Louis awoke enveloped in the warm embrace of Harry. "My big spoon." he whispered and smiled. Harry groaned as Louis slowly and carefully removed Harry's arms from around him and headed up stairs. Zayn left a note on the island in the kitchen. "Gone to the studio until 4. I'll get groceries on the way back and we can go to the fair if you want. -Zayn"

Louis went over to the stove and put the kettle on to boil for tea. Harry came up the stairs groggily.

"Good morning." Harry said as he yawned. "My head hurts."

"Well I wonder why?" Louis said sarcastically.

Harry picked up the note as the kettle started whistling. Louis took it off the heat and opened the tea cabinet.

"Let me." Harry said, seeing as Louis was too short to reach almost anything in the house. "Jasmine or English Breakfast Tea?"

"Jasmine."

"I knew it." Harry smirked.

"They why'd you ask." Louis said as he giggled. Louis' phone started to ring but he quickly turned it off. Harry looked at him with a confused face. "Wrong number." Louis said and he gave a half hearted smile.

"It's nice just being able to hang out with you as friends-" Louis gave Harry a funny look, "or, more than friends. If that's what you want."

There was a long silence.

"I think-" Louis paused, "I know that's what I want," he responded, "with you."

Harry looked down as he blushed and smiled for real in what felt like ages, and for a second everything was perfect. Louis forgot about Liam and what they had done in two months. He forgot about the way Liam looked at him in the mornings and smiled through his grogginess. He forgot the way Liam drove when he was frustrated, but still genuinely happy. He forgot the way Liam tried to make him happy no matter what. He just remembered Harry and Harry's smile and Harry's laugh. He remembered the way Harry looked on the first day they met at the X Factor and he instantly fell in love with his short curly hair and his cute button nose and he remembered how much he loved this boy and how much he missed him.

"So how's your solo career going so far?" Louis asked.

"Well," Harry responded, "I'm still trying to find a tour manager and possibly friends to come with me-"

"I could come." Louis interrupted. "I mean, only if you want me to."

"No, no. That'd be great, Lou." Harry said and he smiled again. "How's yours going?"

"Oh..." Louis said, "Its just kind of- okay." I don't have any labels that want me so I'm kind of lost."

Harry's heart broke. The one thing Louis wanted to do with his life was taken away from him. "The band never should've broken up." He thought to himself. "I'm sure my label would want you. They're pretty open to new clients and they're actually looking for someone right now." Harry said excitedly.

"That's great. Will you give them my information? I already have a demo ready." Louis replied.

"Oh, sure." Harry responded.

The front door unlocked and opened. "I'm home." Zayn yelled.

"HI!" Harry and Louis yelled in unison. They laughed together.

"I have groceries and it's 5:30 so I'll get started on dinner and if you want to help you know where to find me." Zayn said. Zayn went upstairs.

Louis' phone started to buzz.

"Aren't you going to get that?" Harry asked.

"No. It can wait." Louis responded.

"Lou, this has been happening a lot lately. You've been jumpy whenever your phone rang and you don't pick it up. What's wrong?"
