Saturday rolled around and Harry was anxious to know what was going on but Louis wouldn't budge and Liam had no information for him either.

"Why can't you just tell me?"

"B-because you wouldn't b-believe me-me."

"Yes I would." He sighs sitting on the island while Louis packed food for them and the boys. "I'm not gonna eat that. I'm going on a strike, F your picnic."

Louis laughs, "You-you're so d-dramatic. You don't h-have to-to eat but you're s-still going w-with."

"No I'm not. I refuse to go on a double date with the love rabbits over there so you can distract me from your secret."

"Is that so?" He says moving between Harry's legs and looks up at him, "Yep." He replies not making eye contact.

"This is n-not a date." He spoke slowly so he'd stutter less and Harry knew he was serious, "If you-you don't come... you c-can kiss that forgive-forgiveness goodbye..."

The man looks at him, "Just tell me.."

"I-I want you to-to see and under-understand... Please..." He begged not really feeling like arguing anymore. Just wanted to pull the bandage off and answer every question Harry asked later.

"Okay." Harry kisses his head, "Sorry."

They pull into the park early and Louis leads them to a picnic table hidden away from all the others.

As they set up, parents and kids start filing in across the way, setting up chairs and letting their kids run off to practice with their coaches.

"I think we should leave. There's like a game or something starting, they might need this table." Harry says standing up and Niall follows.

"No-no they w-won't. It's f-fine." Louis looks at Liam for help. "Oh- now?" He just nods and picks up his phone texting someone.

"Sit down guys. They won't miss one table, looks like they bring their own stuff anyways."

"I'm too stressed for this." Harry sighs sitting down facing the kids. "I remember playing footie.. I sucked and quit the first day." Everyone but Louis laughs. "What you do instead?" Niall asked.

"Piano. My dad hated it and mom loved it at first then it switched." He laughs again, "Bet they're good tho. You seen them play Louis?"

"Y-yeah... Number 16 is my-my f-favorite.."

"You can't show favoritism, babes. Sure they're all great players." He laughs and shakes his head but looks at 16 wondering why she's his favorite.

"Is that?" Niall whispers Louis who just gives him a obvious look.
