Guess Who? (Larry AU)

Chapter 2

Harry P.O.V.-

The game had ended about twenty minutes ago, but I had told Louis I would wait for him to get changed. Niall had gotten a phone call halfway through the event and said it was “urgent”. Anxiously, I waited alone in the empty stands for Louis. Finally he appeared, his hair matted to his forehead with sweat.

“Hey Harry!” he waved at me and I smiled back. Self-consciously, I moved the brown curls out of my eyes. Louis sat down next to me in black football shorts, a plain white tee, and his blue team jacket. He threw his football at me as he sat on the bench. “So what did ya think of the game?”

“It was fun. You were bloody brilliant!” I complimented. Louis blushed (he blushed?!”)

“I’m not that great… What am I saying? Yes I am!” he joked. We both started laughing like idiots.

“So Harry... how have I never noticed your existence before? I mean I think I would remember a charmer like you!”

Now it was my turn to blush. “Oh I don’t know. I guess I’m just really quiet. We probably don’t even major in the same studies. Besides you look older than me.”

“Well I’m in my third year, and since you’re sharing a room with Niall I’m guessing you’re a first year, huh?” I just nod in agreement.

“Besides, I’m home most of the time so it isn’t likely you would’ve seen me on campus.”

“Well you should come around more often. You’re fun to talk to mate.” Louis paused for a minute. “Can I tell you something?”

“Sure?’ I guessed nervously.

“I’m having a nice time. So uh… where’s your girlfriend?” he asked.

“I don’t have one,” I said as I fidgeted with my hands. I hated talking about relationships of any kind, since I didn’t have any except the one with my mum.

“Me either,” he replied in a comforting tone. I turned to face him, his blue eyes still shined like they did yesterday. I let my eyes wander over his frame. He had broad shoulders and a small waist, a well sculpted face and a very nice bum.

“Harry?” a voice whispered. I snapped out of my thoughts and looked up to see Louis a mere three inches from my face. “You looked lost in thought. What were you thinking about?” My face felt really hot like I was burning up.

“I-I uh… well I mean… it was nothing…” I stumble over my words while Louis chuckles to himself. I can smell him he’s so close. He smells like peppermint and spices and it makes me shudder inside for god knows what reason.

“Were you… were you thinking about this…” he trailed off as he started to lean towards me. What?! What was happening?! What was he doing?! Was he going to… to kiss me!? And was I… letting him? A sudden sensation began to boil within me. One that I was all too familiar with. No, no, no, nononononono! This can’t be happening! Not here, not now! Too late…

“Get the fuck away from me!”

Louis P.O.V. –

I was going to do it. I was going to kiss him, and he was letting me. Our lips were mere centimeters apart when the screaming started.

“Get the fuck away from me!” he shouted at me. I leaped away from Harry as he scrambled to stand up. His whole demeanor changed in that moment. His eyes narrowed, eyebrows furrowed, and mouth turned into a grimace.

“Ha- Harry, I’m sorry I didn’t…” I stuttered, completely shocked by his reaction. He spat on the ground and wiped his mouth off.

“Don’t ever touch me again! Got it, you little homo?”
