~corrupting you~

The boxes lay scattered along the pavement, a sight that though he wouldn't admit it, made Calum's heart sting.
He laid the basket in his hand down and peered into the packages of Zayn's schoolwork and belongings, he picked up the shiny plastic gold medal that Zayn had won during a sports day.

"You can have that if you like"

Calum dropped the medal,startled by the sudden voice.

"Sorry, I'm Louis by the way" he smiled "did you know him?" The boy gestured towards the box.

Calum cleared his throat
"Yeah, he used to be a mate"

Louis nodded, his pale eyes flickering from the boxes to the basket
"I take it that's for me?"

Calum smiled, pushing his hands into his jean pockets.
"Organic cookies, my favourite" Louis grinned, picking up the basket with one arm.

Calum shook his head and chuckled
"Yeah, my mum made it"

"I figured" he smiled "so...would it be totally weird to ask you to help me carry some boxes up stairs? An extra pair of hands would be sweet"

Calum raised an eyebrow "it would be totally weird, yes" he smiled "but I'll help anyway"

The boy let out a short breath in relief
"Thanks man"

"Is that your girlfriend?" Calum smiled, gesturing towards the framed photo on Louis drawers

The boy set down a box and smiled, wiping his hands on his washed out jeans
"Yeah"

Calum hesitated "She's cute"

His smile dropped "yeah, she's also four thousand miles away" louis shook his head
"What about you?"

"Oh, I have a girlfriend, her names Holly" Calum clicked his tongue "she swims on the same team as me"

Louis smiled "i figured you swim, you have the body"
Calum's cheeks began to heat, however the boy seemed completely unphased by his compliment.

"So, I guess that makes you a jock?"

"Ehhm, I suppose" Calum spluttered.

Louis grinned cheekily "so, you'd kill me if I smoke a little weed?"

Calum arched an eyebrow
"What about you parents?"

"They're out" Louis shrugged, reaching into a backpack and pulling out a tin box.

Calum was lost for words, as an athlete he'd never even considered being around Drugs or someone who took them.

"I mean, I won't if you don't want me too" Louis reasoned, drumming his long fingers on the box, making a gentle rhythm.

"Ehmmm, sure, go ahead" Callum spluttered.

"Wanna join me?"

"Sure" Calum shrugged, trying the ignore how fast his heartbeat was.

Louis began rolling a joint and Calum was fascinated by the way his hands worked.

"First time?" he smirked cheekily.

"No" Calum shot back, before ducking his warm cheeks "okay, yeah it is"

"So" Louis began, that same warm smile that Calum was getting used to.
"I guess I'm corrupting you?" The boy let out a stifled laugh, the roll up resting between his lips "are you okay with that?"
Calum watched he smoke seek from the joint, almost highlighting Louis's sharp features.

"Yeah" the tanned boy paused, taking the joint in between his fingers
"I think I am"
