"Yeah. Sorry I haven't been speaking to you for a while now. I've come to London all the way from Doncaster. Yeah, I've joined the Uni. No, he doesn't know. Don't worry, the third part of our plan will work out, it won't be no big deal. Today's Saturday, so on Monday, yeah. Now I gotta go, talk to you soon."

Liam, Zayn and Gemma made plans among themselves. They had decided they would set Louis and Harry together, just like how they had set up Liam and Zayn together. They were making spaghetti for lunch because Liam said spaghetti made Louis happy. While Gemma and Liam were cooking, Zayn walked to the common room and saw Harry and Louis weren't there. He saw that Harry's bedroom door was closed.

He smirked to himself but moved stealthily to Harry's room. He opened the door without any sound and what he saw made him smile fondly.

Louis and Harry were sleeping, with Harry's head on Louis' chest. One of Louis' arms were in Harry's hair, the other behind his back. Harry's hands were locked around Louis' waist. It looked like Louis was holding onto a Harry like a baby, very securely. Both were sleeping with their sweaters and pants on.

Zayn murmured an "Aww" and moved away from the room to the kitchen. He told Liam, "They're sleeping together." Liam's eyes widened, "Already? I thought we'd have to set them up first but if they're already-" "I mean literal sleeping Li, not having sex." Zayn said, rolling his eyes. Gemma burst out laughing and Liam facepalmed.

"Who actually sleeps at 12 in the afternoon?" Liam asked.

"I guess Larry..." Zayn replied. "Larry?" Gemma asked. "Louis+Harry=Larry?" Zayn replied.

"Cool name. Powerful." Gemma complimented.

"Thanks." Zayn shrugged.

"Fine, after lunch, we'll do the first part of our plan, alright?" Gemma said. "Aye aye, captain!" Zayn said, giggling.

Harry was the first to wake. His eyes flickered open, and he saw Louis' closed eyelids. He smiled to himself. Thank God he had told Louis he was tired and wanted to sleep. Louis had agreed and said that he was tired too. After lying on the bed, he told Louis that he'll have to adjust on the bed, because it was a bit small for them. So, Louis said they could sleep a bit close, and they eventually ended up cuddling. Neither of them objected of course.

He nuzzled his nose into Louis' chest further and held onto him tighter. It was like Harry was afraid, afraid that if he let Louis go, Louis will never be his. Such thoughts were often occurring in Harry's head, not that he would tell anyone. Hence, the tears welled up in his eyes. He buried his face further into Louis' chest.

At this, Louis woke up. The first thing he saw was a mass of curls on his chest. He sighed happily. Assuming Harry was asleep, he buried his face into Harry's hair. Harry was surprised at that but pretended he was asleep. He heard Louis whisper in his hair, "Why didn't I meet you earlier Haz? How I wish I had met you instead of him, in high school." Pause. Harry worried his tears would slip out, but Louis spoke again, "Just never let me go Harry, I'll break worse than before."

Harry thought he would cry right away. Why was Louis saying all this to him? Did he also-nope. Impossible. Why would Louis fall for Harry? Harry could see no reasons. He kept his eyes closed and movements minimal. He felt Louis cry silently in his hair, but he couldn't say anything. They stayed quiet like this, cuddled into each other, for a while till their door creaked open. Both Harry and Louis shut their eyes immediately.

The left end of their bed sunk down. Liam shook Louis gently and said, "Louis, wake up. It's 1 in the afternoon now cmon. We've got to eat lunch and play truth or dare, remember?" Liam knew Louis was never a deep sleeper and hence, Louis woke up immediately and nodded at Liam slowly. "Wake Harry too and come ASAP." Liam said and exited the room.
