You’re so classy Lou.” Harry grinned as they walked up to the place their date was being held.

“Of course.” Louis said, grinning like the cheshire cat.

“I never thought my first date ever would be at an arcade.” Harry said, looking at the sign that just said ‘Arcade’.

“We have to build up to the fancy dates Marcel. Silly boy. Besides they have laser tag.” Louis said excitedly as Harry just shook his head with a grin.

“Such a child.” Harry teased, but gave Louis a side hug. Louis could feel the heat rising to his cheeks and looked down, smiling slightly.

“I am not.” Louis said, pushing Harry slightly. Harry’s eyes crossed as he watched his glasses slip down his nose.

“You made my glasses fall.” Harry pouted, Louis rolled his eyes playfully and fixed them.

“I was hoping you were going to change back to your nerdy look. I have to say I missed it. You were all adorable and blushed a lot, even if I didn’t cause it I still found it adorable in the back of my mind.” Louis said absentmindedly, playing with Harry’s curls. “But I’m glad you didn’t gel your hair back. I love your curls.” Louis said, blushing after he realized he was saying everything out loud.

“T-Thanks.” Harry stuttered, not to mock Louis, but because he wasn’t used to compliments.

“Let’s go.” Louis said, taking Harry’s hand. They walked into the arcade and paid for tokens. Well Louis paid against Harry wishes saying he would pay for his, but of course Louis would have none of it.

“I’m the one taking you on the date, therefore I am paying and there is nothing you can do about it.” Louis said, hitting Harry on the nose with his index finger.

“I can just go buy more.” Harry grumbled making Louis laugh.

“Come on grumpy pants, it’s time to play laser tag.” Louis said and pulled Harry towards the door. They walked through the door to be see 6 other people their age in the room. With an older man.

“Okay there will be 2 teams of 4. Once you get into your teams grab a vest and out the headphones on. Click the button on the gun for a sound and go to either the green or the red door with your team. When red light starts blinking you may enter and starts the game. Good luck.” the man said and exited through a black door.

“Hello, would you guys like to be on my team?” a boy asked, coming up to Louis and Harry.

“Sure, my names Louis and this is Marcel.” Louis said, motioning to Harry with his hand.

“I’m Kyle and this is my boyfriend Alex.” Kyle said motioning to Alex who came up behind him and kissed his cheek.

“You two are gay?” Louis asked and Alex’s face hardened.

“Yes. Do you have a problem with that?” Alex hissed. Louis just smiled and grabbed Harry’s hand. Harry looked down at their lace fingers and blushed, but held Louis’ hand tighter. Alex looked down at their hand and relaxed.

“Not one bit.” Louis said looking up at Harry with a smile.

“No problem at all.” Harry said, looking down at Louis.

“Are you guys dating?” Kyle asked.

“Not yet, but hopefully soon.” Louis said dreamily, then looking back over at them.

“Why not?” Alex asked and Louis looked down ashamed.

“I used to bully him, I need to earn his trust. I only have three dates to do that.” Louis said. Harry looked down at Louis sadly and gave his hand a squeeze.
