Couldn't Thank You Enough- boyxboy

Chapter 5

Harry and Louis walked down the street, there was this awkward silence surrounding them, but Harry did not mind it. It was the first time in the last twenty four hours that he was not getting an urge to kill himself and he was feeling sort of lighter as well.

Louis cleared his throat making an effort to erase the tension. "So let me only start the conversation." Louis said cheerily.

Harry rolled his eye, "Of course." Harry said hiding the smirk on his face.

"Harry, are you always this angry or today is some special occasion?" Louis asked almost curiously and Harry smirk faded away and started walking a little faster trying to avoid that question.

Louis ran a little trying to keep up the pace. "Hey, Mr. Long legs slow down. Respect the people relatively shorter than you." Louis said huffing and held to Harry's wrist getting him to slow down as Louis panted, catching his breath.

Harry chuckled a little and Louis gave him a look. "What do you find so funny? Care to Share?" Louis said.

" 'Relatively shorter than you?' Are you serious? Louis you are small." Harry said sniggering.

"Excuse me Mister, but I am 5ft. 9 inches which is definitely not considered as small." Louis retorted.

Harry did a fake expression of shock, "You definitely are not." Harry said his hands on his hip.

"Oh I most definitely am." Louis said mimicking the same pose as Harry and Harry started laughing now. It kind of felt foreign to him as Harry did not remember actually laughing since a long time. Louis looked at him, a smile etched on his face, almost like a fond smile.

"You look good like this. You should laugh more often." Louis said and making Harry's laughter come to an abrupt end.

"How can you say that, you haven't known me for me than a day?" Harry says.

"Well sometimes a day is enough to know a person." Louis said as they approached a rundown brothel, "Let's stay the night in the motel. It's really late now and it's really unsafe to travel now. We can resume our journey tomorrow early morning." Louis added on before Harry could respond to the previous statement.

Harry scrunched up his nose at the sight of the building, "I don't think we should stay here."

"Come on it's just for a night. It is just for few hours." Louis presses on.

"But this is not even a motel" Harry argues.

'Hotel Blue Diamond' read the sign.

"It's just for a few hours. Besides I need a proper bed to rest." Louis says stretching his limbs. Harry just nodded walking inside as Louis followed him to the reception.

"I need a room for a night." Harry said as the receptionist checked out Louis. The receptionist was an aged man, grey haired wearing a pink floral shirt and skin tight black paints. His eyes bulged out of his sockets when Louis bent down to pick up a flyer. Harry cleared his throat trying to gain the attention of the man who looked back at Harry, a smirk plastered on his face.

"You will take the room by hours or day." The man enquired.

"Didn't I say I need a room for a night?" Harry said annoyance clear in his voice.

"No we'll take a room on hours." Louis butted in and Harry internally punched himself.

"Louis please, let me talk." Harry said.

"I see how great you are managing." Louis said and turned to the receptionist. "Listen mister, we will take a room by hours." Louis said and the receptionist chuckled.

"How many hours?" The receptionist asked smugly.

"Four hours?" Louis asked facing Harry now and Harry just shook his head in frustration. "Okay so on a safe side, five?" Louis asked and Harry couldn't hide the amusement. Clearly Louis can be so naïve and oblivious at times. "Come on now, five hours is more than enough." Louis said in a light squeal.

Harry just rolled his hours facing the receptionist now. "Five hours." He says removing the card from his wallet. The receptionist smirks suggestively as he passes on the keys, and Louis takes the key walking in the room. Harry while takes back his card after the payment.

"Where did you find him?" The receptionist asks.

"On the bus." Harry says fighting back a smirk.

"Wow." He exclaims and Harry walks ways. He enters the room locking it as he steps inside. The room was small; a bed in the middle and the lighting was dull. There were holes in the ceiling and spider webs in the corners. Louis was sitting in the corner, his leg clenched to his chest. Harry blushed looking at him.

"You know you are really crazy." Harry said smiling.

Louis looked at him, "You know I may seem all warm and welcoming, but fyi I know Karate." He said as he straightened his posture.

Harry looked at him in confusion, "What do mean...Oh like you'll karate me if I tried to rape you" He said.

"I mean... Of course I will. I may look small but don't even try to underestimate me." Louis replied confidently.

"Don't worry, I will not try to rape you." Harry assured him.

"Oh I know you won't even if you wanted to." Louis said smugly.

"But I don't even want to." Harry shot back, still smiling.

"Oh you wouldn't dare to." Louis said.

"And why does it look like you are persuading me to rape you?" Harry asked raising his eye brow at him.

"I am not. I am just giving you fair warning." Louis said fidgeting in his seat.

"Okay okay." Harry said his hands up in defense. "I get it now, and I won't rape you." Harry said.

"Anyways, it wouldn't have happened. I am committed and non cheating types." Louis said.

"Oh hello, for your information, even I am a one woman man." Harry said as he removed his wallet and showed a picture of a girl. Louis approached him, snatching the photo and inspecting it.

"She seems so pretty. You are a lucky man." Louis said smiling at the picture.

Harry removed the photo and threw it on the bedside table, "No I am not a lucky man." He said, his head drooped low and his fingers massaging his head.

"I get it. She dumped you." Louis said and covered his mouth; Louis always said things without thinking it through.

"Life has dumped me." Harry said sinking down on the bed.

"Hey don't get all philosophical on me." Louis said taking a seat beside Harry. "Tell you what, this girl dumped you and you shouldn't be crying over her. Just take that picture and flush it out of your life." Louis said and stood up like he has something revolutionary.

"No I am not going to do that." Harry said, his head in his hands now clearly frustrated.

"But come on, you need to this." Louis said trying to pull Harry up by his wrist. "Take this photo, burn it and flush it down. I am telling you, you will feel hella better." Louis said handing him the photo and a matchbox from the drawer. "Do it. Flush her out of your life. You will feel really awesome." Louis said pushing him to the bathroom.

Harry lit the match stick and brought it the corner of the photo as the photo started burning. He walked to the bathroom and threw the photo in the toilet and flushed it as he constantly heard Louis chanting 'Do it' from behind him.

"Feeling better?" Louis asked as Harry walked outside the bathroom.

"You know what, after doing this crazy thing, I am actually feeling better. It's like I am a thousand pounds lighter now." Harry said beaming now.

"I told you." Louis said patting his back and walking towards the bed and sitting on it folding his legs. "Anyways there are better girls waiting for you outside." Louis said and now was checking out Harry, "Harry you are actually quite hot. If I wasn't like planning on marrying Zayn, I would have totally fallen for you." Louis says smirking and Harry ruffled his curls, looking down and trying hard to control his blush.
