my rose

first conversation

BEACH BABY- BON IVER
after a restless night sleep for harry, he was awoken by his alarm constantly ringing. he decided to listen to the annoying ringing sound and finally get up and get dressed. once he was ready he decided he was going to view his flat today but also look for some furniture. he was so excited to decorate again.
he headed out of the luxurious hotel, straight to his phone to call a taxi to get to his new apartment. whilst waiting in the sunshine for his taxi his mind drifted off to jobs. knowing he will have to get one soon, yet he was not too sure what to consider yet. he's always loved to cook, italy is the perfect place if you wanted to persue cooking so maybe he would consider that option. before he could think of any others, the taxi pulled up.
the drive to the flat was quick and calm. once he arrived he had all the necessary conversations with the man who showed him around and then he was finally left alone.
he pondered thinking whether this feels like home. once he gets the furniture in, he thinks, it will feel pretty homey. after looking at the 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and large kitchen ,which was his favourite, he finally made his way through the living room to the door. comparing to the places he's lived in the past, and that's a lot, this ones the best so he takes it. the man seemed extremely grateful once harry informed him on his decision.
harry decided now to go to the furniture shop, not likely to pick up anything but to get an idea of what italy sells.
some may call it fate or simply just a coincidence, however that morning as louis stumbled out of bed he smashed his lamp. he loved lamps, as strange as it sounded, he liked reading before bed and the lamp really set the mood as he hated all the lights in his house on. he could not sleep another night without one so he went to buy one. at no other than destino furniture shop exactly where harry was heading.
harry walked through the store amazed by how large it was, this was going to take him a while. he pondered around for a moment before going to the sofa section deciding what colour he should pick. he thinks maybe orange, bold, or green, soft, or maybe white? no. too basic. harry was the opposite of basic.
so as he decided on what colour sofa, green, same colour as his eyes which the thought of it made him chuckle. he loved looking at the lights too, in any store, he found it so fascinating. so he headed straight to lights. as he looked up at the hanging orbs of light he bumped into something. harry was often doing this, he's extremely clumsy.
he stumbles back and immediately looks down to see who he had fell into. no other than the man he had previously seen twice already, also previously escaped from twice.
"shit i'm.. oh.. um... i'm sorry" louis said nervously, taken back by the mans beauty but also familiarity as he knows exactly who he is.
"oh it's okay" harry smiles, wanting to escape the situation as per usual.
" sorry if this sounds weird but i swear i've seen you twice already, quite funny" louis chuckles, trying to make conversation hoping it would work.
"yeah yeah i think we have.. um.. smeraldo and that cute little cafe?" harry coughs knowing there is no way he can get away in this one.
"oh yes, i loved that cafe it was so cute, i'm 100% going back" louis smiled.
"me too.. well i best be off" harry cut the conversation short, not seeming to be rude but it unfortunately came out quite rude.
"oh okay well it's nice to meet you anyways.. my names louis by the way" louis informed him, wanting this stranger to know his name hoping for something more.
"you too and um.." harry pondered, wondering if he should give him his name.
"my names harry"
