twenty-three

harry needs a few minutes and then his brain cells work again. he gulps and watches louis dumping the last splinters in the bin.

"meow."

"oh no, louis! don't." harry says it faster than he can think.

louis looks up innocently. there is a sinister smile beneath that expression but harry can't see it.

louis's inner self jumps around with glee and giggles.

"will you... will you help me with the dish? can you bring it to the table?" harry's voice quivers and louis furrows his brows.

misunderstanding is the word for this situation. maybe louis can clean up a glass but he won't carry anything to the table.

he's a kitten. a white and black kitten.

"just... go... crawl, what ever... to liam and niall, yeah? be nice and talk." harry ruffles through his hair and sighs. already exhausted with the boy on the white floor.

louis nods cutely and crawls out of the kitchen while wiggling his ass.

harry is fucked.

literally fucked.

-

it couldn't be more awkward and unfortunate. it couldn't be more weird.

all harry wanted was to hang out with his two best friends while ignoring the man he likes to get over this stupid little crush.

all he wanted was niall being mean because the casserole is a total tragedy.

all harry styles wanted was for louis to be quiet and shy, while he bantered with niall and liam sat next to niall telling him to shut up about harry's cooking.

that's all.

was that to hard for everyone? didn't they get the memo?

because now they are sitting at the table, quietly munching on the misery harry called a casserole.

niall watches louis and him with big eyes. like he is waiting for something.

liam's face is redder than niall's skin after a sunburn and harry has a half hard cock while screaming internally at himself to not look at louis.

because louis eats like a cat human. literally half the time he eats normally but then he dips in his fingers in the dish and licks at them to get it off.

he looks stupidly cute while doing so and totally innocent and oblivious to what he did to everyone. especially harry.

"So... what's about louis's school, harry? did you find one you both like?"

"oh, louis has to like it not me. it's his school." harry is glad liam wants to talk after minutes of awkward silence.

"so you found one?"

"yeah, it's nice. the principal is nice and he was very..." harry trails off.

"nice?" niall mocks his deep voice and raises an eyebrow.

liam shoots niall a glare but the irish one just laughs.

even louis smiles.

"so you doing this bdsm thing with him, harold?"

harry's face gets redder than liam, if that's possible. he laughs awkwardly. "no, niall. louis just likes to wear cat ears. that has nothing to do with me."

louis stops eating and smirks at him.

harry was right: the innocent kitten is a facade.

yes, there are times when louis is in his headspace and he really is a kitten and then he maybe is totally innocent. but tonight it isn't like that.

louis knows exactly what he is doing to harry. he knows about the twitching problem in harry's pants and about niall's lustful looks. he knows that liam being red in the face means he is aroused and embarrassed at the same time.

(niall once told him about liam having sex. he said: "every time we are sexual, liam behaves like a virgin.")

louis giggles.

"oh, harry. i think your pet sure thinks a bit differently about this."

"why are you like this, niall. why do i even like you." liam sighs in defeat and eats more of the tragedy on his plate.

harry coughs and shrugs. he's not up to banters right now and all he wants is for liam and niall to leave.

and for louis to be his sub.

but that will never happen, right?

or was this the plan? to get harry confronted about this at the dinner table so they could have a serious adult talk about their relationship?

is that why louis dressed up like a toy boy?

is this his plan? to get harry to realize he is not ashamed of him or their relationship - what ever this is?

harry furrows his brows and thinks. he doesn't notice that louis starts to talk now. he doesn't notice that just now louis tells liam all about the school and about how he ordered a kitten guitar. a guitar with kittens on it.

and how harry doesn't seem to listen anyway so he can tell them this little secret.

even liam seems joyful now and even though the casserole really is the devil himself, they eat it and talk.

a normal dinner with friends.

louis stops with the licking thing and behaves like a human being again. he leaves the ears and tail on because he really loves them.

harry is alone in these moments. he blocked everyone out. all the voices and actions. everything he does is to sit, eat and think about louis being so awfully obvious.

does louis like him? is it taking advantage of someone if they begin a kind of bdsm like relationship with each other?

a sexual one?

will harry get to have sex with louis? maybe even call him his submissive? or boyfriend?

****

will he?????

will he?????

what do you thinkkkkk

(one last update soon and then i'll edit all this for my ao3 account where you can read this masterpiece of randomness as well, lol.)

and no the story isn't over yet. o.O
