This one turned out different than planned ... But keep in mind, Louis is not meaning anything bad. He's just talking before he is speaking. Screw the alcohol

......................................................................................................................>

"Don't overdo it again this time, okay?" had Louis his hands on Liam's shoulders and gave him a stern look.

"Stop acting like your my father. I can do whatever I want and I wanna have fun. I'm never overdoing it, Tommo. Loosen up" claimed Liam already tipsy, broke away from Louis' touch and ordered another drink.

"What just happened?" leaned Zayn over to him.

"He told me to loosen up and ordered another drink" clicked Louis with tongue.

"That's tough".

"But he is right. You're way too serious, Tommo. Let loose and have some fun" overpowered Niall's voice Zayn's words.

"I'm not ...".

"Serious? Stuck up? Boring? Yes, you are. What happened to Tommo, the party king?" interrupted Niall him directly, Harry standing right next to his friend.

"He is worried about his friend going too far and ending up in the hospital" answered Louis honestly, not being keen on Niall's carefree almost ignorant way of thinking now.

"Uh, how dramatic. Don't see danger where there is none, Tommo" mocked Niall him, obviously intoxicated.

"Ni, give it a rest. Just go over to Liam and ask him your question if it's all so harmless" piped Sean in now, trying to save the situation.

Because he was so drunk already, Niall did exactly what Sean had told him without even glancing in Louis' direction. Louis just watched him with a bad feeling and hoped his two friends knew what they were doing. He didn't need a return of Liam's last party night.

"Why are you so worried, Louis? He is always partying and drinking nowadays" sat Harry down next to him at the counter of the bar.

"Exactly. He is overdoing it and has no control over his alcohol consume. He gets pissed drunk way too often and doesn't see the danger. I don't wanna see him like this again" nipped Louis worriedly on his drink.

"Like what?" hooked Harry cautiously.

"Completely gone, not even able to tell you his name. Intoxicated, maybe even stoned. So far gone that he passes out at the front door again" replied Louis absent-mindedly, worrying about Liam.

"I didn't know that. When did this happen?" frowned Harry in pure concern.

"A few days ago. Zayn and I had to carry him into his bed" told Louis him, looking around in search of Zayn, who suddenly disappeared.

"He has been drinking during the week?" gaped Harry at him.

"During the week, the whole weekend, in the afternoon. When is he not drinking with Niall? I never thought that's what he meant when he told me he wants to loosen up a bit in Uni. This is not good" let Louis him know apprehensively.

"Maybe we should ...".

"Here you are, Babe" appeared Josh in front of them and wrapped an arm around Harry's shoulders. "I was looking for you. Thought you'd be drinking with Niall, Sean and Liam".

"Well, I was but I needed a break. Nothing wrong with that, right?" leaned Harry into the touch of his boyfriend.

"Of course, not. Just made it harder for me to find you but now I have you back. You want another drink?" looked Josh questioningly at him.

"Yeah, sure. Just choose for me. I'm tired of my same old drink" pecked Harry Josh's cheek before he went to get their drinks. "So, are Aria and Àmber not coming tonight?".

"Huh? No, they're on a date" was Louis not expecting to be addressed any time soon.

"With each other?" gasped Harry shocked. Louis only nodded, too far gone in his thoughts to talk. "When did that happen?".

"Yesterday, kind of. Àmber admitted to be into Aria and later Aria did the same, so I told her to go for it and here we are now. Yesterday was an interesting day" informed Louis him and really tried to keep his comment in but he couldn't help himself. "Ari told me Jake is in town".

Harry visibly stiffened at that, probably not expecting Louis to address the matter. Obviously uncomfortable, Harry cleared his throat. "Yeah, he gave Aria my t-shirt because he still had it. Was nice to get it back after all this time. It's that one with the big rose on it".

"Ah, that one. I remember it" replied Louis bitterly. Louis had gifted that t-shirt to Harry three years ago. "And did you meet up to reconnect and rekindle old times?".

Louis knew he was being a bit unfair to even ask this but he couldn't help himself. He wanted to know if Harry had hooked-up with Jake again just because he was back in town. Something about Harry and Jake having contact again was rubbing Louis the wrong way and he wanted to know if Harry had changed enough to cheat on his current boyfriend just because of Jake, who will always be the only one he really wants anyway.

"What? No, not yet. We texted and maybe wanna meet up the next time he is in t ...".

"Here's your drink, Darling" showed Josh up again just in time to save Harry's ass but Louis was beyond salvation.

"Thanks, Baby" pecked Harry Josh's lips sweetly.

"Aww, you're so cute. Such a sweet and loving couple" cooed Louis at the sight. He felt everything affecting his brain. The alcohol, his weird feelings, the past pain and eve some pity towards Josh. A weird mix making him say things he shouldn't. "Every time I see you you're always so adorable. Wonderful to see you in your honeymoon phase. Always a pleasure. But we need to talk more, don't ya think Josh?".

"I'd like that. We didn't have many opportunities for this yet" agreed Josh obliviously and Louis felt bad for him.

"True. Harry always keeps you to himself. Not really fair. How about we talk now?" suggested Louis, feeling like a dick but a part of him actually wanted to talk to Josh more. Just that this part was not in control right now.

"I don't think that's a g ...".

"C'mon, Harry. Me and your boyfriend wanna bond. Don't be in the way of that" gave Louis him no chance to complain.

"Yes, Baby. Louis is right. He is your friend and we should get closer. Do you not want that?" agreed Josh again.

Harry threw Louis a murderous look but then let out a sigh. "I do want that. Would be great if you could be friends".

"Wonderful. Sit down, Joshie" made Louis pace for his new buddy, getting off track here. "So, anything you wanna know?".

"Nothing coming to my mind right now. Just tell me something random. Maybe what you did yesterday" suggested Josh thoughtfully.

"Wouldn't it be better ...".

"Brilliant idea. Yesterday was a revealing day" cut Louis Harry off again. "Àmber, my female best friend, told me that she is crushing on our friend Aria but was too scared to tell her. You know, ruining the friendship and all. Can relate. Later that day, Aria told me some interesting things as well and along the line she admitted to be into Àmber as well. I told her to go for it and now they're on a date. Isn't that amazing? And that even though they almost ruined it".

"In which way?" hooked Josh interested.

"Aria told me that back in High School she was already crushing on her but Àmber liked that Tamara girl. So, believe it or not, she offered Àmber to fake-date her to make Tamara jealous" told Louis him like he was telling the greatest story of them all, feeling Harry's warning eyes on him.

"Really? Who would even do that?" was Josh shell-shocked.

"I know, right? Such a stupid idea in the first place. Who would ever come up with this?" faked Louis big surprise.

"You're sure this is about them, Louis?" tried Harry to stop their conversation.

"Do you not believe me, Hazza? Aria told me that herself yesterday. I was so shocked but do you wanna know what shocked me the most?" addressed Louis actually both of them.

"Not really".

"What was it?".

"They never went through with it. Àmber declined the offer because she thought using her best friend to make someone jealous was a bad idea. She cared too much about Aria to do this to her and take advantage of her kindness and caring. And like this they stayed friends" let Louis both of them know but only locked eyes with Harry, letting him silently know what he was really trying to say.

"Àmber seems to be a wonderful friend. It would have been such an asshole move to accept this offer, as nice as the offer was. Using your best friend for selfish wishes is never the right way" commented Josh on the story and Louis decided that he liked him.

"You're so right, Josh. That would have been such a selfish move" shot Louis his former fake-boyfriend an all-saying look. "But they made it because Àmber is a considerate person and loves Aria. Now Tamara is her ex and A and A are on a date. Exes are a weird thing. I just got a text this morning from my ex, in a way, and it was strange. Oh, do you have any ex-boyfriends you could bump into on the street?".

"Louis, it's en ...".

"No exes here" shook Josh his head blushingly, causing Harry to chock on air. Well, looked like he didn't know that.

"So, Hazza here is your first boyfriend? Now that's even cuter. So adorable. Hopefully, he won't ever be your ex. I really like you and you're good together. Don't wanna see any of you down. Let's hope you stay together forever" was the alcohol letting Louis just ramble things in a sarcastic voice with Harry glaring at him. Louis knew that look. Harry wanted to murder him. How funny. "Although maybe that won't be too bad because Harry has the tendency to rekindle with his ex boyf ...".

"Tommy, I need your advice" jumped Zayn in, coming out of nowhere. "Would you spare me a second?".

"Of course, my dearest friend. You're my best friend, after all. I'd do anything for you, Javy" got Louis emotional now.

"You wanna go home now, Babe?" heard Louis Harry whispering into Josh' ear. Seemed like he wanted to separate Louis and Josh. What a shame.

"Of course, Babe" smiled Josh lovingly at him and Louis felt the need to coo at them. They were really adorable.

"Before you leave let me tell you that I'm really happy Harry has found you, Josh. You're such a caring, honest and genuine person and he deserves that just like you deserve to be loved wholeheartedly. I'm so happy for you" let Louis him know before they could leave and he actually meant it.

"Thanks. That means a lot coming from you. I mean, you're his oldest friend" blushed Josh cutely.

"That I am. Not the best but the oldest. I'm like his older brother watching over him but don't worry. You past every test and I won't make your life hell. You're not Sean. He is just weird" giggled Louis exhilarated.

"Hey, I heard that" called Sean in the distance.

"Good" shouted Louis back. "Love you, bro".

"Love you more, Tommo".

"Now don't let me stop you from leaving. Have a nice night and take good care of each other" faced Louis Harry and his boyfriend again.

"Bye, Louis. Til next time" waved Josh at him before Harry dragged him out of the bar, glaring at Louis until they lost eye-contact.

"Okay, what was that?" propped Zayn his hands up on his hips.

"What do you mean? I was talking to Josh. He is such a nice guy. Now I really miss Luke. I'm gonna go home and call him. Oh wait, you wanted advice. Was that an actual request?" remembered Louis darkly.

"No, just an excuse to crash your talk before you could say something dumb. Maybe going home is a good idea. Should I accompany you?" asked Zayn worriedly.

"Nope. Like I said, I'm gonna call Luke. Stay here and keep talking to that ginger guy" waved Louis him off, emptying his glass.

"You saw that?" stared Zayn surprised at him.

"Of course. I can do two things at the same time, Javy. Tell me how it went tomorrow" stood Louis up, side-hugging Zayn, and made his way to the exit.

On his way home, he texted Luke and begged him to come over and of course, Luke agreed. He was worried that Louis was too drunk to think but Louis waved it off. His mind was a mess and he needed his brain to shut off for a little while. When Luke was around, his brain was more likely to be silent. That's what he also liked about him. He made the world silent. That's why he needed Luke over tonight. To fuck the world quiet for one night. To fuck away the images in his head and all the wrong thoughts he was having. He needed silence.

When Luke finally arrived, they ended up in bed pretty quickly. Louis knew how to turn him on and rile Luke up enough to want it as much as Louis wanted it. He needed him now and that good and hopefully, long-lasting. This time Louis needed him on top but wasn't keen on being the bottom again. That wasn't his thing yet. Not really used to it. And Luke didn't seem to want that either. He prepped himself while Louis was watching his hand-movements, never his face. When he was ready he sunk down on Louis' dick and rode the hell out of him, calling himself a cowboy and that should have really turned Louis off but weirdly enough, it didn't.

That kind of humour reminded him of Harry, which brought him back into his wrong thoughts. Even though Louis liked Josh he hated the thought of Josh touching Harry right now. Maybe Harry was doing exactly the same thing as Luke was doing at the moment. Was Harry riding Josh right now? Louis squeezed his eyes shut and pushed those questions away, trying to only focus on Luke, who was being the best boyfriend in the world. With all his willpower, Louis shut his mind off and pushed Luke and himself over the edge. After riding out their highs, they cuddled up under the covers and Louis heard exactly what he had hoped for. Silence.

Louis wants silence, mh? Why? And he likes Josh ... weird.
