Servant Boy

Harry sighs, he had reached town and he didn't know where to go. So he sits on a bench and he leans forward putting his hands into his hair. God Louis was so irritating. From the insults he was given and the fact he thinks he can take whatever he want just because of the fact he owns nothing in the house.

He slowly feels wet droplets fall from the sky, he peeks out to look at the bench being sprinkled with them. He sighs and just feels the water getting more and more heavier as the rain progresses. He wanted to find shelter but he had no idea where he could even go. He couldn't go home because he would of been attacked by his stepfather, and if he went into a house of someone he knew he felt like he would be too attacked by questions on why he isn't around anymore.

Suddenly a shadow goes over him and the rain stops hitting him. He takes a second before looking up. He sees a man, probably around his age staring down at him with his umbrella over the two. His eyes chocolate brown and his hair in a messy quiff. "Why are you sitting in the rain?" The man asks with a deep voice. Harry takes a moment before he sighs.

"It's complicated..." Harry said looking forward

"How complicated can something be? Come on my uncle's store is just around the corner and we can talk over cocoa."

Harry sighed and took his offer walking side by side with the man as they walked to the bakery. "So you're the nephew Greg talks highly about?"

"Yes I am, treats me just like a son when my parents were killed in the earthquake a few years ago."

Harry nodded. "My dad was killed in the earthquake too, then my mom died from cancer just a year ago."

The man frowned. "I'm sorry about that. So, I'm Liam by the way, and let me guess you're Harry?"

"What? How do you know?"

"My uncle talks about a boy who always puts a smile on everyone's face." Liam spoke, making Harry blush. "And you know, I think it's true though. I think you've got a great smile, even though I've not seen it yet."

Harry didn't understand that he was being so nice to him after only knowing them in such a short time. He watched as Liam made the cocoa and hand him the cup with a few cookies before he sat down next to him.

"So what brings you into town?" Harry asked, knowing Liam went to school a few towns over and it wasn't close to break.

"I decided to take the semester off to help out my uncle, with his old age he needs someone to carry the heavy sacks into the bakery as long with helping out with other things around the shop."

Harry can't help to feel a sense of guilt wash through him. He would of been able to help but he's kept busy enough at home. "I used to help your uncle...but after my mother's death I had to do more at home..." He speaks with a sigh and rests his hand on his head.

Liam looks to him as he sips his hot cocoa. "Yeah he would talk about how much you were willing to help." He says with a kind smile and it goes silent for a second before Liam clears his throat. "You going to tell me why you were out in the rain?" He asked

Harry looks to him and he sighs. "My stepbrother is a little frustrating..." He speaks running a hand through his messy and lengthy long hair. Liam rises an eyebrow and watches him for a second.

"Frustrating enough to make you sit out in the rain..." He states. Harry frowns for a bit before he nods with a shrug. His gaze goes elsewhere hoping he didn't have to bring much more of the topic. Liam sighs slightly and wants to know more about the boy. "So...you going to this ball the prince is hosting?" He speaks.
