As it turned out, the company loved the artwork and wanted another one. So this time Zayn decided to paint Liam again, but at the park. It was the weekend so the whole gang piled into Harry's car and drove to the park. Zayn dragged Liam away to find the perfect place to paint leaving Harry and Louis alone.
Harry had to admit, it was really nice day and his friend really had an art for beauty. It was a nice ambience to paint. Harry wishes he had brought his camera, so he could take more pictures of the park, or maybe just Louis at the park.
Harry and Louis walked around the park, Louis studying the other people there. There were more people there since the last time they came. Families and friends were gathered around enjoying the nice weather. Kids laughed, while the parents chatted about their days. Louis studied the things he had never seen before.
He followed the movement of the ball in a football match. He smiled at the older couple sitting on a nearby match. He giggled at the little boy who was giving a little girl a flower. The giggle stopped short when he noticed the way the girl blushed and leaned in to kiss the boy on the cheek. He blushed too and Louis found it a bit strange, so he asked Harry about it. Harry was more than happy to explain.
"Well the little boy liked the little girl so he wanted to show her." He starts watching as the two kids now run around, playing tag. "He gave her something pretty because he thought she was pretty." Louis nods and asks why she did what she did. "Well it was like saying thank you." Louis nods. He thinks he understands so he leans over and plants a kiss on Harry's cheek. Harry freezes in his track, cheeks burning.
Thank you for sharing home with Louis." Harry can't help the fond smile that graces his lips.
He and Louis walk around for a while longer before he spots the playground. He looks around; looking for the swings they went on last time. Once he finds them he leads Louis over telling him to take a seat. Louis nods, but when he sees Harry going to sit on his own swing, he shakes his head. Harry frowns, asking Louis why he doesn't want to sit.
"Louis will fall." Harry smiles. Louis wasn't used to sitting on it without someone behind him. So he tells him to sit in his lap instead. Louis sits contently until he feels the swing say a bit. "Won't us fall?" Louis asks whimpering in fear. He feels safe that Harry is on the swing with him, but he doesn't like that they could topple off. Last time Harry was there to catch him if he fell, but now, who would catch Harry.
"Louis we'll be fine, but if you want I can just push you again." He says, except Louis is shaking his head.
"Louis want to stay, but he want to sit different." Harry watches confusedly as Louis moves off he then turns and reaches his arms out for Harry to take. Harry pulls him forward and Louis situates himself so he straddles Harry's lap. His arms rest around Harry's shoulder and his legs wrap around to stay steady. Louis fits his head into the crook of Harry's neck and tells him it's okay to move. Harry sways gently, arms around the chains and Louis body to stay balanced. He likes this position. He likes feeling close to Louis. Louis likes too because he feels safe knowing that Harry is right there.
They stay like that for a long time. Harry thinks Louis might have even fallen asleep. However, he pulls back to look at Harry. He smiles and leans forward again to kiss his cheek.
"Thank you."
=O=o=O=
It becomes a bit of a thing after that. Every time Louis wanted to say thank you he would kiss Harry's cheek. Harry loved it. He would do a lot more things just so Louis would do it. Louis wasn't that oblivious he noticed the way Harry did more stuff for Louis so he could get a kiss. He liked that Harry liked the kiss as much as he like providing them.
The action didn't go unnoticed by Zayn either.
"I see Louis has started giving you kisses of his own." He says a few days after he first noticed. Harry is currently making macaroni and cheese.
"Yeah I told him they mean thank you and he likes doing it whenever he can." Harry explains as he stirs the pasta. Zayn smiles even wider. He likes making fun of his friend sometimes.
"I'll bet. He really seems to like you you know." Zayn says earnestly. He sees the way Louis looks at Harry and he can't help but find it endearing. Louis truly adores Harry, even if he doesn't realize it.
"Yeah well I like him too. I thought we had already established that?" Harry chuckles.
"Well yeah, but do you ever plan to do anything about it?" Harry pauses. He hadn't really thought about it, no, but he wouldn't be opposed to doing something.
"Well do you ever plan to do something about Liam?" He counters hoping to stump his best friend. Zayn only smirks, having already had a plan in mind.
"Actually I have. I was thinking of taking him to the drive in. Maybe you two could tag along it could be like a double date." And Harry finds himself nodding. That sounds like a really good idea. Maybe he could finally do something about his little crush.
