"Hi xx"

Louis is lifting weights when his phone makes the familiar sound of tri-tone.

Groaning, he sets down the large weight he's been bench pressing before reaching over for it.

He smiles when he sees a cute selfie of Harry, obviously at work. Louis takes a moment to admire the xx Harry signs his text with.

"Hi, how's work?" Louis texts back.

"awful, I'm super bored, really slow today. what're you doing?"

"just working out a little"

"oh really?"

"yup, a body like this doesn't just happen" Louis smirks as he types and hardly hesitates before hitting send.

"I'll bet ;)" Harry texts back and Louis acknowledges the flirtation. "so what exactly are you doing?"

"I just got back from a run, so now I'm lifting weights"

Louis takes off his shirt, and picks up a small weight, making the veins in his arm look incredibly emphasized, and snaps the picture when he flexes his bicep.

He sends it to Harry with the thumbs up and the muscle emoji.

Harry responds with a very sexual emoji. Two very sexual emojis actually.

He uses the tongue emoji and then the three drops of water, and it makes Louis slightly hard in his joggers.

Louis wonders just how Harry hasn't already found out what he does behind closed doors. He's grateful Harry doesn't know.

"when do you have a lunch break?" Louis asks. "or any break for that matter,"

"I have a half hour break at twelve, then a twenty minute break at three" Harry texts before asking why.

"no reason, just wondering. can I call while you're on your lunch break?" Louis asks.

"please do xx" Harry responds hardly a beat later with the red telephone emoji.

"I will kitten" Louis texts back with the cat emoji.

"hmm, the kitten...?" Harry asks questioningly and Louis panics.

"Damn it," Louis curses out loud, regretting sending that text. He didn't know if nicknames were okay with Harry.

"I like," Harry responds a second later and Louis visibly relaxes, taking a drink of his water. "but sadly, I have to go. I'm supposed to be 'working hard'"

"alright sweetheart, I'll call you later"

"okay xx"

Louis shuts off his phone and rakes his hands through his hair, because Harry is just so Harry, it makes his pulse quicken for no legitimate reason.

At 12:08, Harry is sitting in the break room, texting his sister when Ed walks in.

"Hey, uh, a delivery guy just dropped this off?" Ed makes a weird face. "Someone sent you a sandwich and a note?"
