Football, love, and curls (Larry Stylinson)

Chapter 5 ⚽️

It was finally Saturday so I went to Nialls to sleepover."Hey man!" Niall said, opening the door and letting me in. "We just finished dinner so if you're hungry we have leftovers in the microwave." He told me.

"Did your mom not let you eat it because I was coming over?"

"yeah..." he sighed. "But you're eating it. I haven't seen you eat in ages."

"Alright, that's fair." We stared and looked at each other for a bit. "I was implying now."

"Oh okay. Microwave?" he nodded and i clicked the 30 second button and when it was finished i grabbed a fork and ate a few tiny bites while avoiding looking at him. After 1-2 minutes he said "you know what, let's play FIFA." "Okay," I said and followed him up the stairs.

"Ready to be absolutely destroyed Neil." I say grabbing one of his remotes and sitting in his bed "nuh uh because you're going down this time."

"Sure whatever you say." He laughs and turns on his system and we play for a while. I won 12 games and he won 10 "I told you Horan!"

"Shut up Tomlinson." He said shoving me off his bed. I fall to the floor and wince in pain. I sit up a scramble to the other side of the room. "Louis? Are you okay?" I look at him and nod hoping he wouldn't see the glossy tears coating my eyes. "You don't look like it." "I-I'm fine Niall." I nodded and he walked over to me and helped me up I sat in his bed farthest from anywhere and started snapping a rubber band on my wrist.

I don't bring my blade because I don't want Niall to find it and make me stop. So a rubber band should work for now

"why are you snapping that band so much?"

Well there goes the rubber band method I guess.

"I don't know."

"Sure okay mate, I have a guess of what you're using it for but I'm not gonna press you on it. I'm going to grab some snacks and I'll be right back." I nodded and laid down.

why does Niall have to be so observant.

Niall came back not too long later with a bowl of dry cereal and popcorn. He handed me the bowl of cereal and smiled before turning on a movie.

"So do ya fancy anyone?" he asked during a romantic-ish part

"No"

yes

"don't lie to me Tommo." I looked at him confused.

"We've known each other for 10 years. I know when you lie, who is he?"

"Wait how'd you know it was going to be a he?"

"You haven't had a girlfriend in like 5 plus years and I see the way you stare at Harry."

I blush slightly and smile. "and you're okay with it?"

"As long as you're happy Louis." My smile falls a little but we turn our attention back to the tv. We ended up falling asleep pretty late that night staying up and talking.

I could tell he was avoiding certain topics and people.

The next morning we went down to eat breakfast I had some toast and a cup of orange juice. Niall had like three pieces of toast, two eggs. potatoes, and four bacon strips.

How does one eat that much at 9 o'clock in the morning?!

After that we went to go pick up Haddy. We were going to some carnival. I sat in the back and hHaddy sat in the front with Niall. And as always they argued the whole way there.
