505 || l.s. short story

7

Harry showered, got dressed into his cheetah print blazer and took a few deep breaths before saying good bye to Patrick. He walked down the hall and stood in front of apartment 505, he hesitated to knock and eventually pounded on the door.

He mentally cursed himself, he probably scared Louis and now he might not even open the door. But to Harry's surprise, Louis opened the door and stepped out into the hall, shutting the door behind him. He wore a grey sweater with a matching grey beanie and black pants, just like Harry's.

"Wow." Was all Harry could say. "You look lovely."

"Me?" Louis chuckled and pointed at Harry. "Look at you! You look like you own some big fashion company. You look very— suave."

Harry beamed and held out his arm, Louis hooked his arm into Harry's and they walked down to the elevator and once they exit the building, Harry led Louis to his car.

"I know a neat little coffee shop a few blocks down that I'm hoping you'll like."

"Dynamos?" Louis asked. It was the only coffee shop he'd ever been to in the area and he loved the elegance of the place.

"So you've been there?" Harry laughed at himself for thinking that someone who's lived here for years, didn't know the places around them.

"Of course. I love that place. Great coffee too. Have you tried their strawberry yogurt scones? They're absolutely delicious but you have to have them with a latte because that makes it so much better or a vanilla ice coffee if it's a hot day. I heard they have a new scone. I think it might've been something like a cranberry orange scone? I can't remember but I've heard that's it real good. We should try it or maybe we can get one of each scone and share them and whatever we don't finish we can take back and maybe have later for tea time. Would you want to join me for my tea time? Do you have a tea time? I usually have tea time between my meals, it's very relaxing. Maybe you can stay for lunch if you'd like. I make a mean BLT and we can have some of my homemade cookies for a little dessert. Oh wait, we'll have the scones so I guess we can eat those. We can watch a movie too! Do you like Disney movies? That's practically all I watch if I'm being honest. We can watch Aladdin. I feel like that kind of corresponds to us. Does that make sense? Am I making sense to you? I'm sorry. I'm not letting you speak. Did you want to say anything?"

Harry listened to every word Louis had said as if they were made of gold, something he'd been waiting to hear all morning. Harry loved the way his voice quickened when he thought of a new idea and how he lost himself for a moment. Harry couldn't help but to blush at the beautiful boy.
