Crazy Little Thing Called Love

Food and Friendships Or How Harry Should Smile More

Hi everyone, some cute Clarry and Laire (or Clouis, I'm still unsure about the ship name) moments here for you, and some Nilly fluff as well, which you might enjoy. Please feel free to leave any comments underneath and I hope you all have a fantastic weekend! All the love, Summer xxx

Niall arrived only a few minutes after we did and shared a very long kiss with Lily, while we others whistled in the background. In response, he dipped her and she lifted up her leg, acting as if they were doing a show for us. We laughed and they let go of each other. Niall walked over to the living room where we were already comfortably sitting and gave us all a hug. "Hello my best friend!" He pulled me up into a hug and gave me a tight squeeze. I laughed and hugged him back. "Hi, Nialler." He let go off me and proceeded to hug Louis who had been sitting next to me. 

I walked over to the kitchen where Harry was preparing some snacks. "Need any help?" He looked up and smiled at me. "No thank you, I think I'm good, but thanks for the offer anyway, love." I looked around in his kitchen. "I like your house. It's very bright and classy, but super cosy at the same time." I complemented him. "Are all of the photos on the walls yours?" He nodded. "They are. I love taking photos. And I'm glad you like my house." We smiled at each other for a few seconds, until I finally looked away and let my eyes wander over the photos on the walls.

"You are very talented, Harry. Maybe this is another career path for you if the singing shouldn't work out." I winked at him and he chuckled, a faint blush on his cheeks. "Thanks, Claire. And actually, I am kind of auditioning for a movie right now." My head snapped around to fast that I nearly cracked my neck. "You WHAT?" I squealed. Harry shushed me with an amused grin on his face. "Shhh, I don't want anyone to know in case it doesn't work out."

I looked at him. He looked kind of insecure, something I didn't think I'd ever see on Harry Styles because he always looked so put together and confident. Without thinking I walked over to him and gave him a hug. "I bet you'd be an amazing actor and I am so proud of you for just trying something completely new. I don't know if I had the guts to do that." I pulled away a little bit and saw that he was smiling down at me, his hands still on my hips.

"You're amazing, you know that right?" he told me and I blushed and hit my face in his chest. I shook my head and felt his chest vibrate from laughter. "You are adorable when you blush." That made me blush even more. I quickly pulled away and tried to hide my now red face from him. "We should get these things over to the living room." I gestured towards the mostly healthy snacks and drinks that he had prepared and he nodded and walked over to where I was standing. We both reached out for a bowl with kale crisps at the same time and our hands touched. Embarrassed, I quickly pulled my hand back and Harry chuckled next to me, but took the bowl and a couple of other things and carried them over to the living room. I took the rest of the plates and drinks and followed him, trying to get my heart beat back to normal.

When I entered the living room, everyone else had already spread themselves out across the sofa, leaving only one space between Harry and Louis. Lily and Niall were cuddling on one end of the massive sofa, which was more like a lounger, and looked super adorable and happy. I put everything I had been carrying on the small table in front of the sofa and tried not to stumble over Harry's long legs which he had stretched out in front of him. Hesitantly, I sat down between the two of them and grabbed a handful of crisps.

"Do we know what movie we are watching?" I asked the others who shook their heads. "No, but Lily just suggested Sherlock Holmes. It's supposed to be really good." Louis explained to me and I nodded. "I'd be down for that." After the rest of us agreed, Harry opened Netflix on his TV and flipped through the movies until he had found it.

The film started and everyone got comfortable. Harry sat back and put his arm on the headrest behind me, while Louis placed one of his hands on my thigh. I shot Lily a helpless look, but she only shrugged and then grinned and wiggled her eyebrows. I shot her a glare, but my attention was soon captured by the movie, which had a lot more tension than I had expected it. In a particularly exciting scene I gripped Louis arm really tightly and he chuckled and took my hand into his and gave it a light squeeze. "You do know that it's just a movie, right?" he asked me with an amused grin and I glared up at him. "Of course I do, but I don't know if he is really dead now or not."

Next to me Harry tried to hold back a laugh, but was failing miserably. "Oh shut up Styles, as if you are super relaxed here." He shot me an innocent look. "Don't pretend  I didn't notice how you jumped when the whole thing exploded a few minutes ago." The others laughed and Harry pouted. "Traitor." he said into my ear and I patted his leg. "Don't frown, Harry, someone could fall in love with your smile." Lily burst out laughing and the boys shot both of us questioning looks. "Great Teen Wolf quote, C! I'm proud of you." I grinned smugly and Harry leaned down to whisper something into my ear. "I will need to smile a lot more then." I blushed and Louis shot us a suspicious look, but didn't say anything.

The movie ended and I really needed to pee. I let go of Louis' hand and got up. "Um, could anyone maybe show me where the bathroom is?" I asked and blushed a bit. Harry was about to get up, but Louis jumped to his feet and offered me his hand. "I'll lead the way, Miss Winters." he said with a very posh accent. I giggled, and happily took his hand and lead me down the hallway towards the bathroom. "Thanks, Lou. I'll, um, I'll be out in a minute." Louis smirked. "I'll wait for you then." He let go of my hand and casually leaned against the wall next to the bathroom door, looking like some god, with his high cheekbones, the long eyelashes and his carefully styled hair. I rolled my eyes and closed the door behind me.

When I opened the door two minutes later, he was still leaning against the wall, grinning down at me. "That was more than one minute, Claire." he told me with a twinkle in his eyes. I rolled my eyes again and stuck my tongue out at him. "Be careful, love, I could think of a number of better things you could do with that tongue of yours." He winked at me and I blushed furiously. "Lou!" I hit his chest, but he caught my hand and kept it there. He pulled me closer to him and gently stroked my cheek with his free hand.

We starred at each other for a few seconds, then he leaned in and his lips met mine. We kissed for a couple of seconds, until he pulled away, grinning like a Cheshire cat. "I've been wanting to do this since last night." I grinned up at him and leaned back in. We continued kissing until we heard Niall's voice coming from the living room. "Oi, did you fall into the loo or something like that?" We pulled away and Louis send a glare towards the living room. "I think we should better get back to the others." I said with a chuckle and he smiled down at me. "You are probably right, love, come on." He took my hand and we quickly walked down the hallway and back into the living room.

The others eyed us curiously and could obviously count two and two together. "Did you enjoy your trip to the bathroom, Claire?" Niall teased me and I blushed a bit. "Your lips look a bit swollen, did you have an allergic reaction to something and Louis helped you?" Lily hit him, but couldn't help but giggle a bit. Harry stayed surprisingly quiet, but he returned my smile when I looked over to him, however it didn't quite reach his eyes.

"Alright, I'm starving. How about we order some food?" Niall suggested and everyone agreed. We ended up ordering Indian take away and just ordered a whole lot of different dishes to share between the five of us. We ended up sitting on the floor around the couch table, happily munching on our food and drinking some wine Harry had pulled out. I leaned back and rubbed my belly. "Aaaaah, life is good. Great company, amazing food, what else can you want in life?" The others laughed at me and Harry raised his glass. "To food and friendships!" We followed his example and clinked our glasses together. "To food and friendships!"
