louis felt nervous once friday finally arrived because of one reason only. it was the day he'd tell harry those three special words.
he didn't know how he'd say it and it was times like these when he needed his best friend with him, so it wasn't a surprise when he called zayn a few minutes later. "lou? what is it?" zayn asked in a raspy tone and louis hoped he didn't wake him up. "hey z. i need your help with something. um, i'm going to tell harry something special, but i don't know how," louis spoke with honesty, a sigh escaping his lips as he leaned back on his bed.
zayn was a professional when it came to things like romance and louis always went to him whenever he needed help with the topic of love.
"how long have you known?" zayn asked and louis shrugged, though the dark haired boy couldn't see him. "a few weeks now, maybe a month? but i think i've always known, the feeling was always there, but it took me a while to figure it out."
"well, how do you want to tell him?" louis sat up and stayed quiet. "um, i don't know yet, but the date is tonight." he heard zayn laugh and he could already imagine his best friend shaking his head at him. "always unprepared, louis tomlinson, i've no idea how you have such high grades," zayn joked and louis couldn't help but laugh.
they talked about the date for the rest of the conversation and louis planned most of it, but he wanted zayn's help. once the two finished their conversation, zayn sighed as he threw himself on his bed and laughed as he thought about how ridiculous his best friend was.
zayn knew that louis was going to do great, no matter what he ends up doing, after all, love can be shown in many ways and it doesn't matter if it's big or small, it'll be perfect for the one who returns the strong emotion.

louis was overwhelmed with emotion as he entered the school building and bee lined to where he knew harry was. once he saw his boyfriend, he immediately felt calmer than before and took a deep breath to calm himself down. zayn told him to be himself and everything would turn out fine, he just knew it, but louis couldn't help but worry and many ridiculous questions he wouldn't usually ask himself kept running through his head.
what if he spilled something on his pants? what if he said something embarrassing? what if harry didn't love him?
images of things that could go wrong were bothering him and louis didn't notice that harry was looking at him with a concerned look on his pretty face. he watched as harry said something to niall and liam before he was walking to louis and grabbed his hand.
"hey boo bear, are you feeling okay?" harry asked with his head tipped and louis' heart warmed. "i'm feeling fine, baby, just a bit nervous for later on today," louis reassured the boy and pecked his cheeks.
"okie dokie, i just wanted to make sure you were okay," harry chirped and placed a hand on louis' cheek to caress the tanned skin. "but there's nothing to be nervous about, lou. it'll be just us on an amazing date like always," harry giggled and slid his hand down to grab the older boy's.
if only you knew, louis thought, a smile on his face as he stared at the happy boy with obvious heart eyes.
"hey guys," louis waved at liam and niall who were giving him weird looks but smiled at him. "hey louis," niall and liam waved back. louis stared at them with a raised brow and stared them down, but the pair was always weird so he didn't think much of it when they went back to normal.
