The final bell rang, and I walked out of class looking for Louis. He stampeded his way out of class and left me behind. Making my way towards his locker, I see a bunch of messy curly hair. "Hi Niall." I smile up at Harry, "hello."

"Is it alright if I still come over tonight?" He asks nervously. I chuckle, "of course!" I pat his shoulder, "do you want a ride to your house so you can grab some clothes? I won't mind." He thinks for a moment before declining my offer, "it's alright, can I have your address before you leave so that I can make my way to your house?" I nod my head and write down my address on a crumpled piece of paper that I found in my pocket. Probably maths notes but it's fine. "Is there a specific time you want me over?" He grabs the note and reads over it, "as soon as you can? Don't want to miss any of the fun! We'll have pizza and video games and anything/everything else!" Harry shyly smiles at me, "sounds fun." He walks away and I find Louis at his locker. "What's up Lou? You ready?" He slams his locker shut and sighs, "yes my good sir, it's been an eventful day and I'm in need of relaxation and a good body rub." I laugh at Louis. "We had the same classes, it wasn't that bad," I pause and think over today. "Actually, it was. I too want a body rub and a hot relaxing bubble bath." We laugh and make our way out of the school yard and into the car park. "Let's go take a bubble bath!" I shout as we climb into the car, and I make our way to my house.

-

Once we reached my house, we both had decided we did actually want a bubble bath. We walked inside and went straight to the bathroom. Not really caring about putting on swim trunks or anything, we kept on our briefs and climbed into the tub. The tub was moderately big as it can fit the both of us in side by side, and deep enough to where the water isn't to our midriff but our shoulders. As we sat in, the hot soapy water covers our bodies and we both moan loudly, "I'm so glad nobody is home, they'd probably think we're fucking or some shit." Louis laughs as he sits all the way down, facing me as his legs hit the side of mine. "Honestly, they already think we're hiding our love from them." I agree and laugh along.

"We should probably get out now, I think we're pruning." I laugh as I look at the tips of my fingers. We've been relaxing in the bubble bath for some time now and the bubbles are slowly disappearing, along with the smell of a bouquet of summer flowers. It was my mums bubble bath soap and it smells nice, sue me.

"Oh, by the way, Harry's coming over tonight." I say as I lazily look up towards Louis. "Good, I think he'll have fun." I nod agreeing with him. I sink further down into the tub, the warmth of the water reaching my neck. "We really need to get out," I mumble as I close my eyes. The water is so warm, and I never want to get out. I only got a grunt in response and I chuckle, knowing that Louis was thinking the exact same thing I was.

Another ten minutes pass and the sound of a doorbell brings me back to reality. "I guess that's Harry." I say and reluctantly pull myself up out of the bath. Louis jumps out of the bath and runs towards the front door. "Louis you're tracking water everywhere!" I sigh and pinch the bridge of my nose.

"Harry!" I can hear him screech before a loud bang and serious of profanities follows right after. "Ow, Niall help me please." I try not to laugh as I grab a towel for him, after wrapping one around myself. I follow the trail of water out of the bathroom and into the foyer. I see the water marks on the floor of the moment he slipped and the lines of where is body slid, I couldn't hold my laughter in anymore as I see him. His body is twisted underneath the table in the hall, and I can't help my body as it folds over in laughter. His butt is pressed up against the wall as his chest is flat against the floor. The jacket that was above the table on the wall is now covering his head. He must've hit the wall pretty hard. He looks pathetic as he looks up at me, "are you going to help me, or are you going to stand there and piss yourself?" I wave my arm above my head to signal him to be quiet, I can't even breathe I'm laughing so hard. I've maybe been standing here for a good five minutes just cackling away at the state he's in. My sides hurt, and my laughter has turned silent. I look back up at the scene in front of me, Louis' body all mushed underneath the table and everything that was on top of the table is now covering the floor. I start laughing again but this time I make my way towards him. "Fuckin' finally." I hear him mumble, but that did it for me. I stop walking and sink onto the floor, not being able to hold myself up. "Jesus Christ Lou," I wheeze out, "if you'd shut up I might be able to make my way over there." I hear him huff and look at him, his head is now leaning against his fist. The jacket that's on his head makes it look like he's got long hair, and I know I should help him - I really do. But I can't. I'm crying at this point. After a minute of crying and clapping my hands together like seal, I try to calm myself down so I can help the poor boy. I take a deep breath and crawl towards him, I grab his hand and pull him out. He stands up, wincing as he does so and glares at me. "Thanks." I smile up at him and hand him the towel that I had dropped on the floor and he takes it, wrapping it around himself over his chest. I make sure mines still around me as I get up off the floor. "You're terrible," He huffs. I chuckle and shake my head. "Not my fault you slipped." Louis was about to retaliate but the doorbell cut him off. "Oh right Harry!" I shout making my way towards the front door, jumping over the water spots. I pull it open and Harry's just standing there, amused and confused. "Should I ask?"
