The Pizza Boy- Larry Au

Kevin and Sherbert

Louis groaned as he heard the front door open and a voice he knew far too well singing 'Tear in My Heart' By twenty one pilots.

"Sometimes you gotta bleed to know that you're alive and have a soul" Zayn screamed and it echoed through the house like magic.

Louis sighed as he opened his eyes and frowned deeply when he saw the empty space beside him. His heart actually felt like it sank. He wanted to wake up the Curly haired boy in his arms and he wanted to stay like that forever.

Now that Louis recalled the previous night, he realized that Harry never even climbed In bed with him. He just left, like it meant nothing and yeah Louis realized it did mean nothing. It was just a hookup. Just a hookup like all of the other hookups.

But this didn't feel like just a hookup. Louis thought maybe Harry would want to stay with him and be in his arms forever but why would he wanna do that?

This is reality and reality is you can't expect a one night stand to be anything more than a one night stand.

Louis rubbed his eyes and didn't allow the tears prickled at his waterline to ever flow down his face. Honestly he wasn't even sure why this mattered so much to him.

He had been a part of hundreds of one night stands and usually the guy would leave before Louis woke up and Louis never cared until now.

He didn't know why he cared so much. He didn't know why those sweet emerald eyes were stuck in his mind like a broken record. He didn't know why all he wanted was to hold that tall curly haired boy so much but he knew that he did and it was physically hurting him inside to not be able to.

Louis wiped away a single tear that managed to roll down his cheek and stumbled into the living room where Zayn was cooking eggs and bacon while still jamming away to 'Tear in my Heart' unaware of Louis' presence.

He heard Louis cough and smiled. "Oh my god Lou, you'll never guess who I met last night. He has the cutest big brown eyes and softest brown hair and his name is Lia-...Louis are you ok?!" He interrupted himself after seeing Louis breakdown crying.

Louis sniffled, covering his face out of embarrassment. Louis hardly ever cried. Infact he can only recall crying as a kid and when he broke his leg at 18 and when he lost his mother just a year ago. It was so rare that Zayn was dropping the spatula in his hand and rushing over to his best friend's side, enveloping him a huge warm hug.

"What happened Lou?" He asked sweetly, holding Louis tight. Louis sniffled, as tears rolled down the side of Zayn's jacket.

"H-he left. Harry left and I didn't want him to leave a-and I don't know why I care so much because I-it was just another fuck but I miss him and I need him and I-I want to hold him again" Louis sobbed into Zayn's chest, and he felt so weak. So weak for feeling human emotions toward another human because that was new to him. The only people he cared about were his family, Zayn and himself and he felt something so new when he was with Harry and it honestly scared him a lot.

"Louis, awe you're falling in love" Zayn said tenderly, grabbing his chest in proudness and Louis scoffed. "I am not falling in love, dumbass" he squeaked, wiping away the left over tears from his face and flipping Zayn off.

"Well Lou Lou, I think you are beginning to and I'm honestly so proud, boo bear. I knew one day you could develop human emotions and not be a heartless jerk" Zayn teased, poking Louis' cheek lovingly.

"Shut it, Zaynie. I don't love him" Louis argued although he cracked a small smile.

"I know you don't want to admit it because you're mr. 'Macho man' but it's ok to feel that way. It's normal and I think you should go find that Harry boy because I can tell that you care a lot about him and you should go prove that to him" Zayn said, patting louis on the back motivationally.
