Forever Young (Larry Stylinson)

Nine

I woke up early, not that I slept much anyway. I'm too nervous and scared about meeting Harry.

I was ready and downstairs by 8am.

"Morning love," Mum greeted me, as she walked into the kitchen where I'm eating some cereal.

"Morning." I stood up and hugged her, like I always do. "Tea?" I asked. She smiled and nodded, sitting down.

"So... you're ready to go?" She asked as I handed her a mug of tea.

"Yeah. Been up ages. Couldn't sleep."

"You still want to go though?"

"Oh yes, of course. I'm just...worried."

"You'll be ok love. Shall we get going?"

I nodded and stood up, taking my bowl and mug to the sink, washing them up quickly.

*****

The drive from Doncaster to Holmes chapel wasn't too bad. The nearer we got, the more nervous I became.

We arrived at the house at 10:30.

The house looked lovely from the outside. It was quite small with a nice, well kept garden, with pretty flowers in.

We walked up the path to the white door and rang the bell.

My heart was thumping in my chest, Mum took my hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze.

The door opened and a beautiful woman smiled at us.

"Hello Louis, and you must be Jay? Please, come in." She said, stepping aside to let us in.

"Nice to meet you Anne."I replied, taking her hand in a soft shake. Mum did the same.

"Hello Anne. So sorry to be here under these circumstances." Mum said. Anne smiled.

"How's Harry?" I asked, straight to the point. I'm desperate to see him.

"Not good, Louis. The nurse said..." She took a deep breath. "...she said we need to prepare ourselves. To get family over, but... I'm all he has."

I felt a tear roll down my cheek. I quickly wiped it away before Anne saw.

"Would you like to see him now?" Anne asked. I nodded. "Don't be scared Louis."

I followed Anne up the stairs. Mum waited downstairs, she said she'd meet him later.

Anne knocked on a door and opened it quietly. She walked in, but I found I couldn't move.

"Louis?" She whispered. I looked at her and she smiled, holding a hand out to me. I took it and walked in the room, slowly.

We walked to Harry's bedside. He was asleep.

"Harry, darling. You have a visitor." She said in his ear.

He slowly opened his eyes and smiled, weakly.

"L-Lou." He whispered.

"I'll leave you two alone. Call if you need me." Anne said and walked out.

I sat in the seat next to Harry. He looked much worse than last night.

"Hi Harry." My eyes were threatening tears, I was trying so hard to hold it together.

"Th-Thanks for c-coming." He stuttered.

"It's nice to see you love. How you doing?" I regretted asking that stupid question. "Sorry, that was stupid."

He smiled. "You're pretty." He avoided my question.

I blushed.

"And you are beautiful. I've told you that so many times, and I mean it."

"Your phone." He said.

"You want my phone?" He nodded. I turned it on and passed it to him, curious.

He held it in his frail hands. He opened the camera and handed it back to me. "Take photo?"

"Of us?" He nodded again. "Ok. Shall I lay next to you?" He smiled.

I got up on the bed and laid next to him. I put my head next to his and lifted the phone up.

I ended up taking lots of photos.

I didn't want to move away from him though. I kept my head close to his, breathing him in.

He was wearing a beanie to cover his hairless scalp. But I could smell his skin through it.

"You know...I wish I'd sent you that first text years ago." I sighed as I took his hand, holding it gently.

Harry hummed. "Why d-did you text?"

"Honestly...I though you were some kid I knew from school. Once I realised it wasn't, but I found out I liked talking to you, then I didn't want to stop. I'm glad I didn't."

Harry turned his head to face me. "I'm...glad too." He grinned.

He rested his head on my shoulder, just as there was a knock on the door. Anne walked in with my Mum behind her.

"Sorry boys, but Jay wanted to say hello Harry. This is Louis' Mum."

Harry lifted his head and Mum walked over to him.

She took his hand, and smiled. "Hello Harry. Lou never stops talking about you."

"Really?" He asked looking up at me. I smiled, and blushed.

"Yeah. It's true."

"Cute." He replied, before he yawned. "Sorry."

"You need to rest darling." Anne said. I started to get up off of the bed but Harry grabbed my hand.

"Don't g-go." He said. I looked at Anne and she nodded.

"You can stay Louis." I smiled as she left with Mum.

I laid back down, my arms wrapped around Harry. I kissed his cheek and I felt him smile.

"Lou?"

"Yes love?"

"Could you d-do something for m-me?"

"Anything you want."

"Would you k-kiss me. I...I don't want to die without being k-kissed."

My heart broke again.

"It would be my pleasure to." I smiled as I caressed his cheek.

I pulled our faces close, we looked into each others eyes. He really is beautiful, inside and out.

I move my lips towards his and kiss him, gently. His lips feel cold, but nice and soft. I would love to kiss him properly, you know...tongues and all that, but I know I can't. So we kiss each others lips for a few minutes.

We're both panting by the time our lips part. He's exhausted as he looks back into my tear filled eyes. His are the same.

He's smiling though. "How was it?" I asked.

"It w-was everything I could've wished for. Th-Thank you."

"You need to sleep love. I'll be here when you wake up, I promise." I said as I held his hand.

"I love you." He said. My heart raced.

"I love you too Harry, forever."

His head rested on my shoulder and he drifted off to sleep quickly.

I was exhausted too, and fell asleep with him.

Oh my god. Think this is the first time I've had tears in my eyes writing a chapter.

Any thoughts?
