You're Umami Baby (Larry Stylinson)

Chapter 5

A/N A little bit of a longer chapter, we are getting into some of Harry's past. Hope you all enjoy !

Louis felt like he was on top of the world, almost having a skip in his step as he walked into work. He may be the tiniest bit sad that he can't share his happiness with Niall and Liam, but he's sure the time will come soon. Harry kissed him and clearly really likes him, that's all Louis cares about.

His day was immediately made when he woke up to a good morning text from the green eyed man. Considering he got it at 8 am Louis had no clue when this guy slept when they stopped texting at 2 am. He constantly seemed to be doing work for the restaurant, but he loved all the attention Harry still gave him despite that.

"What's up with you mr.smiley?" Liam teased him as he saw Louis come into the kitchen, "no one should be this happy at work."

"Oh you know Derrick is gone so that means no shoving," Louis tried to play off, "looks like chef is close to getting rid of him, thankfully."

Liam hummed as he carefully eyed him, "you behaving with Harry?"

"Will you hop off my dick?" Louis groaned, his annoyance clearly showing.

"Louis," he slightly warned him to watch the attitude, especially in the kitchen, "I know you've been staying back with him because of your little crush, but watch it," he said quietly.

"What the fuck is your problem?" Louis didn't try to hide his irritation, "why are you breathing down my neck about this?"

"Because I've worked my ass off for 6 years to help build this place and you aren't ruining it or burning any bridges," Liam's own anger was showing.

Louis clenched his jaw, doing everything in his power to restrain himself from screaming, "so you care about a fucking job over my happiness?"

Liam's face fell as he shook his head, "Lou I didn't say that-"

"Dude you basically fucking did!" Louis raised his voice, making a few heads turn their way, "you're being an asshole and selfish and-"

"Louis stop it," Liam gritted out as he placed a hand on his chest, needing him to calm down, "don't blow up over a guy you don't even really know and-"

"Fuck you," Louis nearly spat through his teeth as he shoved his hand off him, "I know him more than you! I-"

"Hey!"

Both Liam and Louis went frozen at Harry's voice, slowly turning their heads and seeing a touch of anger on his face as he walked over to them.

"What the hell is going on?"

Liam looked between Louis and Harry, noticing the blue eyed man's sudden terror, "nothing chef..."

"Then get your staff ready for dinner," Harry nodded to the wait station, making sure Liam walked away before his eyes met Louis', "dish pit. Now."

Louis gulped as Harry turned on his heel and started walking to the other room, not knowing the last time he was this afraid. It was obvious Harry was a little mad, and with it directed at Louis, he felt himself crumbling.

"Did you tell him?" Harry asked as soon as they were alone.

"Harry no, I swear," Louis rushed out, "he's being a dick because he knows I have a crush on you and thinks it'll blow up on him."

The curly haired man relaxed ever so slightly, "but he thinks you just have a crush?"

Louis bit his lip as he nodded, "you asked me not to say anything, and I didn't, and I won't," he said honestly, even though it pained him a little.
