The Next One (Larry Stylinson AU)

Chapter 5

Louis’ POV

She was sweet, really sweet, with that brown chocolate eyes of hers, the cute little nose which flatters a bit when she laughs and also that hair. The hour I often have thought about if I should play with a few of her wisps but always stopped me in the last second. I mean, we get along really well but that would be a bit creepy. Maybe she shouldn’t think I’d have a hair fetish right from the beginning. But really it is gorgeous. It’s shiny, and long, and beautiful, and I need a doctor.

While we’re heading back to the campus Liam goes back to talk about Steven.

“Did you see his coat?”

“I haven’t seen him at all, Liam. Remember?”

“Who wears a coat at a party, please?”

“Dunno.” Jap, I wasn’t interested at all.

“Someone who’s fucking gay! But no mister ‘I’m-not-gay-because-I-have-a-girlfriend-at-who-I’m-cheating-by-letting-several-guys-fuck-my-butt’ can’t be nice at all to someone who…”

“Liam, stop! I like you and all but we’ve talked about this ‘too much information’ thing, right?” I looked at him slightly annoyed.

‘Why do we have to discuss that every week again? Seriously he just has to get his life straight. Ay… That sounds shit. He has to find his direction? Urgh, even worse. Get it? He’s into both. Get his life together. Finally… yay… because I’m really not homophobic at all.’

“Ah… yea… sorry. So what do you think I should do? Just don’t care and move on, or should I try to talk to him once more, or what? Please Louis. Tell me.”

“Dude, you’re really confusing! I don’t know either. He was just an one-night-stand, right?”

He nods.

“And you don’t have feelings for him?”

“Nope.”

I can tell he’s not lying.

“So don’t care. You don’t have to see him again or talk to him. And it seems that suddenly one of your ‘friends’ don’t care if you stay in contact. So be lucky.”

“But it’s not about if I should have revenge or something for this morning. I don’t think he’s a dick or something… ok maybe a little but he should break up with his girl. Should I go to him and tell him?”

“Gosh, Liam. What’s wrong with you? Do what you want.”

“Thank you so much for the dumbest advice I’ve ever heart.”

Suddenly I hear something else.

“Your boyfriend? Did he come here to?” Jesy asks Clara.

‘Oh no, that’s not good. I mean I like her. Shit! Why do every lovely girl has to be taken? How do these lucky dudes do that?’

I glance over to her for a second. Just a second.

“Uhm.. no. That was just my best friend back home in America. He’s sort of annoying sometimes but like a brother.”

Still a lucky dude but now I’m lucky too.

I was so flustered that I didn’t catch the following part but it seems that Jesy apologizes for being so nosy. She is, but she’s nice either so I don’t care.

“Louis? Sometimes you really can be a dick. You know?”

I look up to Liam by whose frown I could turn into an ice sculpture.
