Yours truly, princess (AU)

Chapter - 9

"Are you asking me to be your date, Louis?"

"Not like a date, Harry, I'm not gay... " Louis says.

Who are you lying to Louis? 

"Oh, what do you mean then?"

"I meant, like... you've said no to so many girls because they weren't Amelia. And even I don't feel like going with anyone, I've recently had a break up. So like... what about both of us go without a date, but enter the party together?"

"Oh. Sounds okay to me... Amelia isn't going to say yes to me anyway... "

"Great, so I'll pick you up at 5 on Friday then?"

"Sure... "

"Cool, now I'll book a cab for you."

"Louis, I can walk back home, I'm okay... "

"Are you sure?"

"Very much, yes."

"Okay then, text me when you reach home safely," Louis says and leaves.

He's blushing. Even though Harry isn't officially his 'date', he is his date in a way. Louis is now one step closer to being Harry's boyfriend. Maybe it is a very small baby step, but it does count.

"So you're telling me that you asked Harry to go to prom with you and he said yes?" Liam asks.

"Well, I tricked him into saying yes. He thinks that we're going as friends," Louis replies. 

"It doesn't matter whatever he thinks, Louis. You got Harry to be your prom date and that is all that matters. You literally did what three-fourth of our school couldn't... " Zayn says.

"Well, Harry and I are meant to be together, you know," Louis says with a smile. 

"You're fucking blushing, whipped," Zayn says with a smile.

"Oh shut up Zayn."

"Well, I think that we should leave now," Liam says, "Zayn has to set up his DJ there."

"None of you have dates?" 

"Perrie has some commitment so she wont be able to make it, and I don't have a date because I don't feel like it... I'm still not over Sarah, Louis." 

"Oh. And... what about... what about Niall?"

"So you care about Niall... " 

"No Liam, I was just curious. He'll probably be going with a golf club... "

"He actually has a date, that's why he's not going with us," Liam replies.

Oh. Niall has a date? How does Niall have a date? Anyway, Louis doesn't care about Niall. They aren't friends anymore. This sounds so weird to even think, but yes, they aren't friends anymore. 

Louis goes upstairs to his room to get ready after Liam and Zayn leave his house. After some time, he walks downstairs, wearing a white shirt with blue pants and a blue blazer. He had planned to put a rose instead of a pocket square, but that would be too extra. Although he doesn't know it, Louis looks gorgeous in this outfit. 

"Ready to pick up your date?" Lottie asks just as Louis is about to leave.

"He's not my official date, Lotts," Louis says as he blushes. 

"Oh c'mon, if this isn't official, I don't know what is."

Louis doesn't reply to this, he just keeps smiling, and very clearly blushing.
