Whipped Cream // Larry Stylinson AU

Deux

Harry ordered in Chinese food that night, making a mental note of actually going to the grocery store himself tomorrow. He went back out on his balcony with a blanket to eat his dinner and stare at the lit up tower and the stars he could see. Of course the stars were drowned out by the city lights, but he could see a few and he loved that.

He was still sat out there at 8pm when Louis called again. He let the phone ring 3 times before answering it, not wanting to sound too desperate.

"Hey!" He answered, hiding the excitement in his voice.
"Hi, quick question, what's your name?" Louis of course knew his name from his stalking earlier but Harry couldn't know that.
"Harry Styles." The younger man replied, "Uh, my middle name is Edward" Louis laughed at that thinking it was cute.
"Mines William, I asked so I could save your number"
"William, I like that"
"Yeah? I never have. Edward is cute though!"
"To be honest, I only started liking it after I watched Twilight. I had a thing for Edward Cullen." Harry laughed, admitting something he swore to tell no one.
"You didn't!" Louis gasped, "I've always been team Jacob."
"Jacobs hot and all but the vampire part just had me."
"I do prefer a vampire over a werewolf"
"Yeah! I think everyone does"

The two talked about Twilight for a little longer, both cringing at the reminiscing teenage fandom days but unable to stop. The conversation shifted to work and Harry proudly admitted to finding a job on his second day in Paris. Louis was very interested as to why Harry had moved from his home town and they both bonded over being English lads. The conversation only died down when 11pm hit and they were both tired and had to be up early for work.

"I've got to be up really early in the morning. I really do wish I could talk longer, Harry! Hey, wanna meet for breakfast?"
"Yeah, what time do you normally get there?"
"I get there at 6, but if you wanna get there at 6:30 that's fine?"
"No, I'll be there at 6. Goodnight, Louis"
"Goodnight, Harry"
And with that Harry got up off his balcony carrying everything inside in one go because he wasn't doing two trips. He also managed to close and lock the door with a handful of stuff and was in fact proud of himself. Louis had been on his roof, laying on his outdoor lounge and admiring how many stars he could see being so high up away from all the lights the city had to offer. He wanted to talk to Harry all night, he wasn't sure why, but he did and was gutted to have to end the call. However, he was seeing the lad in the morning and if he didn't get enough sleep he'd look like shit so that was enough to get him up and back down stairs and straight into bed, thanking himself mentally for showering and brushing his teeth before calling Harry.

Louis arrived at the cafe first, early of course. He once again watched Harry pull up on his pink bike and smiled watching him walk in. Today they sat with each other and Louis offered to order and pay the bill, Harry accepted only when Louis promised breakfast again tomorrow but with Harry paying.

They ate and chatted between bites about their plans for the upcoming day. "I've actually got court today. My client is batshit crazy but from the story she told me the defendant shouldn't have a chance." Louis wasn't allowed to speak about the actual case, Harry knew that and didn't ask further questions about it. "I'm at the flower shop until 5pm then I've gotta go grocery shopping" Harry groaned. "I take it you don't like grocery shopping?" Louis laughed, stirring the tea he'd gotten today. "It's not the actual like 'shopping' part, it's the long lines and having to carry my bags up to my apartment" Louis had to agree, "I live on the top floor, I've got a penthouse apartment, I'll show you sometime, the views great!" He didn't brag or anything, and Harry didn't take it that way either. "Yeah, I'd love to see it. Can you see the tower? I have a very clear view and adore watching the sunset over it."
"Yeah, I've got a great view of it" The older man smiled.
