EXT. LOUIS' HOUSE, ROOFTOP - NIGHT
Louis and Harry has sneaked out on the rooftop outside Louis' window. They're sat next to each other, Louis with a cigarette in his hand and Harry with a blanket wrapped around him. The moon is out and it's peaceful and quiet.
LOUIS: "You know, I'm actually really glad you came here."
HARRY: (his whole face brightens up) "Really?" (Louis nods) "I'm happy I came here too."
LOUIS: (smiles) "You're sweet." (quiet snort) "I get why all my friends like you so much."
HARRY: (blushing) "Oh... They do?"
LOUIS: "Yep, the whole lot."
HARRY: "I like them too! A lot."
LOUIS: (puts out his cigarette, clears his throat) "Tell me, froggy. Why isn't exactly every guy after you? Like... you must be every gay guy's biggest crush. I mean, no homo, but you really tick a lot of boxes."
HARRY: (frowns) "I don't know about that..."
LOUIS: (rolls eyes playfully) "Ugh, come on Harold. You're probably like the picture perfect boyfriend. Who wouldn't want that?"
HARRY: (laughs, sarcastic) "Oh, yes. Probably why my ex left me."
LOUIS: (frowns, smiles) "Is that sarcasm I hear? It's like music to my ears."
HARRY: "Thought you'd like that..."
LOUIS: (nods) "I did." (clears throat) "But um, why...what--"
HARRY: (without emotion) "I just didn't work out. I ruined a lot of things, and he didn't deserve that in the end."
LOUIS: "You? Ruining things? Yeah, no. I call bullshit right here, right now."
HARRY: (pressed smile) "You'd be surprised..."
LOUIS: "Literally. Tell me one thing you do that isn't perfect. Bet you can't." (mumbled under his breath) "You stupid adorable little frog."
HARRY: "I get attached."
LOUIS: "I don't see how that's a bad thing."
HARRY: "No, like... I get... attached. Like really bad."
LOUIS: "Harry I honestly see nothing bad about that. My problem has always been the opposite. Some girl falls for me, I lead her on, and then when she's like... saying the L-word and I'm there like... Nah. I don't know." (frowns) "It's like, I know I should be catching feelings as well but I just... don't. Used to bother me quite a lot when I was younger, now I'm just...used to it."
HARRY: (quietly) "Maybe you just haven't met the right person yet."
LOUIS: (shrugs) "Yeah, whatever. I wouldn't be a good boyfriend either way."
HARRY: "What's a good boyfriend anyway?"
LOUIS: "Huh?"
HARRY: "Like...what's the definition of a good boyfriend? What makes you a good boyfriend?"
LOUIS: (laughs) "I don't know, you tell me."
HARRY: (sheepishly) "Maybe not then." (tiny) "Do you have any idea of how your perfect partner would be like?"
