KINGS & QUEENS - LARRY STYLINSON FANFICTION

SPENDING TIME TOGETHER

Three hours later, Harry logs out of Tumblr and closes his laptop. He puts it on the bedside table and gets up from the bed. "That was fun," he says, stretches himself to the left and to the right. "But my ass hurts from sitting."

"Yeah, mine too. I would have never thought we could get so much information by just pretending."

Harry giggles. "I couldn't have done it without you to be honest since I know nothing about your music or your career as much as they do."

"Yeah, true. I didn't know that stuff like this might be fun, actually! I think we got some good answers, didn't we?"

"It's nice that they like your charity engagements and that you're involved in so many good things."

"I'm glad it's not only the looks. Also, in your case . . . I mean how did they find out the fact that you once bought pizza for homeless people in LA?"

"I don't know really but it's a cool thing. I mean I didn't want people to know because these are things, I do for myself and for those in need but . . . at least it's good news. It's not only about how I look but also what kind of person I am."

Louis nods. "Really cool. I'm pretty hungry, should we order pizza? I crave pizza so bad right now."

"Oh Lou, do you always eat unhealthy food? I mean you could have a pizza with vegetables but I don't think that would be your choice, am I right?"

"Touché."

"Let me guess what you like on your pizza."

"Go on."

"Cheese."

"Yes."

"A lot of cheese."

"Definitely."

"No avocado and no pineapple."

"Right. You remember that I don't like avocado?"

"Of course, I do."

"You really listen to people, Harold," Louis says thoughtfully. "Go on."

"Okay so . . . salami."

"Yes."

"Mushrooms."

"Yes."

"That's it."

Louis smiles at Harry. "Now you know what to order for me, I guess. Perfect. Your prize will be a pizza too and if you insist, it will be one with vegetables. Uh. Pizza with vegetables only."

"Why? It's delicious! I like it."

"It's fine. You'll get a big one. Are you hungry?"

"Pretty much. I'm going to accept your offer and ignore your offensive statements about vegetable pizza but I think that gives me the right to also order a nice cucumber salad."

"Okay, deal."

"Are you going to order now?"

"Yeah. Do you want something else?"

"No, that's all."

When the pizza is delivered, it's already half past eight. They eat in silence first and to Louis' surprise, the silence doesn't feel weird at all. "That has been such a nice day so far," Harry suddenly says. "I really enjoyed it."

"Absolutely and to be honest . . . when I think about stunting with you in the US . . . well, I don't mind. I'm even looking forward to it now since we get on so well."
