Look After You

Chapter 13

   "Oh...oh! I won! Suck it, Tomlinson!" Harry chanted after kicking the winning goal against Louis' team, waving his arms around in triumph.

   "Bite me, Styles." Louis rolled his eyes, throwing the controller onto the floor before sinking into the back of the couch. It was nice to forget about the move for a few hours, to escape reality in a good game of football.

   "Don't tempt me, Lou." Harry winked over his shoulder as he shut off the Xbox.

   Louis' heart skipped a beat at the comment that was released from the boy's lips. He had to remember how to breathe when Harry asked if he wanted a beer. "Uh, sure." Louis stuttered as Harry walked off into the kitchen, quickly returning with two bottles in hand. "Thanks, mate." Louis popped the cap off and took a large drink of the cold, bitter liquid.

   "I'm gonna miss this." Harry sighed, pressing his lips against the opening of the bottle.

   "I'm gonna miss you." Louis responded instantly, tilting his head back for another drink

   Harry cocked his head and a crooked smile branded those pink lips. The butterflies were released within the younger boys stomach as the beer trickled down his throat. Harry was going to miss Louis. He already did, thinking of not being near him all the time. He was going to miss Louis' random outbursts, his sleep walking, his crazy antics, him crawling into his bed because he had a nightmare. He was going to miss Louis. 

   "We're going to have sleepovers, right Lou?" Harry asked hopefully.

   "Of course, Haz! It'll be like the first time we got put together on X-Factor and we'd always spend weekends at your place!" Louis shrieked, putting the empty brown bottle onto the coffee table.

   "I'd like that." Harry beamed at his best friend, his smile causing his cheeks to ache. 

   "Me too, Haz. Me too." The childish smile that graced Louis' thin lips made a whole new wave of butterflies flap inside of Harry. He was going to miss Louis.
