The X Factor

Chapter 1-Audition

"Oops!"

Louis looked down at his shoe that the boy beside him at the urinals just splashed with pee. Then he looked at the boy again and his face broke out in a smile. The boy looked utterly embarrassed and stared at him with wide eyes. They were emerald green. He had brown, curly hair and he was just the cutest boy he'd ever seen.
"Hi!"

"I'm so sorry! You startled me. I can't believe I did that." The boy managed to get out and bit his lower lip with blushed cheeks.

Louis started to giggle.
"It's okay curly."

Harry tucked himself back in his pants and ran to the sink to get some paper towels. He leaned down and started to wipe Louis' shoe. Louis was glad that he was done at the urinals and had just put his dick back in his pants otherwise this would be even more embarrassing.
"Do you want me to buy you new shoes?" The boy asked and stood up again.

"Naah, It will be me lucky charm." Louis grinned.

They walked over to the sinks to wash their hands. Louis couldn't stop looking at the beautiful boy. He was sure that he had seen him somewhere before.
"What's your name curly?"

"Harry Styles."

That name sounded familiar. Louis' eyes grew wide when it clicked.
"Wait a minute! Battle of The Bands last year! You're the singer in White Eskimo."

Harry smiled brightly, popping dimples in both cheeks and Louis just stared at him in awe.
"Yeah, I didn't think you'd remember me. You beat us there. You were great!"

"So it was a revenge pee on my shoe?" Louis smirked.

"What? No! That was totally an accident." Harry protested with eyes wide open and blushed cheeks.

"I'm just messing with you. I'm Louis Tomlinson." Louis said with a smile.

They had washed and dried their hands and were just standing there looking at each other.
"Hi, Louis. Nice to meet you." Harry answered softly, popping both dimples again.

They started to walk towards the exit together.
"What song are you singing for your audition?" Louis asked.

"Uhm, Isn't She Lovely by Stevie Wonder. I'm really nervous."

They stopped as soon as they came out of the bathroom and turned to look at each other again.
"Don't be nervous. You'll do great. You're gonna get through. I just know it. You're a star, Harry!"

"I don't know about that but thanks, Louis. I'm sure you'll get through as well." Harry beamed.

"You know what?" Louis said and searched his pockets and found a pen and a piece of paper. "Here, give me your autograph. You need to practice until you get famous and I can brag about being the first one who got it." Louis grinned.

Harry rolled his eyes with a smile but wrote his signature on the piece of paper, using Louis' back to be able to write. He handed it over and Louis put it in his pocket with a wink.
"I need a photo as well."

He pulled out his phone and they put their heads closer together and smiled so Louis could take a picture. Louis put his phone back in his pocket and smiled at Harry.
"I'll have to go back to me mum. Good luck. I'll make sure to watch your audition."

"Yeah, I'll watch yours too. It was nice to meet you. Good luck and I'm really sorry I peed on you." Harry said and blushed again.

"I'm glad I was...stood next to you at the urinals. If I had to get someone's pee splashed on me, I'd much rather have your pee than his pee." Louis said with a grin and tilted his head to a middle-aged guy who just came out from the bathroom.

Harry giggled and Louis gave him a quick hug before he walked away. Harry watched him leave. Louis was such a nice boy and he had amazing blue eyes and a wonderful smile. Harry hoped that they both would get through so he could see him again. He should have asked for his number!

He returned to his family and waited for his turn to go on stage. He was so nervous. Louis came into the waiting area all of a sudden and Harry could help but smile. Louis was looking around like he was searching for something but as soon as their eyes met he started to smile and gave Harry a thumbs up. Oh, he was looking for him? Harry waved at him before someone handed him a microphone and told him to get on stage. His mum hugged him and after one last glance at the beautiful boy, Harry took a deep, shaky breath and walked out on stage.

He didn't remember much of it afterward but at least he got through. He'd never been happier. Louis came running up to him and hugged him.
"You smashed it!"

Harry smiled brightly.
"You will too. I'm gonna stay and watch, okay?"

"Yeah? Great! You're me lucky charm curly." Louis beamed.

They small talked until it was Louis' turn to hit the stage. Harry watched behind the curtains, anxious that Louis wouldn't get through. He did well. He could hear that he was nervous but he charmed the judges with his version of Delilah and Louis came running to him as soon as he got off stage. Harry hugged him and they jumped around in excitement.
"I did it!" Louis cheered.

"I knew you would. You're amazing Louis!" Harry praised and Louis blushed.

"So, I guess I'll see you at camp?" Louis said shyly.

"Yeah. Bye Louis." Harry answered happily and was about to head over to his family who was waving for him to get going.

"Wait! Ehm, do you wanna exchange numbers?" Louis asked, sounding nervous.

"I'd love to!" Harry pulled out his phone and handed it to Louis who put his number in and called himself so he would get Harry's number as well.

Louis gave him his phone back.
"Bye curly. I'll text. Okay?"

Harry nodded his head with a shy smile. He turned around before he walked out with his family just to find Louis looking at him. He waved goodbye and Louis did the same. He really hoped he would get a chance to get to know the beautiful boy. Maybe they could be friends?
