Louis is lying on Liam's couch and he wishes he could stay in that position forever.
It's a boring Tuesday afternoon, one of those days when he just wants to do absolutely nothing, only stay in bed eating everything but healthy food. Or even better: wake up, take a shower and go back to sleep.
Simple but effective.
He's staring at the ceiling without seeing it for real, because yes, his eyes are open but his mind is elsewhere, thinking about how last month flew by so fast. And, to be fair, a big part of it was spent in this exact position. Okay, maybe he doesn't spend every evening lying on Liam's sofa, but when they don't go out, Louis opens his door, knocks at Liam's, and spends the entire evening that way. He doesn't know why, there isn't a particular reason, he just enjoys his best mate's company instead of being alone with his goldfish. Louis is happy. He loves everything he does every day, he's never enjoyed his daily routine so much and this is so important for him, because Louis' worst fear is boredom. But, with four idiots as friends, he really couldn't be bored anyway. Like, ever. Zayn and Harry are an integral part of the group, now. Zayn got through a few exams recently so he's freer now, and Harry's uni must be less demanding because he always finds time to stay with them.
Lately, he's often gone out just with Harry. Harry is the kind of company Louis couldn't get tired of even if he had to stay with him 24/7 doing nothing. He's really happy to have found him, he couldn't have been luckier. They've been hanging out only since Niall's party but it feels like they've been friends forever. Louis has a little secret about Harry: he spent like two weeks keeping Harry's drawing on his bedside table and looking at it every night before turning off the light. Every time he found something different, some small detail that he hadn't noticed before. In the end, he felt a little bit idiotic doing this, so he thought it was better to hang it between the posters on the wall. What a secret, huh?
The last month passed by so fast that Louis can't believe it's mid July already. It's true what they say: time passes faster when you're enjoying your life.
Louis sighs and suddenly a thought passes through his mind. Oh, hell, he was about to forget it. He should finish arranging the notes for his new article, but the fact is that he has zero inspiration at the moment and he's postponed it for two days already. The deadline is tomorrow, but so far he didn't succeed in writing anything he could be satisfied of.
He sighs again and then slides down the sofa until he's looking at Liam upside down from the headrest. He's still reading. He was reading when Louis showed up at his door and he doesn't know how much time has passed since then. Liam has a frown printed on his face and it's quite funny to watch. Louis grins.
"What book does ail you in that way?" he asks in the end, sincerely curious.
Liam looks up at him for a second, his brows still furrowed, and then lowers his eyes again on the book. " The Hunger Games ."
