"Let's see..do I fall in love? Yes. Yes I do."

"What's she like? Tell me about her!" Present said, eagerly.

"Well, he's just...he's amazing." Future shook his head with a smile.

Present backtracks.

"H...he?" He asked, quietly.

"Yeah. Yeah, it surprised me too. God, I can't wait for you to meet him."

"I fall in love with a man?"

"Are you disappointed?"

"Depends on the person. A bit I suppose. I didn't think I was...that kind of person." Present muttered.

Future shook his head.

"You need to trust me. Ok? You change in the next 10 years. Start painting your nails. You wear dresses. You do all of these things for a good cause and you feel comfortable and confident doing so. You love it. It makes you happy. And this boy, this man, is the one to thank." Future told present.

It's silent for a minute.

"I want to meet him. Did you bring him?" Present asked, quietly.

"You want to meet him? I can get him, he begged to come too."

"I think I do."

"I'll be right back."

Louis' POV:

I saw my Haz come out the centre and he had a huge smile on his face.

"Finished so early love?"

"No..he wants to meet you." Harry said.

"This is weird, do I say you want to meet me or he does? How does this work?" I asked.

"Not a clue darling. We'll figure it out. Do you want to see me, 16 again?" Harry asked me.

"Of course, how could I pass up such an opportunity?" I smiled.

"Come on then love. It is weird, isn't it?"

He put his hand in mine and they interlocked as we walked to the centre.

"Yeah. D'you reckon he'll like me?"

"Lou, this is me. Obviously."

"Oh, don't bring obviously back up, I'll throw up." I rolled my eyes.

Harry chuckled.

"Hey, at least I don't turn into a bloody horse."

"Uncalled for."

We got to the door and I swallowed nervously.

"Come on. It's only me. Just younger me." Harry reassured me.

A younger Harry. It would be nice to see him again. His curls and how he was shorter than me...that had changed quickly.

"Ok, come on then."

Harry opened the door and lead me into another room. There was another door there.

"In here." Harry opened the door for me and let me in.

"Thanks love." I smiled, not sitting down, knowing Harry would sit there. I sat on the floor instead.

"Hiya lad." I told the younger Harry. Just seeing him again almost made me cry. I didn't think I'd ever see him again, it was like I'd -

Nevermind.

"Hello." He said quietly. I frowned.

"He OK?" I asked my Harry.

"He's a bit shocked." He whispered.

"Right." I whispered back.
