wheels on the bus ➸ [larry au]

ღ chapter three ღ

"do i 'ave to?" young harry asks his mother as she walked him to the end of the driveway where the bus would be picking him up any minute.

"yes harry, maybe he'll be nicer to you if you give him a treat," anne, oh so innocent, told her son handing him a bag of freshly baked cookies.

last night after harry had told his mother about the rudeness of the blue eyed boy on the bus, she thought maybe showing him an act of kindness would boost his own heart and realize his own potential of being kind. harry didn't like the idea of talking to the kid again.

soon enough harry's green eyes spotted the bus approaching and kissed his momma a goodbye. anne made him promise to give the cookies to the rude kid and then he was off and into the bus.

"hi harry," the same woman from his first day says smiling at him.

"hi," he says shyly, his cheeks tinted with pink.

he feels the bus start to move as he tries to make his way through the aisles of seats. his mission of the morning was to find the boy to which he succeeded when he spotted him very close to the rear of the bus.

he sighs and stomps his way over to him holding his lunch box in one hand and the cookie in the other. he stops when he gets to him and extend his arm (the one holding the cookie).

louis looks up confused and annoyed at the sight of the younger one and furrows his eyebrows when he realized what he was handing him.

"what's this?" he asks.

harry opens his mouth to speak yet no words come out. louis rolls his eyes, "are you going to talk or just look at me?"

"my mommy... told me that i 'ave to be nice," harry starts nervously, "and she told me i 'ave to give you a 'ookie."

louis doesn't say anything but grabs the cookie from harry's hand. he didn't even question how harry's mother knew about him yet simply munched the cookie in front of him.

"c..can i sit here?" harry then says quietly pointing to the yet again empty seat beside louis.

louis grunts and grabs his bag from his lap and places it obnoxiously on the empty seat before saying, "no."

harry huffed. he hated being nice. being nice didn't make others be nice to him.

with a frown he makes his way to find another seat and sits down. soon he was joined by his best friend to whom he ranted to about the not-so-kind louis.

"he's so annoying," louis grunts to his best friend during recess.

"who?" liam questions his older friend munching on his snack.

"this little kid on my bus," he continues, "he brought me a cookie today. a cookie! it was not even good."

"a cookie? why would he give you one?" he asks his friend. louis shrugged not knowing the answer to the question either. as louis had never seen the kid in his life until yesterday and today he was brought a cookie.

"liam!" suddenly they both hear. liam smiles and waves his friend over making louis turn to see who he was motioning over. he gasps as he sees who was approaching.

"hi niall," liam smiles and spots who was beside him, "who are you?"

"i'm 'arry," the excitedly and bubbly harry says waving. he noticed the blue eyed boy though and he quickly stops smiling not so pleased about niall's choice of friends.

"this is louis," liam says oblivious to both harry and louis' glances at each other. harry completely unhappy with the older one and louis completely annoyed at the younger one.
