Masks Off Identities Out

Chapter Nine

    Louis was in the library with his head stuck in another book. "Louis Tomlinson, if I'm not mistaken." Louis looked up from his book and saw the familiar face of Nick Grimshaw. "You are not mistaken." Louis mumbled. Nick decided to invite himself into Louis presence by taking the seat right in front of Louis. "So, you and Styles?" 

    "What about it?" Louis asked. 

    "Dating?"

    "Friends." Louis replied sternly seeming uninterested in Nick. "Gay?" Nick asked. "Since the 10th grade, why?" Louis closed his book and stared at Nick. "Same, Styles is bi, or pan...no clue honestly." Louis let out a sigh and looked down at his hands. "You don't really care either, listen Nick, I don't know what you're trying to get at but it'd be appreciated by myself and the others if you would just leave us alone. The past is the past, you're back in school. Let it go." Louis grabbed his bag and got up. "Zayn was one of us you know. He broke the code. Now we're getting him back." Nick stood up and grabbed Louis by the waist and pulled him into a forceful kiss. Louis tried so hard to pull away but stopped trying once he realized he wasn't doing anything but making himself tired. Nick pulled away from Louis and walked out of the library.

     "He talked to me today." Louis said to Niall and Liam. "Who did? Harry?" Niall asked. "Uhm no, Nick. He kissed me." The room fell silent, Liam and Niall both exchanged looks and stared at Louis. "Stay away from him." They warned. "He followed me into the library. Well not exactly followed but joined me I guess is the term. Then he pulled me by the waist and kissed me" Liam ran his fingers through his hair obviously stressed and not knowing what to do. "We have to tell Harry." Liam  whispered. "No! That's why I told you guys, I didn't want Harry to know, he's just going to flip!" Louis was now trying so hard to pin both boys to the ground but he was to weak that Niall managed to slide out and run towards the door. As soon as Niall got to the door the door opened and there stood Zayn. "Run to Harry-Get to Harry!" Niall panted. "What-Why?" Zayn looked startled. Louis was still on the ground on top of Liam pinning him to the ground begging Liam to stop. "What is going on in here?!" Zayn yelled above the yelling and screaming and babbling. "Just get out of my way Zayn we need Harry!" Niall tried pushing Zayn. "Louis get off of me!" Liam yelled trying not to hurt Louis while struggling to get out. "Will someone tell me what is going on!?" Zayn yelled once more. 

    "Nick kissed me okay?!" Louis yelled and with that everyone was silent and Liam finally escaped from under Louis. All three boys made a bee-line for Harry's room. Louis followed running after them. They were all pounding on Harry's door by the time Louis reached them. Louis passed by them and went straight to his and Zayn's room. He grabbed his wallet and closed the door behind him. Louis started walking towards the courtyard until he was stopped by Eleanor. "Heard what happened? How'd Harry take it?" 

    "Why the fuck is it all about Harry!? Why should he fucking care! So what, Nick kissed me?! What does that have to do with Harry or anyone else!" Louis steamed off and looked at Eleanor. "I mean, Harry does like you if it isn't obvious. Nick kissing you was a big thing on Nick's part, he shouldn't have done it, especially at a time like this." Eleanor explained. "This is fucking impossible, Harry Styles, he can get any girl he wants.-"

   "I don't want to hear it Louis, he likes you. Let it be." By the time they both fell silent it was night time and they were still in the courtyard. "Maybe I should go check if Nick is still at a pulse, I'll catch you later Louis." Eleanor grabbed her beer and left Louis on the bench. Louis got up and decided to check if everyone was cooled down. 

    Louis entered his room and saw no one. He hurried into the shower and quickly got dressed and hopped into bed. "Louis fucking wake up it's only 8:00!" Zayn yelled into his ear. "What do you want Zayn?" Louis grumbled from underneath the sheets. "It's not what I want, it's what Harry wants, and right now he wants you in his room and you better go before he rips Nick's head off." Louis peeked out from under his sheets and looked at Zayn, he looked like hell, his hair was poking out in different directions and his eyes were bloodshot. "You look terrible." Louis mentioned while getting out of bed. "Thanks for pointing that out Donny, it really helps." Zayn dragged Louis by the arm and they entered Harry's room. 

    "What the fuck Louis?! Did you seriously you could just ignore me and not even mention this to me?" Harry yelled. "Seriously Harry, it was just a kiss." Louis crossed his arms and put his weight onto one leg. "Just. A. Kiss. A kiss from Nick Grimshaw! How can you not tell me?!" Harry was fuming by this time. "I couldn't tell you because I knew you would react like this, which I don't even know why. Why do you care if I kissed him or not, and should I remind you that I didn't kiss him. He kissed me." Harry's next movement came unexpectedly. He pulled Louis by the arm and pulled him into a kiss. A passionate kiss, unlike Nick's Louis actually kissed back, Louis actually enjoyed this kiss. Louis wrapped his arms around Harry's neck and tiptoed. When they pulled away the other boys were just standing there awkwardly. "It was just a kiss Louis, but you didn't kiss me I kissed you." Harry whispered and left the room. 

    Louis ran out into the hallway and yelled out Harry's name. "Don't you dare walk out on me Harry Styles! Or else you will be doing the exact same thing Nick did to me and you will just be another kiss to me. I will tell someone that I didn't kiss you, you kissed me. I will tell someone it didn't mean anything to me, I don't want to tell people that but I will because you are another Nick Grim-" Louis was cut off by another kiss from Harry. "What am I again Louis Tomlinson?" Louis looked up at Harry and swallowed whatever was in his throat. "You're a dramatic, overprotective, obsessed man." Harry pecked Louis lips and leaned his forehead against Louis' "But I'm your dramatic, overprotective obsessed man." Harry whispered. 

    "Are you really?" 

    "Only if you'll have me Lou, only if you'll take me." Louis wrapped his arms around Louis neck and nodded his head. "I'll have you." 

And that is the story of how Louis Tomlinson and Harry Styles started dating.
