"So contemporary dance is a mixture of modern dance, jazz and classical ballet." Louis reads out loud from his computer. Harry nods as he listens.
"That doesn't seem hard at all." Harry says ironically and Louis chuckles. Louis has decided to stay out of Harry's brain, at least for a little while, while they're preparing their dance together.
"I found a video of a couple dancing a contemporary dance." Louis says and Harry moves closer so they can look at Louis' computer. Louis plays the video and they watch in amazement at the duo on the screen.
As the video finishes Harry and Louis both stay silent for a bit until Harry breaks the silence.
"So, apparently, there's a lot of lifting."
"Yup." Louis nods his head slowly, trying to comprehend the fact that he and Harry have to do something similar to that.
They watch a few more videos and read some more about the dance and then they agree to start choreographing. They warm up for a bit and then they try agreeing on a storyline. They don't really know what order they should do it in; if they should pick a song as the first thing or find an idea first, but they've never done this before so they just try doing both as well as possible.
After discussing a couple of loose ideas, Harry suddenly looks like he came up with something good. "You have something?" Louis says with excitement since he was starting to loose hope that this would be any good. Harry nods and Louis motions for him to say it.
"It's sappy so don't judge okay, but it could be good," Louis nods and Harry starts explaining. "How about we do a storyline where you've come out of a relationship that left you completely shattered, so much you think you can never trust anyone again." He starts and Louis listens intently. He was trying so hard not to read Harry's mind, but he just couldn't help himself.
"Don't start crying. Even though this is what happened to you, it doesn't mean this is that exact story. This one should have a happy ending. Don't start thinking about him, you know what happened last time you let yourself relapse like this."
Louis almost gasps out loud when he hears Harry's thoughts. Harry's talking from experience.
Instead of saying anything, Louis just keeps listening as Harry continues. Louis can see the pain in Harry's eyes though as he talks.
"But then I come into the picture and I, um, I fall in love with you and want to make everything good again. But you have trouble trusting me because of what you experienced from your last relationship, so you can't fully give yourself to me. But when you realize that I truly love you, and would never hurt you, you start trusting and loving me too." Harry finishes silently and his eyes have turned glossy by now.
"Wow," Louis looks him genuinely in the eyes. "That literally gave me chills, Harry, that was beautiful."
"Thank you," Harry smiles a little looking at the floor they're sitting on. "And then I was thinking that we use a lift to symbolize the trust, so we can't do it, but then in the end, when you do trust me, we do it and it's a happy ending."
"I love that, Harry, let's do it."
"Really?" Harry says with uncertainty as if he didn't just have the most brilliant idea.
"Harry, that was fantastic, we need to do it." Louis says this because he means it, of course, but also because of what he heard Harry thinking. He needs to have the happy ending and if this is what it takes to give him it, then Louis will happily do it.
"Okay," Harry smiles, dimples showing, a little more confident this time. "What song should we use?"
After thinking a little Louis thinks of a song that would match the idea. "What about 'Fire on Fire' by Sam Smith?"
"Yeah, that's great!" Harry seems so excited and it makes Louis' heart flutter.
Harry and Louis don't get much further than that before Mrs. Hayes walk into the room and announces that class is over. The two boys agree on meeting in the dance practice room after school to start on the dance.

Louis meets up with Zayn at lunch and they find a table in the cafeteria. As expected from an art school it's pretty noisy. Louis tries finding Harry at lunch, wanting to offer him a seat at their table, but can't seem to find him in the cafeteria.
"How was dance?" Zayn questions smirking because he knows how much Louis hates it.
"It was okay actually. We got an assignment to choreograph a dance in pairs and I was put up with Harry Styles." Louis smiles. Maybe this way, he will learn to like dance a little more.
"Who?"
"He's new, I met him in the hallway earlier and helped him to class." Louis says happily.
"Oh wow, you're so smitten." Zayn teases and Louis rolls his eyes and punches Zayn's shoulder.
"Am not!"
"Right." Zayn says, clearly not convinced. And he might be right.
"Anyway, I can't meet up after school, Harry and I are practicing our dance." Louis says sheepishly because he knows Zayn will tease him even more now. And Zayn does exactly that.
-
After school is finally over, Louis' last class being math, which he obviously hated, Louis makes his way to the dance classroom. He finds Harry already there, and Louis, without even thinking about it, transports into Harry's mind as he greets him.
"Finally, I've been looking forward to this all day. I can't wait to dance with him."
Louis' heart warms up at the words and he smiles at the ground as he makes his way to Harry. "Do you have some clothes that's a little more loose with you that you can dance in?" Louis asks to which Harry nods and motions to a plastic bag next to him.
"Great, I'll just go get changed then and you can do the same."
Louis goes to the nearest bathroom and changes, knowing well that he won't be able to control himself if he sees Harry changing. He can only imagine the body the curly-haired has.
When Louis is done changing he walks back into the room where Harry is changed as well. He's wearing loose great sweatpants - you know what they say about those - and a black t-shirt, while Louis is in workout shorts and a tank top. Despite being small, Louis is pretty fit and tank tops have always been very flattering on him.
"Oh wow, could've given me a heart attack. How does he manage to look that good? Shit, he's fit as well. I can't handle this."
The fangirling from Harry never gets boring and it has Louis' stomach doing twirls every time.
"Let's get started then." Louis smiles and claps his hands together.

I can't stop writing on this, but I have plans that I really should start getting ready for lol. Anyway, hope you liked third chapter as well.
This story will be rather short since there's not a lot to do with it, so I hope that's okay.
Byeee.
