, Liam and Zayn watching in amusement as he leaned back, getting comfortable.

"Oh for god's sake, we're dating." Harry revealed, slapping his hand over his mouth.

"Oh my god!" Niall jumped up excitedly, "they're dating!"

Harry sunk back into the sofa, crossing his arms with a pout. Louis put an arm around him, pulling him into his side.

"Did you know about this?" Niall pointed a finger at Zayn accusingly.

"I may have had an inkling."

"What inkling?"

"That Louis didn't ring me crying."

"How long has this been going on?"

"We've only been on one date, we're going on another this week."

"This is a literal dream come true, I've been waiting for this!" Niall grinned.

"Tell me about it." Harry murmured with a small smile.

"I'll be back in a minute." Louis announced, walking along the corridor to where the bathroom was. "Haz?"

"I'm okay-" Harry spoke quickly from behind the door.

"Can you open the door?"

"I'm fine."

"Harry? Please." Louis asked in a voice that was slightly stern.

Harry reluctantly unlocked the door, not wanting to make a scene. Louis sighed at the distressed looking boy, taking his hand gently.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm fine Lou."

"Darling, what's wrong?"

"I need to go home."

"Why?"

"I just need to get out of here, please Lou." He begged in a strangled voice, "please let me leave."

"Please Harry, what's wrong?"

"I ate too much, I need to go home."

"Harry, I can't let you throw it up-"

"Louis! I need to go home!" Harry repeated but louder, unshed tears threatening to spill.

"Okay, okay. Go and get in the car. I'll be out in a sec." Louis nodded with a frown.

Harry nodded gratefully, rushing outside to the car as Louis walked back into the living room.

"Um, we're gonna go if that's alright?"
