“That was…”
“…Interesting.” Louis finished “Are you okay, Haz?” Harry nodded and rubbed the sore spot on his scalp from when Louis’ dad grabbed him
“Yeah. I think so.” Louis sat up and gently kissed Harrys head. He smiled and lay back down. And, suddenly it was just the two of them, no one else in the world mattered, Louis pressed close to Harry feeling safe and warm. A husky voice rang in the back of Louis’ mind, so faint, it was like a memory
“It’s just you and me tonight.”
*Flashback*
Louis watched Harry run around the kitchen, grabbing the bag of noodles and jar of pasta sauce.
“This night was supposed to be perfect!” Harry yelled
“Harry.” Louis said, trying to get the boys attention. Harry continued putting the pot on the stove.
“Harry!” Louis said louder and Harrys head snapped towards him. Louis put his hands on Harrys shoulders and gently pushed him against the counter, putting his waist in between Harrys legs. He got on his tippy toes so his lips were pressed to Harrys ear.
“Forget about Eleanor. I’m not going. We’re staying here, together.” Harry looked down at him, his eyes wide and vulnerable. “It’s just you and me tonight.” He said
*End of flashback*
Louis gasped which caused a sleepy Harry to jump a bit. “Did somethin’ surprise you Lou?” he shook his head, unsure if he was imagining it or if that was something that actually happened.
“No, sorry Harry.” Harry smiled and pulled Louis even closer to him
“Its okay boo.” The warmness of Harrys body was just so comforting that Louis was slowly falling asleep, but then he remembered a question he had been meaning to ask
“Harry, are you still awake?”
“Yeah baby I’m still awake.” Louis nodded
“Can I ask you something?”
“Anything.” Louis tightened his arms around Harry before speaking
“Why do people look at me funny?”
“What?”
“Everywhere I go, whenever I start giggling and running around, they look at me like I’m crazy. Why? I don’t want to be crazy. Why do they look at me like that?” Louis was gripping tightly onto Harrys shirt now.
“Because Lou, they don’t know you like I do. They don’t see how beautiful you are.”
“Beautiful?”
“Yeah, Lou. You’re beautiful. Your personality is beautiful, I love everything about you.”
“Even though I have the mentality of a fourteen year old?” Harry chuckled
“Boo, you’ve always had the mentality of a fourteen year old. But yes, I’ll always love you.
“I love you too.” Louis closed his eyes and felt soft pressure on his lips. He smiled widely before snuggling into Harrys side
“You’re beautiful.”
*Flashback*
Harry and Louis were seated on the stairs, waiting for the rest of the boys to come down so they could start filming the video diaries.
Harry grabbed Louis’ beanie and slipped it on his head “It looks nice on you.” Louis commented
“Well it is my beanie after all.” Harry laughed, showing those perfect dimples. Louis shrugged
“Give it back. I want to wear it for the video.”
“Demanding.” Harry laughed again as he slipped the beanie back on Louis’ head. Louis just rolled his eyes. Harry pressed a kiss to Louis’ temple and smiled “You look beautiful in my beanie.”
“Beautiful? Are you hitting on another girl, Haz?” he joked
“No. You’re beautiful.” Louis blushed and looked up at the boys as they came down the stairs.
“Woah, Lou. Why are you so red?” Niall laughed,
“No reason.” Louis smiled and gently patted Harrys knee.
