My Bully's Brother

27

Two weeks later

"Road trip!" Niall yells with a beep of his car horn when picking Harry up from his house Saturday afternoon.

It's been two long weeks and Harry couldn't be happier which contrasts a lot from when he was crumpled on the ground only sixteen days ago. Sure, Brad still uncomfortably flirts with him at school and forces him to come over to do Will's homework but the bright side is that Louis always becomes extra possessive afterwards and makes a massive fuss of Harry, giving the boy everything he wants which mostly consists of the older boy's affection.

On the other hand, Will has stopped the frequent violent attacks and sometimes Harry wonders what Louis must have said to get him to stop but at the same time it doesn't stop Will from shouting disgusting slurs at him everyday—either way he's grateful that he's not aching from bruises anymore.

"I'm coming!" Harry shouts back at Niall after kissing his mum goodbye on the doorstep and skipping towards Niall's car excitedly.

"Took you long enough." Niall huffs once Harry is seated inside the car and he watches as the boy throws a massive overnight bag into the backseat.

"Don't be mean Ni-Ni!" Harry scowls. "I could of asked Lou to drive me but I wanted to drive with you."

"Only because you want to talk about Louis with me!" Niall whines back before waving goodbye to Harry's mum who is still standing on the doorstep with an anxious look on her face.

Over the countless sleepovers the pair have been having recently, Niall has practically became a second son to Anne but Harry doesn't seem to mind as he loves having Niall over. Of course, Liam had come over too but Niall and the boy just seem to have a special bond and whether that's because they became friends first or because they are two complete idiots when interacting, Harry will never know.

"Yeah well something in particular has been on my mind!" Harry sticks out his bottom lip and crosses his arms in a slight strop.

"What? Apart from Louis? That's unusual." Niall snickers and dodges out the way as Harry tries to swipe at him.

"Well it's about Louis." Harry hums and Niall just rolls his eyes because he had already figured that out.

Speaking of Louis, the pair have been going on countless dates the past two weeks and they have all been absolutely magical. Harry can't quite describe the feeling as he's never felt like this before but whenever Louis is around he gets constant butterflies in his stomach while his mind is on top of the clouds. It feels like Harry is the earth, completely destined and made to revolve around the sun that is Louis Tomlinson.

Even Harry's mum completely adores Louis and his charm. He's been coming over maybe even more than Niall and even if the older boy won't admit it, he's definitely been doing extra favours so he can stay in Anne's good books. For example, one of Harry's mum's favourite things is when she's comes home from an early shift and Louis is there to greet her with a cup of tea. Of course, she's one of the only adults that know of Louis' true sexuality because he thought that his future boyfriend's mother had a right to know but Harry made her swear not to tell a soul which, after a skeptical glance, she agreed to.

But, of course, Louis kept the future boyfriend part to himself.

However, Harry can't help but feel like all these dates are now leading up to something big as they've known each other for over a month now but the progression in labelling what they have has come to a stand still.
