"Louis! I wanted to ask you something...", Anna says when she sees Louis coming closer. "Yeah, what's up?" "Well, me and Andrew are going away for the weekend so I wanted to ask if you could or would like to come aswell! He's bringing a friend of his so I thought I'd ask you, too!", she explains. "Sure, where are we going?" "To his parents cottage in the woods!" "How cool! I'm definitely in! When are we leaving?", Louis asks excitedly litterally ready to run home, pack his bags and leave right this instant. "Friday at five! We'll come collect you!" "Sounds like a plan!"
Later that day when Louis gets home he packs his backpack with the nesasery stuff and lays it to the side of his bed. He is so excited that he barely pays attention to anything that happens on Thursday and Friday before Anna and Andrew pick him up. Anna rings his doorbell and opens the car door for him. "Louis, this is Harry! Harry, Louis!", Anna introduces the two of them to eachother when they get in the car. "Nice to meet you!", Louis greets. "Same here!", Harry replys.
For the rest of the journey Harry and Louis barely say anything at all and Anna and Andrew litterally talk the entire time. They arrive at the cottage and bring their bags into the livingroom. "So, there's three bedrooms. Follow me and you can choose which one you want.", Andrew explains and goes up the stairs. The other three follow him and when they get to the first room Anna immediately falls in love with it.
"I want this room! We'll take this room, Andrew!", she says walking in and looking at the pictures of different cities hung up on the walls. "Did your parents take these pictures?", she asks still astonished by all the beautiful and nearly even magical pictures. "Yeah, they did! They took them when they travelled around Europe about two years before I was born!", Andrew explains putting his and Anna's bag on the king-sized bed. "Is it alright with the two of you if we take this room?", Anna asks to which Louis replys "Yeah, sure!" "Of course!", Harry agrees with Louis. "Great! Let's look at the other two rooms for you guys!", Anna says skipping out into the hallway.
They walk to the next two room down the hall which both look identical. The rooms are a little smaller than the other one and have pictures of animals. Harry and Louis each put their bags into their room and then the four of them head downstairs. "Anyone want to eat anything? I brought some pizza's we can stick in the oven if you want?", Andrew asks. "Oh, yes! That sounds great, man!", Harry replys and the other two agree.
Andrew puts the pizza in the oven and when he comes back into the livingroom he finds all three of them sitting on the couch. "How about we watch a christmas movie?", Louis asks and Harry immediately jumps up. "Let's watch Love Actually! It's my favourite christmas movie!", he suggests. "Sounds good!", Louis says and the others agree. They make themselves comfortable, well as comfortable as they can get on a couch that litterally falls to the ground when you sit on it.
When the pizza is done Andrew gets them and sits down on the couch again and Anna sits infront of him. "The two of you are so cute!", Harry states. "You're so couple goals!", Louis adds and Anna blushes. Andrew hugs her from behind and replys "Well, I have the best girlfriend in the world!"
After the movie ends they go upstairs and head to bed. Just as Louis walks into his room and takes a good look around it he notices one of the legs of the bed are broken in half. "Great! I guess I'll be sleeping on the couch then!", he tells himself and goes downstairs again after he puts on his pyjamas. Once he lies down on the couch Harry comes down for a glass of water.
"What are you doing down here?", he asks. "The bed in my room is broken!", Louis replys laughing. "How? What did you do?", Harry wants to know starting to laugh aswell. "Nothing! I swear! I went into the room and poof! Broken leg!", he explains "But I guess this will do!" "No, it won't! I know how uncomfortable that couch is!" "Really, it's fine!", Louis reassures him but Harry suggests "Why don't you come to my room? The bed is big enough for the two of us! It can be our secret if you like! Nobody has to find out!"
After Harry persuades Louis to come into his bed with him they walk upstairs. They get into bed and couldn't be further apart. When they fall asleep Louis doesn't notice that he rolls closer to Harry and puts his arm around him. Harry turns around so the two of them are facing eachother and puts his arm around Louis, too. Both of them stay that way until the morning without realising.
Harry wakes up first and notices so he takes his arm away and gets out of bed. By pulling away his arm so hecticly he wakes Louis who doesn't know what happened. "Uhm, I'm so sorry!", Harry mumbles and Louis looks at him in confusion. "Huh? What's up? What are you sorry about?" "I kinda... uhm... I put my arm around you in my sleep and didn't notice till now... so uhm... sorry!", he explains. "Oh, no worries! That could have happened to me, too! I move around so much in my sleep!" "Oh, ok! Well, thanks!", Harry replys and lets out a breath he didn't know he was holding in. "For what?" "For not being mad at me!" "No problem, I guess!", Louis laughs.
The two of them go downstairs to find Anna and Andrew sitting infront of the fireplace with a book in their hands. "Good morning, sleepyheads!", Anna greets them and Andrew adds "Did you sleep good?" Louis and Harry look at eachother and start laughing. "Yes! I would even say I had the best sleep in a long time!", Louis replys and Harry looks at him in disbelief. "Really?", he asks. "Yes! Really!" "I did, too!"
Anna and Andrew look at eachother in confusion and have no clue what's going on. The next two nights Louis sleeps in Harry's room again and Anna and Andrew never notice anything. Every morning they wake up in eachothers arms. Eventhough Harry and Louis didn't know eachother before the weekend they ended up becoming friends. Good friends. Very good friends even and maybe even a little more.
Harry and Louis exchange numbers and meet up a good few times after the trip and hang out with Anna and Andrew a lot. One day, totally out of the blue, Harry says "You know what, I like you! You're really cool!" "I like you, too! Uhm... maybe even a little more..." "That's what I was about to say!", Harry laughs and Louis thinks he is kidding. "I'm serious!" "I am, too!" To prove it he kisses Louis.
