Fancy Pants || l.s.

chapter 13

The boys had fallen back asleep after talking about waffles and how delicious they were and argued about what was better. Pancakes or waffles? They had decided on waffles because they had little pockets to hold more syrup. Zayn woke up and saw that it was 9:43 am, he laid there for a second before getting out of bed. He walked downstairs to check in Harry, only to see that he wasn't there. He looked in the kitchen, bathroom, backyard, and even the garage. He was no where to be found. He decided he'd ask Louis if he had seen him and maybe they can search for the boy together.

Zayn walked up the steps and quietly knocked on the guest room door. After a while of waiting, with no response, he slowly opened the door just a bit.

"Louis." He said quietly through the door. He waited to see if Louis would hear but after no response again, he opened the door and walked in. Just as he was about to speak again, he saw not one, but two bodies beneath the covers. "No fucken way." Zayn squealed quietly and walked over to the bed. He could see Louis hair poking out from the top of the covers and next to him, were Harry's little curls poking out from underneath. Zayn smiled and walked out of the room, closing his door on the way and walking down to the kitchen to eat some breakfast.

Zayn happily ate cereal and watched a few reruns of 'That 70's Show'. An hour later, he heard footsteps coming down the step, he turned to see Harry rubbing his face and then yawning.

"Morning, H." Zayn propped up on the couch and smiled widely at Harry. Harry scrunched his eyebrows and made a face. "How'd you sleep?"

"Great." Harry said and blushed when he realized that Zayn probably saw him in bed with Louis.

"Did you get funky?" Zayn smirked. Harry blushed even harder and groaned. "Is that a yes I hear?"

"Zayn, no. I don't even remember going upstairs I was too drunk. Louis said I just showed up and he let me sleep there with him."

Zayn hummed and walked over to Harry, he gave him a big hug and Harry laughed but hugged him back anyway. They stayed that way for a while until Harry pulled away.

"Zayn," Harry started. "Im sorry."

"For what?"

"For being a shitty friend." Zayn was about to respond but Harry silenced him by speaking again. "I know you were only trying to help when me and Aaron broke up and I know you just want me happy and I'm sorry that I snapped at you and kicked you out of my house that day. I shouldn't have done that. It was stupid of me. I feel like an idiot."

"H, it's okay. You were going through a lot and I'll admit, I wasn't expecting you to react that way but I get that you just wanted some time alone." Harry nodded and pouted. "You were being a bitch that day though."

"Hey!" Harry protested and he punched Zayn's shoulder, Zayn held his shoulder and made dying sounds and slowly walked backwards before going onto his knees and dropping completely onto the floor.

"I've been shot!" Zayn yelled. "Help!"

Harry laughed and watched as Zayn pretended to die and make more sounds of pain. Harry was now crying from laughter and Zayn started laughing as he still lay on the floor. Louis came down the steps and looked at Harry who held his stomach and hunched forward, dying from laughter and Zayn who was laying on the floor, face down, laughing.

"What on earth is going on?" Louis chuckled lightly, still confused about the situation.

Harry turned around, his laughter dying down but he was smiling and throwing in some laughs here and there. Zayn sat up and wiped at his 'tears' and then stood up to stand by Harry.

"Good morning." Harry giggled. "How'd you sleep?"

"It was lovely, thank you. What were you guys laughing about? Seemed pretty funny."

"We were just talking," Zayn said referring to him and Harry. "And Harry punched me and I pretended to die."

They both started laughing again and Louis simply shook his head and gave a small laugh before going to sit on the couch. The boys stopped laughing and Zayn went back into the kitchen to get water while Harry went to sit next to Louis. Louis had a look of concentration, sadness and fear. Harry furrowed his eyebrows and put his hand on Louis' shoulder.

"Hey, you okay?" Harry quietly asked. Louis looked up at him and sniffles. "You okay?"

"Yeah, yeah." Louis wipes at his nose and stands up. "I should get going. I have some stuff to do today. Sorry."

Louis quickly runs up the stairs to grab his stuff. Harry sits and watches him and turns to Zayn when he walks in.

"Somethings wrong with Lou."

"Lou?" Zayn questions. "When did you start calling him that?" Zayn lifts his eyebrows up and down and sits next to Harry.

"Z, I'm serious. I don't think he's okay. Do you think we upset him? Maybe he didn't have a good time here."

"Why don't you go up and ask him?" Zayn suggested.

"I asked if he was okay and he said he was fine and that he had to go now." Harry pouted and looked down.

Louis came down the stairs, now dressed in his own clothes and backpack over his shoulder.

"Louis," Zayn stood up and walked to him. "You alright?"

"Yes, I'm fine. Thank you for letting me sleep over. I had a great time but I really need to get going. I put the pjs in your hamper, hope you don't mind." Louis rambled on. He gave a small smile and started waking to the door.

"Lou!" Harry calles out. Louis turned around and looked at Harry who was now walking to him. Harry fiddled with his fingers before finally bringing Louis into a hug. Louis was surprised at first and didn't hug back. Not that he didn't want to, he just had a lot on his mind.

"I hope you feel better. Whatever it is." Harry tucked a curl behind his ear and smiled. "I know we're not super close but you can call or text if you need anything."

"Thanks Harry." Louis smiled and looked down. "I'm sorry. You guys didn't do anything wrong. I just have something important to do."

"We understand Louis." Zayn said.

Louis waved goodbye and left Harry and Zayn wondering what could've possibly made Louis feel how he was feeling.

"You think he'll be alright?" Harry asked Zayn as they sat back on the couch.

"I hope so."

Louis parked his car and rushed into the tall building. Once inside, he frantically looked around for a familiar face until he was met with just who he was looking for. He ran up to her and gave her a quick hug before pulling away.

"Sorry I'm late. Where is she?"
