Masks Off Identities Out

Chapter Ten

Day 1

   "It's almost Thanksgiving, where do you plan on going?" Louis playing with Harry's hair while Harry's head was in Louis lap. "Ehm, I might just stay here for the holidays, I've really got nowhere to go really." Harry said uneasily. "Why don't you come over and meet my family, I'm sure they'd love to meet you." Harry got off Louis lap and went to his fridge to grab a can of sprite. 

    "Lou, that's great that you're offering but I don't want to intrude on your family traditions, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't want a complete stranger going to their house on Thanksgiving." Louis crossed his legs on the couch and patted the spot beside him so Harry could join him. "It's like they already know you Haz. I've already told mum and Lottie, I'm pretty sure they'd love you." Harry ran his fingers through his curls and looked at Louis. "So you've been talking about me, even before we were dating?" A blush crept up on Louis cheeks and he nodded. 

   "Awh Lou! If I had family to brag to you about I would." And in that moment Louis felt guilty, why? He had no idea why. "Y-You have no family?" Louis asked gently. Harry looked down at his hands in his lap. "Uh, yeah. My Dad left us, us as in my mom, my sister and I all by ourselves when I was around three, and then my mum died when I was 17, after her death I closed everyone out including my sister." Louis could tell that Harry was uneasy on this subject so he pulled Harry into a hug and started combing his fingers through Harry's hair. "So you'll join us for Thanksgiving?" Louis asked. 

   "If you insist." 

Day 4

    Louis was knocking on Harry's dorm room door when Harry opened it he was carrying a duffel bag and a folder. "What's the folder for?" Louis pointed at the blue folder in his hands. "Just something." Harry stepped outside and closed his door behind him. "You ready?" Harry nodded his head and grabbed Louis hand placing the folder under his arm. 

    "Louis!" Jay ran up to her son and peppered him with kisses. "Mum, stop." Jay pulled away and looked into her sons eyes. "God Louis, I'm so sorry it's been like 7 months since I last saw you." Louis laughed and pulled out of his mum's grip. "Mum, this is Harry he's my-" 

    "Boyfriend! I've heard so much about you these last months, I've been waiting for you and Louis to get together. I didn't know it would actually happen!" Jay pulled Harry into a warm embrace and gave him a kiss on his cheek. "Hi Ms.Tomlinson." Harry smiled. "That's Jay to you. I'm so glad you could make it to Thanksgiving with us, the girls won't shut up about you Harry, they are dying to meet you." 

   When they arrived to the medium sized house Louis was attacked by 10 different pairs of arms. Okay maybe not 10 but a lot. "Hey girls how've you been?" Louis picked on of the twins up and twirled her around. "We've been good Loubear, why haven't you visited us?" 

   "School is a hassle Daisy, but I sure plan on coming back for Christmas." Daisy and Phoebe were all smiled when they heard about Christmas coming up. "Your birthday Loubear, we can't wait to celebrate it with a big party." Louis laughed and gave each twin a kiss. "Who is that?" Fizzy pointed at Harry who was all dimpled smiling at Louis. "Keep smiling like that and your face is going to get stuck like that." Louis winked at Harry. "Girls this is Harry, he is a very special friend of mine." Louis tone was more directed to the twins since they were so young and had yet to understand. "Like... boyfriend?" Phoebe asked. "Yeah." Fizzy stared at Harry for a while before giving him a hug "welcome to the Tomlinson residence Harry, my name is Felicite but you can call me Fizzy, everyone does." Harry smiled at Fizzy "Fizzy, I'll keep that in mind." 

   After introducing Harry to Phoebe, Daisy, Fizzy, Doris and Ernest he knew that one sister was missing. "Mum where's Lottie." 

   "With her boyfriend, she'll be back later, maybe around 6." Louis laughed a little and then brought Harry upstairs to his room. "Nice room, it's not exactly how I pictured it but it's pretty nice." Harry pulled Louis onto the bed before planting a wet sloppy kiss onto his lips. "And how exactly did you imagine my room? Filled with posters of girls with not even half their clothing on ontop of a car or preferably a motorcycle?" Harry laughed and shook his head. "No silly, I imagined it as more of a childish room. Y'know dinosaurs, cars, and a secret poster of Grease hiding somewhere." Louis slapped Harry's arm for making that kind of reference. "I am not a child Harry Styles, in fact I do not own any kind of objects having to do with Grease." They were interrupted by a laugh that was not theirs coming from Louis door. "I mean besides the poster hanging on the back of your closet door, there's no objects Grease related." Lottie ran over to her big brother and Harry. "Hi you must be Harry, I'm Lottie. Second oldest and you;re not that bad looking, actually scratch that, you're kind of really hot. So Louis if you don't mind me I might take your boyfriend."
