The excitement Harry felt right now was unexplainable. As he was running down the hallway, blood rushed to his brain, the adrenaline exciting him even more. He was running with Louis on the hallway, laughing and giggling.

The curly haired lad follows the eldest down the hallway, praying that his slender legs will not fail him in this moment. " Lou! " He laughed, his voice cracking from the adrenaline rush bubbling inside his system.

As they entered through an open door, they abruptly drifted, Louis taking Harry's hand in his so the clumsy boy won't fall and they advanced towards the exit door with their speed at maximum. Behind them, an angry shout could be heard which belonged to one of the teachers they skipped the class from. The boys couldn't help but turn their faces behind them as they heard the angry yowls grow louder and louder.

Just when they were close to the door, their eyes fell on the angry figure of the history teacher whose face was red with anger and his teeth were clenched. He entered the hallway running after the boys, but what he didn't know was that the floor was wet. The teacher slipped, his legs being the first to fail followed by his entire torso, a startled scream erupting.

The boys snickered and left the building in an instant, still hand in hand. The cold air didn't have any effect on their faces as they were all heated up from the running and excitement. Dirty patches of snow were visible, being a constant reminder of the season they were in.

When they were outside the high school yard, Harry wasted no time in cradling Louis' face gently, pressing a deep, hot kiss to the older lad's lips. Louis quickly complied, humming as his hands both found their way to the back of Harry's neck, fingers tangling in his curls.

" Let's go somewhere beautiful. " Harry breathed out, out of breath from both the kiss and the running. He placed his forehead against Louis', examining every detail of his ocean eyes, still taking his breath. His eyes reflected the calm waves of the ocean, the different hues mixing together. They gave him a feeling of comfort.

Louis was the first one to break eye contact when his gaze fell on their shoes, nodding quickly. He led Harry to the car, opening the door for him again before he entered the car himself.

" Where are we going? " Harry tilted his head as he turned to Louis questioningly. The blue haired boy didn't respond, instead smirking without glancing in Harry's direction.

    The boy pouted at the lack of response and slid further down the seat, arms crossed as his sight was fixed on the road. Trees started appearing in his sight, the number multiplying with every second that passed. They were going to a forest.

    " Are you going to kill me? " Harry jokes, breaking the peaceful silence. At that, Louis couldn't help but let out a giggle. A fucking giggle. It was the most beautiful sound Harry has heard. It was music to his ears. Louis' eyes gleamed with amusement, glancing for a second in Harry's direction before returning to the road and Harry couldn't help himself but stretch a grin all the way to his ears, crinkles appearing by his eyes. " I love you, Lou. So much it's hurting. " He whispered, placing his palm on Louis', squeezing slightly.

    " I love you, too, baby. " Louis spoke for the first time since they skipped school. They've only been there for two hours before Louis decided he wanted to do something fun and skip.

Harry felt content as the words ringed in his ears, making their way to his heart and warming it. He inhaled deeply, a dumb smile plastered on his face as the words echoed in his mind. After so much time, he was with Louis. God, Louis made his heart burst.
