Harry's POV
What was I thinking!? Louis is straight. Wait, so are you. Maybe. I can't believe I almost kissed him. I don't know why I did it, he just looked so gorgeous. Harry! You aren't supposed to think that way about your best mate! I groaned, beginning to smell smoke.
"You burnt the toast, didn't you Lou?" I chuckled.
"Um, no," he said.
I looked down at the pan where I was cooking the eggs, only to find four blackened eggs. Great, I was so distracted thinking about Louis that I burnt our breakfast.
"Are you okay? You've never burnt a meal before," Louis asked, "at least not since I've known you."
"Yeah," I replied, "just a little distracted. I'll be right back. You don't mind having cereal for breakfast, do you?"
"'Course I'm okay with it," Louis smiled, that brilliant smile of his.
I mentally slapped myself, before walking into my room and calling my mum.
***Phone Conversation***
"Hello? Harry?" My mum asked sleepily.
"Hey mum," I smiled.
"Well," she said, "it's about time. I can't believe I had to find out that my son has a boyfriend on an interview."
"About that, mum," I murmered, "I don't really have a boyfriend."
"But you and Louis announced you were dating," she said, confused.
"Yeah, well," I said, "it was a dare. We got dared to date awhile and then pretend like we never dated and be seen going out with girls."
"Oh," she said, "and how do you feel about that?"
"I don't know mum," I sighed, "I mean this isn't the first time I've questioned my sexuality, you know that, but it feels so much stronger this time. I'm really starting to like him, maybe love him, mum."
"You say that like it's a bad thing sweety," she questioned.
"Mum, it is a bad thing. Louis is straight, and I'm well I'm not sure," I said.
"And how do you know he is straight?" She asked.
"Because he just is mum," I explained.
"I'm not so sure," she said, "anyway I have to get to work. I love you Harry and trust me it will all work out."
"Thanks mum," I smiled, "I love you too."
***End of Phone Conversation***
I walked down the stairs and saw Louis curled up on the couch, a bowl of cereal and a piece of toast in his hands. I smiled at the image, but I couldn't get what my mum said out of my head. She thinks Louis isn't straight? How could she think that? I need to start looking for proof that he isn't.
"Hey love," Louis smiled, "what were you doing in your room?"
"I was just calling my mum," I replied, blushing.
He called me love! That's just because you suggested acting like a couple. He doesn't really want you. And you don't want him. Or do you?
"What did she say?" he asked.
"Um, n-not much," I stammered, "w-we just talked about t-the dare."
"Oh," Louis frowned, "what did she say about it?"
"Well at first she was really happy," I said, "she thought we were really dating, but when I told her it was a dare she seemed almost upset."
"I see," Louis said, looking thoughtful.
"It's kind of funny, actually," I said, "I mean, I knew the fans wanted us together, but knowing my own mum did too is a little weird."
"Yeah," Louis smirked, then frowned, "why would she think that? Are you, you know?"
My jaw dropped. He can't find out, if he did he would never let me kiss him or pretend to be his boyfriend.
"N-no," I stuttered, "I-I'm straight."
Louis' frown stayed on his face, "oh. Me too."
He didn't seem very happy about it. Maybe there is a chance he likes me! Harry you idiot, there is no way he likes you. He's straight and you're just looking for an opportunity to make it seem like he isn't. I frowned. When did life become so complicated?
"So," Louis said, dragging me back to reality, "I was thinking that, maybe, tonight you and I could go on our first date. I mean, if you don't want to we-"
"Louis," I smiled, interrupting him, "that sounds lovely, but I want to be the one to plan it."
"But-"
"No buts, I'm going to plan it, enough said," I smirked.
Louis pouted, looking a lot like a five year old, but dropped the matter. Now, where am I going to take him? I left the room , heading towards my room, to look on my laptop.
"Where are you going Haz?"
"To plan our date Lou," I smiled.
I opened my door and climbed onto my bed, pulling my laptop into my lap. I looked up restaurant after restaurant and finally one caught my eye. Kayloros I called in and made a reservation for 6. I smiled, tonight was going to be perfect.
