Boundless •L.S•

Friendship|2

Alright, so here is the thing! Louis loves his mates. He truly does and cares for them - he does, no matter how he chooses to express that or even express it at all, but he does!

The problem is that Louis also knows that his mates love and care for him - of course, but the problem is that he doesn't want them to worry about him.

He just doesn't want his friends to worry at all, knowing very well that they do worry a lot about him and that they are concerned about him most of the time.

Louis admits that he's one to blame for that. He's let himself go in ways that no human should, and so normally, you would worry.

Liam is calm and collected he cares for Louis and worries all the time, too, but he knows not to do much about it - he knows that it's pointless, completely pointless.

Niall, well, Niall knows that too - he has kind of given up too but that doesn't mean that he won't worry or won't get mad at Louis' reckless decisions.

The thing is that the lads have put some rules for each other, normally since they are some of the most known faces for the moment and would get recognized the moment that they step outside.

So, to avoid any problems or accidents, they have rules- rules that Louis loves to ignore.

Yeah, that is something makes Niall just not want to see Louis face and yeah maybe he is right too but Louis doesn't want Niall to care about Louis and the rules put for 'his own good' as his mate claims them to be.

He simply doesn't want his mate to worry.

And maybe that's just asking for too much, but it is what it is.

And so, to avoid an annoyed and mad-at-Louis Niall in their concert tomorrow night, Louis decided to be the grown-up and talk to his friend.

His friend whom he can not find right now.

"He's outside, smoking." Liam says, keeling his focus on his guitar.

Louis nods and heads for the balcony where Niall was indeed.

"Since when do you smoke again?"

"Since the moment that you decided to be a pain in the ass."

Louis just nods, "Fair enough."

"I know."

"Well, I'm not really sorry but I will do anything to get you to stop being a bitch about this."

Niall just let's out an annoyed breath "Fuck you, honestly."

Louis grins, "Sure thing, babe."

"Eat shit."

And Louis just laughs as he goes to plant a kiss on his mates lips. "No, I certainly won't do that." Niall just smiles as he shakes his head at his friend.

"I'm hungry, get me food."

Louis only chuckles as he nods his head at his mates antics, he didn't deserve the Ray if sunshine that was called Niall, he really didn't.

.....

Louis day is fairly boring, since he has been staying in all day since the morning and each of the three lads have been going on with their own business.

"Jesus Liam what got you so happy all of a sudden." Niall voice makes Louis slightly look up to see what his mate is referring to.

"Huh?" Liam gets out as he immediately turns off his phone.

"Is it him?" Niall asks sitting a little too close to Liam, showing the lad that he has his mates undivided attention.

"Him?" Louis asks.

"Liam's boyfriend."

"Since when does Liam have a boyfriend?"

"A while now but he hasn't thought of even telling us who it is."

Louis and Niall talk as if Liam is not even in the room making the brown eyed man roll his eyes, "Well I didn't know I had to tell you everything about my dating life."

"Ouch." Louis says, trying to act dramatic, but in the end, being unable to hide his smile from his mate. "I thought we were besties, Liam! What kind of betrayal is this?!" He puts the back of his hand against his forehead to add a little more drama in everything.

"Exactly! Bros before hoes, babe!" The American accent makes Louis chuckle a little.

"Oh my god, stop you two!" Liam cringes as he covers his face with both his hands, making his two mates start to laugh at his reaction.

"No, but seriously, why didn't you tell us, I mean sure you don't have to -" Lpuis says always wanting to be supportive of his friend.

"Even though you do have to." Niall cuts Louis off. Way to kill the moment, really.

Liam chuckles, "Well, he's quite known himself."

"Is he now?" Niall says, rolling around the bed to get on his tummy and prop his face on his hand to look up at Liam.
"Go on!" He nods.

"Zayn Malik." Is all Liam gets out before a blush tints his cheeks.

Louis looks up in surprise, "Zayn Malik, as in Zayn Malik? That's your boyfriend? Zayn Milk?" Liam just nods, Louis reaction a little bit too dramatic for being equally famous with Zayn Malik, but then again Zayn Malik! You can only be blind not to appreciate the man's beauty.

"Ok, well, I didn't expect that either. " Niall cackles because in Niall's world, everything seems to be funny.

Louis looks at Liam with a small smile. "That's great, congratulations. I guess then, mate."

"Yeah, sorry for not telling you guys." Liam smiles as Louis throws a book Nialls way to stop him from laughing.

"What's so hilarious?" Louis rolls his eyes as Niall glares at him.

"I just felt like laughing." The Irish lad shrugs, perfectly normal explanation, right? Yeah...

"I swear to God, Niall."

"Ok, when are we meeting him, then?" Niall asks.

"Do what?" Liam says a frightened look, taking over his face as if what Niall had just suggested must have been a joke or something.

"Meet him."

"Uh, I don't know, tomorrow?" Liam asks, voice quiet, and it only makes Louis smile at him reassuringly.

"I dunno." Niall shrugs.

"I'm gonna have to ask him..."

"Oh, well, I'm bored." Louis changes the topic sensing
that Liam isn't that comfortable.

"Deal with it." Niall says as he throws a pillow at Louis.

"I don't want to." Louis throws it back at Niall.

"Cunt."

"Fucker."

"Children." Liam muses as he looks at his mates with amusement in his eyes.

"You said what now?" Niall looks at Liam, a manic look taking over his face as in the most slow movements he goes to grab a pillow and then throws it at him.

And with that, a pillow fight starts between the three friends.

The three of them having some actual good time with each other - genuine.

And that's the relationship they have with each other, one that is certainly hard to break, where even if they haven't talked in years and just met up they would still talk as if they last met each other the day before.

Louis certainly loved his mates and the friendship that they had developed over the years of knowing each other, and even if sometimes he failed to show it, he really did.
