2 YEARS AGO

★Chapter 27★

(LOUIS)

"Alright class, let's call it a day. Don't forget to read the case studies i gave out on domestic violence. Be very analytic because you'll need to know all of it by Friday."

I leaned against the wall, watching Harry's class fan out. Niall had told me where Harry would be and that they don't take this class together. Surprising since they're in the same year of law school and alot of people seem to attend the class. Anyway, i hoped to catch up to him just to see if he was okay. After i left him when he fell asleep in my arms last night, i figured he wouldn't want any more confrontations or questions. But its been almost a day now and i just wanted to see him.

"Hi blue."

I was wacked out of my thoughts by a very familiar and cute voice. Infront of me stood one of the only people that could basically take my breath away. Harry Styles. He had his hair up in a messy bun today and just that caused all my movements to pause. Same old skinnies and a white tee that held him in all the right ways. His cross necklace just showed a little bit around his neck.

It's a crime to look that good on a normal fucking Wednesday.

"Blue?" i ask confusingly.

He chuckles and replies, "Yeah, 'cause your eyes are blue."

"So should i therefore call you green?"

"Only if you want to, Blue." he smiles widely, teeth and dimples prominently showing. The sight just made me break out into a blushy smile of my own. I thought about the pet name for a bit and remembered how i used to call him angel. I wouldn't dare call him that now, not knowing how he'd react. It's just safer being slow with each other right now. We can't just dive back into being our old selves after everything that's happened. We're friends, i tip toe around Harry because im too scared to push my boundaries. I know he still carries his emotions on his sleeve. I don't want him to be uncomfortable around me.

Harry gestures for us to walk and so we do. People are still in the process of switching classes so its a bit crowded.

"Were you looking for Niall 'cause we don't take this class together." he asks.

"No, actually i came looking for you."

"To what do i owe the pleassure Mr. Tomlinson?" He's definately in a good mood, i don't even know why i was so worried. I am glad he's happy though, seeing him cry last night broke my heart. He's too pretty to be all red and wet from tears. I couldn't take it.

"Just checking if you're okay."
Before i could get a reply, i felt him turn and push towards me so that i was staggering backwards and he was walking normally infront if me. When there was nowhere left to walk and my back was up against the wall, he placed his hand beside my head and tilted his a little to the right. He had a sly smirk on his face making me cock an eyebrow at him. It took a while to adjust to the sudden change of body language. I could myself heating up the minute he came this close to my body.

"I was going to come looking for you anyway," he whispers into my ear, "to ask you something."

"And what would that be?" i look into his green eyes when he brings his head up, innocently ignoring this very provocative position we were in. He had me pinned so close between him and the wall that even my head movement was limited. His lips were parted and i could feel his warm breath every time he lowered his mouth to my neck. I could tell it was intentional.
