Maybe I Even Love You - Larry Stylingson

Chapter 10 - Injury

*Louis' POV*

I'm waking up, but I don't remember falling asleep... that's weird. How'd I get here?

I slowly ease open my eyes to see that I am half curled-up on one of the beanbags, and the other boys are playing on one of the games consoles, it looks like Mario Kart or something.

Harry is lounging comfortably in the beanbag next to me, whilst the three other boys are on the sofa, spread out and relaxed.

I realise that there is a blue controller near me as if I was playing, but I don't remember doing so. Wait... headache? Have I got a hangover? Did I drink or something?

"Haz..." I say, unable to think of anything else.

"Hm? Lou... you're awake." He said with a smile, taking his eyes away from the telly to look at me.

"What happened? I don't remember anything..."

"You were being an idiot, that's what happened." Said Zayn bluntly.

"Hey..." retorted Harry, "Don't say that."

"But he was."

"No. He wasn't. It was my fault, I'm sorry Lou. We were goofing around and you were laying on the back of the sofa and the plane wobbled a bit and you fell off. I should've caught you, you must've hit your head." He said eagerly as he put his controller down and bought me into a tight hug.

"It wasn't your fault, Haz. It really wasn't. And don't argue with me about that, I was being stupid if I was up there." I reassured him by hugging back and patting him on the back.

"Fine. But I hope you're okay, the emergency nurse that Simon hired for us said you should be fine, but I'm still worried."

"Of course, only Simon to hire us a nurse, like really? I bet if we go to her saying we're sick she'll just give us a glass of water and an ice pack." Niall added sarcastically.

I heard laughter, but I was too tired to join in,
I just felt like going to sleep right now.

"I'm going to have a nap, wake me up when we land."

"We've only got about ten minutes until we start our descent, boys, so you may as well sit in the seat belted seats now." Said Kevin as he just came back from speaking to the pilot.

"Alright then." I said, trying to get up but suddenly realising my head really hurt, and giving up, sinking back into the comfy beanbag, "Haz... help us get up will ya?"

*Zayn's POV*

We are midway through our descent and back in the previous seats, I'm sat here with my earphones in, trying to drown out the noise of the jets and Niall's laughter. Like c'mon, Liam's jokes are literally shit.

Whilst they're busy having an apparently hilarious conversation about the holiday, Harry has his earphones in and looks like he might fall asleep any minute, the full weight of his head resting on his hand, and the full weight of Louis' head resting on his shoulder, but he doesn't seem to mind.

I have a feeling there's something going on between those two, I know they're best friends and they live together and everything, but there seems to be more than just a friendly bond, though I'm not sure they even realise it themselves.

All of a sudden my thoughts are interrupted by the loud voice of the pilot through the intercom. "About five minutes to landing guys."

Louis managed to stay asleep, Harry's eyes snapping open and looking around him, I guess he did fall asleep then. Then, his eyes lock with mine and I give him a smirk and look from him to Louis. He furrows his eyebrows and looks confused, though I know he knows what I mean.

I just shake my head and scroll through my phone, seeing how the fans are doing.

*Louis' POV*

I woke up to Harry gently saying my name and shaking my shoulder ever so slightly, he was so polite about it, god I love him.

"Hmm..?" I said, my eyes still closed.

"We're landing, Louis, wake up." He whispered into my ear.

"I don't.. wanna...." I said sleepily, genuinely not wanting to get up, because a) I'm really tired, and b) I don't wanna get off Hazza's shoulder.

Harry huffed and said "Fine." Before putting his right arm around me and holding me closer to him, putting his own head on top of mine. "I'm tired too, I just can't sleep anywhere like you can." He whispered with a chuckle, so quietly that only I could hear.

I heard Harry's phone ding, but he ignored it,
I guess he knew who it would be. I dunno.
