They say that the world was built for two, Only worth living if somebody is loving you And, baby, now you do

4 years ago,
Doncaster.
After the bathroom panic incident at his farewell party, things got good in Louis's life. Harry and he became best friends. It's surprising because of their small age gap but they made it. They suddenly became THE BEST FRIENDS in their school.
Harry would wait for Louis during football sessions and Louis would go to war for Harry if anyone bullies him. Harry only shows his vulnerable side to Louis, like painting Nails in his home and trying to date his crush who is deeply invested in a straight relationship.
Louis was a coward back then because he was scared about his parent's reputation. They both are perfectly in the closet but they both did have some rendezvous with some other person.
When Louis turned sixteen the image was clear to him. He's not just homosexual he's actually Harrysexual. They both hurt themselves for the sake of trying to keep up with a friend act but one night Louis broke off the heat.
"So what about the guy over there?" Harry asked as Harry sipped the water while Louis drank his beer.
"What's up with him?" Louis asked as he glanced around the bar to meet the guy Harry was referring to.
That was the time, Derek a college student who came into their gay friendship picture who happens to work at the bar so they got some privilege here.
"He looks like your type" Harry shrugged
"Why he's my type?" Louis asked genuinely
"I don't know! Just a hunch" Harry said
The guy has a beard, brown eyes, an American look, older than Louis, wearing a t-shirt printed 'Hater'. He's nothing but not Louis type. At the bottom of the line, he's not Harry.
A thing back then was Harry would degrade himself and push others away when he was uncomfortable. That never happened when he was with Louis but that day it happened.
He constantly pushes Louis to make out with the other guy while Louis's mind is chanting one word. "Harry! Harry! Harry". Harry pushed him hard and the dam broke
"For fuck sake Harry. You are my type" Once he opened his mouth the things he hid started to flow.
"He is not you. Nobody is you. I wanted to date you, love you, not him. Or not anybody. I just- I may sound pathetic but god, I've crush on you for like years" Louis said
He can go on how much he likes Harry but Harry not giving any reaction made things worse.
"I'm sorry if I overste-" Louis was cut off by Harry's hug.
"It took you this many months to say it? you idiot" Harry smiled
"What do you mean?" Louis asked
Harry removed himself and said
"What do you think I was doing when you bumped into me in the bathroom" Harry asked
"Uh- Crying for some makeup bully?" Louis asked
"No! I saw you kiss Levi, it hurt me"
"Damn, you curly! So there is no platonic friendship between us?" Louis smiled
"Lou, It was never there" Harry laughed
Louis was not aware that Harry liked him back. They both were so dumb. Louis reserved a table on the same week Sunday for the date with Harry. Chemistry, biology, Physics every subject between them was amazing.
"I should head back" Louis said for the fourth time in a row
"You have to lift your feet to move" Harry smiled as he leaned back to his house door.
"Yeah! Good night" Louis said
"Honestly! If you say that one more time and not making any move to mean it. I've to kiss you by myself" Harry crossed his hands.
"Oh, Darling! Are you desperate?" Louis coos. They may tease each other but in deep they both are just scared.
Louis slowly leaned in and cupped Harry's face.
"You are beautiful, curly" Louis whispered and captured Harry's pulp lips with his thin ones.
When their lips connect, the feeling Louis got is nothing he can compare to romantic novels. It was more than ink on paper. The kiss was short yet blissful enough to make Louis's world crumble nicely.

Present,
London.
Louis threw Niall's keys on the table and switched on the light to traumatise his eyes.
"Fucking hell Niall" Louis shouted and closed his eyes.
"Shit" Niall cussed as he covered his partner.
"I'm sorry! Sorry. I'm going to my room" Louis said and rushed into his room.
Louis closed the door behind and flopped onto the mattress. He thought about the night, after a Long time he spent good time with Harry. His heart anticipated spending the following days with him. He shook his head and said to himself
"He spoke to me because He was drunk"
Louis stripped his clothes and got into his sheets. Before he could close his eyelids, Niall opened the door.
"Seriously Louis?" Niall shouted
"Mate! I've no idea that you would be doing it on the couch"
"And here I thought you would sleep with Harry" Niall folded his arms.
"You saw him, he's very much drunk. You may not give me credit for my behaviours but I'm a gentlemen Niall" Louis sounded pissed
"No! I mean you would stay with him. You know- take care of him" Niall said
Louis laughed without humour
"Why would I?"
"You know why," Niall said softly like it was a secret
Tears swell in Louis's eyes as he turns away from Niall's face. He's not ready for this, he is never ready to talk about Harry. Louis may act like he's the boss but when it comes to Harry, all he can feel is a cowardly, scared 14-year-old boy.
"What happened with you two mate?" Niall asked worriedly
Louis chuckled
"A story for another time mate" With that he closed his eyes.
