When green meets blue

"So Niall's mum was really mad at me." Louis said when they all had taken a seat by their usual table.

"What did you do?" Zayn asked.

"Oh, Romeo here spent the night at Harry's." Niall smirked.

Harry blushed but Louis came to his rescue.
"We fell asleep Niall, you know that."

"Yeah, I'm sorry about my mum. She can be so overprotective." Niall said.

"Your mum is a great mum. She cares. Anyhow, ehm, she wants to talk to your mum Harry to discuss some ground rules or whatever. I hope that's okay?" Louis said and turned to look at Harry.

Great, then his mum would know that he snuck a boy into his room.
"I guess."

"Does your mum know, uhm, about me? Like, that I'm a boy?" Louis asked carefully.

"Of course. Don't worry about that. She's cool with it." Harry smiled.

The conversation between mums came faster than they had anticipated. When Harry came home from school that day his mum informed him that Louis would come over in an hour with Mrs. Horan. He ran to his bedroom to change clothes and to make sure that his hair looked good. An hour later there was a knock on the front door and he got out of his room to greet Mrs. Horan and Louis. They sat down at the kitchen table and Anne made them some tea.
"So boys, I have been informed that you Louis snuck inside my sons' room last night and spent the night, is that correct?"

"Yes, I'm sorry." Louis mumbled.

"Mum! We just slept." Harry whined, cheeks red from embarrassment.

"I glad to hear that but you're sixteen years old Harry. We have to make up some ground rules." Anne smiled.

"I'm turning seventeen soon. I'm not a child." Harry muttered.

"You're still underaged." Anne started firmly. Louis was twisting uncomfortably in his chair.

"We're not trying to keep you two apart. Finding your soulmate is a wonderful, beautiful experience but you're still so young." Mrs. Horan said with a smile. Harry and Louis glanced at each other shyly.

"Louis, Harry has to be home at ten on school nights, one on the weekends. I hope you're gonna respect that?" Anne said and Harry sunk further down in his chair. His mum was so embarrassing.

"Of course." Louis immediately agreed.

"Same goes for you, Louis. I know we haven't really discussed that yet but it will be easier for me if you and Niall have the same rules." Mrs. Horan said.

"It's okay. I don't mind." Louis smiled.

"No sneaking out in the middle of the night to see each other. Understood? You almost gave me a heart attack when you weren't in your bed this morning." Mrs. Horan said.

"I'm sorry. It won't happen again." Louis mumbled.

"You're always welcome here Louis and you can spend the night as long as I know about it." Anne said.

"Same goes for you, Harry." Mrs. Horan said.

"But not school nights." Anne chipped in.

"Okay." Harry and Louis said at the same time.

"Good. I think that was all for now. Maura and I have the right to change or add rules whenever we feel the need to. Okay?" Anne smiled.

"Okay." Harry and Louis agreed.

They got up and headed to Harry's room while Anne and Maura drank another cup of tea.
"I can't believe my mum is okay with you staying the night. I thought she would go ballistic." Harry said and then he blushed for bringing that up.

Louis just smiled. They had entered Harry's room and he closed the door behind them. Louis took his hand and pulled him closer. He pressed Harry's palm against his own, comparing hand sizes. His eyes flickered to Harry's lips and he pulled him even closer by the hip and connected their lips. He ran his hand through Harry's hair and brushed his thumb on his hipbone underneath his t-shirt. Harry's legs felt like jello. He wrapped his arms around Louis's neck and they got into it. When they broke free they were both affected.
"Can I take you out on a date on Saturday?" Louis asked.

"Yes." Harry smiled.

There was a knock on Harry's bedroom door and they broke free.
"Louis? It's time to go home for dinner." Maura shouted through the closed door.

"Okay." Louis answered.

He caressed Harry's cheek and gave him one last peck.
"Later, baby." He winked before he let go and went after Maura.

Baby? He liked that. Harry's stomach was filled with butterflies. This Louis was someone he could fall in love with easily.

He let out a happy sigh before he headed to the kitchen to help his mum with dinner.

The rest of the week went by fast and Harry got ready for his date on Saturday. Louis rang the doorbell at six and Anne let him inside. Harry ran out of his bedroom and stopped in his track as soon as he laid eyes on Louis. He looked great!
"Hi, Styles. Looking good." Louis greeted.

"You too." Harry said.

He grabbed his jacket and put his shoes on and shouted a goodbye to his mum before they headed outside.
"So Maura will pick us up later. Is it okay if we take the bus downtown?"

"Of course." Harry smiled.

They walked to the bus stop and a bus arrived a few minutes later. Louis took him to a burger place and paid for his meal and they ate and talked. When they were done they continued to the movie theatre. They watched some bad horror movie but it gave Harry the opportunity to muzzle his nose in Louis's neck whenever a scary scene came on. Louis had his arm around his shoulders the whole time.

Maura was waiting outside the movie theatre.
"Did you have a great time?" She asked as soon as they were inside the car.

"The best." Harry beamed and Louis took his hand in his.

Louis followed him to the door and kissed him goodnight before he went home with Maura. That had been the perfect first date.
