They say opposites attract.

Chapter 27

Harry's eyes slowly fluttered open, eyes adjusting to the darkness that engulfed him. Next to him lay Louis' naked body with his arm draped around Harry's chest, cuddling him close.

Harry wasn't stupid, he was fully aware of what happened last night and God knows he was currently on cloud 9. Nonetheless, he feared Louis' reaction. They had agreed to start over and this seemed to eliminate the friendship they tried to recover in one stroke. Harry couldn't deny this would not happen however, he was completely aware of his attraction towards Louis and he knew that his body reacted differently to Louis' touch. It was a touch that ignited a fire within. Harry knew this was bound to happen if given the chance.

But Louis does nothing but confuse him. He is completely unknowing of Louis' sexuality. Louis tries hard to give the image that he's straight and Harry did try to believe it- he did, but Louis did nothing but do actions that opposed this completely.

Harry liked Louis, he knew that now more than ever. If Louis weren't so far into the closet Harry would have asked him out, but he knew it was a grey area. Yes, him and Louis have hooked up several times but asking him out is different, asking him out is almost as if asking him to take a step further towards the outside of the closet. And although he knew he liked Louis, he also knew that Louis wasn't ready for that.

Harry's been ready for so long. He could picture him and Louis dating and being playful with each other, without a care in the world. If Louis lets his guard down Harry's certain they'd be a great match, which made everything worse.

Louis shifted against Harry and Harry got tense- how should he act?

"G'morning." Louis mumbled against Harry's chest, looking up to meet his eyes. Louis' lazy smile was enough to cause Harry's dimples to erupt on his face.

"Hey." Harry replied, smile as wide as the sun. Louis sat up and his lips met Harry's. Harry's eyes fluttered shut, flourishing in the moment.

"Mmm.." Louis mumbled, pulling away from Harry but keeping their noses touching. Harry's eyes questioned Louis, urging to lean back in. "Morning breath." He elaborated. Slightly giggling.

Harry's dimples dug deeper into his cheeks. "If you think that will stop me, you've got the wrong idea." Harry crashed his lips back into Louis' and sighed in bliss when met with the missing contact.

"Harry.." Louis pushed him away, giggling. "Your breath really stinks." Harry shook his head and leaned back in but Louis was quicker this time, he backed away, off the bed and ran towards the toilet.

Harry groaned loudly, too lazy to run after Louis but craving the taste of his lips. "Louisss...." Harry called out. He could hear Louis' silent giggles from the toilet.

"I am not a dirty bastard like yourself and I wish to clean my teeth. I hope you could comply and do the same and you might get what you want as a result..." Louis called out playfully.

"Might? I am not taking might . Say it's for certain or it's not a deal!" Harry replied, getting up and heading towards the toilet.

"It's not a deal then! It was great doing business with you Harold-"

"Louis! Fine, fine. Just get out so I could get it over with." Louis swung the door open, large smile on his face. He cleared the space so Harry could walk past. Louis watched as Harry began to brush his teeth. It was as he stared at his reflection that Harry noticed he was still naked- and so was Louis. He really could get used to this. "Is there a reason you're watching me Lewis?"

Louis cringed at the name and Harry beamed at him. "Yes, actually. Since you are known for your nasty ways I wanted to make sure you actually brushed your teeth." Both Harry and Louis knew the only reason this was going back and forth for so long was because they enjoyed the banter. Harry couldn't be happier.
