Work Text:

"C'mon Lou!"

Louis and Harry just got out of class and were now making their way over to the Styles home. As per usual, Louis was struggling to keep up with Harry's long strides.

"Harry, please! You're walking too fast."

The taller of the two stopped and looked behind him to see Louis pouting at him. His heart melted at the sight of the small and beautiful boy in front of him.

"Sorry Lou, I always forget."

Louis smiled and caught up to his best friend, them walking side by side.

Within 10 minutes, the two best friends arrived at Harry's two-story home. As soon as they got inside, they went upstairs to Harry's bedroom. Like usual, Louis made himself comfortable on the bed in the middle of the room.

"Move over." Harry said with a push to Louis' side. Louis lifted his head to give Harry a playful scowl while his glasses slid down his little button nose.

"Awww, you're so cute." Harry cooed.

"Hey! I'm not cute, I'm manly as hell.." Louis finished dejectedly.

"Right..." Harry rolled his eyes, lifting one of Louis' arms to show his sweater paw.

Louis snatched his arm out of Harry's hand. "Hey stop, it's not my fault I have short arms."

Harry laughed and wrapped his arms around the smaller boy. "Oh Lou, I'm just kidding." He pressed a kiss to Louis' temple as soon as his bedroom door opened.

"Hey Har- whoa, sorry. Didn't know anything intimate would be going on in here."

Louis looked towards the now opened door to find the last person he'd expect.

Edward.

Ed had been Louis' crush for the past four months. Due to their age difference, Louis being a freshman and Ed being a senior, he'd never spoken to the older boy. He'd always attend the school's football games just to see Ed sweaty and to admire his tattoos from the stands. He was stunning and Louis was- well, just Louis.

"Ed!" Louis turned back to his best friend to find his cheeks a bright pink. "Nothing intimate was going on, swear!"

The senior chuckled deeply, sending chills up Louis' spines. "Sorry Haz." Harry cringed, only Louis could make that nickname cute. "I wasn't trying to make fun though. That'd be pretty impressive to be honest."

"What do you mean?" Harry asked with a furrow in his brow.

"I'm just saying I'd be surprised to see you in a relationship with someone so... pretty."

Louis and Harry's cheeks were now matching shades of pink. Ed smirked again and moved closer to the bed.

"What's your name, love?"

"L-louis."

"Well, it's been lovely meeting you." Ed responded with a wink and turned to leave the room.

"I'm so sorry about that." Harry started as soon as the door closed, nuzzling his face in Louis' shoulder to hide his flaming cheeks.

"Uh- why was he here?"
