Harry started off the day awful. He woke up with one of the worst headaches he's ever felt in his life. On his way to the kitchen to get painkillers he tripped over a random article of clothing on the floor, smacking his face on the tile of his kitchen."Jesus fcking christ!" he yelled, holding his head in his hands, feeling the urge to cry.
He got up and finally got the medicine, quickly gulping down three pills with a glass of water before practically running to the shower, knowing he was most likely late for school already.
He turned the shower on, feeling the warm water hit his body. Sighing deeply, he quickly washed his hair and body before hopping out to dry off."Please God let today be okay..." he mumbled to himself, continuing to get ready for hell, or as others call it, school.

"Niall!" Harry shouted, seeing his blonde friend down the hallway. He was excited to talk to his friend and as gay as this sounds, excited to see his friends step brother.
Niall spun around to see who shouted his name, smiling when he saw Harry jogging towards him, down the hallway."Hey! uhm... where's Louis?" Harry asked his friend, trying to sound as casual as possible.
Well, about a year ago Harry realized he maybe had a little crush on someone. That's fine, his mom thought it was cute he finally was feeling that for someone, Niall thought it was great he was branching out. They all led him to think he was in the clear with her, until they found it was a boy, and when they found out it was his best friend, Niall's, stepbrother... Louis Tomlinson.
He can't help the way he feels, he really wish he didn't have feelings for him, but he's so funny and cute and perfect, Harry thought to himself.
Flashback
It all started a year ago when he first was sleeping over Niall's house and he went to go get himself a glass of water. Harry walked into the kitchen, filling a cup up with cold-ish water and taking s few sips. He heard a small noise, sounding like the floor creaked. He jumped, looking behind hin quickly to see Louis, shirtless and in pj pants. Harry stared obviously, not being able to help it. "Oh! sorry, sorry!" Harry apologised, dropping his cup in the sink and hurrying off back to Niall's room, bis face bright red. He hadn't been able to stop thinking about him, especially not in a normal 'best friends brother' kind of way.
EndHarry's face felt hit as he remembered the day he took interest in Louis. After that all Harry did was stare from afar, timing his classes in school so he could see Louis in the hallway, "casually" sneaking out Niall's room to see if Louis was getting something from the kitchen. Either way, each and every time he saw Louis he would get unbelieveably flustered, not knowing how to help it.
"Okay, try not to be too obvious." Niall teased, which only made Harry roll his eyes.
"Oh, there he is." Niall said, pointing down the hallway at the beautiful boy walking our way. "Louis!" the blonde boy called out. Harry's whole body felt hot, feeling nervous as he watched the boy he liked approach us with a small, cute, smile.
"Hey!" he said, smiling at them.
"Hey." they both said at the same time, even though Harry's was quiet and shy.
"Your hair looks nice today... Did you do something different? A trim?" Louis asked, examining Harry's hair.
It suprised Harry, the sudden interest in him. Yeah, Louis asks him questions but it always just 'Is Niall awake yet?' or 'Did you see a grey hoodie in Niall's room?'
Things that aren't about him."Oh, uhh, yea I got it cut a couple days ago." he said, smiling at him, "thanks" he blushed.
"He was over our house after he got it cut, how didn't you notice?" Niall laughed, poking at Louis.
The truth is, Louis did notice. He always noticed.

"Hey are we hanging out this weekend?" Harry asked, looking over at Niall, while eating lunch.
"I'm coming too." Liam chimed in from next to Niall, Harrg nodded, "Alright I'll make sure we have food" he laughed a bit.
When the school day was over he got home, seeing a note on the table, saying his mom was coming home late so there was oven pizza in the freezer. He shrugged and walked up to his room, kicking off his shoes and slipping off his pants before crawling in bed, ready to be done for the day. He sighed and played over what Louis said to him earlier that day, the compliment on his hair. He smiled softly and tried to think of a not totally gay compliment that he would give the boy tomorrow to return the nice words.
Soon after he thought of one he fell asleep.///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
