Ethan.
Ethan with blue eyes and light brown hair.
Ethan who was clinging to Harry like his life depended on it, giggling and smiling as he made himself familiar with the family.
Louis felt the sting in his eyes and the painful thud in his chest as he observed them. Harry had avoided even looking at him, since that's the only thing he's been doing the past three months.
He cleared his throat and decided to demand some attention so he made his way to the crowd where Ethan was talking about something while Harry's hand stayed on his waist. Smiling at him."Sorry to interrupt but I thought I shall introduce myself." Louis chirped earning fond smiles from The crowd, this was an only family night in celebration of Annie and Denver's fiftieth anniversary, it was probably why Harry even came as he didn't attend the past few meet ups with the Tomlinson-Styles family.
"Hello I'm Louis." He said putting on his million dollar smile even though his heart was shattered in a million pieces when he saw how Harry's hand around Ethan's waist tightened.
"Hi! You must be the best friend's little brother, I'm Ethan, I've heard some good things about you." And okay that hurts. Because wasn't Louis something more than that? Was he still Adam's little brother in Harry's eyes?
"Oh. I-I actually am shocked seeing this one doesn't talk about me in general with anyone." Louis says looking at Harry who's staring at him with a weird expression, when their eyes meet Louis feels his resolve cracking, the familiar feeling of vulnerability clogging his throat and the feeling of desperation burning his chest. It should be him in his arms as he flaunts around.
"Yeah he doesn't. Quite one, aren't you, H?" Ethan smiles softly and Harry returns the smile, "Do you want something to drink, baby?" Louis' heart drops at the pet name, he stares at Harry and finds green eyes looking back,
"Yeah actually I'd like something soft." Ethan returns raising his head to kiss Harry's jaw softly,
Having enough tolerance for that, Louis excused himself and decided to sit and wallow in his pain at some corner.
Harry's had girlfriends and boyfriends before, he's watched them be kissed in front of him, painfully watched Harry take people out on dates while he sat in his window looking out, but this time it hurts more than it should've.It hurts because Louis thought he was going to get that, going to have something he's always dreamt about, but apparently not. Because while Louis was just another notch in Harry's bed and while he had spent this past three months in agony and longing Harry was off with someone else having the time of his life.
"Hey kiddo." Adam greets sitting next to Louis who hums but doesn't looks up from his drink, "Are you sad, Lou?" His brother asks and Louis stares up at him before smiling widely, "Why would I be sad?" There's a smile on his brother's face, "You are all lonely and sad here sitting aloof from the crowd. I don't like it. Do you wanna talk?"
Louis wanted to laugh because yeah he did wanted to talk but not with Adam, Adam's the last person he'd ever speak about regarding Harry.
"I'm good, Ad. Just a lot of study stuff and stress." He says and Adam purses his lips, "How do you find Ethan?" He suddenly asks and Louis tenses but laughs it off, "What about him? He seems nice, outgoing and yeah Harry's type." Adam hums,
"Yeah but Harry doesn't look happy." Louis scoffs finishing his champagne, "He seems fine to me. Look at that laugh, he is happy, Ad." It feels like a stab in his chest when he stares at the couple,
