Mood: Something Great by One Direction

Louis was woken by Eleanor jumping on top of him screaming happy birthday. Louis groaned, pushing her off him. She fell off the bed with a yelp.

"Louis!" she screamed from the floor.

"Love you." he mumbles, sitting up. She rolls her eyes and stands up. She smiles and leaves the room only to come back with a small cake. It was barely enough to feed two people. She had managed to squeeze two number candles on the top.

Twenty-one.

He groaned and lied down. He hated getting older.

"Happy birthday!" She lit the candles and pushed the cake to Louis. She sang the song that Louis wished he could erase from his mind and made a silent wish.

He blew out the candles and smiled.

"What did you wish for?" she asks and Louis' smile widens.

"You know I can't tell you."

"Just this once. Tell me! Please! I bet I know. I bet you wished for Harry." she says and of course she's right. Louis blushed and looked away. Eleanor smiled cheekily and put the cake on the bedside table before dusting herself off.

"Speaking of your wish, um, I have another present for you. It's in the other room." She says walking slowly out of the room.

"You didn't have to get me anything else, love." Louis calls. He stood up from his bed and stretched. He was about to slip on a shirt and some sweats when he heard two pairs of steps walking towards his door.

☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆

Harry was sitting in the living room waiting for Eleanor to come back. He looked around at the small flat, the tree lighting up the entire room. The tree was small compared to the ones he's bought the past few years.

Eleanor came back and smiled. He had called Louis' phone last night and Eleanor had answered instead. He was going to ask Louis if he could come on Christmas Eve and El had told him it was his birthday so why not surprise him?

"Okay come on." She whispered, motioning for him to follow her. He smiled and stood up following her through the small corridor to Louis' room. Harry was suddenly nervous. He bit at his thumbnail as Eleanor opened the door and moved the side. Harry walked in and instantly turned bright red.

Louis stood there, in just his boxers, his back facing him.

"Eleanor, I already said--" he turned around and yelped, slipping on his feet and falling to the floor.

Eleanor stood back, giggling furiously. Harry ran towards him, helping him up.

"Are you okay? I'm sorry, I shouldn't have just--I should've knocked--"

"I-It's fine. I-I just...can you give me a second? I need to..." he looked down and, oh. Harry coughed awkwardly and nodded.

"O-Of course." His face was as bright as a tomato as he turned around, walking out, looking down. Eleanor followed him, laughing. He made his way back to the living room, covering his face with his palms.

"That was so embarrassing." Harry moaned and he could hear Eleanor's light laugh coming from the kitchen.

"Would you like some tea?" she asks and Harry replies with a yes. A few minutes pass before Louis walks into the living room, not daring to look at Harry in the eyes. He walks right past him and just as El comes back into the living room, he grabs her forearm and drags her back into the kitchen. Harry couldn't really hear their conversation but he heard Louis yell out Eleanor's name in annoyance. Harry shifted awkwardly, picking up one of the two presents he got for Louis. He didn't really know what he liked so he had just gone with his instinct.

A few minutes passed and they came back, Louis' cheeks red.

"Hi. S-Sorry about earlier...I um, you kind of surprised me." he looked down, his face flushing a darker red.

"I'm sorry too." Harry coughed, standing up, "Um, I got you something." He hands Louis the wrapped present. Louis bit his thumb and smiled shyly.

"You didn't have to get me anything." He explained, taking the box hesitantly. Harry brushed it off.

"I bought something for Eleanor too. But she has to wait until tomorrow to open it." Eleanor, crossed her arms and smiled. Louis took a seat on the couch across from Harry and tore the wrapping, slowly. Louis had to admit, his hands were sweaty and shaking, and it wasn't from the thought of what could be in the box. It mainly had to do with how stupidly perfect Harry looked sitting in his small couch wearing that stupid sheer colorful shirt that probably cost him more than Louis' rent and picking up the chipped tea cup that Louis broke when he first heard about him and Taylor.

He tossed the wrapping aside and opened the box. Inside was a perfectly folded lime green Adidas jumper. Louis pulled it out and his smile widened.

Harry loved seeing the beautiful smile that he had. Louis showed the sweater to Eleanor and she clapped her hands, smiling.

"This is so nice. Thank you, Harry." Louis says and surprises both boys by throwing his arms around his neck, hugging him tightly. Harry let out a gasp before wrapping his arms around his small waist, humming in content. He could literally stay here forever.

"Just have babies already." Eleanor hissed covering her eyes. Louis pulled away his red cheeks making an appearance again.

"El." Louis hated the fact that she was so upfront about everything. But Harry was beaming.

"You know, I always wanted kids..." he said awkwardly. Eleanor's eyes widened.

"Even as young as you are?" Harry looks at Louis with a sort of admiration that can't be put into words. He takes a deep breath before smiling at the small boy who was smiling right back.

"Yeah."
