"you built up a world of magic, because your real life was tragic"

'follow me, lou'

a strong hand pulled me deeper into the forest

our laughs ringing together; blending, harmonizing. echoing through the trees

it sounded like the laughs of people in love, i'm sure

'i hate surprises and you know it'

my voice leaking with fondness rather than annoyance

a deep booming laughter sounded as we ventured farther, getting lost in just the idea of each other

'cmon i know you love it'

i shook my head

'well...i know you love meeeee'

he prodded

...twat

'yeah yeah, fine keep going' i grumbled

and so we did

we ran as lovers would

hand in hand

laughing at nothing but the fact that we were together

we must've looked crazy

dodging trees and howling

sprinting as fast as we could

adrenaline and love pumping through our veins

curiosity and adventure luring us into the unknown

but aren't people in love crazy?

isn't love a crazy thing?

we stopped in a clearing among the trees

the early morning sky and countless flowers creating an almost magical feel

the sounds of nature and our harsh breathing could be heard; nothing else

i admired the meadow while catching my breath

which was pointless because as soon as i turned, my breath was sucked away from me again

the reason, of course,

being his everlasting beauty

his hair was stuck to his forehead with sweat

his eyes outshining the deep forest green surrounding us in comparison

they twinkled with youth; along with the stars that still lingered in the sky

his cherry lips so inviting and warm, tugged up in that infamous smirk he always wore

his figure towering over mine in a way that got my heart racing

every nerve in my body was on alert

as he made his way over to me,

his long strides and intense stare closing the gap between us as if he was on a mission

he stood inches away

his fingers traveling up my arm; leaving goosebumps trailing behind

feather light touches that I happily leaned into

never breaking eye contact

he tightened his grip and abruptly pulled me against his chest

i looked up at him through my eyelashes

the feeling in my toes: gone

he leaned in closing the gap in a painfully slow speed

my arms around his waist and his hands on my upper arms

the feeling in my fingers: gone

his lips that i oh so savored

finally ghosted my own

'so so pretty' he whispered; still against my mouth

i shivered at the contact and his words

quite the charmer i have as a boyfriend

boyfriend; what a wonderful, wonderful word

my whole body was alive, on fire

as we whispered the words that came along with many unspoken promises and meanings

and we meant them

'i love you, louis'

'i love you, harry, so mu-'

- - - - - - - - - -

"louis!"

i jolted to attention at my name

of course, i was asleep

"you, um, slipped into louisland again"

groaning, i looked around and recognized my flat and the uni homework sprawled out under me

i hid my face into my arms

"more like harryland" i scoffed

liam shot me a confused glance at the name

"oh yeah I was gonna ask you about that, who's harry? you said his name before i woke you up"

"uh he's this boy i dream about. we're sorta, I mean its nothing.... but we're dating?"

the last part coming out as a question and a nervous laugh followed

liam's eyebrows automatically furrowed at that

"louis, you're imagining you and this harry guy dating?! .... how long has this been going on?"

"everyday for a month"

i rushed out carelessly

not even worrying that i sounded like a freak

liam was a good best friend

anyways right now, all i wanted to do was curl up in a ball and cry

i don't have harry

for fucks sake, i don't have anyone

"is that healthy? you dreaming about a fantasy world where you're dating a random guy??"

liam, of course, worrying over me

i sighed

"i'm not even sure, li"

giving a half-hearted shrug

"maybe im insane"
