Louis answered Harry's call, propping his phone up against a book on his desk. Harry's cheerful face appeared on the screen.

"Hi!" he exclaimed, and Louis felt his eyes crinkle at the corners as he smiled.

"Hey Harry," he said, cursing himself out mentally for being so happy to see the boy.

Harry stifled a yawn, rubbing his eyes and then reaching out of frame to grab a paper.

"Tired?" Louis asked amusedly. Harry nodded, looking up from his search for a pencil.

"Exhausted. I've had a long day."

"Well, let's get to work then, I don't want to keep you too long," Louis said with a soft smile, turning to his computer.

They worked in silence for a while, and Harry spent half his time fighting sleep and brushing hair from out of his eyes. Louis quickly grew bored with his work, but he did his best to continue on.

Eventually, Harry became tired of moving his hair from his eyes. He ran his hands through his hair, pulling it away from his face into a bun, and Louis lost focus in his work once again, instead turning to his phone, mesmerized.

"You alright?" Harry asked, looking over, and Louis snapped back to attention.

"Oh, yeah, I just, uh, I got a notification." Harry nodded and turned back to his work, seemingly accepting his answer. A strand of hair fell into his face and he frowned, brushing it out if his face, but it soon fell back down.

"Damn it," Harry whispered. Louis laughed lightly, and his fingers itched to tuck the strand behind Harry's ear for him. Kiss him on the cheek after, maybe. But he couldn't, being a city apart and all that. And you don't know how he feels, Louis reminded himself.

He tore his eyes from his phone, turning back to his work, but soon he was distracted again, this time by a faint snoring noise.

"Harry? Is that you?" No response. Louis looked over at his phone to see Harry slumped over at his desk, fast asleep. Louis smiled fondly.

"Night, Harry," he said quietly, ending the call and setting his phone down to focus on his work.

As an afterthought, Louis grabbed his phone again, sending a quick message.

louist91: get some rest curly :)
