Chasing the Clouds
Six
Harry was surprised when he woke up one morning, seeing a direct message from Louis with his phone number and “text me? :) x”. Harry immediately grabbed his phone and texted, “Good morning :)”.
Harry and Louis had been texting every day for a week since then. They had even talked on the phone once; Louis called Harry to say goodnight.
Harry was giggling on the phone when Niall strolled into their dorm room.
“Don’t forget I’ll be on YouNow tomorrow,” Louis reminded Harry.
“I won’t forget. I’ll try to wake up in time.”
“Want me to call you to wake you?”
Harry blushed lightly, “Yeah, that’d be great.”
“Okay, cool. Night, Harry.”
“Night, Lou.”
That’s how Niall found out about them talking. “You’re talking to Louis?! Oh, finally!”
Harry laughed, “Yeah. I think I really like him,” Harry admitted quietly as he lay in bed and his eyes drifted closed.
“You should meet him,” Niall muttered.
Harry yawned, “Maybe.”
When Louis woke up, he called Harry; there was no answer. Louis called again ten minutes later, but still no response. Louis, not wanting to seem clingy (and definitely not thinking about how cute Harry probably looks sleeping) didn’t call back.
Louis did his morning routine of waking up Zayn, making a cuppa and some breakfast, and getting on his laptop. Louis sent out a tweet of the link to YouNow, and was live.
Louis was cuddled in a blanket, sipping his drink and taking bites of his pancakes. “Anybody else in London? It’s freezing here!”
Louis watched the chat; things like, “It’s definitely colder here!” and “I wish it got cold here.”
Harry S: Drama queen! It’s not even snowing yet.
Louis laughed; he was surprised, and so happy to see Harry’s name appear. “I’m going to freeze more when it starts to snow. I need more blankets, someone send me blankets!”
Zayn shuffled out of his bedroom and into the kitchen, grabbing his cuppa and rolling his eyes at Louis, “You need to stop being cold all the time.”
“Shut up, Zayn!”
“You love me!”
Louis watched the chat fill with, “Hi Zayn!” and “Zouis<3”; Louis laughed again.
“Zayn, come say hi to everyone,” Louis said, taking a big sip of his drink.
Zayn walked over to Louis and hopped on the couch, putting an arm around him and waving at the camera, “Hi guys!”
Harry S: Zouis?
Louis felt his stomach drop; shit. He didn’t want Harry to think he and Zayn were together.
“Happy Friday!” Zayn smiled, “What are you guys doing today?”
Zayn and Louis read responses, and things like, “Kiss! Kiss!” and more, “I love Zouis!” Making Zayn laugh, and Louis nervous.
Harry S: Oh…
The only thing on Louis’ mind right now was: confirm things to Harry. Louis was beyond happy texting and talking with Harry every day, he couldn’t let anything ruin it.
“Guys,” Louis rolled his eyes, smiling, “Zayn and I aren’t together.”
Zayn chuckled, “Oh yeah, Louis likes a little someone-“
Louis cut Zayn off before he could say anything else, “Okay, loves! I think Zayn has to go, say goodbye!”
Louis always hates telling Zayn that he likes someone because Zayn always teases. Louis was happy, though, and knew Zayn would get satisfaction out of knowing he was right. The morning Louis gave Harry his number, Louis admitted liking Harry to Zayn.
“Well, duh,” Was Zayn’s first response, “So, when are you gonna meet him?”
“Meet him!? Yeah right.”
“He lives here, doesn’t he?”
Louis sighed, “That’s not the point. Meeting him would be-“
“Amazing,” Zayn interrupted Louis before he could say something negative. “Learn to live a little, Tommo.”
Zayn playfully smacked Louis’ cheek, muttering, “Twat.”
“Back at you. Go to class.”
Zayn waved goodbye to the screen before getting up and putting on his coat, heading towards to the door. “Be ready at seven tonight, Lou!”
Oh, yeah. Louis sighed. Right after Louis got off the phone with Harry last night, Zayn insisted he was taking Louis out because it’s Friday and they haven’t spent time together in forever. While Louis loved spending time with Zayn… They live together, is it really necessary? Louis and Harry had made plans to skype (skype!!!) and now Louis has to turn him down.
To Louis’ surprise, Harry was the one to cancel plans. In between classes, Harry rang Louis. Though Louis was filming, when he seen ‘Harry’ light up on his phone, he had to answer.
“Hey, Hazza! What’s up?”
Harry sighed, “Don’t be mad at me, okay?”
Louis was now concerned, “Why? What happened?”
“Niall’s making me cancel our skype plans tonight.”
Louis sighed loudly in relief, “Oh, that’s fine! Zayn told me I had to cancel, too!”
“Roommates are so fucking weird sometimes, eh?” Harry laughed.
Hearing Harry laugh made Louis light up; he laughed, too, “I know what you mean. Well, we can skype tomorrow if you’re free?”
“Yes. I promise I won’t let anything get in my way.”
“Ditto. I’m filming a video though, so we’ll talk later, okay?”
“Definitely! Bye.”
