you bring me home [larry stylinson]

Prologue

"LOUIS! LOUIS! Open the door!"

Harry was knocking repeatedly on the Tomlinsons's front door, holding a white bag in his left hand. Nobody was answering, so he kept on knocking. A few moments later, a surprised Jay opened the door. She looked down at Harry and laughed.

"Come in," she smiled.

Harry didn't have to be told twice. The ten year old boy rushed in and ran upstairs to Louis's room. He didn't bother knocking; he just walked right in. Louis was busy reading a comic book. Harry plopped down on the bed and Louis smiled.

"What's up Haz?"

"I GOT IT!"

Louis's mouth dropped open and he looked at his best friend in shock. "You did?!" he asked incredulously.

Harry nodded and showed him the white bag. Immediately, the boys opened it together to reveal a white box from Nintendo. It was the newest GameBoy; the Advance SP. He had begged his mum Anne for months to get it and she finally budged. Harry was over the moon! He had picked out the red one, because he knew it was Louis's favourite colour.

"Did you get any games?" Louis asked, excited.

"My mum only let me pick one," Harry frowned. "It was a tough choice but I went with this one!"

Harry held up a small game cartridge that read: The Fairly Odd Parents: Breakin' da Rules.

"Fairly Odd Parents?" Louis read aloud, confused. "What's that?"

"Some kind of TV show I think," Harry shrugged. "I don't know. But look," he pointed at Timmy Turner, "it looks like you Lou! That's why I picked it!"

Louis laughed hard, clutching his stomach. He laughed so hard he ended up falling off the bed. Harry dropped his GameBoy and the game and peered over the bed to see Louis still laughing. He smiled when he realized his best friend was okay.

"Why are you laughing?"

"He looks ridiculous," Louis pointed out. He slowly got up and wiped some tears from his eyes. "You got this game because he reminded you of me? Harry, you could have gotten a Super Mario Brothers game!"

"I like this one," Harry frowned, getting defensive over his game. He picked it up and clutched it to his heart. "I picked it out for a special reason and I'm keeping it! Do you wanna take turns and play, or not?"

"I do, I do," Louis reassured him. He sat back down on the bed and Harry put the cartridge in the game slot; loading it up. He had made sure to charge it before heading over to Louis's. That was the longest half-hour of his life. Once the game loaded, the boys each took turns playing. They ended up playing for hours, until it was dinner time.

"Harry," Jay popped her head into Louis's room. "Do you want to stay for dinner hun?"

Harry grinned and nodded. "I would love to! I'm just gonna ask my mum!"

He passed the game to Louis and told him to keep playing. He then rushed downstairs and out of the Tomlinson house. He looked both ways to make sure no car was coming and he then crossed the street. He walked into the home facing Louis's and yelled out, "MUM! Can I have dinner at Louis's?"

"Sure love," Anne called out from upstairs.

Harry smiled and ran out, shutting the door behind him. He then ran back inside and went up to Louis's room. Jay was standing there, waiting for an answer. Harry gave her a thumbs up and she chuckled softly. "You boys are too cute. Enjoy your game, I'll call you when it's time for dinner!"

With that, she left Louis's room. Harry turned to Louis and peered over his shoulder. "What did I miss?"

That was back at the beginning of 2003. By the end of the summer, Louis found out they had to move for a new position when his dad Mark got within his company. That meant Louis had to leave London, but mainly. . . he had to leave his best friend; Harry Styles.

Unfortunately, this was before cell phones were widely popular and before Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, and many more, were even invented. YouTube only came out two years later in 2005. This meant that the boys had no way of contacting one another. When Louis moved away; their friendship moved with him.
