Love Isn't That Spooky

Chapter 48

Harrys POV

Ohmygod, ohmygod, ohmygod. This is it. The day we go flat hunting and I'm so nervous but excited. I gripped Louis hand as the estate agent lead us to the first flat we would see today. It was rather basic with shitty cellphone reception so we ditched that one. The next flat was too big, the one after was too small and the second to last flat was so dirty I almost had a heart attack.

Disheartened we sat down on the stairs outside the building and I rested my head on Lou's shoulder. "Why is it so difficult?" I whined into his neck. "Don't worry baby. We've got ages to find the perfect place." He said kissing the top of my head. "Hello boys. There's one last flat to look at." The estate agent cheerfully stated as she came up behind us. We nodded and followed behind her car. The road suddenly became familiar and we were driving through a nice scenery of buildings and lakes until we stopped at a large building overlooking a small lake.

I fell in love with it instantly. The grey cobblestone walls and large windows contrasted perfectly with each other and the lobby was well furnished. Lou and I looked at one another in a knowing way before pressing the elevator button. The flat we were looking at was number 7, the top floor, and it was perfect.

A large living room with wooden floors and a floor to ceiling window greeted us with a kitchen to the right. In the far corner of the living room was a hallway which lead to the bathroom and two bedrooms. The left wall of the living room was mostly taken up by long rows of white shelves and an office. The estate agent soon left us alone to have a proper good look around. "Should we rent it?" I asked taking Lou's smaller hands in my larger ones and looking down into his eyes. "I think we should. But lets just sit down by the window first. The view's incredible." He said guiding me towards the full length window over looking some trees, buildings and a lake in the distance.

"This is a huge step for us Harry. Are you sure you want to go through with it?" He asked lovingly. "Yea I'm sure Lou." I said firmly. I really wanted this place. He nodded just as the agent walked back in. "How are you feeling about the place?" She asked sweetly. We stood up and my face broke out into a grin. "We'd like to rent it out." I said confidently. "Oh, of course. You might want to look over these papers for a few days first." She said. I took them from her and we made small talk until we had returned to our cars. "Just give me a call once you've read the papers and we'll contact the landlord." She happily said before driving off.

I drove the both of us back to the uni and smiled at Louis singing along to the radio. "Oh my god. We're gonna fucking live together!" I randomly said. The idea had finally sunk in and I was over the moon. Louis chuckled at my out burst. "Yea we are. Doesn't that scare you?" He said with a wolfish smile. "No. It excites me." I said with a cheeky wink.

When we got back to Louis dorm Zayn came out of no where and brought the both of us into a hug. We hadn't seen him in a week. "I've missed you so much Zayn!" Louis yelled over our screams. Once we broke apart we helped him unpack and called Liam and Niall over.

While all the lads were messing around Lou and I went out to get drinks. "Do you think we should tell the lads about us moving in together?" I asked while musing over various alcohols. "Nah. Lets wait until we actually get the place." Lou replied putting some Pims into his shopping basket.

Louis POV

One week later and the papers were read and Harry and I had signed the contract agreeing that we would live there for a minimum of 6 months. Harry seemed to be so happy and excited about living together but deep down I was stressing out. What furniture would we use? How do we use a washing machine? Have I waited long enough to get to know Harry? Of course I have.

"Hey Harry?" I asked in the middle of the night. "Yea?" He said rolling over to face me. I pushed a strand of hair out of his face and snuggled into his chest. "I'm kind of worried about moving out. Like are we doing the right thing?" I whispered. "Well technically we have to move in now we've signed the contract but if you don't want to live together anymore that's fine." He said with a hurt tone in his voice. "No, I don't mean it like that! Of course I wanna live with you, I love you for gods sake. I just meant we have literally no furniture and little domestic skills." I said kissing in between his collar bones. "Oh, well-" He said but he was cut off by Zayn getting up and staring at us as though we were insane. "You're moving?!" He yelled confused. Yikes, I thought he was asleep. "Oh yea. Zayn don't freak out or anything but Harry and I are going to live together. We were gonna tell you and the lads tomorrow." I said quickly. "But that's crazy. I, I, I'm really happy for you guys." He said honestly with a smile. "Thanks Zayn." Harry said smiling sadly. It was gonna hurt to let go of Zayn but we'd always be buds.

The rest of the night was spent talking about our new home to Zayn and how much we would miss him. "You know all the furniture from our old apartment is just sitting in storage." He hinted before we fell asleep. I smiled into the dark. Even though we weren't going to live together anymore he still had my back.

The next day, after we broke the news to the lads, we all went out for pizza and a movie. I felt a little sad because I felt like we were kind of leaving the lads behind but they all seemed cheery enough. "You alright Lou?" Liam asked as he hung back to walk with me after the movie. "Yea I just feel like I'm finally growing up and the fact that it doesn't scare me anymore scares me if you know what I mean." I said a little tongue tied. "Don't worry about it. Plus if shit hits the fan we'll always be here for you." He said before patting me on the back.

I dropped the lads off at their houses and Zayn and I returned to our dorm. "So this is it then Tommo. The last night we'll ever live together." He said full of emotion. "Yea. I guess it is." I whispered and lay down next to him on his bed. "We've had a good couple of years Louis. You and I, the two teenage runaways who made it through high school and now university. We've come a long way." He said gazing out the window."I feel so old and it's killing me." I said following his gaze. "I get ya man. If we could only turn back that'd be great but I don't think I'd change anything for the world." He smiled. "Me either." I replied feeling calm. "I'm gonna miss you Tommo." Zayn suddenly said closing his eyes. "Not as much as I'll miss you. You're not my best friend; you're my brother. We've always had each others backs and I don't know what I'll do without you." I quickly said, trying not to get too emotional. "Promise we'll stay friends?" He asked. "Pinky promise."
