[Holmes Chapel, Cheshire, Styles’ Old Home || November 15, 2014, 8:48 am, ‘Childish Wishes’]
(LOUIS leans against HARRY’S car outside, enjoys watching the kids play around. Distant, deep in thought, until he sees someone walking towards him.)
HARRY: “Looks like someone’s feeling at home.”
LOUIS: (smiles) “Your mum told me to be. That’s what I’m doing.”
HARRY: “She’s right, though. You should be.” (stands close to LOUIS) “Good morning.”
LOUIS: “Good morning, pretty boy.”
HARRY: “Just finished cooking breakfast. Let’s eat.”
LOUIS: (surprised) “You? Harry cooked breakfast?”
HARRY: “Don’t give me that look. You know that I only pretend that I suck working in the kitchen.”
LOUIS: “Just kidding, of course I know that. You go ahead, be with you in a sec.”
HARRY: “You and I both know that we haven’t eaten a decent meal since last night. We should eat.”
LOUIS: “Yeah, I know, I’ll be there in a few minutes. You should eat first.”
HARRY: “Won’t eat if you’re not with me.”
LOUIS: “Then, you have to suffer, Styles. I’m having fun watching these kids.”
HARRY: “Then, I’d rather suffer with you. I’ll stay.”
LOUIS: “Harry, it’s okay. Go ahead.”
HARRY: “Nope.”
LOUIS: “Harold!”
HARRY: “If you stay, I’ll stay. Case closed.”
LOUIS: (shrugs, casual) “You’re really sweet. If you say so.”
(Distant shouts and running footsteps ahead, HARRY and LOUIS watch the kids, laughing at their playful sprints and trips)
LOUIS: “That’s why I love this place.”
HARRY: “Why? Because of them playing around our house?”
LOUIS: “Well, part of it, yeah. I feel like this is my childhood home for some reason. I can’t quite explain it, and there were times when I would think that you’d be my perfect childhood friend.”
HARRY: “Don’t worry, you’re not the only one who thinks that.”
LOUIS: “Is that so?”
HARRY: “What if everything didn’t happen the way they used to be? Just like what you said, what if we’ve been friends ever since we were kids, and we grew up together with that same dream of making music? It’s like, a whole different kind of thing, an alternate universe, where we might have auditioned together on The X-Factor. What do you think?”
LOUIS: “I think that would be an amazing world to live in.”
HARRY: “You would’ve wished that to happen between us?”
