Then You Came Along (L.S)

chapter 12 🌻

The meal had been a total success, they where both comfortably full and a little drunk and giddy by the end of it.

Want to dance, Louis said with a small pout. Let's dance then Harry replied grabbing his hand to lead him to the waiting taxi.

They asked the driver to take them into town, they were no way ready to go home just yet.

"Two vodka and cokes," Harry shouted out to the barman over the music. Louis was already dancing behind him. "Here let's move away from the bar so you can dance" Harry gesturing over to a space by the DJ.

Louis was loving life, swaying around to the music in his own little world. Harry admired the confidence, the carefree spirit Louis would generate around him. He admired everything if he was to be perfectly honest, but he would never say it out load.

"Oh I love this song," Louis shouted as some song Harry had never heard of started to play. "You're getting quite a bit of attention Louis" Harry laughed noticing a couple of guys eyeing Louis. "Dance with me Harold, let's put on a show for them." Harry walked Louis further into the dance floor. They both danced like nobody was watching, it was like Luke's birthday all over again.

Remembering the eyes that had been on Louis, Harry pulled the boy towards him dancing against his body. They slowly started to grind onto each other laughing at the disappointed looks they received from the onlooker's.

"They hate me!" Harry laughed, "I won't mind if you talk to someone you know, don't feel like you can't because of me." "Harold!" Louis looked up in confusion. "Why the hell would I want to do that when I have you here with me." Harry pulled Louis in towards himself with a small blush. "Let's dance then."

They both stumbled from the taxi, giggling as Harry tried to pull his keys from his trousers, dropping them at least twice before reaching the door.

"I need water" Harry pulled two bottles of water from the fridge handing one to the now sleepy boy leant on the worktop infront of him. "Come on sleepyhead let's get you to bed."  "Carry me please Hazza, my legs don't want to walk."
Harry picked him up bridal style and made his way to the guestroom.
"You're so needy when your drunk Lou. It's kinda cute though"

Once in the room he placed him on the bed. "You can brush your teeth in the morning." "Help me with my belt please" Louis was struggling with the buckle getting annoyed at himself. "Come here" Harry giggled, leaning over to help the very drunk Lou undress.

Placing the water bottle at the side of his bed and turning the light off he looked over, he was now sleeping and looked so peaceful. "Sweet dreams Lou."

***

Harry woke to the sound of rain against the window. He loved the sound of rain, he lived in the North West of England so he was very used to it. It brought a sense of comfort.

After a while he decided to get up and make breakfast. Throwing an old pair of joggers on and a sweatshirt he made his way down to the kitchen.
He was surprised to be greeted by a sleepy Lou, "hey good morning, how did you sleep." "Great" Lou replied. "I could really do with some paracetamol if you have any."
Harry brought some from the cupboard in the downstairs bathroom and handed them over with a bottle of water.

"You ready for round two?" Harry joked. "Absolutely not" he sighed with his head in his arms. "Can we have a movie day please?"

Harry was more than happy to accommodate the request of doing nothing but lie on the sofa and watch movies.

"What would you like to watch first? I have a bunch of DVDs that are now in storage but you can choose anything from Netflix". He sat on the opposite end of the sofa dragging the thick blanket from the back of the sofa and placing it over them whilst Louis scrolled through the options.

The rain hadn't yet stopped and the sky was grey. This was the perfect duvet day and to be quite honest he couldn't imagine spending it with anyone else.

After their second film of the day they decided on watching re-runs of friends. It was also one of Louis go to's.

It was now late afternoon and they'd not moved from the sofa all day, both snoozing on and off under the thick soft blanket.

Niall - Hey bud, just back home from shopping, is 6 ok?

Harry - 6 is fine, we've had a lazy one today nursing our heads. Still bring beer, hair of the dog might help.

Harry had almost forgot about the plans made with Niall.
"Hey sleepy" he said quietly grabbing Louis feet under the blanket. He looked so peaceful he hated having to wake him. "Lou!" He said a little louder still pulling at his feet that where lay across his thighs. "Time to wake up sleepyhead." With that Louis rolled facing the back of the sofa.
"Leave me alone Harold I'm sleeping." "Nope definitely not," he replied giggling as he started to grab Louis feet again.

"Mmm I wonder if he's ticklish?" saying this out loads so he could be heard. "I think I might start at the feet." With that Louis jumped up. "Don't you dare" he squealed. Harry had managed to hold on to one of his ankles. "What.. you mean don't do this?"
"Stop!! Please stop!!x Laughing and almost screaming out for Harry to stop.

"Well it worked Harry" laughed whilst throwing the blanket back behind the sofa.

"Niall will be here at 6pm if you wanna grab a shower, we will order food once he gets here if that's okay?"

"Perfect, I'll go shower."

Harry also needed to shower and change, he went to his own room that also had an ensuite. Standing under the warm shower his head hung, feeling the warmth run over him. I could definitely get used to this.
