"All I'm saying is that-"

"Enough, Niall!" Louis exclaimed, turning to face the blonde boy "All you've ever wanted was for Harry to stop being so mean to me and for me to get a real boyfriend" he pointed out angrily "And now that I've done that you're complaining" he stated "What's wrong with you?"

Niall shrugged "I don't like Jack" he admitted "And Harry's-" he cut himself off

"Harry's what?" Louis quizzed

"Harry's upset about it" Niall answered

Louis scoffed "Harry can't be that upset, seen as he was all set to go on a date yesterday" he replied

Niall frowned, knowing exactly how that date had come in to play "But he didn't" he said

"So?" Louis questioned "He'll probably make up for it, trust me" he said "I know him"

Niall sighed "You never listen" he muttered

Louis squinted at him "Because you're always changing your mind!" He snapped "You begged me to get Harry out of my life"

"He's not out of your life, though" Niall pointed out "You're torturing him!" He exclaimed

"How?" Louis cried out

Niall huffed "Christ, Louis, can't you fucking see that he's head over heels for you?"

Louis swallowed, shaking his head "No, I can't" he stated "If he was then he'd tell me so"

Niall scoffed loudly "No he wouldn't" he argued "He's far too proud"

Louis squinted at him "You're ridiculous" he replied easily "It's just a stupid crush, if that" he corrected "You can't convince me otherwise"

"Even though he gave up his date to literally walk the same route home with you?" Niall quizzed

Louis sighed loudly "Are you forgetting that he literally used to tease me until I cried?" He shot back

Niall shrugged "You were just kids then" he defended

Louis scoffed in reply, folding his arms across his chest "He made me cry last year!" He stated

"Hate to say it, buddy, but you're kind of sensitive" Niall replied, elbowing him playfully

Louis glared at him "I'm not!" He argued

Niall grinned "Yes you are" he confirmed "Which is why you're so attached to Jack already"

"You're dating Jack?" A voice piped up

Niall sighed in relief "Oh, thank god, Francis!" He exclaimed happily "Please talk some sense into him"

Francis pulled a face, eyeing Louis in confusion "I thought you dumped Jack" he admitted

Louis shrugged uncomfortably "I took him back" he replied, squirming under the gaze of both Francis and Niall

"Why?" Francis quizzed

"Uh, because he asked nicely?" Louis replied, the uncertainty evident in his voice

Francis rolled his eyes "He doesn't deserve you" he said softly

"See" Niall said loudly "This is why I love you, Francis" he stated "Now tell him that he should date Harry" he ordered

Francis almost choked on air "Harry Styles who calls me Franklin?" He quizzed "Fuck no!" He told Louis

Louis grinned "Told ya" he said to Niall smugly "Thanks, Francis" he added softly 

"Does he even want to date you?" Francis asked

"No" Louis answered, the same time as Niall said 'yes'

Francis looked between the two boys, confusion crossing his face "Well, Louis, I think that you could do better than both of them" Francis stated with a shrug

Louis shook his head immediately "That's not true" he replied 

Niall scoffed "You're stupid, Louis" he said "You're beautiful" he stated

Louis blinked "I uh-um-" he choked out

"Aw" Francis cooed "He's blushing" he pointed out

"Stop it" Louis squeaked out "I'm not" he muttered, turning to look away

At this, Zayn and Liam walked by, shoulder to shoulder "What are you blushing about, cutie?" Zayn quizzed, giving Louis a playful punch

Louis shook his head "Nothing, stop it" he pleaded, still embarrassed

Liam grinned "Alright" he muttered, half pitying Louis "But only if you agree to what we're about to ask you" he bargained

"How can I agree if I don't know what you're going to ask?" Louis quizzed, still flushed pink

Zayn grinned "He's smart, Liam" he pointed out "Not going to fall for that" he added and Louis smiled

"Fine" Liam said with a sigh "You have to agree to come to Zayn's tonight"

"What for?" Louis asked

Zayn shrugged "Just a small get together" he replied

"Tiny-" Liam confirmed 

"As minimal as it gets" Zayn cut in

Liam nodded "What he said" he concluded

Louis raised his brows "You're awful liar" he stated

"Fine" Zayn muttered "It's kind of a party" he said

"Only kind of" Liam pointed out making Louis giggled

Zayn looked up "You're invited too, Niall" he informed before turning to Francis "Oh and you too- uh, what's your name?" He quizzed

Francis blinked "Um, Francis" he answered

"Oh never mind, Harry hates you" Liam cut in

"Liam!" Louis and Zayn exclaimed 

The brown haired man shrugged in reply "It's true" he muttered

"Okay, fine" Zayn gave in "You're uninvited, Francis" he declared

"Um, okay-"

Niall burst out into laughter "What are you, five?" He quizzed "Besides I can't come tonight" he added, patting Francis on the shoulder comfortingly "See you guys later" he said, offering the three of them a smile before he and Francis walked away

Louis raised his brows at Zayn and Liam "That was mean" he stated

Zayn blinked "Don't look at me, he said it" he pointed out

Liam held up his hands in defence "You uninvited him" he replied, raising his brows at Zayn

"Okay, enough" Louis said "You were both mean" he announced "And I can't come anyway" he said "I have work to do"

"Louis!" Liam exclaimed

"See you later, guys" the younger boy called, turning on his heels and making his way to class

"This isn't over" Zayn promised, calling after him

***

Zayn was a man of his word and, as promised, he caught Louis the moment he finished his final class

"Louis, you have to come" Zayn pleaded, taking Louis' hand in his own "It'll be fun" he promised "I'll make sure of it"

Louis furrowed his brows "Zayn, I won't know anyone" he pointed out, letting Zayn lead him out of the school

"That's not true" Zayn replied "Liam and Harry are coming" he told the boy

Louis' brows furrowed "Harry's going?" He repeated

"Uh, yeah" Zayn answered "Why, is that a bad thing?" He quizzed "Thought you two were friends now" he added and Louis nodded quickly

"I mean, we are but-"

"Great!" Zayn exclaimed "So you're coming" he concluded

"Zayn" Louis said softly "I don't really want to go to a party tonight" he stated "I have plans"

Zayn pulled a face "With Jack?" He quizzed

"Does it matter?" Louis shot back, raising his brows at Zayn

Zayn smiled at him "Louis, I want you to come" he said

Louis frowned slightly, face pouty "It's going to be all your friends" he reminded

Zayn gave his hand a squeeze "Listen, one person is rude to you and I'll kick them out myself" he promised "And if anyone hits on you I kick them" he said

Louis giggled at this, sighing before finally nodding in response "Alright, fine" he agreed "I'll come to your party" he said

Louis should not have gone to the party

Or at best he should have at least dragged Niall along with him

"Where's the- where's the you know?" Louis asked Liam, waving his cup in the older man's face

Liam scoffed "Oh no you don't" he scolded, pulling the cup from Louis' hands "You've had enough" he stated "Here, let me get you some water" he said, taking Louis' hand and leading the boy to the kitchen

"Liam!" Louis whined, being pulled through the crowds and into the large kitchen area

Liam picked Louis up, placing the younger boy onto the counter

"Wow, you're strong" Louis praised, blinking at Liam in shock

Liam rolled his eyes "Stay there" he instructed, looking Louis in the eye briefly before filling his cup with water

Louis swung his legs idly, waiting for Liam to return "Come back quicker, I miss you!" He shouted

"Miss who?" A voice quizzed

Louis turned to look at the culprit, a grin appearing on his face "Zayn!" He exclaimed "You" he stated "I miss you" he muttered, making grabby hands for the older boy

Zayn smiled at him, taking Louis' hands and standing opposite him "Who put you up there?" He asked

"That would be me" Liam replied, appearing next to Zayn with the cup in his hands "Here, drink" he instructed, handing Louis the cup

"You're getting him drunk?" Zayn questioned, turning to Liam with wide eyes

Liam scoffed "Relax, it's water" he stated "I'm trying to sober him up" he added

Zayn nodded slowly, looking Louis over "How much did you drink?" He asked the boy

Louis shrugged, taking a sip of water "Not much, dad's being dramatic" he replied, glancing at Liam

"Dad wants to keep you safe" Liam told him

"Who the fuck is dad?" Zayn quizzed, lost

Louis giggled softly "Liam, duh" he answered

Zayn looked at Liam, blinking at him in a confused manner

Liam shrugged, unfazed "Beats me" he muttered to Zayn

"Ooh!" Louis said excitedly as a passerby handed him a bottle of alcohol "Thanks, stranger" he added, offering the boy a smirk

"Um, no, thank you" Liam said, snatching the bottle from Louis' hands and giving back to the boy "Try that again and I'll pour it over your head" he told him firmly

The passerby nodded blindly, taking the bottle back and taking a swing before leaving the kitchen

Louis huffed, glaring at Liam "You're no fun" he accused

Liam grinned "Dad's aren't meant to be fun" he shot back

 "Okay it's one thing him calling you dad, but you calling yourself it is just weird" Zayn pointed out, raising his brows at Liam

Louis scoffed "Leave my dad alone" he scolded, poking Zayn in the chest "You're just jealous because you're mum"

Zayn blinked, offended "Hold on a second-"

"What's going on over here?" Another voice piped in and Zayn breathed out a sigh of relief

"Thank god, Harry" he replied "Save me from the crazies" he pleaded

Louis pouted "M'not crazy" he promised "Am I, Harry?" He questioned, blinking up at the man

"No, baby, but you are drunk" he replied, reaching out to touch Louis' cheek "You alright?" He quizzed

Louis nodded, skin flushed "M'tired" he replied "And it's too loud in here"

Harry smiled sympathetically "C'mon" he said softly

"Huh?" Louis asked cutely, head tilted to the side in confusion

"Let's get out of here" Harry told him, holding out his hand for Louis

Louis blinked "I can't go home like this" he replied

Harry smiled "M'not going to take you home, baby, let just find somewhere quiet" he replied "Alright?"

Zayn sighed softly "Harry-" he started

"It's fine" Harry cut him off, turning to look at Zayn

"You're hurting yourself" Zayn muttered to Harry who brushed it off

"I'm good" he said quickly, taking Louis' hand and helping the boy down from the counted "Come on" he said softly to the boy

"Where are you going?" Louis asked, tone whiny as they left Zayn and Liam behind

Harry smiled at him, giving the boy's hand a squeeze "Trying to help you out, baby" he replied, leading Louis through the living room "Didn't you just say it was too loud?" He quizzed and Louis nodded

"Yeah, but where are you taking we?" Louis repeated, following Harry to the hallway and towards the stairs "Harry" he whined and the older boy chuckled, pulling Louis up the stairs and onto the landing

"Just need you to sit down, alright" Harry said tenderly "Wanna come in here?" He questioned, nodding towards a bedroom door "It's Zayn's room"

Louis nodded, letting Harry lead him into Zayn's bedroom

"Why here?" Louis quizzed, looking around the room giddily

Harry raised his brows "Would you prefer his mums room?" He questioned

"No, would you?" Louis asked and Harry barked out a laugh

The older boy rolled his eyes "You're an idiot" he replied

Louis poked his tongue out, laughing in reply as he walked towards Zayn's bed "So are you" he said easily

Harry grinned as Louis continued to giggle, sitting down on the bed and pulling Harry along with him. Harry stumbled slightly, pushing Louis back and pinning Louis beneath him

"Sorry- let me, uh-" Harry swallowed, cutting himself off and trying to pull back

Louis wrapped his legs around Harry's waist, pulling the man closer; still giggling

"Louis what are you-"

And then Louis was leaning in to kiss him

Harry felt his heart pound in his chest as Louis leant towards him; everything he'd ever wanted coming true at the touch of Louis' lips pressing against his own

Once they parted Harry blinked in shock, lips parted and cheeks flushed "Louis" he said softly

Louis leant closer to him "C'mon" he whispered, trying to press his lips back to Harry's briefly 

"Louis" Harry repeated, half pulling away despite the growing problem in his trousers "Y-you have a boyfriend" he reminded, practically gasping for air

Louis whined slightly "Don't care about him" he said, pulling on the collar of Harry's shirt to bring him back down "Care about you" he murmured, trying to kiss Harry again

Harry almost choked, blinking at Louis "You don't mean that" he whispered, shaking his head

"Harry" Louis whined, almost squirming in anticipation "Let me kiss you" he pleaded, leaning in closer, head tilted upwards

This time Harry didn't hold back, leaning down and kissing Louis just like he'd always wanted to, cupping the boy's face with his hands and nibbling on his bottom lip

Their noses brushed slightly and Harry smiled against Louis' lips, hands touching the softness of his skin, savouring the way he tasted; like strawberries and vanilla and alcohol 

Louis tasted like alcohol

It took every ounce of self control Harry had to pull himself back from Louis, their lips parting and their skin flushed

"Wait" Harry gasped out, moving back from the younger boy "No, wait- we can't" he said

Louis blinked, eyes wide and cheeks pink "Harry" he whined "Why" he asked softly "Don't you want me?" He quizzed, blinking at the older man, lips parted

Harry's eyes fluttered shut, running a hand over his face "Fuck, of course I want you" he answered, still hovering over the boy

"Then take me" Louis whispered, looking up at Harry with his doe eyes

"I can't" Harry told him, conflicted "Baby, you're drunk" he said softly

Louis shook his head wildly "No I'm not" he promised "I only had one tiny sip" he lied, pinching his fingers together for effect

"Louis" Harry said softly "If you still want me tomorrow, I'll give you everything" he told the boy "Just wait for me"

Louis blinked up at him slowly "Well can you hold me?" He asked "If nothing else, just hold me" he whispered

Harry nodded, teary eyed "Okay" he said gently, scooping Louis up and helping him into the bed so that the two of them could lay down

He wrapped his arms around the younger boy, sighing against his cheek "Just wait for me" he whispered again "I'll wait forever for you"

Louis was already asleep
