Wildfire (Larry one shot)

Park Ranger Au
    "Tomlinson! Wake the hell up." Louis jolts up quickly from his desk after feeling a balled up piece of paper hit the back of his head.
   
"What the hell was that for, Liam?" Louis says, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. He loves his job, but that doesn't mean he suddenly enjoys waking up early. Louis works as a park ranger at The Smoky Mountain State Park in Tennessee. Liam was the head ranger of his section, which made him Louis's boss. His job mainly consisted of telling everyone else what to do while he sat on his ass.

"You have a tour to give in like," Liam takes a look down at his watch before looking back up at Louis, "ten minutes." Louis groans. How the hell is he going to be awake enough to be able to entertain a bunch tourists in ten minutes?
   
"What time is it?" He says, taking a sip of his coffee, spilling a bit onto his uniform. Luckily, his shirt is a light brown, so it's hardly noticeable.
   
"It's 8:51. Your group is probably already here so, I kid you not, get out there!" Liam says, annoyed, but not yet mad. Despite the fact that Liam is Louis's boss, they actually get along pretty well. Liam hardly ever gets angry at Louis for anything, including falling asleep. Liam is used to Louis being "slow" in the morning. It has kind of become their daily routine. Louis will drift off to sleep, and Liam will wake him up.
   
"Who the hell wants to be walking around for hours at 9:00 in the morning? If I was on vacation, I would be asleep until like, I don't know, five or something." Louis exclaims, finally standing up for the first time.
   
"Yea, we know you would. Now get out there! Styles is waiting for you." Liam says. Louis groans
   
"What the hell man! Do you hate me or something? Why do you have to keep on putting me with Styles."
   
"Because that's just how it works out sometimes. Honestly, you really need to get over this hatred you have for Harry. It's been like what, two years now? It's getting a little old." Liam remarks.
   
"Hey! You're acting like this is a one way street. Harry hates me just as much as I hate him. Maybe even more." This was true. Actually, Harry was the one responsible for starting this whole feud in the first place. In fact, before Harry expressed his blatant distaste for Louis, Louis actually had a crush on him. It all started back in the ranger training program. On the first day of training, they were split up into the groups they would be working with for the whole month of training. At first, Louis was very happy with his group. His friend, Niall, was in his group, along with the most handsome man he had ever seen. You see, Louis was taken by Harry when he first saw him. He was exactly Louis's type. Tall, but not too tall. Strong, but not to strong. He also had the most beautiful green eyes Louis had ever seen. They reminded Louis of the forest and Louis loved the forest. It was one of the main reasons why he became a park ranger, so he could be around the breathtaking trees everyday.

During the training, Harry didn't talk much to anyone. He only ever seemed to talk if it was about the training. Louis, on the other hand, was loud. He talked to everyone and he laughed with everyone. He may have been training for a job, but that didn't mean he couldn't have any fun. He often tried to engage Harry in conversation, but Harry always seemed to get quickly cut him off. At first, Louis didn't think anything of this. He just thought Harry was just one of those guys that took the training very seriously. So Louis decided the best way to talk to Harry would be outside of training. He wanted to ask Harry on a date. But before he could do that, Harry decided to tell Louis how he really felt.
   
"Louis, I think you need to start taking this training more seriously. You're always goofing off, and it's affecting the entire group. Literally nobody can get a word out because you are always yelling. Honestly, it's getting really annoying. You are extremely immature and rude. You act like a child and you need to be mature to be a park ranger. So please, for the sake of everyone, grow up." Even if he wouldn't admit it, the words had hurt him. Sure, he could be loud sometimes. And sure, sometimes he liked to goof around. And maybe he tricked everyone into thinking there was a bunch of poisonous bugs loose in the building, but he didn't deserve that. It wasn't his fault Harry was so uptight. For the rest of training, Louis was cold to Harry, even being borderline rude. Harry would only roll his eyes and say that he was either immature or a child. That was how their infamous feud began.
         
On the last day of training, Louis was so excited to finally be able to get away from Harry. He was happy the whole day, until they were given their sections. Of-fucking-course him and Harry were in the same section. The one person he didn't want to be in his section, was. It didn't seem like Harry was very happy with the outcome either. In fact, it was the first time he was anything but a suck-up around their superiors. He ended up going on a tangent to them about Louis and how he couldn't possibly work with such a "immature child". He ended up getting in trouble for it and Louis was still in his group. Ever since then, there has been a mutual hatred between the two.
   
"Harry may hate you, but I never hear him complaining about you. Now get out there now or you're on garbage duty." Threatens Liam. Louis, mockingly, gives him a tiny salute before grabbing his coat and heading outside.
   
Louis walks down to the the little ticket booth where the guests pay for the tour. He saw some people already sitting down at some picnic benches, waiting for the other groups (and Louis) to arrive. Louis walks to the back of the small structure and opens the door. Harry jolts around quickly, but relaxes once he sees it's just Louis.
   
"Great, your only like 15 minutes late." Harry says as he rummages through some papers.
   
"Relax Harold, the tour doesn't start for five minutes. Plus, one of the groups aren't even here yet." Says Louis, with an annoyed tone.
