Note to my american readers: 'CRISPS' are chips/potato chips, or whatever you guys call them

Anyway, proceed

"You visited him?" Niall questioned, giving Louis a look of confusion from across the small table

"Well he was sick" Louis replied, shrugging his shoulders at his best friend as he took a bite of his sandwich "And he asked nicely" he added in defense

"When does Harry ever do anything 'nicely'?" Niall scoffed and Louis giggled quietly

"Apparently he's only nice when he's unwell" Louis answered

"Well, is he alright now?" Niall quizzed, shoving a few crisps into his mouth

"He walked me to school as usual" Louis told him "Although..."

"Although what?" Niall questioned, raising his eyebrows at his best friend

"Something awkward happened" Louis replied

"Go on" Niall urged "What did he do?"

"He didn't do anything" Louis stated and Niall furrowed his eyes in confusion "It was his mother"

"His mother?" Niall repeated, scowling when Louis' snagged a few of his crisps "What did she do?"

"She saw me sneaking out of their house" Louis replied, blushing at the memory "It was kind of embarrassing"

"She caught you sneaking out of her house?" Niall echoed "Well, what did she say?"

"She knew that I was there to see Harry" Louis explained "And... she asked if we were dating now"

"What did you tell her?" Niall asked

Louis gave him an incredulous look "Obviously I said no!" he stated "Obviously" he repeated

Niall rolled his eyes "What else did she say?" he questioned

"She invited me and my mum over for dinner tonight" Louis sighed

"But you politely declined, right?" Niall replied

Louis shuffled uncomfortably and Niall's jaw practically dropped

"You said yes?!" he shrieked "Louis, why would you do that?"

"Because she's so lovely, Niall" Louis replied in defense "I couldn't just say no to her"

"You're an idiot" Niall concluded

Louis rolled his eyes, taking another bite of his sandwich

"You do realise that this means you'll have to spend the evening with Harry" Niall stated

"I know" Louis said shortly

"And you're not bothered by that?" Niall questioned

"Well our parents are going to be there" Louis replied "What's the worst that he could do?"

***

Louis was wrong

Wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong

He had been a complete and utter idiot to think that having his mother there would stop Harry from being his usual inappropriate self

It started off pretty normal, Louis and his mother made the short walk to Harry's house together and they greeted Harry and Anna with wide smiles

Harry had started the night innocently, giving Jay a kiss on her cheek as the woman gushed about how much he'd grown and how mature he now looked

Harry then proceeded to turn his attention to Louis, giving the boy a polite kiss on the cheek and telling him that he 'didn't look ugly' today, in fact he looked 'quite lovely'

'Wow, thanks, Harry' is what Louis had replied, rolling his eyes at the boy before following his mother into the living room

Jay proceeded to quiz Harry about school and university and Anne had done the exact same thing with Louis all the way through dinner

But after that, is when things began to get a little tricky

"Harry, what are you doing?" Louis questioned when Harry leaned across Louis

"Listening" Harry replied, straining his ears to try and hear what Jay and Anne were talking about in the kitchen

"That's rude" Louis stated, pushing Harry away

"They're talking about you" Harry told him, making Louis' eyes go wide "Don't you want to hear what they're saying about you"

"Well, I certainly don't want you to hear what they're saying about me" Louis replied, raising his eyebrows at Harry

"Why not?" Harry questioned with a smirk "Are you embarrassed, Louis?" he asked and Louis rolled his eyes

"Why would I be embarrassed?" Louis quizzed "It's not like they're going to be saying anything bad about me"

"Why's that?" Harry pondered

"Because" Louis drawled "I haven't done anything wrong"

"You dated Jack-ass" Harry shot back "That was very wrong and disgusting and repulsi-"

"Shut up!" Louis huffed, elbowing Harry

"Careful" Harry teased "I'm still rather unwell" he stated "It would be a shame if you made me feel even worse by hurting me"

Louis scoffed at this "You're ridiculous" he concluded, standing to his feet

"Where are you going?" Harry asked, looking up at Louis

"Home" Louis answered "You're annoying me"

Harry stood up quickly, locking his arms around Louis' waist from behind "You're staying right here, baby" Harry told him, muttering the words into Louis' neck

"Harry!" Louis squealed, wriggling away from the boy "Stop, that tickles" he complained

"If I let go, do you promise to stay?" Harry questioned

"Alright" Louis replied with a exasperated sigh

Harry let go of Louis slowly, but not before licking the boy's earlobe

Louis shrieked at this, swatting Harry on the shoulder "You're disgusting!" he stated, glaring up at the taller man as he wiped his ear protectively

Harry grinned at Louis before speaking "Come on" he said "Let me give you a house tour" he added, holding his arm out for Louis to take

Louis looked at Harry's outstretched arm with raised eyebrows "I've seen your house before" he stated "I was here yesterday, remember"

Harry hummed at this "I guess you're right" he agreed "But I'd still like to take you to my bedroom, Louis" he explained

Louis squinted at Harry, trying to cyfer whether Harry was being vulgar or not

"Oh, come on" Harry said with a sigh, rolling his eyes at Louis "I didn't mean it like that"

"I hope not" Louis muttered, taking Harry's arm and letting the taller boy lead him out of the living room and into the hallway

"You'd be happy to know that I wouldn't ever sleep with you" Harry stated and Louis smiled

"I'm delighted to hear it" Louis replied "And I'm sure that you'll be thrilled to know that I feel exactly the same"

"Everyone wants to sleep with me, Louis" Harry boasted "Don't kid yourself into thinking that you're different"

Louis instantly dropped Harry's arm "I wasn't the one who got hard at the party last week" he stated, folding his arms across his chest "Remember that?" Louis questioned "You had a boner after seeing me shirtless"

"I don't know what you're talking about" Harry replied, his face flushing slightly

"Then why are you blushing?" Louis questioned, raising his eyebrows at Harry

"On second thoughts, maybe you should go home, if all you're going to do it lie" Harry half choked out

"On second thoughts, maybe I should stay and torment you with the truth" Louis replied before striding into Harry's bedroom and leaving the taller boy awestruck in the hallway

After regaining his confidence, Harry chased after Louis

"If we're going to get all technical, I'd like to kindly remind you that you once told me that you were my home" Harry stated, sitting on his bed

"I neve-"

"Oh, but you did" Harry cut Louis off, smirking at the boy

"W-well Zayn and Liam said that you have a crush on me" Louis challenged

Harry's nose twitched at this, and he pulled Louis onto the bed with him "Jack-ass told me that he wouldn't date you because all you talk about is me" he stated

Louis' eyes widened at this, but he spoke up nonetheless "Your mum asked if we were together yesterday because you follow me around like a lost puppy" Louis replied

"Well, just now, your mother was telling my mother that she thinks that you're in love with me" Harry shot back and Louis' mouth parted

"Th-that's not true" he protested

"I know" Harry said with a smile "I'm just teasing" he added, poking Louis' nose

"You're an arsehole" Louis complained, laying face up on Harry's bed

"You're an arsehole" Harry echoed, following Louis' actions to that they were both laid together on Harry's bed

"I am not" Louis scoffed, turning to raise his eyebrows at Harry "I'm quite lovely" he corrected, using the words that Harry had said to him earlier

Harry hummed at this, looking up at the ceiling "Quite" he repeated, closing his eyes

"So you agree that I'm lovely?" Louis questioned

"I said quite, Louis" Harry answered "Don't get ahead of yourself, baby"

"It's better than nothing, though" Louis pointed out

Harry hummed again, this time in agreement "That's true" he stated

"So, what?" Louis asked "You're not going to argue with me?" he questioned

"Would you like me to argue with you?" Harry quizzed, opening his eyes to look at Louis

"N-no, of course not" Louis said quickly "I just don't understand why you're being so...cooperative"

"Because my mother asked me to" Harry replied simply

"Oh, so you listen to your mother?" Louis said, his tone slightly teasing

"Are you making fun of me?" Harry questioned

"M'not making fun of you, Harry" Louis promised "It's a good trait, respecting your mum and all that stuff"

"I suppose it is" Harry agreed

"I like her" Louis said abruptly "Your mum, I mean" he clarified

And no, Harry certainly did not think about Louis coming round for dinner more often. And he obviously didn't think about their families spending time together. And he honestly didn't think about letting Louis meet more of his family

And he genuinely didn't think about his mum being Louis' mother in law
