Harry grunts softly as he feels a heavy weight on top of him, blinking his eyes open quickly to find his face pressed into Louis' chest. He whines softly pulling his arms from his sides wrapping them around Louis' small waist.

"Lou.." Harry groans attempting to push the taller boy off but fails miserably. A small pout on his lips, his body was trapped under Louis'. A few minutes of Harry squirming under Louis, the older boy was finally waking up, scrunching his face and rolling off once he realized he was on top of Harry.

"How did you end up on top of me?" Harry huffs turning to look at Louis who still had his eyes closed and he seemed to be trying to fall back asleep.

A small grin starts to grow on his lips before he opens his eyes, turning to Harry.

"Because I'm the top" Harry's jaw drops at the unexpected response before blushing and playfully rolling his eyes. He giggles and crawls on top of Louis, placing his chin on Louis' hard chest.

"Look who the top is now" Harry grins before sitting up and straddling Louis' stomach. Louis raises an eyebrow, amusing the boy by pouting his lip.

"Oh yeah?"

"Mhm" Harry smiles innocently his small hands reaching for Louis' hands and holding them beside his head.

"Gotcha"

"Oh no. What ever will I do?" Louis sighs dramatically, smirking up at his baby who seemed to be feeling a lot better. Harry grins in victory before letting go of his wrists slowly laying back down next to the older boy.

"Too easy" Harry shrugs "what time is it?"

"Time for cuddles" Louis pulls Harry back on top of him, covering his face in kisses. Harry squeaks softly before shaking his head and standing up grabbing Louis' hand.

"Come on, I'm hungry" Harry tugs Louis to his feet. Louis rolls his eyes playfully but follows him downstairs, the house was empty his mum already back at work leaving just the two boys.

Louis groans softly once Harry drops his hand. He leans forward and quickly wraps his arms around Harry's waist lifting him up. He quickly lets go once Harry whimpers softly in pain.

"I'm sorry, I forgot!" Louis quickly apologizes, grabbing Harry's face and pressing kissing all over causing the younger boy to smile.

"It's okay" Harry giggles grabbing Louis' wrists gently. Louis sighs softly but keeps his frown.

"I didn't mean to hurt you, I don't wann-"

"Louis, Louis" Harry laughs covering the taller boys mouth with one of his hands. "I am okay, I promise. Calm down" Harry finally removes his hand away and replaces it with his lips. Louis hums and wraps his arms around his boys small waist holding him close but keeping his grip loose.

"I'm sorry for everything I put you through on my own behalf and Joslyns" Louis tucks his face in Harry's neck his eyes filling back up with tears. Harry pulls away once he hears Louis sniffling, frowning as he notices the tears.

"Hey, please don't cry. I told you it's okay just because we're taking it slow doesn't mean I hate you or anything"

"But I hurt-"

"Stop it" Harry says calmly cupping Louis' face and kissing him again softly. "We're going to be okay, I forgive you but I can't just jump into a relationship. I want you- but I just want to take some time right now, even more so because of the accident"

"I will wait, I would wait forever for you if I had to. I know we haven't known each other very long but-"

"Please" Harry cuts him off "Don't say you love me"

"I wasn't going to" Louis tries to ignore the hurt he felt when Harry said that. Louis walks over and sits down on the couch rubbing his hands over his thighs, sighing softly.

"I was going to say that I've grown some strong feelings for you-" Louis begins his pathetic lie.

"No, Louis" Harry shakes his head walking over to Louis "I don't want you growing strong feelings and getting your hopes up, we don't even know where things may go with us" Harry sits next to Louis, who turns to look at him confused.

"So you don't even think we could be anything serious?"

"I don't know, Louis. I cheated on my girlfriend with her step-brother, my girlfriend cheated on me with another girl. And in the same day I was told I was being cheated on, I was in a car wreck" Harry takes a deep breath "So I'm sorry if I'm not comfortable jumping right into a relationship with you" Harry stands up running his hands through his hair.

"I think you should go, Louis" Louis scoffs standing up as well.

"Really? So because I admit my feelings for you I get pushed away?" Louis steps closer to Harry who in return only backs further away.

"I just need space, Louis. I don't want you to get your hopes up and then be disappointed if it doesn't turn out the way you want" Harry lowers his voice to a more calm tone.

"My hopes weren't high at all. I was surprised you were even talking to me after finding out" Louis rolls his eyes walking over to the door where his shoes were resting.

"Really-" Louis cuts Harry off, not even caring what he had to say.

"In fact, I'm surprised you were so f.ucking oblivious to Jos cheating, she always wanted to be with Kristen. That girls trip? It was just an easy excuse so she could go and f.uck Kristen without you bothering her! But you're so f.ucking naive that you didn't even notice" Louis screams his face turning red. Harry gasps loudly, tears quickly forming in his eyes.

"You a.sshole! I was busy with you! Since you couldn't take no for an answer even after you knew that I was with your sister you wouldn't stop!" Harry shouts right back letting his tears fall down his cheeks.

"Fine! I will leave you alone huh? Since you don't know what you f.ucking want I will leave" And before Harry could say anything Louis was slamming the door shut. Harry chokes on a sob watching Louis leave, placing his hand over his mouth and falling back onto the couch squeezing his eyes shut.

He didn't love Louis. It shouldn't hurt this bad.
