Can I dip? | Larry Stylinson

"So Lou, this is Niall and this is—" Liam motions Harry to spit out his name which he didn't even notice, making Niall nudge him again. Harry gasps, "o-oh-my name is Harry." He says.

Both of the lads don't know that Harry and Louis actually met each other before and it's not a good encounter—for Louis. The boy disturbed him from eating his fries for crying out loud.

Louis just squints his eyes while staring at Harry, attempting to make it off as intimidating but for Harry, it just looked like he needed the loo or something.

Harry just innocently stares at Louis, not actually expecting a conversation between them since their last meeting. Harry isn't really the one to start conversations especially with grown up kids—like Louis.

"Just wait out here, lads. We'll be back in no time." Liam reminds, walking towards the classroom's door with Louis by his side, Louis subtly glancing back at Harry with once again—that weird squinting stare.

That leaves Niall and Harry alone, making Niall bring up a question, "why is that Lewis guy looking at you like that? It's weird." Niall asks, his scrunched his nose.

"I don't know. Maybe he needed to poop like my mummy in McDonald's."

3 minutes of waiting, the two older boys are seen running back to Niall and Harry, this time holding a bag with them. "Here, I'll patch him up. Hold this, Lou." Liam commands, making Louis roll his eyes. He doesn't like taking orders. It's the other way around for him to be quite honest.

"This is gonna sting, Harry but this is for your own good so take a deep breath and—" Harry takes in a sharp breath as he screams, big fat tears falling down his face.

"Uh Harry?"

"He didn't even put anything on it yet. What a turd." Louis whispers under his breath, making Liam hit his arm slightly. Harry looks up to the three boys surrounding him, his big eyes scanning through every single one of them.

"Come on, buddy! You can do it. I'll even give you a lolly when you do it." Liam offers, giving the warmest smile he could ever do to the lad, just so he could feel safe. Harry stares back at him and pulls back the jeans that are covering his bruised knee, automatically meaning he accepted the proposal.

"Okay, nice and easy. Louis, would you mind calming Harry down by petting him?" Liam asks, concentrated on putting on the cleansing substance to Harry's wound while he's wincing repeatedly.

"W-why would I?—okay whatever." Louis could easily disapprove of it and get away with not doing it but he kinda always wanted to touch curly hair. It doesn't mean he likes it though.

Louis pets Harry's curly locks, carding his hands through the strands, untangling some tangled clumps of hair. He could smell something with cherry and honey by just carding his hand through it. It's soft and silky, it feels good to the touch. Once again, it doesn't mean he likes it.

Liam finishes patching Harry up while Niall covers Harry's eyes for him and Louis pets his hair. "All done! Here's a lolly, Harry." Liam fishes a wrapped lolly in his pocket, giving it to the glossy-eyed boy.

Harry gets it and immediately unwraps the lolly and pops it right into his mouth, swirling his tongue repeatedly, tasting the sweet sweet artificial strawberry flavor.

Harry sucks on it as Niall thanks the two boys for him. "Uh-thanks lads-for uh helping my pal. We should be going now. Do you know another way we could slip outta here without any teachers noticing?"

"Yeah, no problem. There's this place. Follow me." Liam starts to walk in a direction, "C'mon Lou."

The four boys walk through a rather bushier area in the other side. Liam removes a patch of leaves and a hole is revealed. Niall and Harry's eyes bulge at the sight. "Woahh, coool." Niall comments.

"We use this to sneak into your place. If you're wondering why some of your toys are gone. Just look for us." Louis smirks. Liam looks at him with a warning stare, once again.

"I guess, this is it, lads. It's almost the end of recess. Come back anytime." He salutes, Louis behind him with his arms crossed.

"Bye! We'll visit again." Niall says, crawling into the hole. Harry waves instead of saying anything, obviously occupied with sucking a lolly. He crawls into the whole while occasionally glancing back at the two lads—or actually, just Louis.
