inferno // l.s.

twenty three

warning for slight homophobia and uh...littlebitofsmut 👀🥴

—-

after a heavy, calm and adult talk between louis and mitch (with harry supervising — even though mitch is his best friend and brother, he wouldn't hesitate to strike the man if he came toward louis in the wrong way), louis proposed they put up signs in the club to inform customers and staff members about the angel shot and how it can be asked for. just in case another incident like this arises, louis won't be the only one to know what to do because what if something like that happened while he wasn't at the club?

mitch admitted his faults. he owned up to his mistake of not understanding louis' point of view when it came to putting others first in that scene.

harry was right. louis' outburst definitely intimidated him. it's not easy to spook someone like mitch, who holds high power and superiority, but louis did it in a matter of seconds. he has one hell of a mouth on him.

mitch isn't absolutely forgiven. louis lost a bit of respect for the man because of how he acted. out of respect for his boyfriend, though, he opts to remain civil. plus, mitch is technically one of his bosses at inferno. he can't lose his job even if he is a stripper. it's good money. it pays for his school, his car and his bills.

when the words "i'm sorry" fell out of mitch's mouth faster than lightning, even harry was appalled.

louis: 1, mitch: 0.

harry had to go to baltimore two days on a trade with mitch so louis had free roam of harry's house. plus harry may or may not have asked him to watch emma because emma likes him better than she likes her owner.

louis insisted he would just stay at his apartment and go to work, doing his usual routine and hold the cat hostage there but harry said he could use the spare key to get in and use the audi while he was gone. he didn't fail to give louis a proper snog and hide money in louis' car for him to find and use before he departed.

"you're so lovesick, it makes me want to puke," zayn groans as he laid his head on louis' lap. louis was covered in harry's hoodie and a blanket draped over his legs while he watched the television in the living room.

"i miss my boyfriend," louis pouts in response, looking down at him. "you have your hoes and i'm lonely."

"my hoes?" zayn raises an eyebrow. "liam and niall are not my hoes."

"no? then what are they?" louis presses. "'cause you're fucking both of them."

zayn lets out a dreamy sigh. "my honies. they're my babies."

the smaller man shook his head with an amused grin and he continued to play with zayn's hair while he watched the last season of adventure time. it had become a habit to just have cartoons on at all time in the apartment because if one boy wasn't stoned, the other one was, and that was their way of entertaining themselves while high alone.

"how long is your prince charming gone for?" zayn asks, rolling onto his back so he can look up at his friend.

louis pouts at the reminder. "til tuesday."

zayn cooed and reached up to pat louis' cheek. "you'll live, lovey. he'll be back in no time."

"i know, it's just-" louis throws his head back and groans. "we're always together. like, lately i'm at his house, or he's here when i'm not there, or we're hanging out somewhere. i'm too used to him being around at all times."

"mhm," zayn nods. "but it's good to have a break every once in a while though, babe, gives you time to just relax and be by yourself for a while."

louis sighs and glares at the tv.
