KINGS & QUEENS - LARRY STYLINSON FANFICTION

LUNCHTIME

"I think playing board games with you will be a thing," Louis says when they're on the street again.

"I'd love to. Do you usually bring some with you when you're touring?"

"No because nobody likes playing them."

"Really?"

Louis shrugs. "Not really. Niall, Zayn and Liam sometimes play cards with me but I prefer board games."

"You could bring some on tour so we can play. What do you think?"

"Cool thing."

"Alright so what do you think about having lunch somewhere?"

"Oh yes, I'd like a burger and fries, to be honest. Nothing else."

"I don't mind. I also love burgers. Let me check if I can find a nice restaurant around here." Harry gets his phone out and checks the surroundings. "Here. There's one about fifteen minutes away and . . . yeah look, looks good. What do you think?"

Louis looks at Harry's phone. "Ah, it's a real burger restaurant, cool."

"I prefer them than McDonald's or Burger King."

"I don't but a burger is a burger."

"Alright. So come on, let's go. I can feel my stomach grumbling already but it's funny that I didn't notice while we were playing."

"You were too busy trying not to lose that's why!"

Harry playfully grabs Louis' neck and squeezes it from behind. "Oh, come on, I wasn't that bad!"

"No," Louis laughs as he pushes his shoulders up in a reflex, "but you struggled quite a lot for someone who told me he was a winner most of the time."

"Well, maybe I have to learn some new strategies against you!"

"Maybe." They continue walking through the tiny streets of the old town. There aren't many people in the streets since it's cold and a weekday. Suddenly three girls walk towards them and giggle. One of them points at Louis, then she whispers something into her friend's ear.

"I think we're not in disguise anymore," Harry whispers.

"Seems so." He giggles. "Maybe we might try to make them believe we're not the people they think we are?"

Harry swats Louis' arm. "No way, Lou. Just be yourself and that's it. Come on. They won't bite!

The girls walk towards Harry and Louis slowly, giggling nervously as they come closer. They look at them but don't say anything as two start taking pictures out of the blue.

"Hi," the third girl says shyly. The others greet Harry and Louis too but don't say anything else.

"Hey," Louis replies, "how are you?"

Before the girl can answer, one of her friends suddenly let herself fall into Harry's arms without a warning. She starts sobbing and crying and Harry puts his arms around her. She's small so that she nearly disappears in his arms. "Hey," he says quietly. "Everything's alright, everything's alright." The other two girls ask Louis for a picture. After a while, the girl in Harry's arms has calmed down a little bit and pulls back. Her hair is messy now and her face is red, strained with tears. Her body is trembling still, but she has stopped crying. "Is everything okay?" Harry asks her again and she nods.

"You okay?" Louis asks her too as he puts his hand onto her back. The girl only nods without saying a word.

"Can we also take a picture with you, Harry?" one of them asks and Louis takes the picture. After that, the girls check the photos excitedly. They're still nervous, Louis can see that but at least the crying one seems to be okay.
