Never Knew I Needed - Larry Stylinson AU

Chapter 2

(A/N) Surprise! Chapter 2! And... I think this story shall be in Louis' P.O.V until further notice. I'll inform you when it's being switched up, but I decide not to tell you that it's Louis' P.O.V at the top of every chapter until I decide to change it... cause that could get annoying. Almost as annoying as these authors notes? I think so! Well here's chapter 2. Hope you like it... Oh, also, ignore my lack of info on the UK's way of keeping time and money system... I attempted to do research, but I'm from the US... so if I failed miserably, forgive me.

I was awoken by Liam ripping the covers off of my body, "Wake up, Lou."

My eyes flew open, and I looked groggily to my clock on my nightstand, "6:00AM? Really?" I burrowed my head back under my pillow.

"Up," Liam demanded, yanking the pillow off my head again.

"That was a mistake, Payne," I growled into my mattress.

"Listen, Louis, you can be the bum you are and sleep in some other time. I have to go to work, and you have to be awake for when Harry wakes up," Liam opened my blinds.

"Is he not old enough to take care of himself?" I snapped.

"Well, considering he's in a strange house and has no idea where anything is, he's going to need some help..." Liam explained patiently.

"Can't I just kick him out as soon as he wakes up?" I pleaded.

"Louis! If I come home and find out you kicked the poor kid back into the streets, I will... I'll go into your closet and burn every single pair of TOMs you own," he threatened.

My eyes widened, "You wouldn't..."

"Don't test me, Tomlinson. Harry stays until I get back from work. Got it?" Liam stared me down.

"Yeah, yeah. I'll let the homeless boy chill here for awhile. But you can't stop me from screwing around with his mind!" I said triumphantly.

"Just don't get him or yourself killed... and don't burn down the flat.... don't break anything either... and don't... Maybe I should call you a babysitter," Liam now stood hesitantly in the doorway, clearly unsure if he should leave me alone with Harry or not.

"Oh, by the way Liam. I set all the clocks an hour back. You're late for work," I leaned back against the pillows in bed, a smirk playing at my lips.

"You- Louis when I get home I'm going to kill you!" Liam sprinted down the hall, and I heard the door to the flat close.

I hadn't actually set the clocks back. I just wanted Liam out of my hair so I could do whatever I wanted. It was quite tempting to just roll over and go back to bed, but if Harry left without me noticing, then Liam would blame me and I'd lose all of my precious TOMs. Sighing, I rolled off my bed, and walked to my dresser. I decided to just slip on a pair of grey sweats and a black t-shirt considering I'd fallen asleep in my clothes I'd worn the night before. After changing, I casually strolled into the living room, expecting the curly haired boy to still be sleeping on the couch. I'd planned to wake him up since I had to be awake. However, much to my surprise, the blanket he had used was folded on the couch with the pillow placed on top, and the curly boy was no longer on the couch.

I scanned the room quickly, spotting Harry silently slipping his shoes on by the front door, "Hey!"

He nearly hit his head on the coat rack as he jumped, "Oh! Morning."

"Where are you going?" I demanded.

"Uh... out? All I really needed was a place to sleep for the night. It's okay now," he shrugged, tugging his beanie lower onto his head.
