Two different worlds *Larry Stylinson AU*

Chapter 7

"I'm gay." Harry said softly, looking away from me. Okay that did take me by surprise but nothing to chase me away from.
"Well you were always a sort of pansy when we were kids." I said and he snapped his gaze to me with a deep frown.
"I was not!" He protested and I smiled.
"Come of it. You were like addicted to any sort of flower there was! Why do you think your mum always used to shout at us because we destroyed her flowers!" I said and he cracked a smiled.
"That was pretty funny." He said and I chuckled but then slapped his arm.
"Ow! What was that for?" He whined and I smirked.
"That's for thinking that I would leave!" I said and he actually smiled a genuinely happy smile.
"So you aren't disgusted to be around me?" He asked and I rolled my eyes.
"Please. Do I look disgusted? Do I look like I am going to run away?" I asked and he slowly shook his head and I smiled.
"See, nothing to be worried about." I said. We both just sat against the wall for a long time. All the stuff being forgotten on the desk. There was a soft knock on the door and it opened before hearing a gasp.
"Harry! What have you done to Louis!?" Anne shouted, looking from the desk to us sitting on the floor.
"Nothing!" He said with wide eyes.
"I don't believe you!" She said and I stood up.
"Okay lets all calm down here. Anne he hasn't done anything to me. I stopped him from doing what he was doing and we ended up just talking against the wall." I explained and she eyed me carefully.
"Anne, Louis wouldn't of done anything. He is terrified of needles... If he ever needed a injection it would take like 5 doctors to hold him down." My mum said from behind Anne and I sighed. Harry was still sitting against the wall, with his gaze to his hands. Anne was glaring at him harshly and I gave my mum a look to take her away. Thankfully my mum sorted that and we were left alone. Harry stood up quickly and almost sprinted to the desk. His hands were shaking as he picked up the syringe with the needle and went to put the stuff into the syringe but I walked towards him and placed my hand on his arm gently.
"Don't do this..." I whispered softly as his eyes stared at my hand on his arm.
"Please let me go..." He said just as softly.
"Not until you put it down..." I said, gulping at the needle in his hand. My mum wasn't lying, I hated needles so much the last time it took 5 doctors to hold me down. And even then it was a struggle for them.
"I need to do it..." He said turning his gaze to me and I gulped.
"No you don't. Lets just go for a walk Haz... Get you out the house for a while. How about the mall? Or the park and we can get ice-cream... Please..." I practically begged as I saw his hand shaking. I trailed my eyes to the needle and I could feel my heartbeat quicken... I watched as he slowly put it back down onto his desk, never removing his eyes from my face. I looked at him and he was breathing heavily and I smiled, pulling him out the door and down the stairs. I saw both mothers sitting in the living room and their heads snapped up looking at us.
"Uh we are going to go get ice cream and walk around the park for a bit." I said and they nodded slowly. I walked towards my mum and hugged her.
"Clean his desk up... I stopped him but if he sees it, he might do it tonight." I whispered pulling away and she gave me a small nod. I smiled and kissed Anne on the cheek before taking Harry's arm again and dragging him to my car. We both got in and it was silent so I turned the radio on and sang along quietly to Don't by Ed Sheeran.
"Still sing a lot?" I smiled and shook my head.
"Of course! My shower head is very impressed!" I said and Harry chuckled.
I finally stopped by the park and we got out. I saw Harry's eyes wasn't so swollen anymore, now that the swelling from the cut as gone down. I still need to ask what happened but I will wait till later.
"This place has changed since I can remember it." Harry said.
"Haven't been here in a while I am guessing?" I asked and he sighed.
"Not at all..." He said as he made our way to the small ice-cream shop in the corner. I was about to enter but Harry pulled me back.
"What's wrong?" I asked as he looked through the windows.
"Your friends are in there... They hate me and they won't be happy with you being around me." He said and I sighed.
"Ignore them. I am sick of them telling me what I can and can't do anyways." I said, taking his arm and pulling him inside the shop. He kept his head down and tried to like blend in with the surroundings I think and it annoyed me because he was worried about being judged.
"Don't worry Harry..." I whispered as I felt those eyes on me. My friends were staring at me in disbelief. I turned my gaze towards them and glared at them.
"Are we that interesting?" I asked and they looked away, apart from Eleanor who stood up and walked towards me.
"Hi, uh Louis what are you doing with him?" She asked sweetly, sending glare at Harry and I could feel him move away but I put my arm around his shoulder to keep him right there. I wasn't going to them get the best of Harry. They might of been my friends, but I have never known them to be the judging type.
"Can't I hang out with him?" I asked and she scoffed.
"No you can't! He is just weird and its not right!! All your friends are over there. He is not your friend!" She snapped and I chuckled.
"First, he has a name. Its Harry. Second, I can have other friends! At this moment in time, the only friend I have is Harry because he at least doesn't judge me." I said turning away from her and ordering the ice-creams for Harry and I. Of course making sure what Harry wanted first.
"So you are going to be a dick now?" She asked.
"Basically." I said as I paid for the ice-creams and handed Harry's his who gave me a small smile as a thank you.
"You walk out that door Louis and we are over. Not just me but with Niall and Zayn and everyone else there too." She said and I looked between Harry and them and I shook my head.
"Fine." I said walked out the shop but Harry didn't follow. I saw him say something to them all before he slowly walked out.
"What did you say to them?" I asked as we walked to the park.
"Nothing." He said and I glared at him playfully.
"What?" He asked and I gave him the "you know what I am talking about" look and he sighed.
"I told them that if they really cared about you, they wouldn't want to lose you." He said and I smiled.
"You know you didn't have to do that. I am used to being by myself." He said as we walked through the park.
"So? Now you won't be by yourself." I said as I threw my now empty ice-cream cup into the bin. He did the same with his and I smiled. We walked causally through the park until I stopped when a soccer ball hit me right on the head. I turned to see a few kids running towards me.
"We are so sorry sir!" The one boy said as I picked up the ball.
"Is this yours?" I asked and they all nodded. I smiled and threw ball to one of them.
"Can we play?" I asked gesturing to Harry and I and they all nodded. They never gave Harry a second glace and I smiled at him before dragging him with me.
We played for hours, with the kids tackling Harry to the ground a few times and I think I haven't heard him laugh that much since I have seen him. I watched as he ran dodging the kids and kicked it into a goal. I smiled, wondering how he would do against a team of players his own age because he was pretty good. I then smiled when he went to one of the kids aid, after falling and cutting his knee. He was good with children and in that moment he reminded me a lot of the old Harry I used to know. I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned to see Niall and Zayn standing there.
"What do you want?" I asked annoyed now, because I wasn't in the mood to put up with their shit anymore.
"We wanted to say sorry..." Zayn said and I frowned.
"We want to try get a long with Harry. Get to know him I guess. The others think we are stupid, Eleanor is furious. But we gathered that if you could get a long with him, we want to try." Niall said and I nodded. I turned to look at Harry who was still laughing and doing funny things to make the kid laugh again and I smiled.
"On one condition..." I said and they both nodded.
"We all have a game of football. 4 against 4." I said and the grinned before nodding. We all walked towards Harry and I watched his smile drop as he stood up and looked to the ground.
"Uh hi Harry, I'm Zayn." Zayn said holding his hand out and I saw Harry frown as he looked up at Zayn. Zayn smiled at him and I nodded, telling Harry to take his hand. He did and shook it and I could see him smile a bit.
"I'm Niall!" Niall said happily and shook Harry's hand.
"We want to start over. Can we try be friends with you? Earn your respect at least?" Zayn asked and I watched as Harry's expression softened and nodded slowly.
"Come on then! Lets get this game started. Big kids against small kids." I said the kids laughed before running off with the ball, meaning the game had started.
