KINGS & QUEENS - LARRY STYLINSON FANFICTION

A PILLOW FIGHT AND A LIE

In the morning, Louis can feel a slight pressure against his back. Harry lays close to him in his sleep and Louis doesn't budge because he enjoys the feeling. Minutes later, Harry moves away, stretches himself and yawns. Louis turns around and looks at him. His curls are messy, his eyes puffy and he looks sleepy.

"Good morning," Harry says in his deep morning voice.

"Good morning, Harold. You're still here."

"Where should I be?"

"When I woke up, I wasn't sure if I maybe hadn't only imagined things."

"I'm here but if you want me to leave I can-," Harry says and pretends that he's getting up from the bed.

Louis grabs Harry's covers and pulls.

"Okay," Harry says and smirks, "as you want."

"Idiot. Of course, I want you to stay."

"I'm happy you let me in. Imagine you would have left me standing in the hallway."

"Oh, poor baby," Louis says playfully, "I'm sure uncle Zayn, uncle Niall or uncle Liam would have let you in. The second he has stopped talking, Harry throws one of his pillows into Louis' face.

"What?" he asks. "You're making fun of me?"

Louis grabs the pillow as he sits down in his bed. "Me? How could I! Take this!" He throws the pillow back, hitting Harry's chest instead of his face as he had planned to. Harry gets on his knees too, what makes him taller. He lets the pillow fall down since he has already another one ready to throw. As he does that, Harry gets up quickly, armed with his other pillow as he picks up another one. He hurries to the door where he stops and watches Louis who's still sitting in the bed.

"Come on, hit me!" Harry yells and throws another pillow at Louis. Louis shakes his head, grabs all pillows he can get and jumps out of the bed, following Harry through the huge hotel room. "Wait until I get you!" he yells, throwing a small pillow at Harry who bends down quickly. The pillow falls onto the sofa, almost hitting the decorative lamp that is put on the little table next to it. Harry keeps looking at Louis, trying to figure out his next move as he takes the pillow and throws it back. He tries to hide behind the sofa but as Louis comes closer, he decides to run away, followed by Louis who is definitely ready to take the revenge. The pillow fight continues as heated as it is until there's a knock on the door. Louis and Harry stop their movements and listen. "Was that a knock?" Louis asks and stops throwing the pillows. Harry takes this as a possibility and hits him with a small one. "Don't try to distract me, Tomlinson!" he yells and laughs. Harry throws another one with force that hits Louis' head.

Louis holds the pillow in his hands and puts one hand up. "No, really. There was a knock."

"Uh, okay. Maybe we were too loud?"

"I don't think so," Louis laughs. "Whoever wants to interrupt is just jealous because we're having fun. God, I haven't done a pillow fight in years!"

"Same," Harry says and pushes his curls back. He follows Louis to the door.

"Hey Lou, I just wanted to ask-Harry?! What the hell are you doing here?" Zayn steps inside the room. He gives Harry high five. "Hey mate, welcome!"

"Hey!"

"Why are you here?"

"I wanted to surprise Louis."

"What did you two do? I thought I had to safe someone," Zayn laughs.

"I won a pillow fight," Harry says proudly, holding two pillows up in the air.

"Wait, wait, wait!" Louis suddenly yells. "You winked at him!" Louis gesticulates toward Harry. "You did!"

"I did nothing," Harry laughs.

"Yes, you did!"

Harry and Zayn smile as they look at Louis. "Wait . . . did you know that he would come?" Both guys stay quiet but their faces are telling. "You did! Zayn!" Louis smiles and shoves Zayn playfully who wraps his arms around Louis, then he lets go again.

"Hey . . . you're my friend and I knew how happy you would be so I decided not to say anything. I just stopped by to say goodbye to you and wish you a good flight home."

"Thank you. I don't even know how to get home since I'll stay longer but we'll see."

"Oh, you don't have to worry," Zayn smiles, "Harry has already booked your flight home so no worries."

Louis turns around. "Is that true?"

Harry nods. "It is."

Louis' face lights up as he wraps his arms around Harry. "Thank you, that's so cool?"

"I'll tell Rob and Ben you're not coming. Is that okay?"

"That's okay. Enjoy your days off." Louis gives Zayn a hug too.

"Bye."

Louis closes the door and walks back to the bedroom. "Did you really get a flight for me?"

"Yes! I thought it might be too stressful for you if you had to book a flight spontaneously so I booked one for you."

"You've really thought that through, haven't you?"

"I thought that like this we could spend the day without having to worry about flights and stuff. What do you think about having breakfast somewhere?"

"That would be cool. After our exercise I feel like I'm awake eventually."

"And it isn't even ten," Harry smiles.

"Yeah, a great change. Do you want to go to the bathroom first?"

"Is that because you're nice to me or just because you want to lay down in your bed for some more minutes?"

Louis grins. "Both options are good ones."

"I thought so but it's fine." Harry takes his clothes and walks into the bathroom. Meanwhile, Louis has gotten several messages from Matt.

Matt Morning my love, did you sleep well?

Matt I almost couldn't sleep all night long because I'm so excited to see you again.

Matt Miss you.

Louis Hey, I'm awake now. Miss you too but I'm sorry to tell you that I have to stay here for one more day.

Matt Noooo ☹ Are you serious? Why?

Louis I forgot about a few appointments.

Matt ☹

Louis Don't be sad. I'll be home the day after tomorrow.

Matt Okay, I'll be waiting for you.

Louis Same. Can't wait to see you. Please don't be sad, okay?

Matt I'll try to. Have a good day and don't let others stress you. I can't wait to see and hug you again.

Louis Same, love. I'll text you when I'm home. Have a nice day.

Louis feels terrible for lying to Matt. He has never lied to him before and he knows it's shitty of him to do so but Louis didn't want to turn Harry's surprise down but also, he couldn't tell Matt the truth about staying longer. Matt might probably take it the wrong way and that's not what Louis wants above all. Telling him that he had to stay because work seemed to be the most logical reason so he decided to go with it.
