Someone take me home - One Direction reunion fanfic

5. If only

Disclaimer: I just wanted to clarify again, that this is a pure work of fiction. I included certain couples/friendships/situations in this fic because I personally think that they are really cute and that it would be nice to have them in the story. However, I love and respect the 1D members with all my heart. I don't care who they are dating, as long as it makes them happy :).

Louis was sitting on his teracce, watching the stunning sunset. It painted the skyline of London in a bright orange. He smiled and took another puff on his cigarette. This was the most beautiful thing he had seen in a while.

"Wow, this is amazing", a voice whispered behind him.

Louis flinched.
"Goddamn it Elevator, you scared the shit out of me! Why do you always appear out of nowhere?!"

"Elevator?", the brunette female asked amused while sitting down on the chair next to him.

Louis grinned. "Yeah, Elevator. It's your name now. Get used to it."

She chuckled and nudged him slightly in the shoulder.
"Okay, okay. But why though?"

"Olly and I were texting the other night and I told him about our shopping trip. And my autocorrect kept changing Eleanor to Elevator. It was fooking hilarios. It was like: 'Yeah and then Elevator bought that really ugly blue shirt."

"That shirt isn't ugly!"

"It makes you look like some kind of weird nurse, Elevator."

They looked at each other and burst out laughing.

When they both had calmed down, they fell into a confortable silence, watching the sky slowly becoming darker.

"You know, this isn't too bad, actually", Eleanor said after a while.

"What? Your new name?"

She rolled her eyes.
"No, Lou. I mean you and me. What we have now. Like, thinking about having to marry you used to scare the shit out of me, you know?"

"Wow, thank you, Elevator."

Eleanor just rolled her eyes and continued her speech: "But no it's like... You're my best friend. We became a such good team over the last few years."

He smiled fondly at her.
"Hell yeah, we did!"

"I'm not afraid anymore, Lou. If they want us to marry each other, then okay, why not? We can make this work, can't we?"

Louis nodded. "Of course we can. That's what we always do, Elevator."

She giggled and put her head on his shoulders. Louis sighed and played with a lock of her soft brown hair.

It went silent again. But it lastet only for a short while, before Eleanor spoke up again: "We should go back to this club that we went yesterday as soon as possible. Maybe that hot guy is there again! He was literally undressing you with his eyes last time. It was such a shame that you didn't..."

"Elevator, no!"
Louis hit her slighlty in the head.
"I can't just hook up with a random guy, you know that. It's to risky. What if he tells someone? Imagine if the press would find out! Oh my God,  management would probably run me over with a bus."

Eleanor started to laugh.

"I think it's incredibly disappointing that you find the the thought of me being run over by a bus funny."
Louis playfully crossed his arms.

"Nooo", she snorted.
"It's just, I imagined Simon Cowshit in your old 1D tourbus. Like, beep, beep, bitch, you're dead!"

"What the fook is going on in your brain". Louis rolled his eyes. But her weird thoughts actually made him think about something.
