Louis woke up the next day with a terrible terrible headache and a vow to never, ever drink again.

Louis rolls over, comfortable in his own bed. He doesn't really remember getting here last night, but it doesn't matter to him. He's safe and there no pain in his backside. Only in his head. He's take that a million times over though.

Louis opens his phone to see some texts from H, a frown on his face.

H: I know you're pissed, and So am I, but I need to know if you got hone safe, okay? Text me.

H: Hopefully you're still sleeping. I just wanted to check in, in case you didn't see my first text.

H: Ok, Louis. It's 2 now. Can you please answer me? Im scared and I just need a text.

Louis almost immediately sends one, saying that he's here. He then goes back and reads their conversation from last night.

As Louis read through the dirty messages, and cringes at the pictures and videos, he feels as though he could pass out again and sleep another 8 hours. He can't fucking believe himself, or H.

The embarrassment comes when the paragraph emerges. Louis reads over it several times. He had never felt so embarrassed.

To be honest, he had never even considered seeing H in that way. He knows the two have joked around in a flirting manner, and that they have started to become seemingly closer. But romantically? It had never crossed his mind.

He wants to be with Zac, thats why it hadn't crossed his mind.

H: Thank god. I was really worried.

H: Look, Im sorry about last night. I had a little too much to drink myself. I agree, it was a drunken mistake. If i thought that we would work like that, then I would've came forward about who I was when I first got your name.

Louis: Well, it sounds like Im starting to proper fancy you, doesnt it?

H: It wouldn't work Louis. Trust me. Besides, you seem happy with Zac. I think you should see where that goes, slow though, okay? Be careful.

Louis: Yeah, I will be. And I trust you. Im sorry I was such a bitch last night

H: Its ok, Lou. I get it. Anyway. What are your plans for today?

Louis: I have a date, with Zac. Kind of? Im just going to his house to watch a movie with him and have takeout pizza.

Louis: On second thought it sounds like a dream date

H: I have a feeling you like to be spoiled though, with big fancy dates.

Louis: I mean, yes, that would be amazing, but so is this. I think its cute. Intimate. even.

H: Seems pretty cheap to me

Louis: H, you were just rooting for him a few minutes ago, whats your deal

H: Nothing mate, Im just saying

Louis: Dont call me mate again, souns weird. like when Mr. Styles calls me Son. I hate it

H: Lol. I know. Anyway, MATE. What time is this fancy date of yours?

Louis: I'm going over there at 6, so I should get in the shower soon.

H: You think hes going to try and make things official tonight?

Louis: Well if he doesn't, i will

H: Thats the spirit!

Louis: Right. Anyway, Ill text you later. I have a date to get ready for.

H: bye babes :) x

"I don't understand why everyone is so obsessed with this movie." Louis says from his place beside Zac, chewing on a piece of pizza. He swallows, then continues, "It's good, don't get me wrong, but it's insanely over-hyped."

Zac looks at Louis, eyes wide, "Are you dissing Titanic right now?" He asks, tone testing, "Because I had something amazing planned tonight, but not unless you take it back."

"Oh, please." Louis scoffs, "You know this movie is overrated!" He exclaims, "It's great, but honestly? I think Leo's best work was Shutter Island."

"I agree, but only because you're cute." Zac chuckles leaning over to peck Louis's cheek.

Louis turns his head and connects their lips, kissing Zac sweetly and then pulling away, "Cute?" He ponders.

Zac smirks, gently pushing Louis back on the couch, fitting himself between Louis's legs, "Well, theres that, then there's sexy, beautiful, gorgeous.." He keeps presses kisses over Louis's face and Louis feels like he could fly.

"Mm, what else?" He asks, moving his hands to feel underneath Zac's shirt.

"Well, this one's up to you, but..My boyfriend?"

Louis grins, nodding his head, "Yes, I like that one the best, think it would be a good name on you too." He says cheekily, leaning up to connect their lips again. He loves this. He knows Zac cares for him. The way he touches him so gently and talks to him like he's the only person in the world. It maybes Louis feel like he's in a cloud.

That night, Louis gets his first ever blowjob, it was amazing. Zac had asked to fuck him, but Louis quickly denied it. They had gotten into a bit of an argument about it. They made up, of course, but it was still fresh on Louis's mind when he went home.

He wanted to text H and tell him how outraged he was about Zac being upset with him for such a thing, but he knew all he would get was an I told you so, so he stopped himself from typing out the message at all.

When Louis walks into his house, he sees his step father waiting for him. Doing absolutely nothing but staring at Louis.

"Do you know what time it is, boy?" He asks Louis, words harsh. Louis feels scared.

"Im sorry, sir, It turns out that the movie we watched was Titanic, It-"

"You watched Titanic?" Mark asks, standing up, "With one of you're guy friends?" He chuckles.

"Uh- Yes, His mother had it playing." He lied, "We were going to watch fast and furious." He covers up almost immediately, "Instead we had to watch a romance." He groans.

"Only pansies watch that type of shit, Louis." He says, "Next time tell them you're going home." Mark slurs. He's obviously drunk and not making any sense. "Go to your room."

"But-"

"Go! Now, before I beat your ass!" Mark shouts and Louis wastes no time doing what he is told.
