Merman In The Water - Larry Stylinson AU Merman!Louis

Chapter 20

[S/N] Hello once again, audience! It's Sophie, who is computerless and will be for a bit. However! I stole, I mean borrowed, my brother's laptop to write this. Because we love you guys! ♥

Everyone jumped at the sound of the crash and the quick sounds of footsteps coming closer. Louis instinctively curled into Harry for protection as Liam came around the corner.

"Excuse me?" Liam asked in a bit of a fatherly manner.

"Um-" Harry started.

"Don't even try to lie to us either," Zayn interrupted. "Because I've got a fairly good idea."

"Louis and I um... Spilled juice on each other on accident?" Harry tried.

"Try again."

"You guys did... stuff together didn't you?" Niall almost shrieked.

Louis' cheeks flushed a burning red and his mouth opened but no words out. Harry just looked down to his lap, not agreeing or disagreeing with Niall's statement.

"You did, didn't you?"

"I'm allowed to do things with Louis if we both want to," Harry said to Liam.

"You've know each other for less than a week!"

"So? I'm old enough to make my own choices."

"Are you sure about that because the choice you made seems like a pretty stupid one."

"We didn't have sex. I didn't even see his cock!"

"Oh my God," Niall muttered.

"That's still not appropriate for knowing each other for less than a week."

"Just because you and Zayn didn't do anything for the first few months doesn't mean we can't. It's not my fault you two took a few years to realize you were in love with each other."

"Harry-"

"No, Liam. Stop acting like my parent. You're my best friend. Not my dad."

With that statement, Harry grabbed Louis' hand and pulled him toward the door. Louis stumbled a bit but quickly regained his footing as Harry practically dragged him outside. Silence fell over the two as they walked down the beach hand in hand. Once they were pretty far down the beach, Harry let out a frustrated sigh, pulling them both down into the sand with Louis sprawled onto his chest.

"Harry, I'm sorry," Louis mumbled.

Harry looked shocked as he looked up at the merprince, "Why are you sorry?"

"I made you fight with your best friend."

"Oh, Lou. That had nothing to do with you," Harry said as he wrapped his arms around the smaller boy. "That was Liam being Liam."

"Promise it wasn't my fault?"

"I promise," Harry released him to press a kiss to his lips.

Louis nuzzled his face against Harry's shoulder and laid like that for several moments as Harry gently rubbed his back.

"What are we going to do today?" Louis mumbled against his shirt.

Harry pursed his lips in thought, and Louis nonchalantly used it as chance to steal a kiss from the human boy before Harry smiled, "Whatever you feel like doing..."

"Well I never thought I'd say this," Louis said slowly. "But I think I miss the water. Not the living in it thing! But just swimming. I love swimming."

"Then let's go swimming," Harry replied, and at Louis' uneasy look, he chuckled. "I won't get far from you or the edge of the rocks until you think I'm a decent enough swimmer."
