When Louis woke up, he was the only one in the bedroom.

He got up and drew the curtains. Bright sunlight immediately crept into the room, causing his pupils to dilate. It was a while before they adapted.

The white that filled his sight was warm and comforting.

Harry was sitting by the side of the balcony, a folder and some papers on the wooden table in front of him, looking as if he was working.

Louis leaned against the door frame between the bedroom and balcony quite comfortably, his hip, off which his shorts were hanging loosely, resLouis against the frame.

“Morning,” He said while watching Harry.

His voice was a bit hoarse.

It couldn’t be helped, he’d cursed a certain someone too much the night before.

Harry glanced at his watch and said, “Mm, morning.”

Louis said, “What time is it?”

Harry said, “Two o’clock in the afternoon.”

“No wonder.” Louis walked up behind Harry and hooked his arms around his neck. “I’m starving,” His chest was up against Harry’s back. “Haz, please cook for me.”

“What do you want to eat,” Harry started keeping the paper on the table.

Louis said, “Braised chicken drumsticks. Is there any steak like those from last night?”

Harry said, “There is.”

When answering, Harry tilted his head to the side, and Louis brought their lips together, kissing him gently with his arms around his neck.

Right after the kiss, Louis raised his eyes, and happened to catch a glimpse of the papers in Harry’s hands, feeling as if their content was familiar to him, “What is this?”

Harry said, “The notes for tomorrow’s lecture.”

“Lecture notes?” Louis picked up the piece of paper at the top. This was…

Prof. Style‘s lecture notes…

Prof. Style‘s lecture notes that were prohibited from being recorded or taken photos of…

Robotic notes that students could never finish noting down…

Robotik lectures that had a 90% failure rate…

The tears of countless students …

The dark years of countless students…

Louis suddenly felt like he had obtained a treasure map.

Whoever owned the lecture notes, could own the world…

He remembered how Harry had said “in the future, if you have anything you want to see, just tell me” the night before. Thus, he said in a tone used for negotiation, “Haz, your lecture notes… Why not… Let me borrow them for a look?”

Harry said, “Listen directly in class tomorrow.”

Louis said, “I too want to listen directly… But it’s not that you don’t know how I can’t fully understand when I listen directly in class…”

Speaking of this, Louis was already prepared to be rejected by Harry. But unexpectedly, Harry nodded and said, “Then you can make a copy of it. The photocopier is in the study.”

“Really?” Surprise was written on Louis’ face. 

Harry pulled Louis into his lap, saying, “Mm.”
