another stupid hate song

Chapter 23

Louis, through his sleep, heard a knock on the door, and then it opened.

"Hey, honey. Wake up. Time for school" he heard his mum say.

Louis opened his eyes and saw a neck. Harry's neck to be more specific. Louis widened his eyes and turned to his mum, who was watching between him and Harry with raised eyebrows.

"Uh" Louis said

His mum frowned and pointed toward the door, meaning Louis had to follow her. She left and he heard her go downstairs.

Louis turned to Harry and rubbed his arm gently to wake him up

"Harry, wake up" he whispered

Harry groaned and pushed the covers over his face in protest. Louis rolled his eyes and pushed the covers away

"Come on or we'll be late" Louis said lastly before putting sweatpants on and leaving his bedroom.

He climbed downstairs and found his mom in the kitchen. There were three cups of tea on the kitchen table, so Louis took one and brought it to his lips. He sat across from his mum, who watched him with raised eyebrows.

Seeing that Louis wasn't willing to talk first, she sighed and cleared her throat loudly, making Louis look up at her.

"So?" she asked

"Um?" Louis asked innocently

"Louis William Tomlinson, why is there your friend in your bed?"

"Sleepover?" he tried

"I thought that it was clear that you couldn't bring your boyfriend at home" she scolded gently

"He's not my boyfriend" he said, his mom looking at him skeptically before he continued "The guys came by yesterday and Harry stayed because he was tired"

"Okay, so why were you cuddling?"

Oh, that.  

Just before he had to answer, they heard someone in the stairs, so they turned to look at Harry. He was dressed -thankfully- and he was wearing his cute jumper from yesterday. His hair was loose and falling on his shoulders, his curls being pushed behind. He smiled shyly at Louis' mum.

"Hello, I'm sorry for staying over yesterday" he apologized

This guy was too good.

Jay smiled to him kindly "It's okay honey. I made you a cup of tea if you want"

"Oh, thanks so much" he smiled and took a cup

"No worries" she answered before looking at Louis "Go get dressed, or you'll be late. I'm leaving to work, see you tonight" she kissed Louis' cheek and Louis hugged her briefly

"Have a nice day" he smiled to her as she pulled back

She turned to Harry with a kind smile, which Harry returned "Bye, Harry" she waved at him

"Have a nice day mrs-"

"Johanna or Jay is fine. No mrs" she cut him off

"Okay" he said

With a last smile to both of them, she left. Harry turned to Louis and rubbed his neck in awkwardness.

"Sorry I stayed over last night" he smiled apologetically

"It's okay" Louis shrugged and got up

Louis put his now empty cup in the sink and washed it. Harry came beside him and leaned on the counter, giving Louis his cup. Louis smiled at him and washed it as well.
