"Lou, do you mind if I ask you someth'n?",Harry softly said, hand moving lazily along the letters littering Louis' collarbones.
"Hmmm?", Louis placed his hand lower on Harry's back, pushing against it a bit to angle his head to better meet his blue with green.
"Do you ever, kind of, uhmm..well.." , Harry fumbled with his words. Now the boy was a bit physically unsteady in his footing and his everyday activities, but when it came to talking to Louis, he performed it as easy as though he were breathing.
"C'mon now, out with it"
"Do you ever just, do you ever just think about the future? I mean, like, our future, with me. Well, I guess what I'm trying to say is, do you kinda think about what we will be like, like down the road and things?", the curly haired boy let out in a flush.
The tracing had stopped by then, and an open palmed, calm hand lay in its place.
"Yeah. Yeah, of course I do. I always do, Harry." Louis said matter-of-factly, which in turn, rather surprised Harry.
"Really, Lou? You do?", he angled his head up a bit off Louis' chest, resting his chin down inches from Louis'.
"Haz, babe, of course", Louis tapped the small of Harry's back twice, signaling he was about to move, and brung himself up in the sitting position.
"Here, lay on my lap", Louis told him, petting his thigh twice. Harry settled himself, staring straight into his loves eyes.
"Harry.." Louis looked to the wall, gathering his words in a way that would make him sound like a love sick 13 year old girl.
Though he felt like it, not even Harry needed to know.
"Okay, I think about having a future with you all the time. And like, not for the sake of just imagining what we could be like years from now, but I do it 'cos like, well, I can't really think of my future without you in it. Like, i don't think about marriage and that sort of thing, though it is something I know I want.", Louis quickly added after he saw Harry's eyes flash the tinniest bit. He ran his fingers through the boys curls, quietly humming, just looking at his beautiful, beautiful boy before he continued.
" Like, i don't really think about that because I think about how it would be waking up with you in the mornings, and just kind of watching you before you woke up. I kind of just think about spending those mornings doing nothing. Just sitting in bed and talking, or not. But just being. With you. Like, for me that'd be enough."
Lou doesn't glance down at Harry, even for a moment, because no. He just heard a little sniffle, and he really wants to finish telling all of this to Harry. All of it. And looking at Harry right now would stop that, so no, Louis' not doing it.
He clears his throat and goes on.
" I just want to see how you are. Like, I know how you are because I mean, we're together and all that good stuff.", Louis hears a faint chuckle and feels the tickle of Harry's hair moving on his thigh.
" But I mean, I wanna see you, in this room, playing a lot of random chords on your guitar. And I know you like to be alone to do that, so I wanna stand quietly in the doorway. And just listen. I wanna hear how you make those random chords a melody. I wanna see you work in a way that no one gets to see."
He allows himself a quick look at Harry because he feels the faintest speckle of water on his thigh.
And there it is.
Louis sees puffy,red rimmed eyes, a red- tipped nose, and a stupid, obnoxious, beautiful, dopey smile played on Harry's lips.
All looking up towards him.
"Really Lou?", Harry speaks for the first time in what seems like hours, and his voice is so quiet. Like the moment is that delicate, because it is.
"Yeah, yes Harry, it's all that I want", and Louis doesn't realise it, but his voice dropped down to a whisper too.
"And...and all we have to do, is just wait 'till the future comes along, and we get that. You get that, Lou."
And Harry sounds so hopefull, and so happy about things that haven't even happened yet, but Louis knows it's because Harry knows that they will.
"Yeah, that's all we have to do Harry. And we both get so much."
Do you ever just look at somebody and think " I love you "? And all they could be doing is sleeping, reading a book, laughing, smiling, or speaking about something they love. But in that moment. Those little moments, to you, they're so beautiful.
