Until they tear us apart. | l.s.

Quick question: did you like the chat picture in the last chapter? Would you like to see more of those if it fits the story?

"I can't believe I let you convince me to go to school for the last two hours. This is ridiculous!" Louis complained as he started the car and backed out of the gravel parking lot.

After their talk they stayed seated on the bench for a little longer and talked some more until it got too cold and they switched into the car where Louis held Harry and they simply enjoyed being close to each other again after the last eventful months. Eventually Louis noticed some faint uneasiness in Harry's behaviour and it needed a half hour discussion until he finally told Louis he was worried about skipping school an entire day.

"School's important, Lou." Harry giggled and turned in his seat to be able to properly look at him.

"Yeah, but it doesn't harm anyone skipping a day." Louis argued.

"But you told me earlier you skip often." Harry remembered.

"Not often. Sometimes." Louis corrected.

"You shouldn't skip at all." Harry frowned.

"But you're skipping right now as well. You're a bad boy now." Louis grinned.

"I'm not!" Harry gasped outraged. "Imma good boy." He added pouting.

"Let's see if mum thinks so as well when I tell her." Louis smirked and Harry gasped once more horrified.

"Lou, no! You can't-"

"I'm joking, bub. I would never tell her." Louis smiled softly and reached out his hand over the middle console. Harry took it instantly, a tingling feeling started where their hands touched and wandered through his entire body to his heart that warmed up immediately.

"Can we do that here? What if anyone passes us and sees it?" He asked slightly worried as he looked at their intertwined hands.

"I highly doubt that." Louis chuckled. "But if you are scared we can stop it." He attempted to pull his hand away, but Harry sucked in a sharp breath and clutched onto it.

"No!" He rushed out.

"Knew it." Louis grinned. He brought his hand up to his mouth and kissed the back of it quickly. "Don't worry. No one will see us in here. Let's just be careful when we're in public or at home, yeah?"

"But when can we be together then without having to fear anyone seeing us?" Harry asked sadly.

Harry had a point there and Louis pursed his lips in thought. He hummed as he drummed his fingers on the steering wheel contemplating what was the best idea of the few he had in mind.

"Okay..." He said eventually. "What would you say if we go out and do something together out of Donny at least once a week? Then we can do whatever we want without anyone possibly catching us." He suggested.

"But why only once a week? I wanna kiss and cuddle you everyday." Harry pouted.

Louis smiled to himself in awe at how carefree Harry was just saying what he was thinking, not even worrying once about saying the wrong thing which was refreshing to see. Usually everyone always contemplated what were the right choice of words, when was the right time to address them, but because Harry was so inexperienced he didn't worry about such things, almost like children who wore their hearts on their tongues.

"I know, bub. I want that too, but we have to be careful and if we suddenly go out together too often mum and dad will notice something and that's the last thing that could happen." Louis reasoned.
