two ghosts ; larry

niall

there was a knock at my door today. i had no clue who it might be.

when i opened the door, the familiar blonde boy was standing there, one hand in his jean pocket.

i let niall into my place, we then spent hours talking. niall said he wanted to make sure i was okay and that louis was very worried about me. i don't get it though. why didn't louis come himself?

niall told me that recently louis' losing sleep, he could hear him tossing and turning, turning the lights on and then off then on again multiples times a night.

"louis wants to see you." niall said softly, "but he's scared that he'll break. he doesn't want you to see him like that."

my heart ached for louis.

niall took me back to their place, i looked around, it's decorated the way louis would like. i went in louis' bedroom. it was a mess.

i made his bed.

niall left the apartment to go to his work so i sat on louis' bed, waiting for him to come back from work.

my heart started beating really fast when i heard the front door open. my palms are sweating.

"harry?" i heard louis' beautiful voice.

i looked up. louis looked different. he looked like he hasn't shaved in weeks. his hair grew longer, maybe he's got curls too? i've never seen his hair this long before, he's always taken care of his hair.

i wanted to cry seeing him like this.

louis gave me a small smile then knelt down in front of me so we're both at eye level, i can't even get myself to stand so i'm still sitting on his bed.

"did you do this?" louis let out a small chuckle, i haven't heard that sound in way too long, "thank you, love."

louis and i got to cuddle that night, i stayed over.

we fell asleep together, again. i miss this.

for the first time in a long time, i slept very well. i think louis did too.
