Fragile Blue | Larry Stylinson

As the door opened, I heard a quiet giggle.

"There." I heard Harry mutter.

Shortly afterwards, Harry was standing in the living room with a girl. Red hair, grayish eyes and freckles. Damn it, she even looked good!

"Avery, these are my friends. Guys, this is Avery. My girlfriend." Harry introduced the girl.

My girlfriend.

Those two words were a big deal to me. A way too big deal.

"Blue!" Harry's voice tore me from my thoughts.

He crouched in front of me and looked directly into my eyes.

Crap!

That didn't help at all. It didn't make it any better to look into those beautiful, taken eyes.

"Mhh." I said quietly.

"Are you okay? Avery tried to shake hands with you, but you didn't react." he explained.

I nodded and held out my hand to Avery, though not willingly. Shortly after she shook it, I pulled my hand away again.

"And that's Louis." Liam added and looked at me a little confused and questioning.

This Avery girl nodded and then sat on the two-seater. Harry right next to her. However, he still looked over at me, slightly worried.

"I'd suggest we watch a movie now. There is a new movie on Netflix since yesterday." Zayn tried relax the tense mood.

Liam agreed and turned on Netflix right away.

I just couldn't concentrate on this stupid movie. My gaze was constantly on Harry and his red-haired girlfriend, who was also looking at me.

Wait what!?

She smiled nastily at me and snuggled up against my Harry.

"I'm going to get some new popcorn." I whispered to Zayn and got up with the big but empty popcorn bowl.

I walked quickly into the kitchen and put a new bag of microwave popcorn in the microwave.

I winced when suddenly two arms wrap around me. Thanks to the scent, I could smell who it was right away.

Harry.

My heart beat faster immediately.

"Everything okay?" he asked, resting his chin on my right shoulder.

He was taller than me. I hated it being small, or at least everyone said it when I wasn't, but I loved that Harry was taller than me.

"Y-yes wha-what's s-supposed to be wrong?" I stuttered nervously.

"Well, first that thing with Avery in the living room, then that restlessness while the movie and now you're stuttering. It's funny." he enumerated.

"No, everything's fine. J-just didn't tell me anything about her. It was surprising. N-nothing more." I tried to say without stuttering.

"Okay. How do you like Avery?" Harry asked straight away.

"She's nice." I answered very shortly.

"Nice? Lou, nice is-" he started but luckily the beeping of the microwave interrupted him.

Quickly, albeit with a heavy heart, I pulled myself out of his arms and took out the bag of popcorn. I tore it open and wanted to pour the contents, but a hot grain of corn popped out of the bag towards me.

"Fuck." I hissed and put my hand on my forehead.

It didn't hurt that much, but it was kind of damn hot. Not like Harry, but--

LOUIS! Pull yourself together!

"Are you okay? Did you hurt yourself?" Harry asked worriedly, walking towards me.

He took my hand from my forehead and looked at it. He stroked the spot which was left behind by the hot grain and then put his lips on it. It immediately began to tingle.

"It's nothing serious. Just a little red spot. It'll be gone soon, darling." he whispered and winked at me before going back into the living room.

Don't freak out...

I stood still in front of the bowl of popcorn and stared into it. Internally, however, I escalated.

"Louis, where's the popcorn?" I heard Liam calling from the living room.

I took a deep breath and joined the others in the living room.

After another movie I heard faint kissing sounds. I turned to Harry and saw the reason right away. He and Avery literally fell over each other.

Well, that's a bit much...

I got up quickly and left the living room without a word.

"Louis?" I heard Zayn calling, but I just ignored it.

I ran until I got to my room and closed the door behind me.
