Pretty Princess ♡ Larry AU [ SLOW UPDATES ]

Chapter 24

It had been about 10 minutes of Harry trying to get Evan to calm down. It was sort of awkward, due to their history, but Harry has his arms wrapped around Evan while he sobbs into Harry's chest.

Another five minutes pass and Evan finally stopped crying.

Evan lifted his head from Harry's chest and gave him a shy smile. "Sorry I ruined that awesome dress of yours Harry."

Harry patted his shoulders lightly. "It's okay Evan. I can wash it later. Now, you ready to tell me the whole story?"

Evan sniffled and nodded his head. "My baby brother, he's being bullied. It's been going on for a while but he's never said anything. It came to the point where he wanted to end his own life, and it was all becase of some stupid assholes. The thought of losing him was too much, and it got me thinking about how I treat you. I've been such an asshole for no reason and I never want you to feel how my brother felt. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I drove you to such extent." Evan started crying again and Harry hugged him.

"It's okay Evan."

"No its Harry! I've treated you like shit! How can it be okay? I'm exactly like those assholes who almost ended my baby brother's life!"

Harry shook his head and cupped Evan's cheeks, forcing him to look into Harry's green eyes. "Don't say that Evan. Yeah, what you said and did before hurt me a lot, but i didn't really let it affect me. And you're nothing like them, you want to know why?" Evan shook his head. "You're here, apologizing to me, in such a vulnerable way. I admire you for that."

Evan smiled and looked at him. "Thank you Harry" He whispered quietly. He embraced the smaller boy in a hug.

"You have nothing to be thankful for."

Evan let go of him and looked at Harry with a sad smile. Before Harry could even say anything, a pair of lips were on his. Evan pulled back as soon as he noticed Harry not responding.

"I-I'm sorry. I don't know what came over me Harry."

Harry's eyes were wide but he shook his head, still surprised. "I-It's o-okay. But why did you do that? I thought you were straight?"

Evan shook his head and let out a small laugh, "I'm anything but straight. I've been hiding it becase of the guys I hang out with."

"Why?"

"When I first got here, I was alone. I didn't really have anyone to hang out with so when these guys started taking to me I got excited. I just really wanted to fit in you know? Back home I was the weird gay kid, no one wanted to hang out with. Hanging out with those guys made me feel different. Like I wasn't the weird kid anymore. But it doesn't feel right anymore. I have to pretend to be someone I'm not. I hate it becase when I left home I promised I myself I wouldn't be like that. I promised to always be who I truly was and be proud of it, but I've done the opposite. I'm back in the closet, and all for what? For some stupid guys who aren't really my friends. I don't even know why I do this anymore. My family was always okay with me being gay and I never had to hide it, but I let these assholes control me for no reason."

"You don't have to be like that anymore Evan. You need to be happy and proud of who you are. You can't keep hiding who you are for the rest of you're life. You said it yourself, you're family always excepted you. What those assholes think shouldn't matter. Don't torture yourself because of them."

Evan looked at Harry and smiled, he tried leaning again, but Harry put a hand to his chest and stopped him. "Please don't Evan. I have a boyfriend."

Evan's eyes got wide and he gasped. "Oh my, I'm so sorry Harry. I didn't know. I'm swear I thought you were single."

"I'm not single and I'd appreciate if you didn't do that ever again. I really like my boyfriend and I'd like to keep calling him my boyfriend for a really long time."

Evan smiled, "You really like him don't you?" Harry let out a small sigh and nodded his head. "Again I'm really sorry. I promise to never  do that again."

"It's fine."

It got really quite afterwards but Harry broke that silence.

"Evan?" Harry asked and Evan looked at him. "Why did you kiss me?"

Evan blushed and looked down. "I kissed you becase I've had a crush on you since forever." Harry's breath hitched and Evan scratched the back of his neck awkwardly. "I know, I know, it's just when I saw you the first day of class, with that dress, I thought you were the most beautiful person I had ever seen. I wanted to go up to you and talk but as soon as I made a move towards you, my friend Matt stopped me. He said I should stay away from "the freak" of the school." Harry looked down and frowned. "I wanted to defend you Harry, I swear. I've had to deal with homophobic assholes a lot and I just wished I had said something. I'm so sorry."

Harry shook his head and smiled sadly at Evan, "It's okay. I know what it's like hiding because of peer pressure."

Evan sighed and rubbed his eyes. "I swear I won't try anything with you. You have a boyfriend and I don't want to ruin that."

"Thank you. I appreciate it."

"I hope someday we can be friends Harry. I know that everything I said and did hurt you and for that I am truly sorry. I'm willing to wait for your forgiveness. I'll do whatever it takes. I'm done hiding and pretending to be someone I'm not. It's just so sad how I realized this just now."

Harry bumped his shoulder with Evan playfully. "Better late than never." Both of them let out small chuckles. "And as for forgiving you, I'm not quite there yet fully, but I will be someday. Just know that I do wish to be your friend, but only of you ditch those assholes you called friends."

Evan nodded his head and hugged Harry. "I swear I'll ditch them as soon as I get the chance. And thank you so much Harry."

Evan let go and got up, "This conversation has been really amazing but I have to go. I'm supposed to call my mum to check up on my brother."

Harry walked with him to the door and smiled at him. "Bye Evan, I enjoyed our talk as well. Keep me updated on your brother, yeah?"

Evan nodded his head before stepping out of the dorm room and walked away.

Once Harry closed the door he changed out of his outfit and into confmy cloths. He threw himself onto the small bed and let out a sigh.

Evan kisses him and he didn't know whether he was going to tell Louis or not.

His thoughts were interrupted by a ding and he looked at his phone.

From Lou 💞: Hey babe, we still on for tomorrow morning?

To Lou 💞: Yeah, what time are you picking me up?

From Lou 💞: 8 sound good?

To Lou 💞: Yeah. See you tomorrow morning.

From Lou 💞: Sweet dreams and dream with angles, aka me 😉

Harry rolled his eyes at his boyfriend but smiled anyways.

To Lou 💞: Okay, bye Lou. Good night

Harry set the phone in his night stand and lied on the bed. He was nervous for tomorrow becase he was going to tell Louis about the kiss with Evan.

He hoped this wouldn't ruin their relationship.
