Take Me Back In Time [ Larry Stylinson AU ]

prologue

*No One's POV*

Harry Edward Styles and Louis William Tomlinson. Two names that the entire Hall Cross High School know. How could they ever forget? There's not a day when these two aren't constantly fighting. It's not just banter, either; it's throwing insults towards each other. No one can not hear them. It's impossible. But it wasn't always like this....

14 Years Previous

"Lou-eh!" Three-year-old Harry shouted toward his best friend.  

"Hazzz!" Louis slurred, purposely. Four-year-old Louis liked to make fun of how horridly Harry talked, because of his younger age. Even at the age of four, Lou was a prankster. He loved to mess with people.  

Harry ran in Louis' direction, colliding with the older boy. "Oi! Haz, be careful!" Lou mumbled to the now giggling kid. Trying to keep a straight face the older boy just stared at him. Fascinated by how humorous this was to him. After a few minutes, he finally gave into the contagious giggles exiting the younger's mouth, they now roll around on the floor laughing with each other.  

From a distance Jay and Anne (Lou and Harry's mums) were laughing to themselves while watching the little ones play together.  

"Aren't they just adorable? I told you they'd end up being best friends, just like us. But no, you doubted it. I told you so!" Jay bragged to Anne, while Anne just stared ahead at her little clumsy boy laughing with her friend's son, Louis.

"Yeah, yeah..." Anne muttered as a response, but that quickly turned into a grin once she looked over at her best friend, who just grinned back.  

  1 Year Later

  "BooBear, I'm scared..." Four-almost-five-year-old Harry shakily told the older boy. Louis enveloped Harry into a comforting hug.  

"You'll be fine, Haz. It's only Kindergarten. Nothing to be afraid of." He tried to reassure the younger. Although still shaking, Harry pulled away and nodded to him. With new found confidence he strode into the classroom slowly filling with children. Louis just laughed and walks in behind him.  

"Look at our little boys, so . . . close. They really will be best friends for a long time." Anne sighed watching the two walk into their classroom.

  "I can never say 'I told you so' enough, can I?" Jay asked her.  

"Apparently not." Anne grinned.

5 Years Later

"Louis, you're my best friend, and always will be." Nine-year-old Harry told Ten-year-old Louis.  

"Of course, Haz." He replied smiling at his best friend. "I wouldn't dream of not being your friend." He added, now full on grinning. Harry just returned the older's expression as they ran off to play in the park together.    

3 Years Later

-One Summer Night in July After 8th Grade-

"Lou, I'm worried... I've never seen her so mad before..." Thirteen-year-old Harry admitted to fourteen-year-old Louis.  

"Everything will be fine, Haz, don't worry." Lou mumbled into the younger boy's neck while they embraced in the middle of Lou's room after Harry had come over, very distraught.

According to him, Jay and Anne had been fighting with each other, not very nicely either. Spitting out insults like venom to the once best friends.

"I don't know, Lou...They sounded like they really meant it..." Harry mumbled biting his lip.

"Whatever happens, Haz, I'll still be your best friend. Nothing can separate us. I promise."  Lou reassured the younger boy.
