Beautiful Thing - Larry Stylinson AU

Home

"Home." He says and we begin to walk out of the park. "Okay then, I'll walk you home." As we walk our hands brush very lightly, so lightly I almost didn't feel it. I had the urge to hold his hand but I knew I couldn't. "You don't have to, Haz. I'm a big boy, I can walk home on my own." He starts to walk the opposite direction as me so that's when I grab a hold of his hand. It's soft just like him. "I know that you are older than me but you feel so small even though you're a bit taller. I feel the need to protect you even though we just met. So I'll ask again where to?" He didn't move his hand away so neither did I. He gave me the directions to his house with a hesitant expression. "Louis trust me I'm not a murderer or anything." He lets out an airy, pretty, laugh. "I never said you were." We walk with our hands entangled together between us in complete silence. And then we finally reached his house.
