All I've Ever Known

09 - Harry

Harry woke up early in the morning, not able to contain his excitement about seeing Louis again this afternoon. It was his last day off before flying to Melbourne tomorrow and the pair had decided to spend the day together. His and Louis' night on the beach had been wonderful, although Harry was still feeling a lot of guilt about their history and break up. He was also so relieved that he had finally said to Louis what he had wanted to after all these years. It was 7:30am and Louis wouldn't be here until 10 which was still pretty early for him. Louis had said he was bringing a surprise over when he texted late last night, and Harry was dying with curiosity over what the fuck that meant.

Feeling like doing some writing, Harry got out of bed throwing some pants on and made himself a coffee after taking his medication. He picked up his journal and sat out on the balcony, thinking of a certain blue-eyed individual with a crinkly smile. Lyrics flew out onto the page faster than he could keep up with, once he had a couple verses and a chorus he retrieved his guitar from his room and brought it back out onto the balcony.

Strumming his guitar for a while and trying out different chords, he struck one that felt right as he began singing-

'Sweet Creature

Had another talk about where it's going wrong

But we're still young

We don't know where we're going

But we know where we belong

And oh, we started

Two hearts in one home

It's hard when we argue

We're both stubborn

I know, but oh

Sweet Creature, sweet creature

Wherever I go, you bring me home

Sweet creature, sweet creature

When I run out of road, you bring me home'

All Harry could think about while he was singing was LouisLouisLouis and how perfectly his lyrics depicted his feelings about their relationship, the hard times, how Louis made him feel and how much he loved him, was in awe of him. He continued strumming the same chords again, thinking back to their relationship, the good times, the times they spent not speaking and how much Harry wondered about him wishing they talked more. The song wrote itself by then-

'Sweet creature

We're running through the garden

Oh, where nothing bothered us

But we're still young

I always think about you and how we don't speak enough

And oh, we started

Two hearts in one home

I know, it hard when we argue

We're both stubborn

I know, but oh

Sweet Creature, sweet creature

Wherever I go, you bring me home

Sweet creature, sweet creature

When I run out of road, you bring me home'

Harry quickly wrote down the other verse, re-read the lyrics and smiled at his song. He named it Sweet Creature (Louis) and closed his journal. Just then he heard a knock on the door, panicking he looked at his phone at the time. Exactly 10 o'clock, shit he'd completely lost track of time day dreaming about Louis when now, Louis was here. He frantically put his guitar back in his room, running his hands through his hair and didn't even bother putting a shirt on as he was running for the door. He yanked it open to reveal Louis with his fist in the air, to knock again. Louis froze, and Harry would be lying if he didn't blush as Louis' eyes gave him a once over clearly checking him out.
