"Liam, are you even paying attention to me?" Louis huffed, throwing his swimsuits down.

Liam just grunted and glanced over at him. "The red one. It makes your arse look good." He waved a hand absently.

Louis huffed and snatched it up. He went into the bathroom to change. He did a little turn in the mirror and sucked in the little pouch he had. He put his shirt on and threw a beanie over his hair. He went back out and sat on his bed.

"I still can't believe he asked me to go night swimming." He rested his chin on his palm with a dreamy look.

"You need to get laid." Liam scoffed.

"I'm planning to before this trip is over." He winked.

He checked the time on his phone and stood up. "I better get going. It's almost midnight." He clapped his hands together and grabbed his room key and towel before going to the elevators.

He tapped his foot impatiently until he was at the top deck and he scanned the area for Harry. He didn't see him so he walked to the railing and looked out at the black water.

Louis got lost in his thoughts easily and jumped when Harry slipped up beside him. Harry laughed and apologized before resting his forearms on the railing. He was wearing a shirt that had been cut to look like a tank top. Louis took a minute to admire his biceps, only drooling a little bit.

"It's beautiful isn't it?" He smiled, looking out over the ocean. His curls were blowing In the wind and the lights were flitting across his face perfectly.

Not as beautiful as you.

Louis shook his head a bit and nodded. Harry smiled over at him and walked towards the pool. He set his phone, towel, and shirt down on a chair and walked to the edge. "You coming?" He called over his shoulder.

Later. When I'm alone and I remember this. Louis mentally scolded himself and walked beside Harry after taking his shirt off.

Harry surprised him by taking his hand. He didn't lace their fingers or anything but their skin was touching and that was all Louis needed. He could die happy now.

I wonder what else those hands could do. Louis felt like smacking himself in the head. A smaller version of himself danced in his head, whispering dirty things in his ear.

"On three." Harry broke the quiet.

Louis didn't mind. He could listen to Harry's voice all day for the rest of his life. Was it possible to love someone after only a day. It wasn't just the physical attraction now. Louis felt some kind of connection. It was like he had been missing something his entire life and now that he found it he didn't ever want to let it go.

He squeezed Harry's hand and nodded. They counted together and on three they plunged into the deep end. Louis had to let go of his hand to swim to the surface but it was worth it to see Harrys baby tarzan hair. He smiled and pushed it out of his face.

"You need a haircut." He scrunched his nose. He didn't really think that though, he just liked teasing the younger boy.

"I like my hair." Harry stated proudly. He flopped onto his back, sending waves towards Louis. He squeaked and dove under the water. The pool wasn't chlorine so he was able to open his eyes and get a pretty good view of Harry in swim shorts. Of course he had opted for bright yellow ones that only went to his mid thigh.

He resurfaced after the water had calmed and sneakily flipped Harry over. He flailed and pulled Louis under with him, but his plan backfired because he sat on his shoulders to keep him under.

Louis groaned when he stood up anyways, placing his hands on his knees to keep him steady. "I hate you." He pouted.

Harry laughed and sank down a bit so The water lapped at Louis' waist.

Louis tugged at his curls in annoyance and kicked one of his feet, splashing water in his face.

"Brat." Harry slapped his thigh and Louis' eyes widened. He was glad Harry couldn't see the way his cheeks flushed.

"Onward noble steed!" Louis pulled at his hair until he started walking and he fist pumped the air.

"You are so fucking weird." Harry laughed and rolled his eyes fondly.

Louis smacked him on the side of his head and fell backwards into the water.

"Wanna race?" Harry wiggled his eyebrows.

"You're on, Styles." Louis smirked.

They swam to the other end of the pool and lined up, exchanging cocky smirks. Harry counted down from three and then dove under water to swim like a fish to the other side. Louis opted for the breaststroke, but he wasn’t nearly as fast as Harry.

When he made it to the other side he was panting and Harry was laughing. “Did you forget to mention that you’re part fish or something? I bet you’re secretly a merman.” He crossed his arms over his chest with a huff.

“Nope. I’m just better than you.” He teased. “But you shouldn’t feel bad because I basically live on this ship, so I swim a lot.” He chuckles. “But Liam, the lifeguard, always beats me.”

Louis lets his lips turn up into a smile when he sees how happy and proud Harry looks, like he’s just won an olympic medal or something. And Louis wasn’t mad that he lost anymore because it was worth it to see Harry like this. His muscles shining in the underwater pool lights and his dimples and wet curls and green eyes and long eyelashes and just everything about him. Louis was sure he’d never seen someone so beautiful in his entire life and he probably never would again, which is why he decided to swim forward and close the distance between them.

He pressed his lips to Harry’s gently, hoping he wouldn’t be mad or freak out or something, but he didn’t do anything. He just stayed still until Louis pulled away, looking a little hurt.

“You’re only here for a week.” Something told Louis Harry wasn’t speaking directly to him, but more to himself. “I can’t. I’m sorry.” He whispered, this time speaking to Louis.

“Do what? Kiss me?” Louis frowned. “You’ve surely kissed someone before haven't you?”

“I mean get attached.” Harry looked up with sad green eyes. “I can’t get attached to you, because you’re only here for a week and then I’ll probably never see you again.” He sighed and sunk down in the water until just his head was above water.

Louis swam forward again until they were nose to nose. “Then tonight let’s pretend I’ll never leave.” He smiled softly, glancing down at Harry’s lips. Now kiss me you fool.”

He saw Harry’s lips turn up in a smile and he took that as his cue to lean forward and connect their lips once again. He felt warmth spread through his body and he was probably imagining it but whatever, he was going to enjoy the hallucination because the hot dancer on his cruise ship was kissing him and touching his hips with his big hands and he could taste something sweet on his tongue when it pushed into his mouth.
