an olive skinned man walked out of the room next to louis' and into the kitchen. he began to move the now empty cardboard boxes, stacking them next to their door. when he finished, he grabbed a glass of water and a small bowl from one of the cabinets. he made a fruit salad with strawberries, blueberries, pineapples, and kiwi, leaving some for his new roommate.
before he began to eat he opened the caramel haired boys door softly and walked to the bed. louis' hair was splayed across the pillow and he was on top of the blankets. he had nothing on except for a very tight fitting pair of black Calvin Klein briefs which contrasted greatly with everything else in his clean white room.
"wake up louis, c'mon. I've got your favorite breakfast." zayn slowly sat on the bed and pulled the somewhat smaller boy in his lap, cradling him like a baby. when he got no response he shook him and spoke a little louder.
"louis waaake uppp."
"please."
and this was the last time, or so help the black haired man.
"louis!"
the boy snapped his head up, gasping and almost falling off of his bestfriend.
"for god sakes, you could have woken me up a little less noisier." he grumbled at zayn, standing up and stretching.
"don't you think I tried that?"
"should of tried it again. now would you leave? I'm practically naked."
"I've seen you fully in the nude before louis. but fine. by the way, I made you your favorite breakfast. hurry up and get dressed."
"okay, mother."
with that last remark from louis, the taller was walking out and shutting the door behind him. louis sighed and flopped himself back down on the bed. as much as he did enjoy this 'new life', he did wish he saw a reason to actually get up out of bed. sure zayn made his favorite breakfast, sure they were going to be going out today, and sure maybe he did need a little exercise, but sure he also did love his room.
his room was basically heaven. he had deep brown hardwood floors, white walls that matched his white comforter. one wall was basically just glass, and it had a thin layer of white material hanging in front of it so nobody could see in (even though it was a bit transparent). he had fake plants some places, and a large wooden table across from his bed that he used as a desk. he also had some other small things, but he didn't need much. just a bed, a tv, and a desk.
after about 3 minutes he decided that it was time to get up. he found himself wearing jean shorts that were ripped up and game to his knees. he wore a light blue shirt that brought out his eyes, and his white vans. he also wore a gray SnapBack, the bill facing towards the back. he didn't wear hats like that any other way.
when he finished brushing his teeth and making sure he didn't smell like body odor, he made his way into the living room finding zayn on the couch finishing his fruit.
"my food in the kitchen?" louis asked, shifting his weight to one leg.
"yeah on the counter." zayn replied, not tearing his eyes away from the show that was playing.
the caramel haired boy found his food as soon as he walked in, smiling at how his bestfriend remembered every detail of his ideal breakfast.
he couldn't wait to begin eating the bananas, kiwis, and almonds all mixed together in a medium sized bowl along with some vanilla iced coffee.
he brought it back to the living room, sitting next to his roommate on the couch.
"thank you zayniee." he kissed the tan boy on the cheek and smiled.
"no problem babe." the other replied, smiling back at louis.
it was always like this. they called each other pet names and small signs of affection were shown but that was okay because they couldn't imagine themselves together in a million years. it was all just platonic.
"we're going out today."
"I know, zayn. you won't stop reminding me." louis sighed and took a sip of his coffee.
zayn chuckled and ate his strawberry before continuing.
"I'm just excited. we're going to a boardwalk. just imagine louis, what if I like meet someone. or do something crazy."
"you do that, I'll be getting a better tan." louis hummed and eyed the man sitting beside him.
zayn didn't pay his sourness any attention and continued to speak happily.
"I've already decided that we're going to the Venice beach boardwalk. it's not that far away actually. It sounds so fun." louis just smiled fondly at zayn's happiness. he was ecstatic to be living in california. it actually was a miracle finding a nice apartment they could live in rather than just renting.
"okay." louis replied simply and continued to eat the breakfast his roommate made for him.
-
about an hour later the two found themselves scrambling out of the apartment as fast as they could.
"louis why the hell did you spray so much febreze?!" zayn tried to keep his voice down while practically wheezing.
"it smelt terrible! I didn't think the handle thingy was going to get stuck! just shut up and lock the door. let's go already." louis replied holding his nose, making his voice sound nasally.
"okay, okay I am. damn." zayn mumbled and finally got the door to lock, walking away from louis.
"wait on me. im driving." louis scoffed and walked ahead of zayn, pulling out his keys and pressing the elevator button.
he didn't really like having to use an elevator, but he could manage.
when he heard a ding he turned to zayn and rolled his eyes, the raven haired boy understanding the frustration. when the doors opened a few people stepped out and louis almost pushed them to get in.
when him and zayn were finally in he let zayn push the button and he stood back. maybe going out and wading in the cool water, making a few friends wouldn't be so bad.
-
the two got into louis' car, and buckled up. the boardwalk was close, but not close enough to walk to. they would drive some and then park somewhere, walking the rest of the way.
"no zayn, leave the aux cord alone. im gonna play something." louis jerked the cord away, plugging it into his phone and then pressing a few buttons.
suddenly the spice girls-wannabe was blasting through the speakers and louis was singing along loudly. zayn cursed under his breathe, knowing what was coming up next.
louis poked his bestfriends side, and zayn finally gave in.
they sang along together, laughing and almost managing to get into a car accident.
when the song ended a small thrift shop came into view and zayn told louis to park there.
"we can just walk to rest of the way, it'll be easier I think." louis agreed and pulled in, finding a place to park.
they got out of the car and began walking side by side.
