Hey Partner

(harry and louis' outfits above!)

Louis' p.o.v.

I woke up the next morning beyond excited to see Harry. I quickly got up when my alarm went off the first time which was rather unusual for me, but Harry made me excited to be at school. I looked through my closet trying my best to come up with an outfit that was well put together and looked like I didn't put in any effort but also looks extremely good.

I never cared this much about how I dressed, but after seeing Harry in the coffee shop yesterday, I felt a little pressure to dress well. I settled on a white t-shirt with a black graphic design on it, black skinny jeans, and a light jean jacket on top. I looked in the mirror quite satisfied with myself before brushing my teeth and fixing my hair. I texted the lads and my girlfriend to let them know that I'll take us today. They all agreed and I got into my car picking them all up. We made our usual coffee stop but today I order an extra iced coffee for Harry today.

"Louis, we only need four iced coffees mate." Liam pointed out. I rolled my eyes.

"No shit Liam," I laughed. "I'm tired today so I want two." I lied.

I felt ashamed that I was lying about why I was ordering an extra coffee. Harry was my secret and that was extremely disheartening. I couldn't bring myself to forget my reputation; it was hard. Liam accepted my answer which was a huge relief and we got to school. I walked Eleanor to her locker with the lads like we always did. Having two coffees, I couldn't hold Eleanor's hand today which made me kinda sad. This gift I wanted to give Harry is preventing me from holding my girlfriends hand. It felt extremely messed up.

"Hey El, I need to discuss an extension for my art project with my teacher so I'm going to head there." I gave her quick kiss and she smiled giving me an 'okay' before I left. Niall told me he'd meet me there because he promised Lillian he'd walk her to class. Ever since we played truth or dare, he and Lillian have been really good. I'm glad I did that for him.

I walked into the art room to see Harry painting away. He was so focused. His lips were slightly together and his eyebrows furred. I loved his cute face when he was painting. I scanned this rest of him observing his outfit and my jaw dropped. He was still in nice trousers, a button up, and a sweater of some sorts, but today was different. His shirt was slightly unbuttoned at the top and his sleeves were rolled up showing a small collection of the art he had on his arms. I was astonished looking at him. He looked so incredible.

"Are you just going to stare at me all class, Tomlinson?" Harry asked me with a cheeky smirk on his face. I blushed a little embarrassed that he had caught me staring a him.

"Well I wouldn't mind," I winked. "I actually wanted to bring you some coffee... as a uh thank you for yesterday, mate." I walked over to him handing him the coffee. He smiled.

"Thank you. You really didn't have to." He took a sip giggling a little.

"I wanted to. I like the outfit today. It's very bold of you and it compliments your tattoos." I told him. He began to jokingly pose making me laugh.

"Why thank you! I decided maybe I should try dressing outside of my comfort zone." He looked at his feet blushing a little nervous.

"Well it was a good choice." I reassured him. He hugged me tight which I would normally love, but it made me nervous. Class was getting close to starting and anyone could walk in. I didn't hug back very well and he tensed before awkwardly pulling away. He looked hurt and a little upset. "Harry I'm sorry I don't mean to-" he put a hand up in front of my face signalling me to stop. I sighed feeling insanely stupid. He went back to painting and treated me like I wasn't there. It hurt a lot and for the first time I began to understand how Harry must feel everyday.
