Larry Smut Book Bottom!Harry From Ao3

Tears on the Bathroom Tile

Maybe it's just the alcohol making Harry feel so emotional, but in his heart, he suspects not. The tears falling down his cheeks are as honest as they could be as he hides out in his own bathroom, hearing Louis' words all too well from the room next door as he lists the names of the people he's slept with for the other guys. Harry has pined for Louis for years, but they have never slept together. But that doesn't stop Louis from mistakenly including Harry's name in his 'list'.

"Wanker," Harry swore staring down at the text message on his phone. "Wanker, wanker, wanker," he repeated. Not yet ready to respond, the boy with the green eyes scrolled through his contacts and called Niall. "Louis' a fucking wanker," he claimed before his friend could even finish his 'hello'.

"Why, what happened?" Niall sounded understandably confused.

"He broke up with her," Harry sighed not bothering to say the girl's name. The syllables were always far too painful on his tongue.

"Again?" Niall was definitely rolling his eyes. "What are they fighting about this time?"

"No idea," Harry replied. "But Louis' just text me asking if we can all hang out at mine so that I can cheer him up."

"And that's bad?" Niall still sounded confused.

"Yes," Harry practically hissed. "It's completely insensitive. He breaks up with her for like the hundredth time this month and he expects me to be the one to cheer him up. Selfish prick. He knows how I feel about him. He knows I won't say 'no' to him. This is all so shit, it's not fair. They'll end up getting back together in a couple of days anyway."

"We don't know that," Niall reasoned. "It could be over for good this time. And I'm sure Louis isn't deliberately trying to be an insensitive arsehole. You should take it as a compliment that you're the one person who can always cheer him up. And does he really know how you feel? It's not like you've ever actually told him."

"Oh, he knows," Harry insisted. "I know that he knows. And he knows that I know that he knows. You know?"

"Um... sure," Niall decided to simply agree. "So, what time should me and the lads come round to yours then?"

Less than an hour later, a few close friends were gathered in Harry's small flat, drinks flowing as Harry moved over to his CD player, putting in a CD he knew Louis would enjoy.

"Yes, mate, fucking tune," Louis approved.

They drank, they laughed, they smoked, they talked shit about Louis' ex as well as singing at the top of their lungs and reminiscing about their school days.

"It's definitely over for good this time," Louis told them all firmly. He truly sounded like he meant it. But then, he had sounded equally sure on all the other occasions he claimed the relationship to be truly over. "I'm done with her. It isn't happening, never again."

"If you say so, mate," Zayn commented dryly.

"Why'd you break up?" Liam asked curiously.

"She's just too much you know?" Louis sighed as he opened a fresh can of beer. "Too clingy, too needy, gets jealous too easily. I don't need that. This time it's definitely over for good. So... cheers to being single, hey lads?"

"Cheers," Niall, Zayn and Liam laughed. Harry smiled weakly as he gulped down some more of his vodka and coke.

"Hey, Lou, how many people have you actually slept with?" Zayn asked and Liam and Niall both perked up, eager for the answer. Harry however was sure he didn't care to hear a response.
