fanboy ➶ larry [COMPLETED]

Twenty-Eight

Please have a moment of silence for the lives lost in Paris. And the earthquake in Japan. And basically anywhere where lives were lost in a horrible and terrifying way yesterday on Friday, November 13th.

Mood: idk lol

The next day Louis sat on his couch, Eleanor and Harry on either side of him watching as he sadly hovered his mouse over the 'delete my account' button on his laptop.

He was beyond upset. He and Eleanor had over 30,000 followers on their account and they're sitting here, ready to throw it all away. Eleanor had tears in her eyes and she sniffled when Louis clicked the button.

A series of questions followed, Louis answered them and within minutes the last of a huge part of his life was gone. He didn't even give his followers a warning. They won't know what happened.

Louis let out a whimper, before shutting his laptop and curling into Eleanor's side.

"'m sad." He mumbles, hugging his best friend tightly. She nods and hugs him back. Harry sits by Louis, rubbing his thigh soothingly.

They sit like that for a few minutes, none of them talking. Finally, Louis speaks up.

"I--uh--have to go to work soon." Louis sniffles, getting up. He couldn't really explain what he was feeling. It's like he lost a piece of himself. He's had that account for years and now it's gone.

He makes his way to his room, grabbing his work clothes and heading to the shower.

When he's out, Harry is sitting on his bed. He was staring at Louis, a sad smile on his lips.

"I'm sorry." He says and Louis just shrugs.

"I think it was time to delete it anyway." He knows it's a lie. But it's the only lie he can think of. Harry shakes his head and motions for Louis to come over. The smaller lad sighs but trudges to Harry. The taller boy grips his hips, holding onto him tightly.

"Don't you dare lie to me. I see you, Lou. It's okay to cry. Just...let it out please." Harry whispers, looking up at him through his lashes that seemed to be curled perfectly. Louis let a tear fall and he moved to wipe it away but Harry stopped him.

"Princess, please, I know this is hard for you. I can see what those accounts meant for you and El. It's okay to feel sad. I totally understand." Louis lost the small amount of control he had. He collapsed against Harry, crying softly, holding onto him as if he was a lifeline.

He hated crying. It showed weakness. After he left his parents home he swore to never cry in front of anyone but Eleanor again. But, this felt good. He needed this, God, he needed this.

Harry sat there, letting Louis soak through his t shirt and hold onto him.

After a few minutes, Louis pulled away, sniffling loudly. Harry stared at him. Even when he was crying he was beautiful. His blue eyes shone from the tears. His cheeks were red and his lips were bitten and chapped. He was so beautiful. He didn't deserve to cry.

"Thanks." Louis whispers, almost inaudible. Harry smiles at him before kissing him quickly.

"Love you, okay?" He murmurs against his lips.

"I love you too." Louis mumbles, kissing him and pulling away. He turns around and wipes his face, trying to rid himself of his tears. He took a few deep breaths, before squeezing Harry's hand.

"Hey...I'll drive you to work. Then maybe after we can go get something to eat? It's my last day before I go to America. Sound good?" Harry asks and Louis nods, chewing on his lip. They stand up, Louis glances at his reflection one last time before making his way out of the flat. He gives Eleanor a bone crushing hug and follows Harry out.

They get into Harry's Range Rover and head to Louis' job.

****

The moment Harry pulled up, Louis' face fell. He didn't wan to leave him. Even if it was only for a few hours. He knew his co-workers and such would know about his friendship with Harry and really, today he didn't want any attention.

Harry reached over the console, squeezed his hand and smiled softly.

"I'll come pick you up. Just call me." Louis nods and steps out of the car before muttering a quick 'I love you'. He watches as Harry drives away, eventually making his way through the doors to the cinemas.

Everyone turns to look at him. Jane from the front counter glares at him. David from the snacks looks at him with curious eyes. Suddenly, Louis wishes he could disappear. He wishes he could curl up into a ball and just go away. He sighs and makes his way to clock in. His boss stares at him. He walks away before Louis can say anything.

One of his co-workers, Ryan, walks up to him.

"So, you got yourself a celebrity boyfriend now?" He says, crossing his arms. He was always so straightforward.

"Uh--no. He's just a friend. I um--actually seeing someone else right now. She's uh--really--yeah--nice." Louis stutters and mentally face palms. Everyone here knows he's gay--he's been open about his preference--so this whole beard thing is gonna be a lot harder than it seems.

"I thought you were gay?" Ryan asks.

"I--I don't know. I was just confused. I have a g-girlfriend." He stammers. Ryan raises an eyebrow at him before shrugging.

"That's great, mate. But seriously, since when did you become friends with the Harry Styles?" For once, Louis is grateful that he doesn't tell everyone about his obsession with him. He shrugs nonchalantly.

"I--" They're boss comes around and cuts them off.

"Get to work." He says before making his way back into his office. Louis takes the chance to leave. He grabs a broom and a dustpan, making his way into one of the theaters. As he walks, he notices Ryan telling the others about his new girlfriend.

Okay, this might be easier than he thought.
