We Could Happen ~Larry AU~

Chapter 11

If you ever hear Louis say his favorite Holiday is Christmas, he’s lying. It’s obviously Halloween.

He was stood in front of his mirror, messing with his stupid hat that Eleanor was forcing him to wear. He didn’t even get to choose his costume this year. Eleanor had decided it would be cute for them to go as a group costume. And then somehow, she got Harry to join in as well.

So basically, he was dressed as Peter Pan. Eleanor was Wendy, Perrie was Tinkerbell, and the other two were lost boys. It was creative, yes, but Louis was one hundred percent sure tights were manufactured by Satan.

Liam, Zayn, and Danielle had been smart and went as their own little trio. Liam was Batman, Zayn was the Joker, and Danielle was Cat Woman. It was hilarious, though, because Louis could spot Zayn sending glares at Danielle every few minutes.

Louis’s not sure how, but Liam and Danielle had become friends after Homecoming. It probably happened after Liam had decided to come out in front of everyone (and apparently, if you kiss your secret boyfriend in the middle of the gymnasium, you’ll get the approval of everyone in the room). It wasn’t even fair. Liam comes out, and he’s even cooler than before. Louis isn’t even out and people bully him for it. Double standards.

“You look so cute!” Eleanor gushed over Louis’s costume, messing with parts of his hair. She was in Wendy’s signature blue nightgown, with her hair in a matching blue bow.

“You’re cuter.” Louis replied, poking her bow. He turned around, facing Niall and Perrie who were on his bed playing Fruit Ninja and trying to beat the other’s score. “We both have blonde friends.”

“We should use that to our advantage on twin day.” Eleanor said, smiling. She grabbed a piece of paper from Louis’s desk, crumpling it up and chucking it at Perrie’s head. Perrie placed a hand to her head, glaring at Eleanor. She grabbed it, and threw it back. Unfortunately, it accidently aimed for Louis instead.

“Listen Tink, you hitting me with paper isn’t gonna work.” Louis told her, rubbing the spot where the paper had hit him. Niall chuckled, eyes still glued to his phone screen.

Perrie rolled her eyes, switching her focus back to her game and silently cursing herself for getting distracted. Niall snickered, kicking her leg in attempt to distract her even more. She groaned, pushing his foot away.

“Oi, you two! Stop flirting!” Eleanor scolded, snapping her fingers at both blondes. Niall narrowed his eyes at Eleanor, swiping at his screen one more time before finishing his game.

“I believe I won, Pez.” Niall smirked, showing her his phone screen. Perrie scoffed, setting her phone face down on Louis’s bed.

“Whatever.” She muttered, flicking Niall’s animal ears. He was apparently supposed to be a panda bear (even though Louis continuously argued that no, peter did not have a panda lost boy). Eleanor, on the other hand, thought the blond boy looked adorable. “When is Harry gonna get here, we have to start trick or treating soon.”

“I’m shocked he doesn’t have a Halloween party to go to, like the other three.” Eleanor commented, referring to Liam, Zayn, and Danielle. They decided that they were too old for trick or treating and would rather go to a party. Louis decided that they’re stupid and you’re never too old for free candy.

“He should be here soon.” Louis answered. He tugged on his shoes, taking one last glance at himself in the mirror and smiling contently.

A few minutes later, the doorbell rang and Louis immediately knew it was Harry. No one else even attempted to get the door, knowing Louis was going to beat them all downstairs anyways. Louis grabbed his trick or treating bag, rushing downstairs to the door. Everyone else followed after him, but not before giving each other the knowing look they always give when Louis mentions Harry or reacts to Harry.
