Lottie's Brother (larry au)

13

"Harry? Can I come in?" Lottie knocks on the bedroom door. Harry is sitting on the bed after taking a warm shower that involved a lot of thinking about what he's going to say to Louis.

"Come in." Harry says as he starts putting on his socks onto his now cold feet.

"Hey, is everything okay? You kinda left mid breakfast and never returned." Lottie questioned and Harry nods with a small smile on his face before speaking.

"Yeah, I'm okay just needed a shower because I felt like I stank of lake water." Lottie buys it and nods her head before throwing herself onto Harry's bed and placing her head on his lap.

"My Nan wants us all to go down to her friend's birthday party. Her friend is Amber's Nan, you know the girl you met yesterday at the lake. Which by the way you haven't told me what happened between you and Mike?" Lottie stares up at Harry as she waits for him to spill.

Harry doesn't know why but he doesn't exactly tell her the truth, "Oh, well it was great he took me to this spot where we stared up at the stars. We talked for a while before he kissed me, and then we went back because it was getting cold and that was it."

Lottie squeals, "What do you mean that's it! That's great Harry, he'll probably be there later. You should let me style your hair, we're leaving in like an hour." Harry smiles and nods at her before she keeps talking.

"I know my brother is being so dumb right now for not seeing how perfect you are, but no one said you couldn't have flings." Lottie says with a wink before sitting up.

"I mean you are okay with this right? Do you need to vent?" Lottie asks softly and Harry could honestly break down in her arms because he's a terrible person.

"I'm okay, let's start styling this mop of hair." Harry says trying to just be happy he's on vacation with his best friend. Lottie cheers and runs to her room to get all her supplies.

Louis walks into the room freshly showered when she's gone and all Harry can think about is how much the world hates him, and how good Louis looks. He wanted to avoid being alone with Louis until he was ready to talk to him.

Louis smiles at him, "What are you up to?" He asks and Harry knows all his walls broke down the second Louis walked in smelling amazing, while dressed in a big brown hoodie with black skinny jeans that shape his legs and smiled at him.

"Your sister is going to style my hair." Harry chuckles out and Louis laughs he walks over to where Harry is sitting on the edge of the bed.

He stands between Harry's thighs before reaching his hand out to tip Harry's head up with a finger underneath his chin.

"Good luck, I hope she doesn't ruin these curls." He says before brushing a piece of Harry's hair behind his ear. Harry stares up at him and Louis wiggles his eyebrows playfully at him before pulling away and heading to his dresser.

Harry's heart is beating so fast he can hear it in his ears. "I'll be back before the party, I'm going to the store with my Granddad. Do you want anything?" Louis says casually like he didn't just kill Harry.

Lottie walks back in while Harry tries to remember how to speak again. She's got a pink bag full of things and notices Louis right away.

"Where are you off to?" Lottie asks as Louis puts on his shoes. She sets down the bag on the bed next to Harry who still hasn't said a word.

"To the store with Granddad but I'll be back before the party. You two need anything?" He asks again and meets Harry's eyes with a worried look. Probably because Harry has not said a word to him.
