"Are you alright, H?" Niall asks when Harry comes back in the room, looking down.

"Have you talked to Louis recently?" he asks, throwing his backpack aside.

"Yeah, why? Got tea with him this morning."

"I feel like he's ignoring me and it's really shit. I feel so stupid..."

"Why would he ignore you? What's up? That doesn't sound like Lou. He talked about you this morning, asking how you were doing and stuff so I'm confused. Now you mention it though, he has been a bit off the last week."

"That's how long he is not speaking to me anymore." Harry mumbles dropping himself on his bed. "He literally just runs away when he sees me and when I knock on his door he always has an excuse to not let me in."

"When is the last time you spoke to him?" Niall falls next to Harry on his bed.

"We're not talking about the fire anymore." Harry interrupts. "Now, I want to know who was your big gay awakening." Harry teases, lightening the mood between them.

"Well, it was this guy I saw on television. He was coming out. I guess he's the son of the president of the United States..."

"I was your gay awakening? You had a crush on me?" Harry doesn't sound teasing or anything, just shocked. He can't say he doesn't have a thing for Louis and hearing that Louis, even if it was in the past, had a tiny crush on him, makes his day, or life, whatever.

"I uh, no it was a joke." He starts to laugh nervously. "We're friends, H. Look I really have to go, assignments and stuff."

"Louis!" Harry pouts. "Don't be like this. I'm okay with it, no need to be embarrassed or anything."

"It's a joke, Harry and I'm actually at uni to study okay so I have to go." He takes his jeans jacket from the chair and leaves the room, leaving Harry with an empty feeling.

"So he basically says that you are his first crush and then leaves?" Niall asks after Harry told him what happened.

"Well, it's not a crush but ... we didn't speak after. He doesn't answer my texts, avoids me, it's shit Niall. I shouldn't be so bothered by someone that I barely know but still... I thought that we were close you know?"

"You thought right. Dude ran back into a fire to save you. I think he likes you." Niall says. "And believe me, because I know you are going to object, but I know those kind of things okay?"

"What are you? The love doctor?" Harry rolls his eyes fondly but has to hide a small smile. He loves the Irish lad. He is amazing. Having him as a friend should be enough. He shouldn't be almost crying because of Louis.

"As the love doctor I tell you that you should hang out with Nick Grimshaw. If he sees that you are hanging with him, he'll be back within a second."

"That's nonsense, Niall." Harry shakes his head. "He hasn't been talking to me for a week now, almost ten days. What has talking to Nick has to do with that?"

"He hates him." Niall states.

"Why?"

"Because he is jealous."

"Niall stop." Harry shakes his head. "You are making this up.

"I am not, Harry."

"Can I finish your donut, Tommo?" Niall asks his British friend.

"You're a pig." Louis snorts, giving Niall the donut anyway.

"I'm just hungry. This is breakfast, most important meal of the day."
