The next morning Harry woke up exactly at 9am. He rolled out of bed and walked sleepily into his bathroom. Stripped off his clothing and took a long warm shower. Raspberry scented shampoo filling the atmosphere that consisted of Harry's bathroom. Harry stepped out of the shower wrapped a towel around his waist and walked into his room once again. Harry opened the sliding door of his closet and took out his uniform along with socks and boxers. Harry changed into his uniform and put on his grey Converse and tied them loosely. He walked down his wooden set of stairs into his kitchen and made himself a quick meal -yogurt and some coffee- Harry grabbed a flowercrown that was on his dining table and put it on -luckily it matched his work uniform- and with that he stepped out of his flat and into his Mustang.
Harry parked his red Mustang in front of the small bakery he called work. He pulled over and turned off the car's engine, opened the door and stepped outside closing it on his way. Harry walked into the cute little bakery into the room that read 'Employees Only' in a cursive handwriting He checked in and put on his customized own apron with his name at the top left corner. At that moment his best mate, Liam, decided to greet him. "Morning Harry" Liam smiled at his friend -Liam is a very friendly person, it'd take a lot to get him to hate you- "Mornin' Li" Harry smiled a dimpled grin back at Liam. "What'd you do yesterday?" Liam questions blindly looking through a cabinet full of various different icing color "Oh you know, tend the garden, do some grocery shopping.....met someone" Harry mumbled that last part he didn't want Liam to find out about Louis just yet.
He knows Liam would tell him to not get close to Louis because he's a punk and what not. But there was another side of harry bursting to tell Liam about Louis, He just didn't know how Liam himself would take it. And of course Liam didn't let that last part slip, He looked over at Harry who was currently reaching up for a bag of fresh flour "what was that last part Harry?" .
"Oh uhm...I met someone..." Harry mumbled again "yes...I know, who?" Harry was a bit nervous on telling Liam the actual truth. Then again it wasn't like Louis was some type of monster, he is exactly like everybody else y'know except for that he has ink and piercings all over his body part. "Well...my new neighbor.." Harry explained it wasn't exactly a lie, Louis is his new neighbor that isn't a lie for sure. "Oh you got a new neighbor? Do they live in that house where that blond bloke used to live?" Liam walked over to a cabinet to get an icing mixer for the cupcakes him and Harry we're making. "Yes exactly that one and Li it's a guy" Harry nodded setting everything up "That's nice, what does he look like then?" Liam grabbed a metal medium sized bowl and placed it in front of Harry.
This was exactly what Harry had been dreading - he was a bit excited even though he didn't want to admit it- "W-well...he has light brown hair, Blue-grey eyes, a-and....he has piercings and tattoos...." Harry trailed off unsure of what Liam's response would be. Liam looked at Harry, grabbed both of his should and said "Be careful, now I know misjudging him but I don't want you getting yourself in trouble or the hospital okay?" He hugged Harry as Harry mumbled an 'okay'

"Anyways guys....Lou how's the new place?" Niall asked sitting back at the front desk as one of their clients walked out of the tattoo parlor shop with a ding! as the door closed again. "It's lovely! the furniture is amazing Niall i'm in love with the place already!" Louis beamed walking next to where Niall was sitting. "That's good to hear!" Niall chuckled "Enjoying the neighbors and everything?" this was exactly what Louis was waiting for Niall to ask him. This was the chance he got to ask about Harry and if Niall knew anything about the lad. "Actually Ni I was wondering if you knew about Harry?.." Louis bit his lower lip slightly as he finished that sentence he wasn't sure of what Niall was about to tell him.
"Oh yes! I remember Harry how is he?" Niall exclaimed happily "Well he's alright, he has a beautiful garden" Louis complimented "Ah yes that garden..he's very quiet isn't he" Niall walked over to one of the back rooms to clean the inked needles Louis of course following behind him. "Yeah but he doesn't seem like it..I mean I wouldn't know because we didn't talk" Niall looked over at Louis and raised an eye brow at him "How do you know his name and you didn't talk to him?" Niall questioned "oh uh well we talked through papers...it's hard to explain okay?" He chuckled awkwardly "Oh well that's...nice? I've talked to Harry before barely though" Niall mumbled as he picked up the inked needles and put them on a counter somewhere nearby.
"He seems nice and friendly" Louis smiled helping Niall out with whatever he was doing because Louis wasn't sure himself what he was actually doing. "He is" Niall agreed grabbing a wet towel from somewhere. The rest of the day went by smoothly customers came and went in both shops -the parlor and the bakery- through the whole day Louis was on Harry's mind and Harry was on Louis'. It seemed as if both boys wouldn't stop thinking about each other. Both had no idea how they'd become acquaintances that's if even if they we're that. Neither of them we're sure about that and just let that slide.
It was nearly sunset as both boys left their jobs and got in their parked cars. Drove home, got inside of their houses, changed clothes maybe showered or so and did their usual hobbies. Louis made dinner -hoping he wouldn't burn it- as Harry went outside to tend the massive garden. Harry finishes plucking the weeds and watering his flowers mean while Louis is done with his meal that he -thankfully- didn't burn. And the rest of the evening was spent like that Harry now making his dinner and Louis practicing a bit of electric guitar.
