"I can't eat and I can't sleep. I'm not doing well in terms of being a functional human, you know?"

It had been two months since Louis arrived in London and started working in a coffee shop in the day and a library in the night/evening trying to pay for his apartment and save up for collage which was about to start the next month.

He'd already taken admissions in advance and bought the books. He skyped Zayn on a daily basis.

He was getting so good at fake-smiling now that even Zayn couldn't tell it was Fake.

Zayn told him that he, Liam and Niall, had their graduation ceremony yesterday and they all would come to study at his college with him in London.

He was glad he won't be alone anymore and he was doing okay in general.

Yet he was still miserable and in unbearable pain even more than before.

His heart ached and his apitite was lost completely along with his peace of mind.

He didn't remember the last time he slept or ate anything that wasn't water or tea.

He stopped talking completely except for taking orders in the coffeeshop or talking to Zayn on Skype to seem somewhat less miserable.

His only company now was the endless books of the library which didn't hate or question his patheticness just made him feel numb and think about other things but his own pain.

Now I know why 'He' loved reading so much! He tells himself then scolds himself for it.

He was wrong after all about his pain lessening if he distanced himself from Harry because his pain has only increased with every passing second.

Now Louis was almost on the verge of his shift at the coffeeshop ending and that he had the rest of the day off to sulk in his own pain and misery as he didn't have a shift at The library today.

One last order and I'll be done with! He reminds himself while sighing deeply.

He didn't look up when a man with extremely tight skinnys walked up to him.

"Good evening sir. What would you like to have?" He asked in a bored tone.

"You!" His head shot right up when he heard the deep slow syrupy honey-like voice he'd recognise anywhere, any day, no matter what the conditions are.

His pale lifeless blue orbs met with bright scorching green ones.

"Harry!" He said breathlessly in a whisper.

"Louis!" Harry replied in a whisper smiling his dimple smile.

They both kept staring at eachother till Louis' manager's voice snapped them out of their daze.

"Your shift has ended tommo! Get done with this last person and leave to get some rest! You look like shit! Too much work is bad for you mate!"

"Oh no sir! I just came here to pick him up from work. 'M his friend!" Harry grinned at the manager who smiled back at him and nodded curtly then left.

Harry turned to Louis and smiled again. "Come on Lou. Let's go!" Harry said holding his hand out for a still in shock Louis.

When Louis didn't respond just stared into Harry's eyes because;

"I got lost in his eyes, but truth be told, I didn't want to find a way out"

Oh how that stupid quote from some book Louis read fit the situation perfectly.

Harry didn't seem offended by Louis' lack of response instead he rolled his eyes fondly and intertwined his long fingers with Louis' petit ones, making Louis for the first time in many many monthes, smile his sunshine smile which makes his eyes crinkle and his nose scrunch up cutely.

Harry drags Louis to the changing room the back of the coffeeshop and takes Louis apron off by himself.

He smiles at Louis then Slaps him across the face.

Louis holds his red cheek in shock.

"WHAT THE-" Louis starts but is cut off by Harry.

"Who the fuck do you think you are? Loving me like I am the fucking universe, doing everything to protect me and my happiness but not telling me truth then leaving me like you don't give a fuck and now looking like you are you are fucking miserable without me?!" Harry says leaving Louis in utter shock and completely humiliated.

"I-I...Har-" Louis stammers.

"No! No you had your chance to talk and you chose not to! You chose to leave instead! And now you have lost your right to talk. It's me who'll talk now! Only me! Understand?"

Louis nods.

Harry sighs deeply then says gently in a hushed tone with his hand cupping Louis face; "Do you still Love me Lou? The same way you did all those years? Do you still love me enough to forgive me for being an oblivious idiot? Do you still love me enough to protect me? Do you still love me enough to be my someone who I'll fall in love with?"

That's when Louis looses his composure and finally breaks down into endless sobs, tears and hiccups.

"H-Harry y-yes! O-h G-god y-YES!" Louis says in between sobs.

Harry hugs him tightly and smiles between tears.

"Say it! Say it Lou! Tell me! Face to face!" Harry says looking into Louis' piercing blue eyes.

"I-I... I can't Harry! You'll make me leave you again!" Louis says.

"No Louis I won't! I promise I'll never let you leave now. Infact you're quite stuck with me! Now Tell me please Lou! Tell me!"

"I-I love you Harry!" Louis says looking directly into Harry's glowing emerald eyes as he waits for the inevitable rejection.

Harry smiles and rests his forehead againsts Louis' with their breaths faning over eachother's lips and their eyes closed.

"I love you too Lou!" Harry breathes out and Louis' breath hitches.

Before Louis could process everything enough to freak out he feels another set of big Pulp lips against his own thin ones.

He opens his eyes to look into a fimiliar pair of emerald ones. He closes his eyes again and smiles against Harry's lips to which Harry reciprocates.

Both of their lips stay their admiring the feeling of eachother. Then Harry pushes Louis against the wall and starts moving his lips against Louis' thin yet extremely soft and pulp ones to which Louis reciprocates.

They both move against eachother in sync tasting eachother with Harry tightly cupping Louis' face and his tumbs caressing Louis' cheekbones and Louis pulling Harry closer by holding him from his waist.

It's an innocent kiss with no tongue or lust and is filled with nothing but Love, fond, need, happiness, peace, contentment, wholeness. It's almost like a promise, a seal to their relationship, a lock to protect their love from everything and everyone till the end of time and after.

After 20 minutes of making out they part to catch their breath with bruised, red, swollen lips each.

"Lou?"

"Hmm?"

"I'm still waiting for that someone special to take away my virginity"

Louis' eyes snap open to find Harry blushing with his bottom lip tugged between his teeth and eyes screwed shut tightly.

"Yeah?"

"Yeah!"

"Harry?"

"Mmm?"

It's now or never Louis! He tells himself.

"Will you do me the honour of being your boyfriend and further more be your someone special?"

Harry smiles and opens his eyes.

"Here? In a changing room of a coffeeshop?"

"No! No! Not here! I'll make it special! I promise! I'll.. I'd.."

"Shh! Relax Lou I am only joking!"

"Oh. Um... so will you?"

"No!"

"WHAT?! BUT... BUT... I... AND... YOU... AND... I... UM... I-"

Harry kisses him while chuckling and then rubs his nose against Louis'.

"Ofcourse I Will Lou! That's not even a question. Let's go to your flat. I hear it's quite nice."

"Hear? From who?"

"Zayn. He's the reason I am here with you right now. He sent me those drafts the day you left and I fell in love with you while reading them. The real you not that fake you that everyone talks about at school. I wanted to come to you right at that moment you know but Zayn told me not to and told me to wait till graduation and that way when I come to you I won't have to leave and break you heart!"

"But what about collage?"

"Oh I applied and got accepted into your collage anyway so I think you'll be stuck with me for a while now Mr. Tommo!"

"Can't complain one bit though!"

"I know. I love you!"

"I love you too!"

"Hey tommo what are you still doing here? I thought you were gonna leave with your friend?" The manager asks when he sees them coming out.

"Yeah I am." He smiles.

"Oh and by the way, this is Harry, my boyfriend!" He states proudly.
