Harry

I'm slowly getting closer to Louis. He has been hanging around a lot more lately actually giving me the opportunity to get to know him. It's weird though, because he went from never being here to practically living in my house.

I mean I'm not complaining, but I keep expecting there to be a catch. I'm waiting for the moment that he gets up and leaves for a month or so. He has been so flaky in the past and I can't shake the feeling that he's going to fall back into his old patterns.

Even so I'm going to take advantage of him being here. I want to take him around and go somewhere other than my house.

Seriously he has been sitting on my bed for three hours today because I couldn't think of anything new to do. We've watched my entire movie collection and while he loved Lemonade Mouth, I don't think he wants to watch it for the third time.

Yep we literally watched it twice because I'm so lame that I couldn't think of fun things to do. It's not like I have a pool or a big backyard, because then we could at least do something outdoors rather than indoors.

Truthfully, I've been too scared to ask him to do anything else with me. I just want him to like me and I'm scared of pushing him outside of his comfort zone. Part of me wants it to be a date, but I have to be realistic that it's not. Although if he thinks it's a date and I don't we're in a whole other situation that I'm not prepared to deal with.

I just want to ability to ask him to go to something as bros without it being weird. Also, where to bros go to just chill? Whenever I go out, which is rare, it's always in a group of at least three people. I've never done the one on one thing not at my house or the other persons.

More importantly, how do bros act? Like if I'm going to be in public how do I make it look like I don't have feelings for Louis and that it's just platonic? I don't want other people to see through me and then fuck things up.

Shit I really tend to overthink things and it makes life so hard. I never want to mess anything up so I end up sabotaging myself because I think too much. If I'm chill then everything will probably go okay and then I won't have to deal with anything.

"Lou, let's go do something." I propose, trying to seem cool. That's simple enough and don't really leave room for interpretation.

I mean, I am open for interpretation if it's in a good way. I'm down for a date if he's down for one.

"How about we go to a tattoo parlor?" He suggests, a smirk on his face. "Before you freak out it's so you can get a job. You need one and you said that you would consider being a tattoo artist."

"You're really funny. Have you met my mom? Literally she would freak out if I stepped foot into a parlor, hence why I'm going to do something else." I explain, laughing at the fact that he thinks I can easily get a job.

He's cute for thinking that, but I can't draw anything that's even close to living. Also, I have to redo everything that I draw which doesn't work on a person's skin. It's definitely something I would like to do, but never will.

"I didn't think she'd care, but I guess you don't want to follow your dreams." He flips over onto his stomach with a small grunt. "I don't leave my house much so I can't give you any ideas."

"I could see if there's a party going on tonight." I joke, avoiding his obvious jab at me. He immediately laughs at the proposition of a party and I join in with him. I was hoping that he didn't think I was actually serious about partying.

I still owe Shane a party after the time I bailed on him and honestly, I'm not looking forward to it. I somethings can't even take Shane in normal circumstances so I doubt that I can take him drunk. At least I'll be drinking too, then he won't seem so perky.
