"Hey Louis," Harry called out to him. "Come hang with us."
"I can't," Louis said.
"Why not?"
"Because it's wrong."
"What's wrong?" Niall asked.
"Hanging out with your ex," Louis responded.
"Nah," Niall said. "I hang out with my exes all the damn time. In fact, tomorrow I'm going out to hang with my ex Hailee."
"At least she probably didn't cheat on you!"
Louis sighed. If he were to become good friends with his ex, then it would be with an ex that hasn't done anything wrong. Maybe if the two of them would've lost feelings so they remained friends.
But that wasn't the case with Harry. Harry cheated. But not with anybody.
He shook away the thought. He didn't want to be thinking about anymore things that had to do with Harry or his time with him.
Unfortunately, life had other plans when he got another flashback.
***
Louis came up with the plan to ask Harry to be his boyfriend.
They've only gone on two dates together, but he had already decided that he fell in love with him.
Everything he saw, everywhere he went, he thought of Harry.
It was like his brain was telling him to ask him already, that Harry most likely wanted to date him too.
So he grabbed his bag and decided that he'd ask him at school.
He made it to school and found Harry by his locker. He walked up to him and shook the nervousness out of his system.
"Hi Harry," he said.
"Hi," Harry replied.
"So you know how we've been on a few dates?"
"Yeah?"
Louis took a deep breath.
"Will you be my boyfriend?"
Harry stood for a moment, comfortable silence taking over.
"Yes," he finally breathed out.
And then, Louis kissed Harry.
It was the most tender kiss ever, Louis tasting Harry's soft, plump lips that tasted like the perfect combination of salt and vinegar.
They moved their hands all over each other, Harry squeezing Louis's bum while Louis dug around Harry's shirt and twisted his nipples.
"Dang," Louis commented. "You have four nipples?"
"Yup," Harry muttered through the kiss. "Biggest flex I have."
They kissed until the bell rang as Louis made his way to biology and Harry made his way to literature.
After school was over, Louis and Harry both left together on their skateboards, Zayn coming with them this time. Apparently, Gigi had a doctor's appointment and had to leave early.
"Hey Zayn," Louis said. "Meet my new boyfriend, Harry."
"Ooh," Zayn caught along. "Hi Harry."
"Hi," Harry shyly said. Louis could tell that Harry wasn't used to all of this.
Louis wrapped his arm around Harry. Harry purred like a kitty at the touch.
"Ugh," Zayn faked disgust. "You two are so cute. Take your PDA elsewhere."
Louis flipped Zayn off and grabbed the keys. He let Zayn and Harry in, wrapping his arm around Harry again.
"COME ON!" Zayn yelled. "Less cuddling, more FIFA."
The three of them made it to Louis's familiar room. Louis grabbed the consoles and Zayn grabbed the snacks.
This time, Louis and Harry hugged each other every time one of them won. Zayn felt left out but then was thankful for it when he saw all the making out going on between the two.
"Oh, come on, Zen," Louis whined when Zayn complained. "Don't act like you aren't all touchy and stuff with Gigi."
"I'm not though," Zayn insisted.
"Liar."
"No I'm not. In fact, I don't even act like this with girls in general."
"Then you're probably gay."
"Lewis!" Harry yelled. "Let him come to terms with his sexuality first, then you can tease him."
"Dang it," Louis pouted.
They spent the rest of the afternoon playing games, Harry and Louis being all cuddly and Zayn confused about what Louis just told him.
***
Louis let out a chuckle at the memory. If only Zayn knew that he would be gay and that he'd find Liam.
In fact, Liam and Zayn were acting the same way than Harry and Louis. Only difference is that Liam and Zayn are together right now and Louis and Harry aren't together anymore.
But it seems like the feelings are coming back.
Louis looked up to see Harry and Niall staring at him like Louis was crazy.
"What?" Louis glared at the two.
"What were you laughing about?" Harry asked.
"Nothing," Louis sassed back. "Why?"
"Because we wanted to laugh with you," Niall said.
Louis rolled his eyes. Of course, the Irish lad would want to laugh at anything. But who was he to judge? He'd be doing the same thing if he had the same hearty laugh Niall did.
Sure enough, Harry cracked a joke.
"What did the witch say when she entered her house made out of candy? 'Home sweet home!'"
Louis laughed as well. Harry joined in. Soon, Liam and Zayn joined the laughing fest.
The five of them were laughing so hard at Harry's stupid joke.
"That was so bad," Niall said through laughs. "But it's still funny."
"You tried, baby, you tried," Louis laughed along.
All the boys gasped looked at him in horror.
"What?"
"You-" Harry stuttered out. "You called me baby."
