Bab 4: Three
Harry and Niall were now looking at Louis expectantly knowing that Louis was about to tell a funny story about Harry.
"So," Louis began. "This is the story of when Harry and I hung out for the first time. Without Zayn."
And with that, Louis told the story while getting flashbacks.
***
It had been a week since Harry arrived at school. Louis's feelings for the lad had only grown since that afternoon.
So on Friday, he had planned on asking Harry to hang out with him. Alone.
Zayn was going over to his new girlfriend Gigi's house this afternoon. Normally, Louis would've been upset since that meant that he didn't have anyone to hang out with.
But ever since Harry has come into Louis's life, he never felt lonely anymore. He wasn't as clingy with Zayn anymore because he still had Harry.
So now that Zayn was going to go see Gigi instead of him, Louis was going to be hanging out with Harry instead.
So he invited Harry over to his place. Of course, the lad had to call his mum to see if it was okay. Harry's mum was scared when Harry didn't tell her she was going over to Louis's last week.
After the bell rang and all the classrooms emptied out, Louis went over to Zayn to say goodbye.
"Bye Zayn," he waved at the raven-haired boy. "See you on Monday."
"Ok," Zayn yelled back as he hung back with a blonde girl who must've been Gigi.
Louis then searched for the curly-haired lad. Once he found him, he went over to him and tackled him into a hug.
Harry giggled at the tickles Louis started giving him. Harry's giggle was music to Louis's ears.
"Where's Zayn," Harry asked.
"He's going over to his girlfriend's house," Louis answered.
"Oh."
Louis and Harry then went to Louis's house. They spent the afternoon playing video games. Louis won some rounds while Harry won others.
They did some of their homework for the weekend together. Louis needed lots of help since he never pays attention, so Harry helped him.
Harry even ate dinner there. Harry managed to bond with all of Louis's siblings. He was even talking to Louis's mum, Jay, about Louis.
Eventually, the sun went down. The stars showed up. The sky got dark and Harry had to go home.
Louis decided that he'd teach Harry how to ride a skateboard while taking him home so that he could be as badass as him.
Harry was extremely clumsy. Louis tried to maintain him, but he kept falling.
At one point Harry actually managed to maintain his balance as he rode the skateboard. Unfortunately, he did not know how to move the skateboard, therefore resuming in him bumping into an old lady and making the two of them fall.
"Oh," Harry said, offering an arm to help the old lady up. "I'm so sorry."
"It's okay, love," the old lady responded.
"What's your name?" The lady continued. "I've never seen you around here."
"I'm Harry."
"Nice to meet you, Harry. I'm Barbara."
Then, Louis came up to the two of them.
"I'm so sorry, Barbara," he said breathlessly. "He was out of control, and..."
"It's fine, Louis," Barbara replied. "Harry here already apologized."
They talked for a minute as Louis gave Barbara updates on how he and his family were doing. Harry pouted to show that he was bored.
Louis then said goodbye to Barbara as she turned to Harry and squeezed his cheek.
"Wow," Louis said as he and Harry walked away. "You really won Barbara over."
"Well, what can I say? " Harry said with a smirk on his face. "The old ladies love me."
"But do you love them?"
"Nah, old ladies aren't my type. Neither are ladies in general."
"So you're gay?"
"Exactly."
Louis was glad Harry was gay. It meant that he probably had a chance.
"You're not homophobic," Harry said. "Are you?"
"Nah," Louis responded. "I'm gay too."
Louis looked over at Harry. He seemed to try to conceal the fact that he was smiling. But why?
Louis let Harry ride his skateboard with the condition that Harry had to hold Louis's hand. The hand holding was amazing, Louis and Harry's hands fitting with each other's perfectly.
Thankfully, Harry made it home safely and with no injuries. Louis turned him in to Anne and left.
Louis came home to a lot of bickering of his sisters.
"He's mine!"
"No, he's mine!"
"As the oldest, he's mine!"
"He wouldn't want you, he'd want me!"
"What is going on?" Louis yelled through the screaming. What were his sisters arguing about? Or rather, who?
"They're fighting over your new friend," his mum responded. "They all want him."
"Well too bad," Louis announced. "He's gay."
The girls groaned. Louis smiled.
"So do you want him?" Lottie, the oldest of the girls (other than Louis, of course), asked. "I mean, you're gay."
Louis thought about it for a second. If his sisters found out about his crush, then they would all out him to Harry.
"No," he responded.
"Then can I have him?" Fizzy, the second oldest of the girls, asked.
"No," he said. "You're not a boy."
He turned to the twins, Daisy and Phoebe.
"You can't have him either," he told them.
"In fact, none of you guys can have him!" Louis yelled at all the girls as he walked upstairs to his room. He wanted Harry for himself, not for his sisters.
He wanted Harry.
***
Clearly, Louis didn't want Harry anymore.
Or did he?
Niall was laughing his contagious laugh. Niall's laugh is so contagious, it makes everyone in the room laugh.
Sure enough, Liam and Zayn were laughing from the kitchen.
Harry was laughing, too. It was the same laugh that Louis fell in love with.
Somehow, Louis kept having flashbacks to when he and Harry knew each other. Back when Zayn still thought he was straight, back when Harry wasn't popular, back when everyone was happy.
"Really, Harry?" Niall's loud voice made Louis snap out of his thoughts. "You crashed into an old lady?"
"In my defense," Harry responded. "She was charmed by me. Her gaydar was broken, thankfully."
Louis chuckled at that. Barbara definitely couldn't tell if someone was gay. It took her ages to find out Louis was gay.
At least she's not homophobic, though.
Now, Liam and Zayn had joined the conversation and were sitting on the couch, Zayn on top of Liam.
"So," Liam started. "Who wants snacks?"
