Summary : Coffee Shop AU where Harry is 21 and famous and he has been in love since the moment he saw those cerulean blue eyes.

___

It's not like Harry hasn't ever spoken to Louis. They speak sometimes, like when Louis hands him his latte and blushes when Harry smiles up at him. They say "Hi" a lot and Louis spills the coffee on the table a lot, and "oops" is just an unavoidable phrase. Louis stutters a lot and Harry's heart pounds hard a lot, and Harry really wants to kiss him a lot as well.

Harry sits in the corner of the coffee shop a lot and Louis lets him out the backdoor when there's a lot of people in the shop. Every time Harry thanks him quickly with a breathless smile, and Louis always blushes and Harry bites his lip.

It's all almost a routine by now. It has been since Harry's band broke up a few months ago. They are really famous still, but when Liam's fiancé got pregnant he wanted to take time off. Zayn understands because he really wants to focus on his art more, and Niall would like to travel and actually get to see more of the places they went to when on tour. Harry understands as well, he's just still focused on the music. He is twenty-one and globally famous and he has no intention on quitting music. He has songs written in journals and most of them are about cerulean blue eyes. His first single was released three weeks ago and has been hitting the charts like a wrecking ball. There is nothing like the smile Louis gave him when he handed Harry his latte and said "congratulations" with that pretty glint in his eye.

Harry is in love.

It's a normal Tuesday night and Harry sits in the corner of the coffee shop. It's his spot and Louis always saves it for him. It's the one place he has a total view of the whole place, which means he can watch Louis bending down, but also the one place where he can't be seen easily.

Harry sits with his journal and phone in front of him, and he looks over at Louis.
He is wearing black jeans and vans, hair feathery in a tousled fringe and he is wearing that awful green shirt his job requires. He's absolutely breathtaking like always.

Harry looks down at his empty coffee cup, he thinks he's had three tonight already. He musters up all his courage, thinking he finally has to do it. He stands up and his heart starts to pound automatically as he with wobbly knees trudges over to Louis, where he is cleaning off the counter in the empty shop.

Harry clears his throat as he leans on the counter next to him and Louis whips up, eyes wide and cheeks flushed.

"H-hi," Louis stutters and Harry blushes right back at him. Louis' cheeks are pink and Harry wants to feel if they're as warm and soft as he thinks.

"Hello," he says awkwardly and his heart beats rapidly against his rib cage. He holds up the coffee cup and Louis arches his brow. It's really hot.

"Another one?" he asks and his voice is honey and milk, warm liquid and Harry wants to melt. He shakes his head.

"No," he says. "Um, I'm just returning the cup."

"Oh," he nods and Harry gulps. He hands him the cup and their fingers brush against each other.

Harry can't not hold on for a little longer, and his mind automatically does a mental "check". Louis does have soft skin.

Harry holds on until Louis looks up at him, eyes questioning. Harry finally lets go and Louis sets the cup down on the counter. They're so close and Harry can feel the scent of Louis, coffee and cologne in the air. He inhales and his stomach flutters. Louis.

Louis looks at him, just waiting for something to happen. Harry swallows and asks what he's been wanting to for a long time.

"D-d'you have twitter?" he stutters and it's so stupid. He wants Louis to read it because then he'll know, but it sounds silly.
