 - 

Harry and Louis keep texting after that very first date. And they go on more dates after that, always still with their blindfolds on, but it's incredible. Louis has the best time.

They talk about simple things like the weather or about how their day has been, but also about things like what they dislike in people or what they value in a relationship. And they kiss, a lot. It makes Louis flustered to just think back to it.

Louis really likes Harry and this should be a good thing. It is a good thing. But, Louis can't help but be scared.

He doesn't want to lose Harry. He has grown so fond of the silly man that he has become attached.

Harry seems like a nice enough guy that he wouldn't judge or unfriend someone because of a disability, Louis knows him well enough to know he isn't like that, but would Harry want to be in a relationship with someone that can't see him?

Louis can't tell him how beautiful he looks, because he can't see. They can't go to a city together and Louis can tell him how pretty the architecture is.

Louis has grown used to those kinds of things and his friends don't care either, but will Harry want to start a relationship with someone who he can't have those certain moments with? Friendship is one thing, but a relationship with the aim to maybe get married and to have kids one day is a whole other level.

Now, Louis is on his way to work. His cane goes from side to side over the ribbed tiles that tell him he hasn't walked onto the street where the cars drive, but that he's safely on the pavement.

It has gotten a routine to walk from his apartment to work. It's about a 10 minute walk and yes, London is very busy, but everyone, even tourists miraculously, know that they have to get out of the way for him.

He barely has faced any confrontations and he likes the fresh air and the walk. It's a healthy activity and one of the safer ones too. Running or bicycling is out of question for him.

He is just about to pass the street to get to the studio where he is meeting with the songwriting crew, when someone bumps into him very harshly.

Louis lets out a groan as he tumbles to the ground and to make matters even worse, the person that ran into him, starts cursing at him.

"Just because you're blind, it doesn't mean that you can run into people like that, you freak!" An older man's voice yells at him. "You can't see, but that doesn't mean that I will go out of the way. Just go to a mental place, you dumb fucker." He sneers.

Louis cowers away to the floor.

Normally, he is good at standing his ground against these kinds of people, but now, just next to a busy motorway, he feels vulnerable and oh so small.

"That's what I thought, you-" The old man starts to say, when he can hear another man yell "Hey, you!"

Louis wants to shrink even deeper into the street tiles, scared that another man is going to yell at him too.

"Fuck off, you're an insensitive asshole." The stranger yells and the voice is oddly familiar to Louis, but he can't seem to place it.

"This man has every right to walk outside on the street."

Louis is surprised. The man is on his side? Oh thank god.

"Just because you are too selfish to go out of the way for someone that didn't see you coming, doesn't mean that it's his fault. It's yours. Now please, leave him alone, and next time, just get out of the way and shut that stupid mouth of yours."
