Liam, Zayn, Troye, Harry and Niall all sat in Zayn's living room discussing, what they had called, 'project: Louis'. Simple, but effective

"I think that you should just come clean" Niall stated, looking between the four of them. "He might not take it lightly, but he should at least know the truth"

Harry swallowed. "I didn't want any of it to happen"

"We'll tell him that" Zayn promised

Harry shook his head. "He'll still blame me"

"I could just say that it was my idea" Troye cut in. "I don't know him, so he can hate me all he wants" he added with a shrug

"That's not true, you guys kiss in second grade" Niall muttered

"What?" Harry snapped, raising a threatening brow at Troye

Troye held his hands up in defence. "Only gay kids in school, was bound to happen"

"Anyways..." Liam interrupted before Harry was able to pounce on Troye. "Even if you did that, it would still be lying to him," he said. "If we're going to tell him the truth, we might as well tell him the whole truth"

"The whole truth" Zayn repeated, eyeing Harry

Harry swallowed, glancing at Niall and then back to Zayn. "We can't tell him... everything"

Niall frowned, looking between them. "What?" he asked "What's the 'whole truth'?"

Liam coughed awkwardly, looking at Harry

"I'm not telling him!" Harry exclaimed, looking at Niall. "He'll tell Louis!"

"What are you hiding from him?" Niall questioned. "Did you hurt him?"

"What? No!" Harry argued

Zayn pulled a face. "It was... nevermind..." trailed off

Niall looked towards Liam. "What happened?"

Liam shook his head. "Not my story to tell"

Niall turned to Troye

"Don't look at me!" Troye said defensively. "I don't know what they're talking about"

"Zayn," Niall pushed

The dark-haired boy turned to Harry with a brow raised. "I mean, he should know"

Harry's nose twitched as he looked at Niall. "You can't tell Louis"

Niall narrowed his eyes at Harry. "Depends-"

"No," Harry said sharply. "You can't tell him, simple as that"

Niall's eyes flickered to Zayn, then back to Harry. "Tell me," he pressed

"You have to swear-"

"They kissed!" Liam blurted

"Liam!" Harry snapped

Niall's eyes widened. "What?!" he exclaimed. "Louis didn't- he would've told me!"

"The plot thickens..." Troye muttered

Zayn shook his head. "Louis doesn't...remember"

"What do you mean he doesn't remember?" Niall asked, he turned to Harry with a threatening glare. "What did you do to him?"
