5th of december

"Niall!" Louis shouts, immediately reaching for the christmas ornament just before it would have touched the ground.
The Irishman tries to avoid the smile he's about to smile, which makes him look really funny with an unexplainable expression on his face. "I'm sorry"

I gaze secretly at Louis,watching him place the ornament back in the Christmas tree. His blue eyes concentrating on what he's doing, he doesn't realise my staring. But Liam does.

The tree standing between us, he moves his head beside and gives me a confused look. I just send him a smile and dedicate my attention back on decorating the big tree.

"Guys what are we doing tomorrow again? I can't remember" a voice with an Irish accent asks.
Louis looks at him, and I can't say if there's amusement or disappointment in it. Maybe both?

"We're gonna go and buy some things poor people need"

"Oh right"

"Paul will join and record everything" I explain, looking forward to it.

We finish hanging up the ornaments, and I light up the candles. As soon as Niall and Louis leave the room to turn on all decorations in the house, Liam decides to find out more about my behaviour earlier.

"Harry, can I ask you something? The way you looked at Louis, it was..." he clears his throat, "well, let's say it confused me, your expression was unreadable"

I end with take care of the candles, face him and roll my eyes annoyed.
"I just looked at him as I look at everyone else."

Liam raises his hands protectively, while following me towards the couch.
"I know you for years now and I've never seen you-"

"I don't get why you're making such a big deal out if it, honestly! I didn't act different in any way, I fucking just looked at him, am I not allowed to do that anymore?!"

"Whatever you say"

It doesn't take me much effort to hear the i'm-still-right sound in his voice, but I don't intend on letting this conversation grow. Instead I grab a cookie from the plate that's standing on the table in front of us and start on checking my phone.

"And now Ladys and Gentlemans, we are honoured to announce that one of the greatest artists is here today and will perform his new single. Here comes Robbie Williams!"

The voice of the moderator sounds out of the speakers in our living room, followed by the band starting to play the song.

Niall, Louis, Liam and I sit on the couch, just as we did yesterday, eating chocolate and follow the live Christmas show on tv.

"He's amazing" the blond haired lad comments with shiny eyes. I smile to myself, knowing how much respect Niall always had for him.

"He really is" Liam adds, starting to talk some more but I don't listen to him. I rather listen to Louis who's quietly humming Robbie's song beside me, making my heart wanna explode because of happiness. It's such a cute moment, I wish I could stop the time right now.

God, he looks so tiny and beautiful..

I join in and as Louis notices, he grins at me, making his eyes shine even more than usual.
I had no idea this was possible.

We spend the rest of the day on the couch, singing as Niall got his guitar, laughing and teasing each other, just enjoying our free time together.
