Two weeks ago when I listened to the song I noticed how perfect it is for the situation Louis is in at this point of the story. He is not using Luke, by the way. It's different.

Oh and smut warning for the very beginning of the chapter ;)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------> 

Startled, Louis sat up in his bed with a heavy breathing. He put a hand over his heart and tried to regulate his breaths. Glancing around the room, he calmed down and realised his dream wasn't true. Pushing the pictures out of his head, Louis fell back down into his pillow and looked at a sleeping Luke, feeling his guilty conscience kicking in although he knew it was unnecessary. His dream was weird and messy and probably wrong but also only that. A dream.

Being half-hard underneath the covers, Louis snaked his arm around Luke's naked torso. Tenderly, Louis traced with his fingers over Luke's abs and felt his body react to the touch. Definitely getting into the mood now, Louis wandered with his fingers further down until he brushed against Luke's morning wood. Bravely, Louis took a hold of Luke's dick and started to stroke it slowly, causing Luke to finally wake up. With blown pupils, Luke looked down at Louis in wonderment but Louis only leaped up and kissed him heatedly.

Their dicks rubbed together underneath the covers and both boys moaned at the feeling. Louis broke away from the kiss to crawl back down and took Luke's dick into his mouth without a warning. Turned on, Louis swirled with his tongue around the tip and started to bop his head up and down in a steady pace, bringing Luke quickly to the edge. When he cupped his balls Luke came down Louis' throat with a cry and Louis sucked him through his orgasm, never opening his eyes.

Suddenly, Luke grabbed Louis' face and pulled him into a sloppy kiss, definitely taking Louis by surprise. Luke turned them around and pressed Louis into the mattress, causing Louis' dick to twitch in anticipation. While sloppily making out Luke started to jerk Louis off. When Louis was close, Luke replaced his hand with his mouth. Skilfully, he sucked Louis off, who came a short while later down Luke's throat with a stifled moan, a certain face on his mind and a certain name on the tip of his tongue.

Willing all of this away, Louis finally opened his eyes. Luke was directly in front of him with a beaming smile on his face and heated cheeks, making Louis feel horrible. It was too early for any of this. Putting on a smile, Louis kissed Luke sweetly and earned a giggle in return, making his heart flutter and feel heavy at the same time.

"That's one way to start the morning, Love. Any particular reason for it?" smiled Luke dopey at him.

"No, no reason. Just wanted to make my beautiful boyfriend feel good first thing in the morning" lied Louis and even believed himself. He wanted to believe himself.

"Stop, you make me blush" buried Luke his face in Louis' naked chest.

"You're cute when you blush, Baby" tangled Louis his hands into Luke's hair. "C'mon. We should stand up and eat some breakfast. Have a long day ahead".

Unmotivated, Louis stood up with Luke by his side. They put on some clothes and got themselves ready for Uni. Then they prepared some breakfast and ate in comfortable silence and Louis was thankful for the silence. He really wasn't a morning person. When they were cleaning everything up, Luke wrapped his arms around Louis' waist from behind and rested his chin on Louis' shoulder, who was relaxing into the warming touch.

"Can I see you tonight?" asked Luke quietly, his breath hitting Louis' neck.

"Didn't you say you're meeting up with Cody and Chris?" wondered Louis, tilting his head aside a bit.

"I am, but in the afternoon while you're meeting up with Zayn and Liam. But afterwards we could see each other and rekindle this moment" traced Luke with his lips over Louis' neck.

"And maybe even move this to another place" turned Louis around in Luke's arms, locking eyes intensively.

"Sounds like a good plan to me" breathed Luke against Louis' lips hotly.

"Then it's settled, Baby" connected Louis their lips again in a passionate kiss.

Unfortunately, they had to keep it clean because they needed to head out for their first course together. During class, Luke and Louis couldn't stop touching each other and Louis loved how much he could rile Luke up with his hot touches while having to pretend they were listening. This led to them rushing out of the room as soon as the course was over and stumblinginto an empty bathroom, locking themselves in a stall. And if Louis ended up fucking Luke doggy style against the stall wall because he wanted to be what Luke wanted and deserved then no one needed to know that.

After two more courses without Luke, Louis was finally able to leave the campus and meet up with Zayn and Liam in a little nice-looking bar Louis has never been in before. His two friends were waiting for him at a table close to a small stage. He walked over to them and sat down, tearing them out of their quiet conversation.

"Tommo! Hi, how was your day?" beamed Liam at him.

"Quite interesting, I might say. Yeah" licked Louis his lips while thinking back about his pleasurable actions of the day.

"Oh yeah? What did you do? Skip Uni to fuck all day?" cocked Zayn an eyebrow at him nastily.

"You don't need to skip Uni to have some fun" smirked Louis dirtily at his best friend.

"You had sex between your classes? Damn, seems like Luke is irresistible" whistled Liam impressed.

"You could say that" grinned Louis smugly.

"I'm actually really surprised. You're not one to do that in public places. Any reason for that change of mind?" eyed Zayn him suspiciously.

"Nope. Just was in the mood after our mind-blowing morning. Had to make sure Luke is satisfied" leaned Louis back in his chair.

"Sex in the morning and in Uni? What happened? Did you have a series of sexy dreams or why were you this much in the mood?" asked Liam jokingly, but Louis looked down at those words and suddenly felt like the room was way too small.

"Wait, you actually had wet dreams about Luke that turned you on this much! Wow, he really seems to be amazing. Good for you" gaped Liam at him in realisation.

"Yeah, exactly" laughed Louis forcedly, causing both of his friends to frown at the sound.

"What's the matter, Tommy?" hooked Zayn softly.

"Nothing. What could possibly be wrong about a wet dream of my wonderful and perfect boyf ...".

"It wasn't a dream about Luke" cut Zayn him off slowly, just eyeing Louis' reaction. "The dream wasn't about Luke and that made you feel bad, so you tried to make up for it by having hot sex with him and being what you think you should be for him".

"That's bullshit, Javy. How would you even come up with that and what's that even supposed to mean?" snorted Louis weirdly, feeling small and watched and just highly uncomfortable right now.

"This means that you had a guiltily conscience and tried to get rid of if by fucking your boyfriend, the person that is supposed to be in your wet dreams but wasn't. The person that is supposed to be the one turning you on like this but it wasn't him. Now you feel like the most horrible person on earth. Am I close?" looked Zayn pointedly at him and Louis knew that Zayn was sure about his words. He couldn't lie to him to save his life.

"Not just close. You're right" sighed Louis out defeatedly. "I feel horrible for even having this dream in the first place. Why can my mind not let it go? Luke doesn't deserve this. I really wanna be with him but my mind is making this almost impossible. I wanna be with him and only with him, completely with my whole heart and soul. Why is this so hard?".

"I don't know, Tommy. It shouldn't be. You deserve to be happy. You deserve someone like Luke but you can't force yourself to ...".

"I'm not forcing anything. I just need more time to get used to all of this. It's not only a month yet but I loved that idiot for years. My mind takes a bit longer to let go than me. It will be okay" interrupted Louis his best friend surely.

"If you're sure" mused Zayn uncertain.

"I am" stated Louis determined.

"Then you probably won't tell us what happened in the dream, huh?" wiggled Liam his eyebrows at him.

"It wasn't as great as you might think, Lima Bean. Yes, it was a wet dream and I obviously was about to do it with him again but Jake turned up and it got messy and later Josh popped up as well. I was pushed aside and had to watch just like in ... Doesn't matter. Wasn't all that great. Reality with Luke was way better" reported Louis almost traumatised.

Getting down and dirty with Harry in his dream was bad enough but Jake coming in and taking Harry away just for Harry to beg Louis to join them was even worse. But when he declined because he couldn't do it, Josh popped up and took over Louis' place in that horrible threesome and Louis was held in place to watch it happening. Really not a nice dream. And inappropriate because Louis had a boyfriend. But maybe that dream just meant to show him that it was impossible anyway and Louis wasn't meant to be with Harry in any life. There would always be someone else to take him away from Louis and he had to watch it happen. That's why he chose Luke even after this dream. Maybe even especially after this dream because it showed him Louis was right with his choice.

"But anyway, you wanted us to meet here. What did you want to tell us?" remembered Louis the actual reason they were all three here.

Before Zayn could answer, Àmber; Aria and Liron came into the bar and walked right over to them. Now Louis was sure it was a band thing and Zayn just wanted Liam to be here because he was worried if Liam was alone he would end up drinking again. Louis could relate.

"Hi, guys. So, what's the matter, Z?" came Àmber straight to the point.

"Now that you're all here I'm gonna tell you. Remember that I talked to a guy yesterday at the pub, Tommy?" faced Zayn him.

"Yeah, a ginger-haired average guy. Why?" remembered Louis darkly. He was too busy with Josh and Harry.

"Don't tell me we're here to hear your hook-up story" looked Liam at him in disbelief.

"No, but thanks for making me feel good, Lima Bean" glared Zayn at his friend.

"We're getting off topic here, boys. What was with that guy, Zayn?" coughed Aria to get their attention.

"His name is Evan and we talked for quite some time and no, we did not hook up, Lima Bean. Evan is a musician just like us and he sings in a bar every Friday evening. In this one" let Zayn them know, only earning confused looks.

"I mean, that's good for him, right? But what does that concern us?" wondered Liron befuddled.

"You did hook-up and want us to go his next gig" was Liam sure of it, making his friends laugh.

"No and now shut up" slapped Zayn the back of Liam's head. "I told you this because Evan arranged a meeting with his boss for us. We talked about our band and he wanted to listen to some songs. He loved them and offered to help us get a regular gig here, if we want to and his boss is convinced. The old band quit and now they're looking for a new Saturday night act".

"You mean The Dream Team could perform here?" blinked Louis at him in shock, frozen to his place.

"That's what I mean. We're here to meet Pablo now. Evan's boss. He wants to hear us play" confirmed Zayn proudly.

"Now as in right now? You couldn't give us a head up, could you?" gaped Aria at him flabbergasted.

"Nope. We're good at improvising songs. We're a dream team, after all" shook Zayn his head amusedly.

"You always have to make that joke, Z. You're the worst" laughed Liron heartfelt.

"Guys, I'm so happy for you. You're gonna rock this and get the gig" rejoiced Liam excitedly.

"I hope you're right" nibbled Louis worriedly on his bottom lip.

"Are you The Dream Team?" came a middle-aged black haired man walking over to them and they only nodded. "Funny name. Are you a dream team?".

"The best team, Sir" grinned Zayn and surprised them all by being so hyper.

"Then let's hear what you've got".

Nervously, they stood up from the table and walked over to the little stage. Everyone took their place by the instruments and Louis got the microphone ready. With one shared look they all knew which song they would play. Taking one last breath, they started playing their song Here We Are. It wasn't their deepest or most meaningful song but a fun one and a song that showed who they were nevertheless. At the beginning, Louis had his eyes closed but at soon as the chorus hit the room he opened them and was lost in the music, forgetting about his anxiety.

"Guys, this was fantastic. Evan didn't promise too much. If you want the job it's yours. Every Saturday you can perform here around 8 pm for an hour or so. Whatever feels right for you. We can talk about the payment backstage" offered Pablo to them, obviously impressed.

"I'm working in a café six days a week for five hours to pay my rent. Will this be enough to cover it and quit? Otherwise, that might be a bit problematic with the time" voiced Louis some concern. He hated his job but he needed it.

"Depends on how much you get paid. We can talk about this as well and if it doesn't cover all of it you can work here to get the rest of your money. This won't be a problem" assured Pablo him and Louis wanted to kiss him as happy as he was. This meant he could quit his horrible job.

Walking backstage to have some more quiet and peace, they talked about every detail of this gig job and later, Louis' new job at the bar. It wasn't much different from his former job because he would work in the afternoons as well but his new boss seemed to be a lot cooler than his old one. With this gig a dream came true for all of them. This was what they've always wanted. To achieve something with their band outside of school and Uni. Sharing their music with people.

After they had everything settled, they agreed on rehearsing tomorrow. On his way home, Louis stopped by the café to inform Aidan he would quit in the next few days, so he could get the paper stuff ready. Aidan wasn't happy about this but could do nothing about it. Feeling relieved and over the moon happy, Louis entered his flat and put a pizza in the oven. A few minutes later his doorbell rang, signalling that Luke was finally here. Joyfully, Louis jumped into Luke's arms and peppered his face with kisses, letting all of his happiness out.

"Why are you so happy, Darling?" asked Luke curiously.

"I have a new job and my band has a gig in a bar on Saturdays. Isn't that amazing?" beamed Louis at him, his legs wrapped around Luke's waist.

"This is amazing, Baby. We need to celebrate this" was Luke absolutely happy for him.

"Pizza is almost ready" told Louis him when Luke carried him into the kitchen.

"We could also go out and eat somewhere to treat you r ...".

"No, you're all I need, Love" cut Louis him off with a sweet kiss. "No fancy dinners or dates to celebrate this. Only you and me because you're all I want".

Immediately, Luke kissed him again and Louis could feel all of his emotions in the kiss. That feeling was overwhelming and his heart was beating in overdrive. The pizza smell reminded him that they had to stop if they didn't want to burn the kitchen down. Chuckling against each other's lips, they broke apart and got the pizza out. During their meal they talked lively and Louis just really felt at ease. He had everything he ever wanted now. He was studying with his friends at a great university, had a good job now, his band finally got a chance and he had a wonderful boyfriend, who really wanted him and their relationship was going great. There was nothing more he could ask for and right now, he wasn't doing that. He was happy in this very moment.

So, if their little celebration ended in them making out against the counter again like this morning after doing the dishes it was still perfect. Luke was perfect. Their sex was perfect. Their relationship was perfect. Only Louis' mind wasn't perfect, so he decided while Luke was walking them over to the table that he needed to tell him about Harry and their past. This would make things easier for him and more fair to Luke. And if their little celebration ended in Luke fucking Louis on the table while Louis deleted his dream from his brain for good with his eyes closed then no one needed to know about that.

Thoughts on the chapter? The band has a regular gig now and Louis is convinced Harry isn't meant to be with him and Luke is perfect. Are you with him? Do you understand him?
