it's been a week since louis slept over.

a week since louis started being nice to harry.

a week since harry was beginning to not be afraid of louis.

but it felt like more.

louis had come over to harry's house after school to hang with him three afternoons in a row, he had been sitting down with him every morning and afternoon on the school bus since monday and every lunch hour this week he had been glued to harry's side.

and it just seemed weird to liam and niall. seeing louis so close to harry. especially after seeing how horrible louis would treat him.

niall more-so thought he had been replaced and was no longer harry's best friend. harry no longer sat with him during the bus ride so he just assumed harry found a new best friend. and he wasn't happy about it.

"are we still friends, harry?" niall questions him when harry approaches him during lunch hour. harry, liam and niall were always the first to be released as they were a year (harry being two years) below louis' age group. so they got a little more extended lunch break.

harry was taken back by the question and nods furiously, "uh huh."

"you stopped talking to me," niall frowns, "i'm your best friend not louis."

"louis 's not my best 'riend," harry mumbles, "he's just a 'riend."

that made niall feel better and liam just watched smiling realizing he didn't have to worry about being replaced either as louis' best friend.

"harry!" louis yells from the doors of the school that lead to the playground.

"louis!" harry squealed, happy to see his nice friend again.

niall watches as louis runs towards them and immediately pulls away harry from them. liam and niall just stare as louis began to chat away to harry as they walked together to the swing sets to which louis had commented in the past were for babies. well, guess he is one now, niall thought.

"i got these cool superman shoes that lights up and everything!" bragged the six year old. harry's eyes widened at the mention of shoes that lights up. he had been begging anne for a power rangers one he had seen in the store but she just said it just wasn't in their budget.

"i 'anna see!" harry excited days and watched as louis runs circles around him to make his shoes light up. harry jumped up and down with joy, happy to see the shoes in action.

"i wish i 'ad one," harry sighs, "but maybe for my 'irthday... it's soon!"

"oh yeah, you're turning five," louis remembers. of course though it was months away which immediately brought an idea to louis.

he didn't wanna give the surprise away though so he quickly changed the subject and began talking about his birthday instead which was only a few weeks away.

"i'm going to be seven and it'll be a superhero party," louis explains, "oh and we have to dress up."

"are 'ou going to be superman?"

louis nods and tells him that he already had the outfit and that jay had picked it out for him.

"you should dress up as superman too," louis says, "then we can match!"
