"Liam, get your arse out of bed, you're wasting daylight!" Louis groaned. He yanked the covers off of Liam.

"Twat." Liam glared.

He got up so Louis strolled into the bathroom triumphantly to change into his swim trunks and to brush his teeth and hair.

He changed quickly and grabbed his wallet, phone, and earphones, stuffing them in his pockets along with his room key. Liam was dressed when he came out but he had to use the restroom so Louis had to wait even longer.

“Finally.” He scoffed when Liam came out. “I’m starving and there is a breakfast buffet calling my name.”

Liam rolled his eyes but followed Louis to the elevator. They went up to the fourth deck and Louis filled his plate up before finding a seat by a window where he could look out over the ocean as he ate. There was no land in sight.

Liam got them both some juice and then he joined Louis at the table.  “So, what are we doing today?” Liam asked around a mouthful of food.

“After breakfast we’re going to go get an appointment at the spa. Mama needs a massage.” Louis wiggled around some with a grin.

“You are so fucking weird.” Liam laughed. “But a massage does sound nice...”

Louis grinned proudly and took another bite of his food. He was almost finished when he spotted a head of curls and a familiar blonde making their way to the buffet. Another lad followed behind them with darker hair pushed up in a quiff.

Curly’s friends were good looking too and that only made him self conscious as they got closer.

“There’s cute dancer boy.” Liam wiggled his eyebrows suggestively. “You should go talk to him.”

“Are you insane?” Louis raised an eyebrow. “I am the king of awkward. I wouldn’t know what to say and then I’d end up saying something incredibly stupid and I’d have to hide from him for the rest of trip.” Louis said exasperatedly.

“That’s a little dramatic, don’t you think? It’s simple. Watch.”

Before he could protest Liam called out Niall’s name and the blonde smiled, leading the pack over to their table. Louis’ face turned bright red as curly’s eyes scanned his face.

“Hey, just wanted to say you guys were great at the show last night. Right Louis?”

Louis swallowed the lump in his throat, mentally reminding himself to be cool. “Yeah, great.” He smiled.

“Thanks, mate.” Curly smiled. “I’m Harry by the way.”

And Louis definitely did not laugh, okay maybe just a little. “Harry? That’s funny because your hair is-.” but Louis was the only one laughing. He cleared his throat and looked down at his lap. “King of awkward.” He muttered under his breath.

“I get that a lot. It was funny the first few times.” Harry shrugged. “Nothing personal.”

“Zayn.” The dark haired one spoke up. He looked like he had been in the sun too long.

“And you already know I’m Niall.” Niall grinned toothily.

“Liam, and Louis.” Liam glanced at Louis and he glared at him.

"So are you coming to the show tonight?" Harry asked, glancing over at Louis specifically.

"Yeah." He nodded. "Do you, um...want your hat back?" Louis asked nervously.

Something about Harry made him feel really insecure and he hated that because he was usually confident and cheeky.

"Nah, you can keep it. Consider it a souvenir." He winked.

Louis nodded and took a bite of eggs to stop from making a fool of himself.

"You two together?" Niall pointed between Louis and Liam.

Liam's eyes widened and Louis choked on his food. Harry rushed over and patted his back until he stopped coughing and brushed Harry away.

“I’ll take that as a no.” Niall chuckled.

“No, definitely not together." Liam blushed. "I’m straight. Can’t say the same for Louis though.” He smirked.

Louis was planning Liam’s funeral in his mind.

"Oh, then you should definitely meet out friend Danielle." Niall grinned. "She's a dancer too."

Liam nodded and scooted over to make room for them to sit down. Niall sat beside him and Harry and Zayn squeezed in beside Louis, causing Harry to be pressed up against him. If he said he didn't like it he would be lying.

"What about you, Louis? Do you have a boyfriend?" Niall nodded towards him.

"No." Louis shook his head. He felt Harrys eyes on him but he refused to meet them.

"What about you Niall?" Liam turned his head.

The blonde looked down with a smile before shyly looking up. "Me and Zayn have been together for a year." He stated proudly.

Zayn reached across the table to lace their fingers together with a fond smile.

"And it has been a great year." Zayn stretched his neck to kiss Niall’s lips and Harry rolled his eyes.

"See what I have to put up with?" He sighed.

"You're just jealous." Zayn shoved his arm lightly.

Harry frowned at him and Louis laughed a little, nudging him.

"So I take it you're single too?" He chuckled.

Harry nodded with an adorable little pout the Louis definitely did not want to kiss away.

The conversation flowed surprisingly easy between the five of them and after they finished eating they all went to the top deck to lay out by the pool.

Louis tried not to stare when Harry took off his shirt but he couldn't help himself. He had an amazing body.

Louis was a little nervous to take off his own shirt. He wasn't fat or anything but he didn't have insane abs or a chiseled back or anything.

He ended up sitting beside Harry, so he sucked in the little pouch of belly he had and rubbed some sunscreen on himself.

Harry asked him to spray his back so Louis took the can and sprayed Harry's back and shoulders then he rubbed it in with his hands so it would even out.

He really shouldn't have enjoyed Harry's warm skin as much as he did. Harry thanked him and then offered to do Louis' back to which he happily accepted.

Liam was on the other side of Louis already laying out with his earphones in and his sunglasses on.

Harry grabbed a peice of cloth from his bag and somehow turned it into a headband to push his hair back. Louis thought it would look ridiculous on anyone else.

Niall had gone to get drinks for Harry, Zayn, and himself and when he came back Louis stared curiously at Harry's pink drink with with a little umbrella. He took a sip and and sighed happily.

"Very manly drink." Louis snorted. No one had to know his favorite drink at the local pub was a strawberry vodka.

Harry rolled his eyes and held the drink out to Louis. "Try it. It's amazing." He smiled.

Louis hesitantly sipped at it, internally fan girling that his lips touched somewhere that Harry's had. They were practically kissing.

He nodded after he swallowed. "It's sweet." He commented. He took another quick sip then gave it back to Harry.

Harry smiled smugly and laced his fingers behind his head. Louis rested his own on his stomach and closed his eyes, letting the warmth of the sun relax him.
