Color Outside The Lines (l.s)

Chapter One

Louis was walking down the road and the rain was pounding the umbrella over his head, running in streams down the waterproof canvas before pouring off the sides onto the pavement below. Coming upon a bus stop, Louis notices a guy sitting on the bench in the pouring rain, he was soaked to the bone, his long hair falling limply around his face as he waited for the bus. Louis hurried up and stood over the man, shielding him from the rain for the most part, earning a small smiles for him

"Thank you" he says and louis nods

"Anytime mate, its only the nice thing to do" He says and the man nods

"Im Harry" he says holding out his hand

"M'Louis" Louis answers grasping the Harry's hand and shaking it.

"Where are you off to now?" Harry asks and louis laughs

"Was just going to go out grocery shopping, pick up a few things i needed" Louis says and Harry nods.

"How about i take you out to get a coffee?" Harry asks cheekily, dull grey eyes turning to louis, sparkling "We can wait out this rain" He adds and louis laughs

"I'd love to" Louis says Harry stands both of them walking down the street to the nearby Pizzeria, an old run down thing that serves its purpose well. They both go inside, Louis letting harry enter first because he didn't have an umbrella before going in himself. He follows harry to a table near the window, where the rain was cascading down over the backwards Pizzeria sticker that spanned most of the window. A waiter comes up to them, smiling at the pair.

"What'll it be today?" He asks and Louis scans the menu before deciding

"Ill have a piece of Pizza, cheese and pepperoni, and a Yorkshire tea please" He says smiling and closing the menu, placing it on the table

"Ill have the same" Harry decides, putting his menu down on top of Louis.

"So how old are you louis?" Harry asks

"24, yourself?" Louis says, returning the question

"22" harry says "Do you remember what your favourite colour was?" He returns and louis sighs

"I used to love green..." Louis says

"No way! My eyes are green, unless they changed...." harry says "Anyway's my favourite colours blue"

"My eyes are bright blue, unless as you said, they changed" Louis said with a chuckle as the waiter bring over their drinks and Louis brings his steaming mug of tea to his lips

"So Louis" Harry says "Can i safely assume this is our first date" Louis chokes on his tea, coughing and sputtering while Harry reaches across the table and pats Louis back as he coughs.

"Jesus" he says raspily, clearing his throat

"Im sorry" Harry said handing louis a napkin. He wipes his mouth with it before speaking

"No, no just wasn't expecting it is all" Louis says. Then they focus on their food, chatting and just getting to know each other. Smiling and eating while Harry dripped all over the place. They chatted for hours until someone walks up to them and clears their throat

"Um, Sirs?" She asked "We're closing now, so I'm going to have to politely ask you to leave now" says smiling and then Louis gets a good look out the window

"Jeez what time is it?" louis asked and harry pulled out his phone

"Um 10:30" harry says and louis' eyes go wide

"Holy shit we've been here a while" Louis says turning to the girl standing awkwardly next to them "Im sorry, yeah we'll go now, sorry for the trouble" He says and the girl nods
