As Harry wanders around the resort, he comes across a hot tub in a nice secluded area. He isn't sure if it is supposed to be reserved or if it belongs to a certain group, but he figures that after the long day he has had, he should be able to soak in the warm water. So Harry removes his black t-shirt and lays it nicely across a chair, where he sets the rest of his things and a towel he found by the pool. He steps into the steaming water, immediately being relaxed by the heat. He can feel his muscles losing their tenseness, and he leans his head back, looking up into the cloudless sky. He could get used to this.

He thinks back on the day so far, from the airport to the taxi, the rude lady at the check-in desk, and even to meeting a cute boy in the elevator. So far, Harry has no idea how this vacation is going to go. 

On a whim of spontaneity, Harry picks up his phone, searching for the recently put-in contact. When he finds Louis' name, he types out a quick message, inviting him to the hot tub.

Meet me at the hot tub behind the pool? - H

Harry waits a few seconds before a response pops onto his screen.

on my way :)

Suddenly, he starts to feel nervous. Why did he do that? He's not usually this bold! Harry takes a few deep breaths to calm his rapidly beating heart, and closes his eyes as he leans his head back into it's original spot, waiting for his guest.

Harry rests in the hot tub for quite a while, enjoying the quiet and calmness of this environment, as he quickly forgets that he invited Louis. Then he hears a rustle in the bushes by the entrance to the area he is in. Startled, Harry stands up, quickly starting to shiver as the cool air hits his wet body. He stares at the entrance, waiting for the intruder to reveal themselves. Instead of a random stranger, Louis comes walking through, smiling as he looks Harry up and down.

"Well hello, Curly." Louis greets, setting his things down on a chair across from Harry's. "Mind if I join you?"

Harry blushes at the nickname and shallows the lump in his throat, before nodding and sitting back down. He would love for Louis to join him in the hot tub. Louis chuckles to himself at Harry's reaction before teasingly slipping off his shirt slowly, making sure to face his back to Harry so it would be a surprise. As Louis turns around, Harry closes his eyes, wanting to elongate the reveal. He hears Louis climb into the water and swim over to him, stopping in front of his knees. Harry keeps his eyes closed, just to tease Louis back.

"Open your eyes, you wanker" Louis says, fake offended. Then Harry feels delicate hands, tracing his cheek bones and feeling their way up to his eyes. Louis' fingertips dance along Harry's eyelashes before gently pushing open his eyes, leaning in to make intense eye contact with Harry. Realizing how close Louis is, Harry's eyes snap open and he jumps slightly.

Louis just laughs again and steps back into the water. Harry watches as Louis twirls in circles, humming to himself.

"So tell me about yourself, Louis. How old are you? Where are you from?" Harry starts, curious about the boy, who is spinning in front of him.

"I'm 23, and I'm from Doncaster." Louis replies, still twisting elegantly through the water. Harry nods and notes that information in his mind.

"What about you?" Louis says, breaking the silence after a moment.

"I'm 21, and I'm from Holmes Chapel." Harry replies, tapping his fingers nervously across the surface of the water. Louis takes notice of Harry's nerves before taking a step forward, grabbing Harry's hands and forcing him to look him in the eyes.
