Undercover (Larry Stylinson)

24. can you come over?

"Hey," Liam called as Louis reentered the house.

"Hey," Louis said hurriedly, rushing towards the bathroom.

"Uh, Zayn is in there," Liam said. "How did it go with Harry?"

Louis frowned and sat on the couch, taking out his phone. "It was fine. Or it would have been if it weren't for Niall cock blocking us."

"What do you mean?" Liam asked. He poured them each a glass of water and sat next to Louis on the couch.

"Well, he heard thunder and it triggered his memories of Moscow so he pulled out a gun and shot out the window," Louis said, cringing as he thought of the memory.

"So that's what that noise was," Liam replied, his eyes widening. "Fuck, that's scary."

"Yeah, I mean I know it's not his fault, but you can't blame me for not wanting to fuck after that," Louis said with a shrug.

"Wait, you almost fucked?" Liam said, grabbing Louis' arm.

"Yeah," Louis said. "Why, is that surprising?"

"No, I just... that's good. So you guys are good again?" Liam asked excitedly.

"I guess. I don't know. He came to the diner while I was on my third shake. Caught in the act," he said, swallowing thickly. "Then we talked a little, he said he misses me and wants to try to make it work. I said I can't because I have disgusting habits and I don't want him to see them. And well, he saw them pretty quickly when I purged on the sidewalk in front of him."

"Wait, what the fuck?" Liam asked, wrinkling his nose.

Louis grimaced. "I could barely walk. I just had to get it out of my system to stop the pain. I know it's disgusting... but somehow, he didn't care. Invited me back over to watch a movie. And we cuddled a little and then started hooking up. Until Niall shot off the gun."

"Wow," Liam said. He sat back in his chair, muscles tenses and eyes wide, as if he had just gotten off of a roller coaster. "That's... a lot."

"Yup," Louis said, watching as Zayn exited the bathroom. "And I take it I'm being a cockblock right now. Want me out?"

"No," Zayn said cheerily as he joined them on the couch. "Liam and I had plenty of coitus this afternoon."

"I'm gonna go puke now, thanks for the visual," Louis said, heading to the bathroom.

"Human sexuality is a natural part of life," Zayn scoffed. "Don't be so rude."

"Whatever," Louis muttered. He never would be able to get over that strange man, would he?

After taking a shower and watching a bit of TV in bed, Louis checked his phone one last time before going to sleep.

Harry: Hey, sorry about the whole Niall thing. I'm taking him to a trauma clinic tomorrow. And I got rid of the gun

Harry: Also, Louis, I know we didn't do much, but that was so great

Harry: you're so hot

Harry: seriously, genuinely

Louis felt his face light up and his muscles soften to form a smile. His thumbs danced across the screen as he typed his response.

Louis: thank you

Louis: I'm not. But you're very hot, Mr. Styles

Harry: So untrue.

Harry: I want you to feel good about yourself. Because you're perfect
