My Habit from This Town

20) You & I

Song for this chapter is You & I by One Direction ;P

**Louis' P.O.V**

"I'm in love with Louis. And I don't care that he doesn't feel the same way about me. I would pick him over you any day." Harry responds. I then hear the door open and slam shut. I look up and see tears running down his face.

Without saying anything, I get up, cup my hands around his cheeks and crash my lips onto his. It takes him a moment to register what is happening before he starts to kiss back. When we pull away, I wipe the tears from under his eyes.

"Please tell me you didn't hear what I said to Ethan. I don't want things to be awkward between us." He begins to ramble. I place my finger to his lips.

"I love you too Haz."

We spent the rest of the day together, as per usual, but something felt different. As if all this unknown tension had been lifted. We spent the day celebrating his birthday with everyone else, and his mum came, with his sister. I've never seen Harry so happy to see somebody. I wish I had that relationship with my sisters, but they treat me too delicately now. It makes it almost awkward to be around them.

We ended the day with Harry just opening some gifts, including the boots I got him. I've never seen somebody to happy over a pair of shoes. But I loved the way his eyes lit up and his dimples caved into his face as he saw them.

We went to bed as normal that night, but I couldn't sleep. Harry and I hadn't actually spoken about what our kiss this morning meant. Were we together? Did he want to forget it? Do we go back to our normal selves, just as friends? I decided I couldn't handle not knowing, so I text him, so if he was sleeping, I didn't wake him.

To Hazzy:
Hey Haz. I don't know if you are asleep. It's too dark to tell. I didn't want to wake you if you were by I can't sleep. I keep thinking about our kids. We haven't spoken about what it means. I'm just stressing out because, like you said, I don't want things to be awkward between us now.

I saw his phone light up next to him, and he immediately grabbed it.

From Hazzy:
Hey Lou. I also cannot sleep. It's running through my mind. What do you want to happen, between you & I? I know what I want but it's up to you

Great. Now all the pressure is on me. Of course I want a relationship with him. And I think he wants one back. But what if he doesn't? He has never actually said he wants one. What if I say something and he doesn't want it back? But why would he give me the power if he didn't? I was going to take my shot.

To Hazzy:
I think I want a relationship with you.

I sent it. It was too late to go back now.

"Well then. Louis William Tomlinson. Will you be my boyfriend?" He asks aloud from his bed next to me, scaring me a little.

"Of course I will." I reply.

"Come and give me a cuddle?" He asks unexpectedly. I get out of bed, get into his and he spoons me as we fall asleep. I don't think I've felt this happy in a while, and I never want this feeling to end.
