"And do you think I would have better things to do?" Harry asks him. Louis giggles into his hands and tucks himself further into the duvet. He can hear Harry laugh softly too. Harry shouldn't be up this late, he even knows that. "If I fall asleep in maths tomorrow, I'm going to blame you."

"Please, you're the one that's making yourself stay."

"I could leave any minute." Louis can hear his smirk appear. "I could do the whole, no you hang up first dealie thing and we could stay on the phone for the next two hours just convincin' each other to hang up."

"You know, after a few rounds of that I would actually hang up on you," Louis giggles. Harry frowns on the other line and gives a small whimper. "Don't act like it isn't what you want. You need sleep, love."

"I can skip tomorrow--"

"Harry," Louis says sternly. "You know that isn't the right thing to do. Your finals are in a month. You need all this time to study hard and get the best grades you can," he warns. "I don't want to you to miss out on your opportunity to go to Uni."

"It's only one day."

"And you know, it might be the day that counts," Louis tells. Harry's about to speak again but Louis cuts him off quickly. "I don't care if you're sleepy tomorrow, you're going. You might just pick something up and it might be handy for your exams."

Harry groans and tosses around in his bed. "I hate you."

"Yeah, okay, love you too," Louis smiles. "Promise me you'll go tomorrow?"

Harry's very quiet for a moment and then moans, "Louuuu."

"I'll call you straight after school tomorrow," Louis says. "My friends are taking a trip out of town while the weather's still a bit warm. I'll be alone here so I'll talk to you all night if I have to."

Harry smiles at that. "All right."

"Miss you."

"Love you, Lou Lou."

"Christmas is coming up, I'll see you soon," Louis says, finally hanging up the phone and staring at the screen. Fucking three hours and 34 minutes they talked on the phone for. Fuck. The time passes quickly.

And it has. The past four months have probably been the fastest Louis has ever experienced. Always seems to go fast with Harry, God knows why. Harry calls him almost every single night, the nights he doesn't usually is because he's out or had just fallen asleep early. Both had made the effort to keep in contact and it's only leading them back to the path where they once started, as best friends.

They're so updated on each other, as a matter of fact, that it seems like as if none of the no contact back in July, for that entire year, didn't actually happen. Everything feels so normal and casual, and Louis should see that as abnormal. But he doesn't. He's never felt his heart connect so strongly with Harry in his life, and they're two hours apart. But only a phone call away.

Harry's got his finals in the few up coming weeks and it's nearing December so soon, which means Louis is allowed to go back for his break and spend time with Harry back in town. He might spend Christmas with all the Styles'; it sounds so wonderfully great in Louis' mind already. He can't wait to see Harry, kiss Harry, hug Harry.

He's leaving Sammy for a little while, but he doesn't need to know. They're just best friends. They might be friends with benefits but that doesn't restrict Louis from seeing Harry. Sammy's probably got some plans for his holiday too, so that's fine with Louis. There's nothing to it but casual sex, some really, really good casual sex.
