KINGS & QUEENS - LARRY STYLINSON FANFICTION

SKIING

"Did you sleep well?" Louis asks Harry after the alarm has woken them up. To his surprise, he's not tired at all.

Harry stretches himself and yawns. "I did but when I look out of the window, then I want to stay in here. It must be freezing outside."

"Uh, I love the cold. Can't wait to get on the slope!"

Harry gives Louis a small smile. His curls are messy, his eyes a little puffy and his skin is glowing. "I'd rather stay in bed with you all day."

"We can do that tomorrow, at least until the afternoon. Should we have breakfast? I'm hungry."

Harry giggles. "You're always hungry, aren't you?"

"Pretty much. I'll be quick in the bathroom." Louis gets out of bed while Harry turns around again. "Hey Harold, don't you dare falling asleep!" Harry frowns as he turns around to face Louis. "That's crazy – now I'm the one who gets up earlier than you. What happened to your morning fitness programme?"

"It's cancelled for today," Harry laughs. "Skiing should be enough and my bed is too warm."

Louis rubs his arms because of the cold. "You might be right. Uh, it's freezing!"

"Hurry up, I'm hungry too," Harry laughs.

Louis just giggles as he grabs his boxers. In the shower, pictures of the day before cross his mind that arouse him to a certain extend. He quickly lets cold water pour down his body to get those thoughts and his boner out of his mind. Rob and Ben join Harry and Louis for breakfast later and after that they talk about how and when they've planned to be around Harry and Louis for the next two days.

"Skiing is nice," Louis tells Harry after they have put on their thick skiing clothes and are about to leave the hotel.

"I do too. Will you go on holidays with your friends as you've planned to? I remember you were pretty pissed that you couldn't but now that Mr. Sia has shortened the stunting?"

"Yeah, yeah. At least I can spend three days with them but I'm not pissed anymore. I like being with you so I don't mind anymore."

"I'm glad that the whole atmosphere has shifted."

"Me too. It was exhausting to be in a bad mood almost every day."

"Did you want to be pissed I mean . . . were you pissed because you thought you had to be?" Harry lets out a small chuckle. "That sounded silly. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Yeah, yeah, kind of. No, I was really pissed. Do you think I was faking it?"

"No, I was just asking. Oh look, there's the lift and . . . it's without cabins!"

"That's cool, I like that too. Do you think we'll see the paps?"

"I don't think so. They have professional object lenses and remember, Mr. Sia wants good pictures. If people spotted us right away it wouldn't be possible for them to take the wanted pictures."

"I don't mind anyways." Louis chuckles. "Instead of thinking about them we should just enjoy our time."

Harry pats Louis' shoulder. "Those words coming out of your mouth," Harry smiles. "But yes, you're right. Do you have the tickets?"

"Yeah, they're here. Let's go!"

Louis and Harry queue for the lift and after about fifteen minutes, they're already seated. The view is breath taking. The high mountains around are covered in snow. The dense conifer forests are hidden under a thick layer and below, people are passing on their skis and snowboards. It's so quiet up there, almost calming although the hillside is packed with people. Louis enjoys the cold air hitting his face as they're moving further up the slope. Most of all, he's happy to share this moment with Harry who is also amazed by the surroundings. Having reached the summit, Harry and Louis rush down the hill for about three hours, sometimes on their own, sometimes they compete in a race. The thought that this actually is supposed to be a stunt doesn't cross Louis' mind often. It even feels strange for him that it is a stunt since no paparazzi can be seen and he's just having a great time. On the slope, nobody recognizes them which is definitely owed to the skiing gear that hide their faces and Harry's striking tattoos perfectly.

After a while, Louis feels cold. He wants to go and have a hot shower, and Harry is also freezing. Plus, both of them are hungry and the next stunt is about to start. After showering, they put on some nice clothes and check their stunt list for the restaurant they have to go to. Louis informs Sophie about them being ready to leave so that she can give Ben, Rob and the paparazzi instructions.
