"Harry? Wake up, darling. You're going to be late for school," His mother called from outside his bedroom door successfully waking up Harry from his peaceful sleep. He groaned and kicked his blankets off as he listened to his mother make her way back down the stairs.

Harry could remember when he would loathe school, but he now somewhat enjoyed it and there was only one reason. Louis. In such a small amount of time, the sassy, out-going boy that harry had been crushing on for years had become one for the most important people in his life. Harry quickly got ready for school before making his way down the stairs.

"Okay, okay, I'm ready, are you still going to drop me off today?" Harry questioned when he made his way into the kitchen. He stopped when he noticed someone else in the kitchen, eyes widening.

"Sup, brother," Gemma smirked before standing from her chair and wrapping her arms around her younger sibling. It had been a while since they had seen each other.

"When did you get back?" Harry asked, eyes brightening with excitement. As much as Gemma would roast him and be mean to him, he loved her with everything he had.

"This morning," Gemma answered before narrowing her eyes, "Mum gave me some news and I'm quite upset you didn't tell me yourself."

Harry looked over at his mother who laughed as she sipped on her cup of tea. She was still wearing her fluffy night-gown and looked like she was probably going to go back to bed.

"She was going to find out anyway," Anne said. Gemma nodded in agreement before grabbing her car keys from the kitchen table.

"I'm taking you to school today and you're going to tell me all about your little boyfriend of yours."

Harry groaned before following his sister to her car outside the house. Harry and Gemma both got in and buckled up their seatbelts before Gemma began the car trip to Harry's school.

"Please don't interrogate me," harry begged making Gemma scoff.

"How else am I going to find out anything around here?" His sister wondered, "So tell me everything."

Harry sighed in defeat, "His name's Louis. He's super sassy and funny and honestly looks like an angel."

"Aww Harry!" Gemma cooed teasingly making Harry go bright red and stick his tongue out at her. He was hoping to avoid this, but he had to have known Gemma would find out eventually, even if Louis was only his fake boyfriend, "I want to meet him."

"What?"

"I want to meet him," Gemma repeated as she pulled into the parking lot of the high school, "Invite him to dinner tonight. I need to meet the guy that my brother's gone all lovey dovey for."

"I'll ask okay?" Harry raised his eyebrows as he grabbed his stuff, unbuckling his seatbelt. Gemma narrowed her eyes at her younger sibling.

"Make it happen, brother," Gemma said making Harry roll his eyes when he hopped out of the car. He closed his door behind him and waved to his older sister, "I love you so much, my favourite brother! Make sure you eat lunch and do all your school work!"

Harry went bright red once again when people in the parking lot began to stare at him laughing as he older sister drove away. Gemma was a pest. She would always take very possibility to embarrass him.

Harry made his way into the school, smiling when he spotted his 'boyfriend' standing by his own locker. The taller boy made his way over, tapping on Louis' shoulder who turned and gave Harry the biggest smile before grabbing him in a hug.

"Hi there, Harry," Louis chirped happily before pulling away from the hug. Harry smiled so widely it felt like his cheeks were going to burst.

"Hi, Lou," Harry replied. And that was when he realised they were not alone and Tyler was in fact standing there glaring at Harry darkly. Louis rolled his eyes before ran a hand down Harry's arm to get the boy's attention which of course worked.

"So how are you, curly?" Louis questioned, smile still bright. It was like all of Harry's troubles went away because of Louis' smile. Harry was so fucking smitten.

"I'm good, really good," Harry answered before clearing his throat, "So my sister Gemma made a surprise visit and she's kind of harassing me about having you come over for dinner tonight or something."

Harry's phone buzzed, and he quickly checked the message to see that it was in fact his sister.

I stg harry your boyfriend better come to dinner

I need to meet him otherwise I won't believe he's real

Bc lets face it, you're lanky and a tad awkward but its ok bc your brother and I love u

Harry rolled his eyes before holding his phone up for Louis to see, the smaller boy's eyes skimmed over the messages and let out a loud laugh.

"Dinner tonight? Of course, I want to meet the queen-"

"Louis, we have a date tonight," Tyler cut in sending another glare to Harry. Louis looked over at Tyler and frowned. He had completely forgotten about any plans he had made with Tyler. Harry almost felt his heart drop and so did Louis who absentmindedly rubbed Harry's arm apologetically.

"That's tonight?" Louis wondered looking at his boyfriend. His real boyfriend.

"Can't back out just because curly has sibling issues," Tyler shot back harshly looking at Harry with dark eyes, but Harry wasn't even paying attention to him. He was just watching Louis who seemed conflicted.

"I'm sorry, Harry," Louis almost whispered. Harry shook his head, grabbing Louis' hand in his before giving him a small smile.

"It's okay," Harry replied, "I'm going to go. I'll talk to you later."

And with that, Harry dropped louis' hand and walked away leaving the smaller boy with a pit in his stomach. Louis couldn't explain it he just wanted to chase after Harry and tell him he would come but he had obligations with his real boyfriend. Something he shouldn't just be dropping.

"Good decision, babe."

..........

"Can you stop giving your brother trouble and help with setting the table, Gemma?" Anne inquired shooting her daughter a glance when Gemma kept pestering Harry with questions. Gemma put her hands up in surrender.

"I warned him, Mum. I said if his boyfriend didn't come that I wasn't going to believe him."

"Gemma, I've met him. He's real," Anne informed making Gemma shake her head.

"Need to see it to believe it," Gemma shot back, "That's my motto."

"Look, he couldn't make it," Harry said, "Now stop bothering me about it."

Gemma leaned over to ruffle Harry's hair, "So touchy, Hazz."

Harry rolled his eyes at his older sister. He was bummed that Louis wasn't there. It was times like this when he would remember that Louis and he were only pretending to be in a relationship. Harry was so smitten that the whole thing was feeling real to him, but Louis wasn't his to show off to his family.

His thoughts are interrupted with the ringing of his doorbell, Harry looked over at his older sister who is holding a finger to her nose. He rolled his eyes at her childish antics, still not believing that she was the oldest before he made his way over to his front door.

"Sorry, I'm not interested in anything you're selling-" Harry began swinging the door opened but stopped once he saw who was standing at the door.

"In that case, sorry to waste your time, sweetcheeks."

"What- Louis, what are you doing here?" Harry wondered with wide eyes. Louis was looking stunning, Harry was almost incoherent. Louis just looked so cuddly and Harry just wanted to lock him in his house forever, so he couldn't leave.

"Tyler got caught up, so we had to cancel," Louis explained before being pulled into a tight hug.

"Thank you so much," Harry whispered. Louis smiled and tightened his arms around the taller boy, breathing in the calming scent of Harry.

"It's okay-"

"Oh my god, hello there!"

Harry groaned before pulling away from the hug to see Gemma watching the pair. Louis smiled at her and gave a her a little wave.

"Gemma, this is Louis. And Louis this is my sister, Gem- "

"You're so tiny and adorable," Gemma remarked making Louis scoff at her.

"I'm 5'9, I'm not tiny," Louis narrowed his eyes at her.

Gemma scoffed, "Yeah, okay, sure you are."

"Please don't be mean to my boyfriend," Harry defended circling an arm around Louis' waist. Louis couldn't help but lean into his touch, feeling a swarm of butterflies begin to flutter in his stomach. A feeling that he hadn't had in a very long time.

"I'm just happy he's real, now, come on, little one, let's go have dinner," Gemma smirked moving towards the kitchen, "I'll get you a plate."

Louis' phone buzzed as Harry closed the front door behind them and the smaller boy pulled out his phone and read the text that he had received.

"Everything all good, Lou?" Harry questioned making Louis nod and smile at Harry warmly.

"Yeah, no problem, just let me take off my shoes," Louis smiled sweetly. Harry nodded rubbing a circle on the smaller boys' hand.

"I'll go let mum know you're here. Just come into the lounge room when you're ready," Harry said before moving towards where Harry's mum was presumably. Louis sighed when Harry was out of sight before looking back at the text he had received before kicking off his shoes and making his way to the lounge room to start the dinner.

It's okay, we'll reschedule. Feel better soon babe xx
