Always You (L.S.) (Completed)

Chapter 10: Not Just A Crush

(October 22nd)

HARRY

"Come on, it's like a ten minute walk." I groaned at Louis who was pouting.

"Harry, I'm tired. I don't wanna walk," he whined and I chuckled.

"Fine, I'll carry you. Better?"

He beamed, and I swooned. "Thanks Hazzy!"

Rolling my eyes, I bent down and he jumped on my back. "You weigh nothing. Seriously, what the fuck?"

He giggled. 

"Do that again."

He hummed. "Do what again?"

"Giggle. That was the cutest thing I've ever heard in my entire life."

He groaned, nuzzling into my shoulder. "Stop Haz."

"Sorry, sorry. Let's go."

We reached my dorm building, and Louis jumped off my back. "You ready?" I asked him, and he nodded, a shy smile on his face.

"Why are you being so quiet? You don't need to be nervous around me, okay?"

He grinned at me. "I know, I can't help it. I'm not good around new people."

I laughed. "I'm not a new person! You know practically everything about me!"

"Yeah, but still! It's different being with you in person." He shrugged. "You're like, really hot, and it makes me nervous."

My eyes widened. "Um, thanks I guess."

We walked up the many stairs and stopped at our dorm door. As I took out my key, Louis placed his hand on my arm. 

"Wait. Stop. Do you hear that?"

I narrowed my eyes, and pressed my ear to the door.

"Oh, fuck!"

I heard the voice of Zayn cry out, and I cringed in disgust. "Ew, that's so gross."

Louis eyes widened as another voice rang out. 

"Such a good boy for me."

"Oh god no." he muttered and I looked at him confused.

"What?"

"The guy that's fucking your friend right now, that's Liam, one of my best friends."

I laughed. "What a coincidence, huh?"

He slapped my arm. "This isn't going to end well."

I shrugged. "Zayn doesn't do relationships. I doubt it'll get any farther than a harmless shag."

He groaned. "Well, we can't go to mine, my roommate Niall is there, and he is a right mess."

I nudged him. "He can't be as messy as you though."

He squawked. "I am not that messy!"

I laughed. "Kidding babes. Do you want to go to the lake then?"

He looked at me, confused. "What lake?"

I looked at him, incredulously. "Seriously? You've never been to the lake?"

"No? I didn't even know there was one."

"Well, we're definitely going now."

LOUIS

 "Hey Haz?"

He hummed, looking at me from where he was laying down beside me. 

"Thanks for bringing me here. It's really beautiful."

"Nothing is as beautiful as you." he replied softly. "But I'm glad I got to bring you here."

I blushed turning to face him. "I want you to know, I really like you."

He turned, facing me as well. "I really like you too."

"Wait, let me finish. I know I already told you how much you meant to me, but I want to tell you face to face this time, okay? People say the heart wants what it wants and there's no logic to stuff like that. It's a little crazy, how I feel about you. Sometimes it makes me so happy and giddy, it's like I'm a little kid again, or on some drug. You make me feel like I can do anything and I am so happy to be able to be around you every day. I just, I wanted to thank you for being the wonderful, amazing person that you are. You are amazing, Harry."

He looked at me stunned.

"Lou..." he breathed out.

I laughed. "You don't have to say anything back, it's okay. I know I threw a lot at you there."

He grinned. "Phew. I'm not very good with my words, but I hope you know that I care about you a lot too. So much that it scares me."

"Can I- can I kiss you?" I asked hesitantly.

He smiled at me, dimples popping out. "Do you have to ask?"

I chuckled, leaning forward and softly connecting my lips to his. His lips were soft and plum, and fit perfectly against mine. He shifted us, so that I was lying back on the ground and he was slightly on top of me. After a few minutes we broke apart, our faces still merely inches away from each other.

"Wow," I breathed and he laughed.

"Wow is right."

"Oh my god, that is adorable!" a voice yelled behind us and we quickly sat up to see Niall with his phone in his hand.

"Niall what the hell?" I shouted.

He cackled. "My first Larry video is complete! You guys are so cute, I can't." he rambled. "I'm gonna go save this onto my computer." He stumbled away.

Harry raised his eyebrows. "Is he... drunk?"

I shrugged. "Nope, that's just his personality. You'll get used to it." I patted his shoulder as I stood up. "Now come on. We're going back to my dorm."
