Only In My Fantasies ((Larry Stylinson))

Chapter 17

"I don't want to ever wake up Louis" I murmured as I traced Louis' skin with the tip of my fingers. It's already night time and fantasy Niall and fantasy Liam have gone home but Louis and I remained on the beach, just staring at the moon and listening to the waves.

"But you have to" Louis said sadly.

"But I don’t want to. Can't I sleep forever?" I sighed as I leaned on his chest.

Suddenly, Louis shot up, causing me to slide off his body. I looked at him in confusion while he looked at me with disappointment. "Do you know what that means Harry?"

"What?"

"Do you honestly know what you mean by wanting to sleep forever?" Louis asked, now he looks troubled and disappointed. When I didn't answer, he sighed. "Harry, you have to die if you want to sleep forever"

"Oh" was all I said.

We sat in quite an awkward silence and I found myself thinking, am I willing to fie just for Louis? Does that mean when I die, Louis will still be here? Will I have my fantasy land even when I'm 70 and married with kids or something?

Instead of asking any of these questions, I just laced my fingers between Louis' and smiled at him. "Let's just cherish this moment. Yeah?"

Louis finally smiled. "Yeah"

He lied back down and I resumed my position on his chest. "Do you....wanna go somewhere?" I asked.

"What do you have in mind?" Louis hummed.

I stood up and pulled him along with me. I pulled out bodies closer together then closed my eyes. When I opened them, we were in a masquerade ball.

"Seriously Harry?" Louis chuckled. Louis was wearing a nice white tuxedo and a black mask adorned with dark blue gems. I looked at my outfit and saw that I was wearing something similar to Louis except that my suit was dark grey and I had a white mask on with red and orange gems and rhinestones. 

I smiled at Louis. "I've always wanted to try going to a masquerade ball"

I looked around and my jaw almost dropped to the ground. I knew that in order to have a masquerade ball, you need a fancy posh place but I didn't know it had to be THIS fancy. And we weren't even inside the ballroom yet!

I looked around us, there were multiple men and women dressed up in the same way we are except that the ladies are wearing gowns. They're all walking towards this huge chocolate brown door which I guess is the ballroom. The door was open and inviting yet I suddenly felt nervous.

I looked around and instantly felt out of place. I can't believe I actually thought of going to a mall.

Louis tugged me towards the ballroom but I pulled back. Louis turned around to look at me. "What's wrong?" 

"Maybe this is a bad idea" I admitted.

Louis shook his head and gripped my arm. "Nonsense, if you want to go to a ball. Then we should go! It's your dream anyway! You can add Liam and Niall again if you want!" Louis offered.

I nodded but instead of conjuring up Niall and Liam, I just allowed Louis to pull me towards the ballroom. 

There was a man who was waiting outside the door, greeting the guests and letting them in. As we passed by, he smiled at us kindly before nodding his head, signaling that we could go in.

I smiled at the old man and dragged Louis inside the fancy ballroom.

The walls were adorned with paintings and there was a huge crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling which was painted with clouds, if they hadn’t put the chandelier, I would have thought that there was no roof. There also happens to be a mini stage at the very back of the room.
