(Harry's POV)

My alarm went off, meaning it was time to get up for school. I opened my eyes tiredly and realized I was still in Louis' arms. I stared at him for a moment. He looked so beautiful and peaceful. He's an absolute angel sent from heaven above. He's perfect in every way possible. Yeah, he's a dick. But, that's okay. I like dick anyways.

"Louis." I said sweetly, trying to wake him up.
"Lou." I said and shook him slightly, causing him to stir in his sleep. I smiled at myself for the cute nickname I had just given him. 
"Come on, we gotta go to school." I said and shook him again. He opened his eyes slowly, and yawned. He looked around his surrounds for a second until his eyes finally landed on me. He gave me a sweet smile and said, "Good Morning, Hazza." I smiled at him fondly. Nobody has ever given me a nickname before.
"Morning, Lou." We laid there a few minutes, just looking into each others eyes. We then decided to get up and get ready for school. He borrowed my clothes, again. This time he picked my red skinnies and a marvel shirt. I was happy to see him in red skinnies again. He rolled the ends up to his ankles, like he always does with any pair of pants he wears. The red skinnies hugged his arse nicely. I couldn't help but stare.
"Stop." Louis said, even though he wasn't facing me.
"Stop what?" I said innocently. 
"Stop staring at me." He chuckled.
"M'not." I said smiling. 
"I've got a nice arse, I know. Take a picture. It'll last longer." He replied smoothly causing me to choke on air. He started laughing at me and turned around to see my choking to death. Not really. But, really.

"Don't die on me, Harold." He said still laughing.
"Shut up." I said after my coughing had calmed down.

"You're too cute." He said softly, while his laughing also calmed. I could feel myself blushing. 
"Let's go get some breakfast, yeah?" I said, going to the door.

We made our way down stairs, mum was sleeping in her room due to her late night shift.
We both ate some cereal in silence. After we were done, we put our dishes in the sink and made our way out of the house to go to school. Louis took my hand in his as we walked down the road. I glanced down at our entwined hands and smiled to myself. I felt Louis' eyes on me, so I took a chance and glanced up at him. He was smiling at me sweetly, causing my smile to grow bigger.

We didn't say anything though. The walk to school was silent, but that's okay. Because neither of us let go of the others hand. Not even when we walked into school. Yeah, we got a few weird glances, but we thought nothing of it. We weren't dating. We're just close friends. So, it shouldn't matter what anyone else was thinking. Not that it would even matter if we were dating.

I wish we were dating.

We met Niall and Liam by my locker, they glanced down at our hands for a few seconds and gave us both warm smiles, not saying anything about it though.
"Morning, boys." Liam said.

"Hey." Louis and I said at the same time.
"What have you guys been up to lately?" Niall questioned wiggling his eyebrows.
"Nothing, we hung out last night, watched some movies and I stayed the night. Just the usual." Louis replied causally.
"You're always staying at his house." Liam stated.

"So? Sue me." Louis sassed.
"I'm just saying." Liam said, holding his hands in front of him defensively. 

"Can we not have a fight this morning, please?" I asked, while using my free hand to open my locker and giving Louis' hand a small squeeze.

"Course, sorry Hazza." Louis replied sweetly. Liam and Niall gave each other confused glances but said nothing more.
After I had grabbed what I need to start the day, we said our goodbyes and Louis and I made our way to his locker. He opened it with his free hand and grabbed what he needed. 
"So, have you thought of a song yet, that you want to perform as a solo?" Louis asked me.
"Well, there is this song I've been writing. But, I'm not sure if I wanna sing that in front of the whole class..." I said shyly and looked at the ground.
"Why not?" Louis asked.
"Cause I don't think it's that good." I replied honestly, still looking at the ground. Louis closed his locker and then slowly brought his hand to my chin, lifting my head up so I could look him in the eyes.
"I bet it's wonderful, okay?" He said giving me a reassuring smile.
"Okay." I said breathlessly. 

We then made our way to first hour.

I spent the rest of my school day working on the song I was writing. It was for Louis obviously. So, I couldn't work on it when he was around me.
Louis had football practice, so I walked home alone again. He said he won't be able to come over tonight, and that's okay with me. It just means that I can finally go out again tonight. Something I haven't done since that night I killed Briana.

This should be fun.
