Chapter one

Louis pulls his thin jacket over his chest tightly in the winter frost as he walked to school. He could always get a lift from Liam or Zayn but he chose not to as he quite enjoyed the sense of freedom before having to endure eight hours of school. The only thing he really loves about his school was the clothing rule, they where aloud to wear whatever they pleased as long as it wasn't inappropriate or distracting.

Louis wore red tight skinny jeans and a stripy tee shirt that was also quite fitted, with suspenders and white Vans. He wore a white Adidas jacket over the top that he took off when he got to school.

He reached the gates and as always his friends Zayn and Liam where waiting for him, flashing the youngest of the group a smile as they joined him in walking into the building. They get to their lockers that stood next to each other and Louis folds his jacket neatly and grabs his art folder and art supply case.

"Hey Lou, did you see the new FIFA game? It looks good" Zayn asks, leaning up against his locker as girls giggled at him and batted their fake lashes at him, Zayn always falsely flirted with them as Liam and Louis both knew he was in a stable relationship with Perrie Edwards, a pretty girl in the year above them.

"Really? I'll have to check it out, hey are we still going round yours tonight?" Louis asked, timidly, nudging Liam and he nods, his face wide with a bright smile and he hears Zayn clear his throat and turns to see Harry Styles, tall, lanky but muscly body that never failed to make Louis weak at the knees.

Next to him was Niall Horan, a boy that was a head shorter than Harry with bleached hair that was styled in a Quiff and a bright smile that made everyone smile. Harry was explaining some long, detailed math equation to Niall and the shorter boy justed nodded and elbowed Harry in the ribs just before they passed Louis and his friends.

Harry turned to look at Louis before glaring at his friend who grinned and poked his tongue out at him, making Harry chuckle and nudge Niall gently who did the same back, resulting in the taller boy tripping over and crashing into Louis who falls on the floor, Harry on top of the smaller boy.

"Oh my, I'm so sorry" Harry exclaims In his deep, god-like voice. Louis notices their current situation and blushes before Harry stands up and holds his hand out. Louis takes it hesitantly and Harry pulls him up effortlessly.

Louis mumbles a thanks before the bell rings and Louis quickly shuts his locker and picks his supplies up, heading to Art with a skip in his step. Excited to see his friend Danielle who also knew about Louis' major crush on Harry.

He sat in his seat and Danielle flashed him her lopsided grin that told him that she had seen the little scenario back in the corridor play out.

"Hello Louis, tell me, did you have a nice trip today?" She grins, the pun was totally intended and Louis just rolled his eyes as he pulled out the current project they where doing and a HB pencil.

"Very funny, Danny and yes it was quite a nice trip apart from almost dying of embarrassment and resisting the urge to touch Harry' fluffy brown curls" Louis huffed and hears Danielle chuckle before going back to her slightly odd looking portrait of herself.

After Art he had Math, his least favourite subject but he had to stop off at his locker to put his art stuff away and pick up his normal pencil case and Math book. Once he got there he grabbed his math book before hearing shouting from a close corridor and his mind gets the better of him. He hides behind to wall, his eyes peeking over the top to see Harry Styles on the floor, shouting the same thing over and over, his hands covering his ears as Niall tries to calm him down.

Before Louis can stop himself he's standing behind Niall, he pushes him away and grabs Harry's hands, pulling them from his ears and pulls the taller boy into a hug.

"Hush now, go to sleep, I'll be here waiting for you" Louis coos, soothing Harry as the exhaustion of his episode takes over and his eyelids close gently. Louis looks up to see Niall staring at him with shock before giving Louis a small smile and picking up his backpack and mouthing 'see you later' to Louis and walking away, leaving the two boys cuddled up on the floor.

After an hour or so Harry wakes up, yawning and looking up to see big blue eyes staring at him. Louis carded his hands through Harry' curls and smiled at him.

"Hello, sleepy" he murmured softly as if scared any loud noise would scare him off. Harry just yawned again and leaned into the touch that was almost intimate.

"Thank you for helping Niall, I don't think he'd be able to cope if I had an episode at school" Harry said, his voice slightly croaky from shouting so much and he sits up and unzips the front pocket, getting some pills out along with water and a throat sweet.

He takes the pills and sips the water before putting the throat sweet in his mouth, giving Louis a small smile before getting up and holding his hand out for Louis.

Louis takes it and Harry helps him up. "Hang on, your Liam' friend, Louis was it?" He asked, his hand still in Louis', sending tingles all the way up his arm and Louis nods, blushing profoundly.

"Aaah I see, you don't seem freaked out by the situation though?" Harry wonders, raising his eyebrows and Louis shrugs.

"It doesn't bother me" he said, picking his bag up and nodding his goodbye to Harry before beginning to walk away.

"Thank you again" the taller boy called and Louis turned around and smiled at Harry before walking away happily, a skip in his step.
