Kiss Of Fame | Larry Stylinson

18. Dinner 'Date'

When the time comes Louis makes his way over to Harry his place. He is excited to see Harry again.
He rings the doorbell and a happy Harry greets him with a hug. "It's good to see you again, Lou."
"Yeah, it's nice to see you again." Louis chuckles.
They walk inside and Harry goes back to the kitchen. "Food is almost ready." Louis follows him and watches him cook. "Get out! I don't want you to see it yet."
Louis laughs. "Wanna keep it a mystery, huh?"
"Get out of me kitchen!" Harry says and he then pushes Lou out.

Louis waits patiently as Harry does the finishes touches on the food. He walks in with the food and places it on the table. Louis looks at him as he places it.
Harry sits down at the table and looks back at Louis. "Just so you know,  I am not the best cook."
"It is probably better than my food. I am not good."
Harry laughs. "We will see."
They both start to eat. "You know," Louis says. "I imagined it being worse. It is really not that bad. Or I will fall dead in a second. Who knows?"
Harry laughs and keeps eating. "Who knows?"

"El was so done with me," Louis says. "She wanted to meet up with my manager and leave."
"Really?" Harry asks surprised. "How come?"
"Fans kept annoying her online. It sucked."
"Yeah, that really sucks. Is she getting hate now?"
"I don't know. Should I ask her?"
"You should."
So Louis takes out his phone and he texts Eleanor asking how bad the hate is. To which she replies with a screenshot of her Instagram feed being spammed with comments of fans being rude. 

"It's bad. I should say something," Louis says. He tweets out on twitter to stop giving Eleanor hate because she doesn't deserve it and how disappointed he is in them.
"How bad?" Harry asks.
"Really, really bad. I just tweeted how disappointed I am in the fans to hopefully make them stop."
"That's good of you."
Louis texts back El that he is sorry about this and tweeted his fans to stop. He puts his phone back down. "Breakup sucks."
"I can imagine. Especially with someone, you dated for years."
"I thought I would marry this girl at one point. But now it changed and I am almost over her which I never thought I would. You know what I am saying?"

"Yes and no," Harry says. "I've never thought of someone like that."
"Really?" Louis is surprised to hear that.
"I've never dated someone for a long time."
He nods. "Fair enough."
"What did you do with your family?" Harry says to change the topic. 
"First I caught up with them. The twins wanted me to have a karaoke party with me every week and the whole family. That was really fun. We also did boardgames. Baked a bit, did terribly." He smiles while telling him.
"That does sound fun."
"Fun times."

"How many siblings do you have?" Harry asks.
"6," Louis says. "Used to be 7.."
"I am so sorry to hear that."
"Fizzy used to be my best friend. We were really really close. Miss her every day. Same with mum."
Harry nods. "Yeah, I can imagine that. I am sorry you had to experience that."
Louis shrugs again. "I learned to live with it. That's all I can do."
"Indeed."
"What about you? Got any siblings?"
"I have a sister named Gemma," he says.
"Are you guys close?"
He nods. "We are, we are." 
"That's good."

After dinner, they still have an hour a half to pass so they clean the kitchen. "What was the last thing you had to set straight?" Harry asks.
"Oh- Eh-," Louis panics. "Doesn't matter."
"You sure?" 
Louis nods. "Yeah." 
"Alright then." Harry doesn't believe him but he doesn't want to push it. He checks his phone and sees Niall sent him a selfie with Liam. "Want to take a selfie for Niall and Liam?"
"Sure!" Louis walks closer to him while still holding a pan. He smiles big as he holds up the pan as he is hitting Harry. He makes a shocked face as he snaps the picture. He laughs and sends it.
"Show me the pic," Louis says who is now behind Harry. He shows him the pic and Lou laughs. "Send it to me."
"Of course." He sends it to him. 

They finish cleaning and then chill on the couch again. Louis realizes he needs to respond to his manager still so he opens the text. 'You're never going to openly date a boy!' He reads. His smile drops and he looks at it a few seconds more.
"What's wrong?" Harry asks. He noticed his smile drop.
"My manager texted me." Louis sighs. "I can never openly date a guy."
"Did he randomly text you that?"
"At the meeting, he asked me if I like you." He stops for a second, thinking if he should be 100% honest. "And I said Probably to annoy him and then walked away."
"And was that the truth?"
Louis thinks again. "Dunno. I probably really hate you because I ruined my relationship." He is joking.
Harry doesn't catch on to that. "Are you serious right now?" It hurt him.
"No," Louis says. "I am kidding!"
"Okay."

"Haz, for real, I am kidding. I am sorry if I hurt you with that," Louis says.
"It's fine. Don't bother."
"Harry," he says softly and sits next to him. He wraps his arms around him.
"I told you it's fine." He starts to grin and pulls him on his lap. 
Lou didn't expect that so he squeaks. It makes Harry laughs.
"Where did you do that for?" Lou asks.
Harry shrugs. "I don't know."
He laughs and stays on his lap. He checks his phone again and a lot of fans are showing their support on his tweet. He checks El her insta and sees it calmed down. He replies to a recent hater 'not cool' before leaving it again. "What time is it?"
"6:30. Wanna go soon?"
"Sure."
