SEPTEMBER 1ST, 2006; LOUIS VISITS HARRY AT WORK. However, Harry doesn't really enjoy the reactions Louis gains from others.

He knew it was far from Louis' fault. September in Florida is one of the hottest times of the year, all the rain making the humidity even higher and it wasn't fun. Harry was at work in a local family owned pet store, Louis loved visiting Harry during his lunch breaks whenever he could; but he also loved going to see the bunnies. 

This wasn't the issue, he loved when Louis would come in and see him, and spend lunch with him. The problem was the looks he'd see people give Louis when they would walk into whatever fast food place they decided to eat at.

Louis was aware of the way he looked, and would get self conscious about it from time to time; and of course Harry assured him he was fine, and that he personally loved Louis the way he was. But this was beyond the point.

Louis walked into Harry's job in shorts that cut off right above his knees, and a loose T-shirt, and in Harry's eyes this was normal. This is how Louis dressed when he left his house, in private he was used to different things. He didn't blame Louis for the way the shorts fit the boy, nor did he blame the boy for wearing them; he didn't have many pairs of shorts he'd leave his house in, unless it was Halloween.

But this didn't mean Louis didn't attract the attention of people who he'd pass by. Whether it was boys in his and Harry's age range, or full grown men, someone always stared at the boy. And Harry couldn't help the possession that he felt because Louis was his. It didn't matter what the circumstances were, Louis was always going to be his.

And God, did Harry hate his possessive side, especially when it came to Louis. He hated the way these boys and men stared at his boy, but he loved the way they'd look defeated when Louis would only pay attention to Harry, even when they called after him. This was routine for them, especially when Harry worked weekends.

But there was always this one thing that Harry knew in the back of his mind, and he knew was it was, and he knew what he wanted to do about it, the only thing was that, there was no way in hell he could do it.

He knew that sometimes Louis would do it on purpose. Roll his shorts a little too high, wear a see through shirt, he'd go all out basically, and he did it on purpose because he wasn't stupid, he knew Harry didn't like when people stared. And the both of them knew that not only was Louis good at teasing, but that he loved doing it. And that didn't settle with Harry in a particularly good way, and this is only because of Louis' age.

"H, are you even listenin' to me?" Louis snaps his fingers close to Harry's face to pull him out of his trance, which at the moment, is focusing on Louis' thighs, and how good the lightly colored jeans suit him.

"Sorry baby, daydreaming. What were you talking about?" he shakes his head until his mind is clean of images of him doing things to Louis' thighs.

"Said I could go for McDonald's today, if you're up for that." Louis smiles at Harry, because he thinks it's utterly adorable when Harry gets distracted.

"Oh, yeah, that's fine angel." Harry smiles as he goes to the back room to clock out.

Once he does, they make their way to the McDonald's down the street, where Harry orders their usual meals, while Louis hides behind him, arms wrapped around the taller boy's waist.
