where does the time go? ; larry au

month 2

when they become best friends.

;;
"hey louis"

"yes, harry?"

"you're my best friend, okay?"

"sure harry, yeah."

they met only a month ago. they've been inseparable ever since. the two boys do everything together. if you see louis, you see harry. if you see harry, you see louis. it's like they were conjoined twins or something.

today, the two boys were in an ice cream parlor. they decided to go out today, since they didn't have any plans. they were sat in a booth, right next to the window so they could on look the scenery.

"harry?" louis asked quietly as he licked the vanilla ice cream off his spoon. harry hummed in response, waiting for the boy to continue.

"did you have a special person that you grew up with?" it was an odd question, but louis wanted to know. harry pondered for a bit before answering.

"yeah. my mum. i didn't have her for very long. she passed in April of '99. sure i didn't have her for as long as i'd like, but she's still special to me.." harry looked down at the table, frowning. then he looked back at louis who was staring straight back at him. there was a tingling feeling in his belly, but he ignored it. "what about you, lou?"

louis nods, putting his spoon into the little plastic bowl. "i had my younger sister. her name was charlotte but we called her lottie. she passed when she was sixteen. but - the thing is, it wasn't even her time to go. a week early, death came. got hit by a drunk driver -" louis couldn't even finish before tears were rolling down his cheeks, face in his hands. harry gasped and went over to louis' side of the booth. he wrapped louis up in a comforting embrace, kissing him on the forehead and whispering "it's okay, it's okay. we've got each other. that's all that matters."

and, yeah. they've got each other. for now.
