Louis sat behind the counter and yawned. He twirled his hair and popped his gum twice, he doesn't know why he decided to work at a bookstore
he hates quietness
and he hates books.
He tapped his fingers on the old wooden counter and looked at his watch. It was now four and Harry should be getting released from school right about now on his way here.
He bit his lip and closed his eyes slowly, he doesn't want to fall asleep right now because that could get him fired even though the boss isn't fucking here.
He heard the small chime when someone walks so he opened his eyes to see someone who's not Harry walk in.
He's a little tan, long curls, and very muscular arms.
"Excuse me, sir." He called out with furrowed eyebrows and Louis raised his indicating that he was listening, "Lewis?"
Louis widened his eyes and furrowed his eyebrows looking at the man up and down, "its Lou-ee, the s is silent." He informed.
The man smiled and he sees how deep his dimples are, small lines on each side of his cheek and his hazel eyes sparkle.
Hazel eyes.
Deep dimples.
"You remind me of my little brother." Said Louis, "well he's a bit paler and his eyes are a little greener than yours."
"Yeah?" He hummed, "that's cool..I wish I had a brother."
"What happened?" Louis asked, leaning forward as the man walked towards the counter.
"He uh..he just went missing.." The hazel eyed stranger said, but then shrugged with a heavy sigh, "Do you happen to have any books on dogs?"
Louis cocked his head to the side and pointed to the section on the far left, it was dark over there and he hated it.
"Thank you." He said, walking over to the section he just pointed to, Louis nodded slowly and pouted.
"So uh..what kind of dog do you have?" Louis asked aloud and then sees the customer emerge from the bookshelf and back towards the front with two books; How to House Train a Dog and How to Care for your Puppy
"Husky," he smiled, "How much?" He asked, Louis licked his lips and grabbed the scanner, pressing the small button over the code that rested on the spine of the book.
"Ten twenty nine." Louis answered.
Once the stranger looked down into his wallet it gave Louis a better chance to stare, he noticed something about him, he has a tiny birthmark on his wrist and Harry has one in the exact place, before Louis could really process the stranger had put the money in his hand and he was out.
"He was cute." Louis mumbled.
Then he heard another chime and feels himself get knocked over, he groans and looks down at the familiar head of curls.
"For fucks sakes Harry." Louis whispered, still dazed from the fact he got knocked onto the wall behind him, "How was your day?"
Harry sighed heavily and pushed his face farther into Louis' chest.
"Don't wanna talk about it huh?" Louis asked and shook his head, "wanna go home and cuddle it out?" He asked again and Harry nodded this time because there is nothing more that Harry loves than cuddling.
