It's only eight in the evening, but Louis is already tired. He spent most of the previous night writing his article and he had to wake up early in the morning to go to the office, so he didn't really sleep. He was supposed to see Harry tonight, since he invited Louis to go with him to see Ed performing somewhere, but he's too exhausted to even think about moving his bum from his couch.
He's lucky Liam has a spare key to his flat, since his friend just texted him to say he's coming over, because he refuses to leave the sofa. If Liam wants to see him he will have to do everything by himself: from opening the door to bringing him some food. Louis is not spoiled. Not at all.
"Hey," Liam cheers when he arrives. Louis raises his head just to see his friend coming in. He has a bag in his hand and a peaceful smile on his face.
"Payno," he answers, waving absently at him.
"I stopped at KFC. Is it okay?" he says, sitting down next to Louis' feet. Louis shrugs, but it turns out a little bit weird since he's lying on the sofa.
"It's food. It's free. You brought it here. More than okay, I'd say," he answers, making grabby hands for whatever Liam will give him. He honestly doesn't care, as long as it's edible.
"I thought you were seeing Harry tonight," Liam says, handing him a box. Louis sits up a little bit, just to eat without choking.
"'M toooo tired. He'll forgive me."
Liam smiles. "Yeah, no doubt about it. I think he went out with Zayn, so don't worry."
"I wasn't," Louis answers. "Harry is always fine, he makes friends wherever he goes. And when he isn't he calls me so he can escape without seeming rude. I honestly don't get why he even cares about what they think."
Liam shakes his head. "Maybe because he's polite?"
"Whatever," Louis shrugs. "Tell me about Zayn, how is he?"
Liam smiles at the only mention of the lad. Louis has to bite his lip not to say anything, he's still not sure of what to say and what to avoid with the whole Zayn thing. Louis doesn't want Liam to get upset again, but he simply has to know what's going on in his best friend's love life.
"He's fine," Liam answers "Now that uni is over he finally has a little bit more time for himself."
"And for you?" Louis tries, not sure about wanting it to be a question or a statement. He tries to sound nonchalant, he doesn't want Liam to think he's mocking him or intruding. But Liam seems past that phase, because he smiles and nods.
"Yeah, we're hanging out a lot lately. It's... cool. I think we're bonding."
Louis has to fight down the urge to make a joke about what Liam just said but no, it's not that time yet. He just has to wait a little bit more. He looks at Liam without saying anything, waiting for his friend to keep talking, because he's sure he wants to add something.
