"Should I buy some flowers?" Louis said to the man at the other end of the line as he balanced his phone between his ear and his shoulder.
"Mate" his friend chuckled, "You're not asking him to marry you. Stop being so nervous. You used to be the most confident mother fucker in the whole UK" he chuckled.
"Zayn, fuck off, mate. I'm asking you for advice" Louis said as he looked around him in the flower shop. "Is roses too much?"
Zayn sighed, "Yes, why don't you buy him something more um... Simple? Isn't he into that hipster shit or something?"
Louis laughed quietly, "Leave my boy alone, Malik" he said threatening with a smile still on his face.
"Hey, he isn't yours yet! You know what, buy him some yellow daisies and get done with it" he huffed.
"Yellow? isn't that too- Wait, I see them. Forget it, they're perfect. You're the best" Louis said as he walked closer to the bunch of flowers with the pretty sign that read 'Daisies'. The yellow ones were absolutely perfect, so pretty and full of light, just like Harry himself.
"I'll buy some of those,please" he said to the aproned bald man that was watering some other flowers.
The man smiled and pushed his glasses a bit further over his nose, "How big would you like your bouquet?"
Louis thought for a moment and then used his hands to show the man, "Like.. this big?" he said smiling.
The man nodded and prepared thee flowers for Louis. He wandered around for a bit before the man called him and gave him the bouquet in exchange for the money.
Louis thanked him and walked out of the shop.
"I till don't get why are you so nervous" he said with a smirk before taking nother sip from his beer.
"Zayn, bro, this is a big thing for me, alright? I haven't had a boyfriend in forever and I don't think Mark counts as a real boyrfriend. So... I'm hoping he says yes because he's just... He's literally all I've ever wanted"
Zayn snorted, "Lou, just... Just ask him out and bring him to me, I need to meet that guy. Sounds like an angel"
"He is!" Louis exclaimed, "That's what makes me so nervous. I'm so unworthy of him" he said dramatically.
"Calm the fuck down, and go to his apartment, then you tell him 'Yo, be my boyfriend' and then when he says yes with tears in his eyes you take him to his room and fuck him. There, happy Louis, happy shoes boy and happy Zayn that can actually sleep"
"It's not that early, stop complaining" Louis said frowning at the cars that passed in front of him.
"I can hear your pout, Louis" he snickered, Louis realized he was actually pouting and his pout deepened, "Just go and talk to him, you're very charming and I'm sure he'll say yes"
Louis sighed as he crossed the road, "I guess. Bye, then"
"Say hi to lover boy after you shag him" he said cheerfully.
"Shut up" Louis chuckled and then hung up.
Maybe Zayn was right, maybe Harry was going to say yes and he didn't have anything to worry about. He liked to think that, it made him feel less like he was about to puke. For the rest of his way to Harry's apartment he thought as positive as he could, they had already been seeing each other for a couple of... Months? Yeah, they were actually months! Louis smiled to himself, the time with Harry really flew by.
His fist tightened around the plastic wrap of the bouquet as soon as Harry's building came into sight.
"Calm the fuck down" he muttered to himself before pressing the grey button besides the number of the curly man's apartment. After a couple of minutes there was a buzz coming from the speaker and then
"Hello?" Harry's scratchy and unusually deep voice greeted him.
"Morning,sunshine" Louis said brightly.
"Hey" Harry said and then another buzz was there before the door opened. Harry wasn't there anymore.
Louis shrugged it off and walked inside the building closing the door carelessly. He jogged up the stairs as he tried to calm his breathing down. Halfway there he wondered why the hell he didn't use the lift.
Once he stood in front of Harry's doorstep he told himself to calm the fuck down and finally knocked the door.
"Coming!" Harry shouter from the other side before his rushed steps were heard and he opened the door swiftly. "Hi" he said breathlessly and that was enough to take Louis' own breath away.
He was wearing a white t-shirt and briefs with his messy hair on top of his head, eyes sleepy and a half dented dimple on his soft looking cheek.
"Hey, love" he said with a lopsided smile before leaning in and kissing his plump and pink lips.
Harry pulled back from the kiss with a grin plastered on his face. He closed the door behind Louis and once he turned around he realised that he was still half sleep, Louis was holding a big bouquet of flowers in his dainty hands.
"You brought me flowers!" He said with a ridiculously high pitched voice
thanks to the emotion.
"I did!" Louis said grinning with his eyes crinkling at the corners, he handed Harry the flowers and the younger one smelled them briefly with his eyes closed and his eyelashes fanning over his cheekbones. He looked stunning.
"Thanks" Harry said with a small voice as a pretty colour tinted his cheeks.
"I'm glad you liked them" Louis said making a mental note to thank Zayn later.
Harry helf his hand as he walked into the kitchen and put the flowers in a vase with water before turning around and tackling the dancer in a tight hug.
"Whoa!" Louis chuckled and hugged him as hard, he kissed his shoulder and then his cheek.
Harry let go with a happy sigh, "Want some coffee or tea?" he said with his hands still resting on the other's shoulders.
Louis bit down his lip, "I... I wanted to ask you something first"
Harry hummed and stared at him expectantly with his big green eyes.
"I was wondering if you'd like to be my boyfriend, maybe?" He said and Harry's face turned confused.
"I thought that we were already...?"He said with his head slightly cocked to the side like a puppy.
"Uh? Oh! Amazing then!" Louis said as the weight was lifted from his chest. Harry giggled and Louis just pulled him in for a passionate kiss.
Somehow Harry managed to keep giggling as he caressed Louis' tongue with his own and the shorter man squeezed his sides making him squirm a bit.
"Not that I don't like kitchen kissed but I kind of prefer a softer surface to lean on he said before looking at the counter that was digging between his ribs for a second.
Harry laughed and then pulled him out of the kitchen by his shirt. He sat him down on the couch and then straddled his thick thighs.
"Harold are you trying to seduce me?" he said teasingly.
"Yup" he said and then kissed down his neck wetly as he fisted the fabric of Louis' shirt. "Is it working?"
Louis laughed and tried to reach his cheek with his lips, "It always works, you curly and stupidly attractive man" Then he snaked his hands under Harry's shirt and made his way around his chest back and tummy with gentle touches.
Harry pulled back and nudged their noses together, "Just for the record, I think you're stupidly attractive too".
Louis smirked before tangling his right fingers in Harry's curls and joining their lips once again.
