LOUIS' P.O.V

Me and Harry make our way outside and into the corridor so we are away from all the noise.

"This is the part where I am supposed to be confident and honest. The reason I left that morning was because-I don't know how to say this. Erm,yeah. I guess I'm just going to say it as it is so here it goes-I like you", Harry spills unaware of how cute he looks awkwardly fiddling with the hem of his jumper.

But he doesn't finish there, he continues to explain how liking me wasn't an excuse to bail on me when I needed him most. He apologised and even though I keep saying its fine, he won't stop saying sorry.

"Harry,seriously I accept your apology. Please stop saying sorry, your kind of living up to the British stereotype that you hate the most", I clarify making sure he knows his apology is needed no more.

"...Harry? I've been needing to tell you something too. Something that will either make you regret telling me you like me or make you glad you told me-", I continue but he interrupts me.

"-You don't like me do you? Oh god. I'm such an idiot"

"I do. I like you a lot and have done ever since I accepted my sexuality back in 2010 but not only that, I miss you. I miss us,our friendship", I reply hoping he doesn't regret anything he has told me in these past 10 minutes.

"What does this mean?", Harry spoke softly as he looked into my eyes.

I felt as though he was reading me or trying to get inside my brain to hear the thoughts in hearing. I really want to try dating him but I don't want to come across needy so I told him the first thing that came to mind.

"We are whatever you would like us to be"

He smiled and we made our way back into the party which seems to have got louder and more energetic. I leave Harry to do his own thing and I go over to Lottie and Fizzy. I dance with them both for a while before people started going off to do their own thing.

It didn't take long for the room to clear out. Everyone had gone except Harry,Liam and Niall.

LIAM' P.O.V

"Let's do something fun!", I speak over everyone who is making small talk with the person near them.

"Yeah,like what?", Niall asks as if I can't think of anything fun to do.

"I think I'm just gonna go to bed. I won't catch my flight tomorrow tea time if I stay awake any longer", Lottie states honestly which Fizzy agrees too.

The girls go to bed and then there's just the boys left.

"I know what we can play. How about dirty dares and truths? Or charades?", I suggest and to my surprise they agreed to play dates and truths.

"One condition, we can't wake the girls and we can't be too dirty,you know?", Louis orders which is understandable as his younger siblings are trying to sleep in the next room.

"Okay, I'm first and I want truth", I say.

"I got one. Have you ever had sexual feelings toward someone of the same sex?", Niall asks and I can tell he has had a lot to drink but I answer it anyway.

"I haven't,Niall you're next", louis speaks up.

LOUIS' P.O.V

The game has been going on for around half an hour and it's my turn soon. None of the dare have been dirty yet so I'm afraid to ask for a dare.

"Truth"

"I have one. Have you ever had sex with a male before?", Harry asks as if he really wants to know.

"Surprisingly, I haven't", I answer with the quote 'honesty is the best policy' ringing through my brain. I wanted so bad to lie and say I have but I couldn't lie to them, especially Harry.

"Dare for me", Harry asks bravely.

Everyone is in deep thought and no one can seem to think of a dare until Harry talks again.

"Maybe I can chose my own dare?", he asks and everyone agrees because we can't think of anything for him to do.

"I dare myself to kiss Lewi"

I was shocked and overwhelmed. I didn't want to decline his offer but I also didn't want to embarrass myself. The truth is I have only ever kissed one boy and that boy was unknown to me. I was drunk and it was terrible, extremely messy and needy.

"I don't know- maybe I should choose for you? How about you kiss Niall or Liam?", the words flow as I tried to stop them from leaving my lips.

"Nah,he can kiss you", Niall speaks up and Harry flashes him a small smirk as if he was thanking him for his input.

"Okay, I will let you kiss me but you can only give me a peck on the lips", I reply because I do want to kiss him,I just don't want to embarrass myself.

Harry agrees to the peck and leans in. His lips are soft and plump. Even though they were only touching my lips for a few seconds,it was nice.

After the kiss with Harry we all decided that one more round of this game then everyone has to go back to your own rooms.

"Truth", I say after Liam asks me which I would like.

Everyone else has had their last turn so I'm the last to go.

"Did you enjoy the kiss?", Harry speaks up without giving anyone else a chance to comprehend my answer.

"I guess I did enjoy it", I reply.

HARRY'S P.O.V

His answer wasn't enthusiastic or sarcastic like they usually are. It was as if he meant it and that he was being honest with me.

"Okay boys,time to go. See you all tomorrow", Louis talks softly.

We all get up and walk towards the door to the corridor but as Liam and Niall go ahead and disappear into their rooms,I turn to Louis.

"Did you enjoy the kiss or were you just saying it to be nice?", I ask him.

"I honestly did enjoy the kiss. If I didn't I would have said so", he replies with a small smile on his face.

"Maybe sometime soon we will be able to kiss again", I say before hugging him and making my way to my room.
