Not My Cup of Tea // L.S.

*9*

Louis and Harry rushed upstairs like their lives depended on it. "Do you think something went wrong?" Louis asked. "I don't know Lou, but something's definitely happened. Good or bad." Harry replied.

The opened the door with Louis' key to see Liam and Zayn in all smiles. Liam's hair was all messy and Zayn's jacket was almost torn. "Hi guys." Liam said. Louis was happy that Liam sounded cheery and happy. "Hey Payno. You alright now?" Liam nodded. "So... did you both sort it out or something?" Harry asked. Liam and Zayn looked at each other before Zayn answered, "We sure did. It's all good now." "Not good, brilliant. Everything's brilliant now." Liam said with a grin.

Louis and Harry looked at each other and smiled. They did it. Ziam were now together, happier than ever. "Okay then. Are you gonna stay here Zayn or?" Louis asked.

"As much as I want to, I have night shift today at the bar and if I don't go right now, I might get fired." Zayn said and Liam pouted, "Why can't you just skip it today? I'm ready to skip my night shift for you. I anyhow have fever so I can't work tonight." "I can't babe, sorry. I'll stay here tomorrow night, since I have an evening shift. Is that any better Li?" Zayn fondled over Liam and Harry thought they were really cute. "Okay Zaynie, see you tomorrow in Uni then." Liam said defeatedly. "Can't wait to go to Uni as a taken man, babe." Zayn said with a big smile.

Liam and Zayn got up from the bed and hugged each other before wishing each other goodbyes and goodnights. Harry turned to Louis as he thought Liam and Zayn would take a while to break apart. "Lou?"

"Yeah?"

"I'm sorry I asked you that question in the car."

"What?"

"I shouldn't have asked you about your crush."

"No Haz, don't apologize. You didn't know and it's fine. Just don't ask me about him ever again because I don't like to think about my past. Please?" Louis asked.

"Sure, I'm sorry." Harry apologized.

"Don't be sorry babe, it's fine." Louis said with a smile and Harry couldn't help stare at Louis when his eyes crinkled at the corners. He didn't know how long they had been staring at each other until Zayn said, "Okay Harry, let's go."

Harry looked away from Louis and that was when Louis finally realized he liked Harry's eyes.

Oh no. Oh shit. Oh fuck. Oh god. I like his eyes? I shouldn't. I should stop this. Louis thought. He was ashamed of himself for losing control over himself. How could he? It was the first time in two years he had lost control over his feelings.

He snapped out of his thoughts when Harry said, "Bye Lou. See you tomorrow. Thanks for making all this work. I can't believe we worked together for our friends after barely knowing each other for a day." Louis looked at him. He was tongue-tied. He nodded and smiled. He didn't realize what he was doing until Harry hugged him back. He broke the hug and said, "See you tomorrow Hazza." Harry nodded and left the dorm with Zayn.

Harry sat quiet when Zayn drove them back to their dorm. Zayn said, "You know, Liam is a very sweet guy, sweeter and kinder than I thought. He likes me from two years too, you know? I feel like I'm the happiest man alive. Thank you so much for helping me with this, Harry. It means a lot and I don't think I can ever repay you." "It was nothing Zayn. After all, that's what friends are for. Helping and caring for each other." Zayn smiled. Zayn turned on the radio and 'I Knew I Loved You' by Savage Gardens quickly filled the car.

Maybe it's intuition
