louis tugged the sleeves of harry's jacket down to his fingertips as he hummed along to the car radio. the rain drizzled down the windows, and louis watched them droplets intently. whereas harry, watched louis intently.

very intently.

"eyes on the road," louis spoke, breaking the silence. harry didn't even try to hide his staring, and it was a wonder the hadn't crashed yet.

"my apologies, baby." he smirked when louis' cheeks flushed a beautiful pink at the nickname. "you're quite captivating."

"it's only my nature," louis retorts. he perks up when he sees his house ahead. "this is it."

with a nod, harry turns into the driveway of the house. he smiles when he sees it. it's a decent home, same as any other, but it reminds him of what is was like to be ordinary. to live in a cozy, ordinary, wonderful home. there's two cars in the driveway, one of which, he recognizes.

"hm... my mum must be having another friend over for tea," louis mutters that bit, but then perks up to look at harry. "thanks for the lift, i️ guess- why're you getting out ? harry !"

but harry was already closing his door and making his way over to louis' to open it for him.
"i'm coming in with you," he says to louis once he's out of the car.

louis scoffs. "no offense, sweetie, but it's a little early for you to meet the folks."

harry pokes louis in the side. he giggles, and harry decides that he likes the sound. "ha ha very funny, sweetheart. you see that's my mum's car in your driveway."

louis stops in front of the door to look at harry. "really ? what's she doing here ?"

harry shrugs. "beats me. so, you gonna open the door or not ?"

louis rolls his eyes but opens the door and walks in, harry shutting the door behind him. "mum ! i'm home !" the two boys walk into the kitchen to see jay and anne sitting at the counter, laughing.

"harry ?" anne looks at her son curiously. "what're you doing here, love ?"

"hello, mum," harry smiles at his mother warmly and louis loves it. harry may be a dick sometimes, but he loves his mum. "i️ dropped louis off. and you ?"

"just catching up with an old friend," she returns harry's smile, and it's just as dazzling.

jay looks over to the two boys. "louis, baby !" she smiles. "did you two already meet ? are you friends ? oh goodie !"

louis was about to tell her no, that they were not friends but harry spoke up before him.

"yes, mrs. tomlinson, we are," he smiles warmly at louis' mum. "in fact, i️ was thinking... if it's alright with you i'd like to take louis out ?"

louis glares at harry subtly and the taller boy  just smirks.

"oh yes !" jay beams. "that'd be great ! go on ahead, you two. have fun ! text me if anything, yeah louis ?"

"thank you, bye ladies," harry says as he guides louis out by the waist.

"bye !"

and with that harry closes the door and gets them into his car.

"what the fuck ?" louis glares.

"hang in there, babe. i'm just gonna take you out."

before the small boy can protest, harry rests his hand dangerously high on louis' thigh and squeezes.

harry doesn't miss how the louis shivers at his touch, and the rosy shade that sneaks its way onto his cheeks. louis turns to the window, hoping that harry at least doesn't notice the small smile upon his lips.

harry notices.
