Hi, guys. Guess who's back?! Didn't think I would do that but here we are now. I started writing this story as a book outside of this website but I decided to give you the Larry fanfic version of it. But I will also upload the actual version of this story with my original characters someday when it's finished maybe ( or earlier). So bare in mind this was never supposed to be a Larry fanfic and I have some original characters in here that I didn't rename for this version. Maybe you still wanna read it.

"Haz?" heard Harry the voice of his best friend Louis. He was looking for him but Harry was hiding away.

Cowering behind a big tree in front of a little pond, Harry was hugging his knees to his chest. He tried to curl in on himself and hide from everything. Suddenly, he heard some rustling close to him and a second later, someone sat down next to him. Harry knew it was Louis. He knew that smell and would always recognise his movements without having to see his face.

"I knew I would find you here. You're always here when you wanna be alone" scooted Louis closer to him.

"Alone means only one person, Lou" mumbled Harry against his knees.

"We're practically one person and I always thought I'm special, Haz" replied Louis softly.

"You are special, Lou" rested Harry his chin on his knees, still not looking at Louis.

"Your mum said she asked you about tomorrow and then you suddenly ran away. What's the matter, Pup? You don't wanna go to school?" asked Louis gently.

"I do but I'm nervous and um ..." trailed Harry off.

"Scared?" guessed Louis and Harry only nodded.

"Me too, Haz. I think everyone is a little bit scared. Even the ones saying they're not. Secondary school seems scary but I know it will be alright" stroked Louis with his hand over Harry's back.

"For you because everybody loves you. But I'm different. I'm one year younger than everyone and I'm clumsy and weird and ...".

"Absolutely adorable" cut Louis him off. Harry just silently looked at him. "It doesn't matter that you're younger, Haz. You skipped a whole year. That means you're smarter than any of them, apart from me, of course. And you're a good different and not weird and your clumsiness is the cutest thing in the world. Just never try out for the football team, Love".

Harry had to chuckle at Louis' words. He always knew what to say. That was one of the reasons they have been such good friends since he can remember.

"What if they don't like the way I dress and make fun of me? Maybe I won't find any friends and be alone for years" remarked Harry still anxious.

"That's their loss. If they don't appreciate the great boy you are then they don't deserve you or your friendship. There is nothing wrong with your clothes, Sunshine" smiled Louis soothingly at him, referring to Harry loving and always wearing clothes with flowers and hearts, very feminine. "And by the way, you will always have me".

"Even if you're all popular and everybody hates me?" checked Harry with big eyes.

"This won't happen but yeah, even then. We will always be friends, Haz. Nothing could ever change that. You're my reason to smile and you know that" flicked Louis Harry's nose and Harry giggled at that.

"Thanks, Lou. I really love you" bit Harry the inside of his cheek.

"Love you too, Pup. Swings now?" tilted Louis his head aside.

With a bright smile, Harry jumped up and sprinted over to the swings on the nearby playground but Louis was faster than him because he was older and taller. Panting heavily, they reached the swings and sat down. Laughing carefreely, they tested who could swing higher like they did for years. This is the place where they first met all these years ago. Their mums had met up because they have been friends since Uni and thought it would be a good idea to make their sons meet now that they were living in the same city again. And it really was. For seven years they've been the best of friends now and Harry knew it would stay this way forever.

Nervously, Harry was walking towards the huge school building. He had barely any nails left from all the biting. He knew it was ridiculous to be nervous but he couldn't change his feelings. Today everything could change and he wasn't ready for that.

"Are you nervous again, Haz?" appeared Louis behind him.

"Yeah. I don't know why though. It's just Freshman Year. What could possibly happen?" turned Harry around to his best friend, who was already looking at him with those piercing blue eyes.

"Well, you could become the most popular boy in school and fall in love the most perfect person ever and just abandon me while I cry after you, lying in the dirt" fake cried Louis dramatically.

"You're such a drama queen" rolled Harry his eyes fondly at him.

"What do you expect from a drama student?" shrugged Louis unbothered.

"Nothing less than drama every day" replied Harry cheekily, earning a gasp from Louis.

"You get your drama, cheeky bastard" pointed Louis with a finger at him.

"You think Niall is already there?" changed Harry the topic.

"Probably not. You know him. He hates school" entered Louis the building with Harry.

"As much as you but you're still here" countered Harry.

"Because I have you" shot Louis back smoothly.

"And you're damn lucky, I might say" laughed Harry heartfelt.

"It's such a blessing" snorted Louis sarcastically.

"No idea why I love you. You're so mean to me" pouted Harry cutely.

"Naw, aren't you the cutest?" cooed Louis at him.

"Urgh, I should have stayed in bed" gagged Niall behind them at the scene.

"Nialler!" exclaimed Harry happily and engulfed his friend in a tight hug.

"Missed me that much, huh?" chuckled Niall.

"Damn much".

"I'm getting jealous over here" coughed Louis loudly.

"Hazza, your hubby wants attention" broke Niall free from the embrace.

"You get my attention when I'm done here" bit Harry back a smile.

"But I want it every second of the day" was it now Louis' turn to pout.

"You two are too much for me" shook Niall his head at them.

"Let's get going".

Harry survived his first day of Freshman Year with Louis and Niall by his side. He liked most of his courses and the people seemed to be nice, for now. During Lunch break they sat down at a table in the cafeteria and Louis was joined by a blonde girl, obviously died blonde, and a brunette one.

"Haz, these are Àmber and Aria. They're in our Spanish class and we got along, so I thought why not introduce them to my Haz?!" introduced Louis the two girls.

"Hi, nice to meet you" smiled Harry politely at them.

"Nice to meet you, too" smiled the brunette girl Aria back.

"When you're not in Spanish does this mean you have French?" asked Àmber directly. This straight-forwardness reminded Harry of Louis. That's how they had met Niall.

"Yeah, I like it" nodded Harry curtly. He wasn't good at meeting new people.

"Wow, I suck at it. That's why I chose Spanish" marvelled Àmber impressed.

"Yeah, only because of that" snorted Aria sassily.

"Sometimes I hate you, Becca" glared Àmber at her friend.

"Becca?" looked Niall confusedly at them.

"My second name is Rebecca. She calls me Becca since we met" explained Aria to them. "And I call her Lia. Short for Delia".

"Ah, that makes sense. Just like these two call each other Lou and Haz. Could have also been Will and Ed, but who cares?!" pointed Niall at Louis and Harry.

"We don't know each other for longer than a few minutes but can I ask you something?" asked Àmber hesitantly.

"Yeah, sure. How else can we become friends?" faced Louis her now with Haden's head on his shoulder.

"Are you two together?".

That question made Harry laugh and shortly after Louis joined his laughter. Àmber and Aria just watched them while Niall almost fell of his chair. They have gotten this question more than once in their lives and Harry's sister Gemma always joked about them being married but that was about it. Nothing more to add here.

"No, definitely not" brought Harry out between his laughter.

"People always think that because we're so close but no, we're just friends" told Louis her a bit calmer than Harry.

"That's nice. At least you're not mad at me for asking. You know, could have been that ... yeah" trailed Àmber off.

"I know what you mean. We could have both been straight as hell and could have snapped at you" understood Louis what she was trying to say. "Don't worry. I'm gay, so no need to be careful".

"Me too. Now I'm really relieved" sighed Àmber out.

"Not topic related, but I love your shirt, Harry" spoke Aria up.

"Thank you" blushed Harry a bit. He was wearing a pink shirt with different flowers on it.

"Aw, he is blushing. You're so adorable" cooed Aria at him.

"Told you so" grinned Louis satisfied.

"Yeah, yeah. But you're not objective. You love m ..." wanted Harry to counter cheekily but froze in his place when he spotted the most handsome guy he has ever seen.

"Hazza?" waved Niall his hand in front of Harry's eyes but Harry didn't notice that.

Harry was focused on this walking god. He as blonde and had blue eyes, as far as Harry could see. He was pretty tall and had a stunning smile. In that moment, Harry knew he was hopelessly lost.

"Guess he just fell in love with that guy over there" snickered Niall amused.

"Who? That tall one?" looked Aria around.

"Yeah, definitely not. He probably remembered something important. Did I mention that I met a guy named Zayn? He told me he is into Arts" said Louis weirdly.

"Really? Introduce me to him, yeah? But now I wanna find out the name of Harry's first crush" was Niall more focused on that guy than Louis.

"Not a crush. He is not even Harry's type. Right, Haz?" tore Louis him out of his trance.

"Definitely my type".

So, that's it for the start. I wrote that today because I started by book first with the first chapter but then had the feeling a prologue was needed. I just wrote it now and hope it's okay. Just a bit of a trip down memory lane before we get into the story. 

How did you like it?
