An hour later Louis calls Harry,
'I miss you.' Louis says.
'I know, I miss you too.'
'It's only been an hour.'
Louis laughs.
'Feels like days.' Harry replies.
'What are you doing?'
'Still standing in the kitchen, still trying to process what happened, and missing you.'
'Yeah, I'm still waiting for myself to realize what happened.'
'When you do, promise me, you won't regret it.'
'Harry, I promise you I won't regret it.'
'Neither will I.'
It's silent for a few minutes until Louis says,
'Tell me I mistakenly left something behind so I can come and get it.'
'No, you didn't leave anything.'
'Oh...'
'But you stole something of mine.'
'What?'
'My heart.'
Louis can't help but smile.
'You're smiling right now aren't you?' Harry laughs.
'How could you tell.'
'I just smiled.'
They're interrupted by a buzzing sound.
'What was that?' Harry asks.
'My phone, it needs charged.'
Louis sighs.
'Call me again later, okay.'
'I will.'
Louis hangs up, he's already said goodbye to Harry once today, and that seems like enough.
Later that night Louis calls again.
'Hey.' Harry says as he answers the phone.
'You sound tired.'
'I am.'
'I wonder why.' Louis jokes.
Harry laughs.
'Are you in bed?' Louis asks.
'Yeah, but it's too empty here without you, I miss you.'
'I miss you too.'
'So, still no regrets?'
'None whatsoever.'
'Good.'
'No actually I do have one regret.'
'What?'
'That we didn't do it sooner.'
'I know. But don't think about it like that. I felt the same thing you did, we just didn't realize what it was until now.'
'Yeah, we were young, we didn't realize it yet.'
'Exactly.'
'I love you.'
'I love you, goodnight.'
'Goodnight.'
They both hang up and a few minutes later Harry gets a text from Louis,
''Goodnight''
''Goodnight'' Harry replies.
