This school year was an exciting one for Louis. He could join the soccer team and he absolutely could not wait. That's all he'd been talking about this whole week as they prepared for another school year.

Harry on the other hand, wasn't too thrilled. He wasn't allowed to do soccer, he wasn't allowed to do anything normal preteens could do.

In Harry's eyes it just made him stick out even more...he wasn't really wrong though, it did make him stick out. The rest of his peers thought he was weird because honestly he still looked like a child and he just didn't do well socially.

It was the night before the first day of school, and tryouts. Louis and Harry had been texting back and forth

L: I'm so nervous. What if I don't make it?
H: You will Lou don't worry about it. You're one of the best in the school! They need you.
L: Thanks for hyping me up Haz, wish me luck
H: Good luck:)

Naturally, Louis made the team as he was just really talented when it came to soccer.

Although being upset he couldn't participate in anything himself, Harry was so excited for his friend and wanted to support him no matter what.

Today was Louis' first game and both boys were beyond excited for Louis. It was a chilly September afternoon...so to Harry that meant it was freezing.

Practically the whole school was getting ready to go out to the soccer pitch and watch the game. Since Louis was already warming up, Harry walked to the bleachers himself on his skinny little legs.

He was all bundled up in like three jackets, one of them being a big puffer one, and two pairs of pants. But that didn't stop the wind from blowing its way into his jacket and hitting his sensitive skin.

He sat down on the bleachers, he was on the very bottom row and he was all alone. He had his hands in his jacket pockets, while trying to bury his face into his jacket so that only his eyes were visible. The wind was chapping his skin and he honestly felt kind of miserable.

But he still wanted to support Louis so he sat through it, not thinking it was that bad once the game started.

That is...until the started sleeting, little cold raindrops falling down on him while he sat there. It made him feel really cold and he started to shiver as he sat there. His nose started to run from it being so cold and he honestly kind of wanted to go home.

But he stuck it through, all the way until the end when Louis ran up to him, all sweaty in his soccer uniform. He had a big smile on his face because they'd just won the match.

Harry smiled a little as he was shivering, people passed him going out of the stands and he waited for Louis. His bones were all cold and he just felt frigid, almost to the point where he couldn't move.

Louis came over to him with a big bright smile on his face and he was all jumpy with adrenaline from the game. "We won Harry!" Louis jumped up and down, hugging him and Harry smiled. He was happy for his friend but he just felt so cold.

"My mum is waiting to take us home, ready?" Louis asked as he let go of Harry.

Harry nodded, not thinking he walk all that way because his legs were aching from the cold. "Could you maybe give me a piggy back?" Harry asked, knowing sometimes Louis did that when he didn't feel like walking.

"Yeah of course, hop on!" Louis smiled, bending over for his small friend to get on his back. Harry slowly climbed onto his back and waited to be carried to Jay's car.
