Recap
"I need a favour from you," Louis said quietly. Harry, any other situation would coo at how tiny and shy Louis really was up close and personal but he couldn't do that in front of Louis himself.

"Yeah, what is it?" Harry wondered curiously. He knew that whatever he would like, Harry would most likely do it for him. Harry was far too gone to decline but what Harry didn't expect Louis to say ever was;

"I need you to be my boyfriend."

_________________________________________

"Wait, what?" Harry questioned with wide eyes. He had to of misheard Louis. There is no way that Louis said what he thought he heard. However, Louis smiled slightly at the awkward boy in front of him. Harry reminded Louis what he had used to be like before he had became friends with Zayn.

"I need you to be my boyfriend," Louis repeated before looking around to see if anyone was in ear shot. Harry looked around too trying to see what Louis was looking for because Harry can be stupid like that sometimes.

"W-why?" Harry frowned. Louis had to be either joking or really desperate if he was telling Harry he need to be his boyfriend because Louis Tomlinson could get anyone at that school. Hell, he was part of the reason half of the school including Harry discovered they were gay. God damn his sexy curves that can lead a sexually confused boy to a hard-on in gym class where the teacher figures it's a good idea to point it out. Okay so Harry will tell the story some other time.

"You see, my mother recently discovered that I am gay. It's news to me how but when she asked me how I knew I was gay... I sort of panicked and said I had a boyfriend and that's what helped me realised and that was okay.. until she said she wanted to meet him," Louis explained with a nervous laugh.

"So you need me to be your boyfriend for a-"

"But he already has a boyfriend, don't you darling?" Tyler appeared beside Louis giving him a kiss on the cheek before glaring over at Harry. Harry's eyes widened because well fuck, he could've needed that information before. He made a mental note to talk to Liam later on.

"Yeah but I knew that my mum would never approve of him unless she had time. She's a picky person when it comes to the people my siblings and I date. But we don't have time because she wants him to come over for dinner on Saturday night.." Louis said his eyes on Harry.

"And where do I come in? You said your mum is picky," Harry reminded still confused where this was going. Louis smiled cutely at Harry and Harry tried his hardest not to return because god damn, his smiles are contagious.

"She remembers that you and I had that English assignment together. She remembered that you came to our house and she said you were really polite so when she found out, she asked if it was you because apparently she said that we had chemistry or some shit.. So I lied and said yeah that's my boyfriend. Now here we are, with my real boyfriend standing beside me helping me ask you if you could just pretend that you are my boyfriend for a while?" Louis wondered. Harry thought about it for a moment. Should he agree?

"Yes," Harry nodded. Louis squeaked and pulled him into a bone crushing hug. Tyler watched them with glaring eyes before the bell rang and Harry and Louis broke a part.

"I'll see you after class, babe," Tyler told Louis before pecking his lips and disappearing down the hall. Harry's insides turned at the small kiss, he wishes he could kiss him that easy.

"Well I guess I'll see you soon then?" Harry raised his eyebrows at Louis who was now texting away on his phone. Louis looked up from his phone and laughed at Harry. Harry frowned in confusion because what was so funny about what he said?

"You're coming with me," Louis informed grabbing onto Harry's hand and taking him towards the front of the school. Harry shook his head.

"What about class?"

"We're skipping," Louis chirped in a sing-song voice. There were near the doors of the school now, Harry was just letting himself be tugged away from his last class.

"No, we aren't," Harry replied. Louis laughed loudly at him.

"Yeah, we are. You and I are going to spend some quality time together whether you like it or not," Louis told him as they were now walking towards Louis' car in the parking lot. Louis unlocked it with the keys in his pocket.

"And what if I don't?" Harry wondered. He knew he did but he couldn't seem to eager to spend time with him because he was worried that if he made the wrong move that Louis would change his mind and ask someone else to be his fake boyfriend.

"Then I hope you like getting kidnapped," Louis smirked cheekily as he hopped inside his car. Harry couldn't help but smile himself and sit in the passenger seat because if Louis Tomlinson wanted to kidnap him, who was he to deny him of that? Okay,, he was a human being with rights but none of that matters right now to him.

Louis smiled wider when he saw that Harry had gotten into the car. He had thought for a moment there that Harry was just going to turn around and go back to class but he had actually surprised Louis.

"Where are we going?" Harry questioned looking over Louis once he buckled himself in with his seat belt. Louis did the same with his before putting his keys into the ignition and pulling out of the car park.

"What's the first place that pops in your head?"

"Disneyland?"

"One that's realistic and not expensive, please," Louis laughed as they drove down the main road that leads to the school. Harry hummed but came up blank.

"I got nothing," Harry confessed. Louis rolled his eyes at him playfully.

"Useless aren't you?" Louis teased smiling brightly. Harry watched with adoration when wrinkles formed at the edges of his eyes when Louis smiled.

"Maybe a little," Harry replied then sighed, "Maybe a whole lot."

"Well then we have something in common," Louis shot back before he took a right turn. Harry looked out the window trying to see if he could notice where they were going but he couldn't see anything that gave him a clue.

"So, you and Tyler huh?" Harry questioned with eyebrows raised. Louis smiled lightly before taking another turn. he sent a quick turn. They were driving on what looked to be a dirt road, Harry didn't even know there was anything like this around in this area.

"Yeah," Louis laughed, "Me and Tyler."

"How long have you guys been together?" Harry wondered. he had no idea why he was interested in their relationship, maybe he was just curious, maybe he was just jealous and wanted to know what he had to go up against to make Louis his.

"Eight months next month," Louis informed still with a smile on his face. Louis couldn't help but smile when he was thinking of his boyfriend. Harry just wished that Louis would smile like that when he was thinking about Harry but hey, Harry was slightly obsessed with Louis so that was perfectly normal. You can't exactly blame him.

"How come you guys aren't that publicly together then?" Harry asked frowning. he didn't even know that they were dating and that only meant that they kept it to themselves since if them being together was public knowledge, he would know since Niall was right into the gossip of the school. Louis' smile vanished off his face.

"He says that we should keep it to ourselves for a while. Tyler said that we should keep it as our little slice of heaven then we can tell everyone. It's just.." Louis said quietly, his voice was soft when he trailed off and he stayed quiet.

"Just what?"

"Sometimes I just feel as if he has no intention of telling anyone. I know I'm the one that is creating a fake relationship so I don't have to tell my mother but that's only because I want to give her time to get to know the real him. I have full intentions of telling her though when he's never even told his best friend about us," Louis replied with a sigh.

"Do you love him?' Harry inquired. He knew from the sad smile that formed on Louis' lips that the answer was obvious. He only wished that Louis would even like him in that way.

"Yes and I think he loves me too. He says he does at least," Louis answered which made Harry smile sadly back at him to which Louis looked away from the road for a moment to look at him. Harry glanced back out at the window then back at Louis.

"Then you have nothing to worry about, Lou," Harry told him. Louis sent him a real smile.

"You're a really good guy, Harry," Louis responded which made Harry smile more. Harry nodded and let out a laugh.

"It's what I've been trying to tell you," He joked which also made Louis laugh.

"Whoops, my bad."

They then drove in silence for a moment, both not knowing what to say to make a conversation. Sure, they've spent time with each other before but not knowing that for the next few weeks they will be 'boyfriends'.

The car slowed down and then stopped altogether. Louis unbuckled his seatbelt before turning and smiling at Harry sweetly, Harry couldn't help but return the same gesture. Louis' smile was practically contagious.

"You'll like it here, it gets really pretty around the afternoon," Louis informed pointing towards the sun that was beginning to set. Harry wanted to say that Louis was looking really pretty that afternoon but he kept his mouth shut since he knew that Louis would probably think that he's a creep. Harry instead looked around as Louis stepped out of the car. It was like Louis had just driven into the forest but there was a makeshift parking lot that had dirt as the cement. Harry stepped out of the car as well and Louis locked the car.

"Wouldn't want Humphrey the bear to steal my car," Louis joked putting his keys back into the pocket of his denim jacket. Harry rolled his eyes playfully at the boy.

"Wouldn't think he knew how to drive," Harry said raising one eyebrow. Louis shoved him playfully with a loud laugh, Harry took notice to the way he formed wrinkles on the edges of his eyes. It just made his laugh and smile that much cuter. God, Harry needed to cool it.

"You're such a pest," Louis shot back but he couldn't stop smiling so it didn't seem like he was generally trying to insult Harry. He liked Harry, to be honest, he was being honest before when he said that Harry was a good guy.

"That's what my sister Gemma tells me," Harry smiled gleefully. It was true, it felt as if every time Gemma came to visit she would call him a pest at least ten or more times.

"In that case, I need to meet your sister and tell her that she's going to do great things in her life," Louis laughed making Harry nod.

"She already is, she works at Walmart."

Louis rolled his eyes at him before sighing contently.

"Then she's doing better than me since I'm still unemployed," Louis replied with a laugh he then looked over at a trail that went through the forest and gestured for Harry to follow him when he began to walk up the trail. Harry instinctively let his eyes travel down to Louis' ass when Louis climbed over a rock. Harry groaned quietly to himself, he needed to find some self-control and try to keep it together.

"Are you coming or what? Normally when I spend time with people, they actually spend time with me not just stand there," Louis teased and Harry blushed before he followed the trail with Louis. Harry could hear the crickets chirping in the bushes and frogs croaking from a stream close by. They walked in silence, just soaking themselves in their own thoughts. Louis was thinking about how he couldn't believe that Harry had even agreed to this deal, he didn't know if his mother would believe them but he hopes that she does so she can see that he doesn't just date dickheads, she wants her to see that if she looks past the bad boy exterior that she could see the sweet and loving boyfriend that Tyler really is. Harry, on the other hand, was having a difficult time in his own thoughts. He couldn't help that Louis sometimes made him extremely sexually frustrated, he's only human after all.

"Do you mind telling me where you're taking me?" Harry wondered curiously moving a branch out of the way so it wouldn't him in the face. Louis did the same a few steps ahead of him and the branch nearly came and smacked him in the face. Louis laughed once he saw what had happened and he murmured a quiet apology.

"No, I don't mind telling you, Harold. I'm just going to leave it as a surprise so wait, precious," Louis informed smiling at Harry who just rolled his eyes at him. It was weird to feel this comfortable with someone he barely knew, Louis was thinking the exact same thing because Louis was one of those people who were really awkward until they knew the person but with Harry, it felt like they had been friends for years. Maybe Harry was just the type of person who made you feel important and wanted.

"Are we there yet?" Harry asked impatiently. Louis rolled his eyes at Harry as Louis pushed away another branch, he held it up this time though letting Harry walk through without nearly getting hit in the face with it. Harry smiled at him sweetly as they continued walking.

"Calm down, donkey," Louis shot back.

"That's great. We've gotten to Shrek references," Harry groaned with annoyance. Louis went to open his mouth to make another reference but then Harry glared at him and Louis laughed, remembering that he still hadn't answered Harry's question.

"Yes, it's just up here," Louis told him before pushing a medium sized rock to the side, Louis walked into what looked to be a clearing and Harry followed behind him and looked around. There were a pond and a makeshift seat near it. There also appeared to be a medium-sized hut or cubby house next to a tree.

"Where are we?" Harry frowned as Louis smiled at him and gestured for him to sit next to him on the makeshift seat so Harry did. Louis looked out at the pond and smiled sadly. It was obvious by the way that Louis looked around the place, that it meant a great deal to him. This was Louis' own personal world.

"It's just a place I like to come to," Louis said quietly. Harry placed a hand on his shoulder and rubbed soothing circles with his thumb, Louis' body relaxed slightly from his soft touch.

"You don't have to tell me now why it's so important, Louis. You can tell me now or even a year from now because I will always be here to listen, okay?" Harry wondered with a soft smile on his lips. Louis smiled back at him.

"You know what, Harry? I think we will be great friends."

Ouch, being friend zoned can hurt.
