Falling For The Impossible

14th November 2021

I sat in the stands, watching Louis swim with an agile form through the pool. It was Wednesday afternoon and I was here to watch his swim meet. His speed picked up and he passed first. He reached the yellow and a loud horn rang through the air. I clapped along with everyone else and watched as him and his rivals got out of the pool. Louis was given a medal and so was second and third. He wrapped a towel around his body and headed to the change rooms. Coming back out - he was in clean clothes.

I stood up from my spot and made my way down to him, squeezing through all the bodies. "Good job Gray," I smirked, watching his eyes widen.

"You watched me?" He asked, shocked. I shrugged and nodded. Then he did something unexpected - and pulled me into a hug.
"Thank you," he muttered into my neck and I felt my face heat up as I hugged him back.

He released me from his grip and let out an awkward cough. Only a few seconds later did one of the boys who were swimming appear in front of us. "This your girl Louis?" He asked, brushing his hair back. Louis shook his head and I felt my stomach swirl with emotions.

Stop.

"So you wouldn't mind if I got your number love?" He winked, stepping closer. I didn't like it when he called me love. 

Only Louis.

The boy had ginger hair he parted into curtain bangs and chocolate brown eyes - freckles splashed across his face like a galaxy of stars. When he grinned, his mouth went up one way in a boyish smirk. He had a small gap between his two front teeth and his forehead was covered from the pieces of hairs that lightly brushed against his skin.

He was no Louis.

I smirked up at Louis and nodded, not looking away from Louis' green eyes swirling with emotion, a frown appearing on his face. Looking at the boy, I nodded again and held out my hand for his phone, instead I was given Louis' hand as he gripped it and pulled me away.

I gasped and jerked back from him. "Hey!" I glared at him, rubbing my wrist. He sighed and let his head fall forward.
"Sorry," he mumbled - shaking his head.
"That's alright, I didn't want it anyway." I replied, winking at him. He scoffed and flipped me off whilst leading the way out of the pool. "Will you come back to my house?" He asked, opening the passenger door for me when droplets started falling from the sky.

"May as well so you don't have to travel an hour in this weather." He hummed and pulled out of the parking lot, getting onto the road. He kept clenching and unclenching his jaw so I placed my hand on his knee and started drawing circles.

"Relax Gray, you just won." I smiled up at him. He didn't look back at me but I heard what he mumbled under his breath.

"Fuck. The things you do to me." I turned my head to the window as a blush spread across my cheeks at that.

I ignored his statement from just before and left my hand on his knee. We finally arrived at his house and got out, running to the front door trying to hide from the rain and heading up to his room. I hopped on his bed as he made his way into the bathroom to have a shower.

10 minutes later, he came back in fresher clothes, I smiled up at him as he smiled back.

We only got 20 minutes of peace before a scream pierced the air. Sighing, the both of us got up and headed downstairs in a rush to find out what had happened.

"Percy got out." Bailey whimpered, as a 22 year old woman, she did act like a child at times.

"Well go get him," Louis replied back casually, turning to leave, I slapped his shoulder and rolled my eyes.

"We'll help you." Louis gasped at me as I pulled him outside into the pouring rain.

"Percy!"
"Stupid ass cat."
"Here kitty kitty!"

We all called out different things whilst searching for the cat.

That's when I heard a rustle in the leaves and lept for the moving figure behind the green. I grabbed Percy and pulled him to my chest, racing back to the other duo. "Found him," I panted, placing the cat into Bailey's arms.

"Thank you Annaliese,"she muttered, checking the cat over.

"Is he alright?" I asked, pulling a leaf off my jumper. She nodded and plucked a twig from my hair, throwing it behind her.

We sprinted for the house, desperate to get out of the rain, however Louis was just walking casually, his hands in his pockets of his sweatpants.

Once everyone was inside, we all filed back to the bedrooms.

"I like your hoodie Monet, really suits you," I looked towards Louis. Confused. He just grinned at me and shrugged. I walked into his bathroom and turned around in the mirror, on the back read 'SHS SWIMMING' with 'Gray' printed in dark grey bold letters under it. I must of grabbed the one he gave me last time I was here. I walked back out and sat on the bed, sending a glare at Louis whilst he winked at me.

Louis settled down in his gaming chair, setting up his pc. I laid down in his bed, turning on my side. I started thinking about what had happened so far during my time of talking to Louis.

I saw his scars.

He didn't know I knew but I needed to tell him I knew. I was getting kind of bored sitting here thinking and I needed a way to get Louis' attention.

"Louissss," I whined, turning to where he sat. He ignored me, keeping his focus on the screen and I frowned.

I smirked as an idea came to me. I moaned Louis' name and grinned as he turned his head quickly around to look at me. He shook his head and looked back at the game.

I scowled at the back of his head and got up, placing one hand on the back of his chair, I straddled his lap and put my hands around his torso whilst resting my head on his chest. He rearranged his arms to wrap them around my body and rest his chin on my head. I smiled slightly and closed my eyes, succumbing to sleep.

Waking up was another story. We both lay facing away from each other on the bed where he must of moved us and I didn't like that. I turned towards him and wrapped my arms around his middle, not caring about being the big spoon. I didn't like it but at the moment I just wanted to be near him. With only 12 days left - I knew I was falling in love with this boy.

And I continued to fall more in love with him as he shifted in his sleep, turning over to me and subconsciously pulling me to his chest, pushing his face into my neck as his eyelashes tickled me slightly. He was so warm and close and I felt my heart skip a few beats from how many butterflies were dancing around.

Now here we lay, in each other's arms as I figure out ways on how to go about this.

"Morning," I heard a husky voice from my neck, he lifted his head up but kept his grip on me tight.
"Did you sleep well?" He asked, staring into my eyes. I completely ignored his question.

"We need to talk."
