Harry, Louis and the other three boys they live with at university, Niall, Liam and Zayn are all heading off for their Christmas holidays with their families. That's when Louis gets the call that he can't come home, his mum and four step-sisters are...
"That was fun." I said as Harry and I walked back home, tired out from playing football and messing about with all the lads all day.
"Yeah." Harry agreed.
As we walked I thought about how cute he was today, he wasn't the best footballer because he wasn't all that coordinated but he was absolutely adorable. When he fell over Ed, sitting on the picnic blanket I laughed and helped him up. I didn't want to let go of his hands once I pulled him to his feet but he let go and made sure Ed was okay and the moment passed.
We crossed the street, nearing Harry's house and the back of his hand brushed my arm as our arms swung between us. I'm not entirely sure why I did it, or why I suddenly felt brave enough but I hooked my finger over one of his and pulled his hand into mine.
Harry glanced at me, grinning slightly. I smiled back and gave his hand a small squeeze. We kept our hands conjoined until we got back home and we started to take off our jackets. Harry went upstairs to pee and I went into the living room where Robin was watching a football game.
"Did you have fun?" he asked.
"Yeah, it was good." I replied, sinking into the armchair in the corner and fixing my attention to the game.

During dinner Anne suggested playing board games and listening to Christmas music for the evening. Harry seemed to really want to and I enjoyed watching him when he got excited. Once everything from dinner had been cleared up Gemma hooked up a speaker to her phone and Harry and Robin came downstairs with all the good board games they could find.
Harry had also changed into a blue sweater and a blue beanie and damn he looked good.

Anne handed out a glass of wine for everyone and we set up the first game, Cluedo.
"It was mustard, in the garage, with the candlestick." Harry announced, slamming his little plastic piece on the room in the middle. He picked up the pile of cards and flipped them over, showing us mustard, the candlestick and the garage proudly.
"You wanker Louis, if I hadn't have been pulled back to the kitchen by you I would have beaten Harry." Gemma said, sticking her tongue out at me.
I stuck my tongue out back and we laughed as we moved onto the next game, Scrabble.
The next two and a half hours passed pretty quickly, Harry won Scrabble as well and then after two hours of Monopoly Robin finally won, bankrupting Gemma to claim the number one spot.
Although I didn't do very well in the games I had heaps of fun, especially when I got to tell Harry he was a cheating arsehole when he robbed the bank and stole 1000 pounds. I've learnt one thing today, board game Harry is scary Harry. It was hard to be scared of him though when he hugged his mum and offered to clean up the mess while we went up to bed.
Gemma said goodnight and went upstairs, followed by Anne and Robin. I helped Harry pile up the scattered notes of Monopoly money and put them back in the box, stacking the few boxes of games up and pushing them into the corner.
"Thanks Louis." Harry said.
"No problem." I replied, grinning.
The room was pretty dark, only one lamp left one along with the Christmas tree lights and the rest of the lights in the house had been turned out.
I'm not sure if I imagined the way Harry's eyes flickered between mine and my lips. I definitely didn't imagine when he licked his lips slightly and leaned in though.
I closed the gap, pushing his lips hungrily against mine. He tasted so good and he moaned slightly against my mouth, both of us sitting on the carpet of the living room as he bit down on my bottom lip and pushed his tongue into my mouth.
"Forgot my bloody phone." came Gemma's voice and she walked into the room half a nano second after Harry and I had jumped apart.
"Night then." she said, picking up her phone from the couch and then going back upstairs.
"Shit Louis I'm really sorry about that. I know you have a girlfriend." Harry said.
"Um, I'm sorry too. We should just forget it yeah?" I said.
Harry nodded but he looked upset. I hated that I made him upset.
"Goodnight then." I added and I got up and went straight to my room, punching my mattress angrily because I kissed him again and I couldn't do that until I'd spoken to Eleanor and I was scared to speak to Eleanor. I was scared of breaking her heart because she'd always been there and she'd done so much for me.
