It was the first day of school, and Louis was at his usual lunch table, with his friends Liam, Niall, and Zayn. He was looking around the lunch room and saw a boy with curly hair looking down at the lunch table, he was sitting alone. Louis assumed the boy was new since he had never seen him around before.

"I'll be back in a few, lads," Louis murmured before getting up and walking to the table where the boy was. He sat down across from the boy, "Hi, I'm Louis. What's your name?" the boy grabbed a notepad and wrote something on it before pushing it over to Louis.

Harry

Harry looked up and his eyes changed from hazel to grey, "Woah, your eyes can change colors, that's so cool," Harry blushed faintly and nodded. "It's nice to meet you, Harry, but can you talk?" Harry shrugged and took the notepad back and wrote something again.

I can, but I've been mute since I was 14

Louis nods with a smile, "Do you want to come and sit with me and my friends?" Harry bit his lip and shook his head as if to say he was fine. Louis pouted a little, "Please, I don't like seeing people sitting by themselves," Harry smiled slightly but shook his head. Louis sighed, "Then I'll sit here," he said, Harry rolled his eyes already seeing how sassy Louis was.

They spent the rest of lunch getting to know each other, before lunch ended, Louis gave Harry his phone number. Louis and Harry both came to find out that they had 5th and 6th periods together, luckily they got to pick their own seats so Louis chose to sit by Harry. At the end of 6th period -with a lot of pleading- Louis got Harry to agree to come over and hang out with him.

They had just arrived at Louis' house, "Hey mum, 'm home" he slightly shouted. Johanna came out of the kitchen with a soft smile on her face, "How was your first day back, and who's this?" Harry's eyes flashed grey again, Louis smiled and put his arm around Harry's shoulder, "My day was good, and this is Harry," Johanna gave Louis a knowing smile, making him blush and roll his eyes.

"We're going to my room," he told her as he pulled Harry past his mother, "Okay, have fun," she chuckled slightly and shook her head as she walked back into the kitchen to finish making dinner before she left for work.

After about 20 minutes, Johanna went up to Louis' room and knocked on the door, "Lou, dinner is ready, I'm leaving for work. Make sure all your sisters eat dinner, and Harry can stay if he'd like," she told him through the door, "Okay mum, thanks" he shouted back from his bed.

He heard his mom walking away and down the stairs, once he heard the door slam shut he started talking, "Harry, wanna stay for dinner?" Harry shook his head no.

I should get going home

Louis pouts but nods anyway, "Oh, okay. See you tomorrow then?" he asked to which Harry nodded. They both got up off the bed, Louis opened his arms and gave Harry a hug, "See you tomorrow" Harry nodded against Louis' shoulder before pulling away from the hug with a faint blush and grey eyes.

"Harry before you go, why do your eyes change colors and what do the colors mean?" he asked, Harry shrugged and wrote something on his notepad.

You'll have to figure that out

Louis sighed, "Can I at least have a hint?" he asked, Harry shook his head no with a smile and waved at Louis before opening Louis' door. He followed Harry down the stairs, "you like to be mysterious, huh?" Harry nodded with a smile and opened the front door, leaving after waving goodbye once again.

Louis went up to his room and grabbed a notepad the same size as Harry and wrote down grey and took a moment to think, when he first talked to him at lunch he seemed shy and when he met his mom he also was shy and maybe a little embarrassed, and both time his eyes turned grey. Maybe grey means shy and embarrassed, so that's what he wrote in his notepad next to where he wrote grey. He planned on asking Harry if he was right tomorrow. He went downstairs calling his sisters down for dinner, after eating they all go to bed because there was school the next day.

Louis practically ran to the lunch room to find Harry, he's been dying to ask Harry if he was correct about his eye color. When he found him sitting at the same table he ran up to it, Harry looked up and his eyes flashed a beautiful green color as he gave him a funny look. When Louis saw his eyes he took his notepad out of his pocket and wrote down green, Louis sat down across from him out of breath.

Once he catches his breath he asked, "Does grey mean shy and embarrassed?" Harry nodded with a bright smile on his face, "Yes! Okay now I got to figure out what green means"
