Lilo & Nouis Smut (BoyxBoy)

30. What If It's Given To You? (Lilo)

Louis scans the crowd for someone he can hook up with. He knows most of the people here, but there are some new faces that he can possibly score with. After a while, his eyes fall on a familiar boy trying to deny a drink from Simon Toller. To put it nicely, Simon is a class A jackass who doesn't like to take no as an answer, and the boy, Liam, seems to not want to have anything to do with him. Although Simon won't let up; he just keeps pushing the drink at him and it looks like he's telling Liam that it's okay and that he should just have a drink. Louis gets up from the couch and walks toward them, stepping in front of Liam and between the both of them.

"He said he didn't want any. Now leave." Louis says sternly.

"Stay out of this Tomlinson. It doesn't concern you." He spits. Louis takes a step forward, making him back up.

"I said leave." He growls. "Or I swear, I'll slam you down on this table so hard, you'll piss yourself." Simon stares at him for a minute longer, trying to keep his expression neutral, but Louis can see the fear seeping through. Louis isn't the biggest person, but he does have a reputation that puts people off. Eventually, Simon walks away, cursing, but Louis can't understand anything else he says. Louis turns around to Liam and gives him a polite smile.

"Thanks." Liam breathes. "He just wouldn't take no for an answer."

"Yeah, that's Simon for ya." Louis says, rolling his eyes taking a drink from my beer. "At this point, no one invites him anymore. He just shows up regardless." Liam nods in understanding and shoves his hands in his pocket. "You want something to drink?"

"Oh, I don't drink." He says, his cheeks growing red, and Louis nods his head. Louis isn't exactly best friends with Liam, but he knows him well enough through other people. He's a grade below Louis, but they see each other a lot in school. He isn't the party type, Louis knows that much, and his boyfriend's a dick.

"How about a water or a coke or something like that?" He nods, and Louis takes hold of his wrist, pulling him to the kitchen. Louis grabs a coke from the fridge for him, and they take a seat at the kitchen table. "So, where's your boyfriend?"

"He's grounded for wrecking his dad's car." Liam says flatly, opening his drink. "I came with a couple of other friends, but they all split up and ditched me for other people."

"Oh..." Louis says, nodding his head and trying not to sound too happy.

"Yeah, did you come with some friends or...?"

"Zayn Malik's a real good friend of mine. I'm always invited to his parties, but I do know most of the people here. Most of those people I don't like but still." Louis says with a shrug.

"You don't like a lot of people, do you?"

"Nope."

"Why? Do you like me?" He asks. Louis looks at him and laughs at the look on Liam's face

"You're not annoying, and I just saved you from the disease named Simon. What do you think?" His face gets even more red as he looks down at the table, and Louis has the urge to reach over and ruffle his hair.

"Hey Lou!" Zayn says, taking a seat next to Louis and throwing his arm around his shoulder. "We're gonna play beer pong in here so I'm kicking you out. Unless you want to play, of course." Louis thinks about sticking around but looks to Liam and changes his mind, not wanting the boy to feel left out.

"Nah, I'm terrible, and you know that. C'mon Liam." Louis stands and grabs his hand again, leading him down the hallway into the living room. They take a seat on the couch, and Louis can't help but notice how closely Liam sits next to him, their thighs pressed together warmly. They share a bit more about each other and Louis learns more about the boy, some of which he's not surprised to learn. Liam is an AP student who plans to go to university for law, and he loves romcoms. Louis wonders how Liam got to dating someone like Harry, who is the opposite in personality. Liam is kind and smart and seems to want to stay out of trouble, while Harry doesn't care about any of that stuff. Louis is sure that Harry is probably a nice guy when he's just around Liam, but he and Louis have hated each other since middle school so he wouldn't know if Harry had a sweet side. Louis finishes off his beer and sets the can on the table, listening to Liam tell him about how he's going to be a camp counselor over the summer. Louis hates to interrupt him but his bladder feels as though it's about to explode, so he stands.
