Never Ending | LARRY

Sixteen

Louis yawned as he awoke the next morning. He groaned as the sun shone through the open curtains. It hurt his eyes. He couldn't help but sigh as he sat up. Staring around the room, he couldn't see Harry anywhere.

That's when he remembered the events of last night. He frowned when he touched his neck, he couldn't feel a bite mark. He hummed in conferment walking over to the wall on the mirror to examine his neck.

It was clean of cuts, wounds, no vampire bite marks.

He tilted his head in confusion as he turned to look around the room. He could see the packet of Taco Bell take out sitting on the dining table, half eaten.

He could have sworn that he never made it to Taco Bell, he could have sworn that a rogue attacked him... but most importantly, he could have sworn that Harry said they were soulmates.

Suddenly Louis' train of thought was torn away from Taco Bell as the door opened.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to frighten you..."

Louis looked up at the familiar voice, he noticed the vampire was dressed to impress, as per usual in his YSL suit.

"Harry.... you look, great."

The vampire raised his eyebrows, looking at himself briefly, "thank you - just finished a meeting."

Louis nodded as he stared at the man, eventually Harry queried an eyebrow, "everything okay Louis?"

"Yeah... just last night? Um..."

Harry nodded wiht a smile, "yeah I mean damn. I wasn't expecting it either. Like when you got back from Taco Bell and offered to put that movie on, I was so expecting the boy to be the killer not the girl. Massive twist."

Louis nodded, suddenly his mind flooding with memories of the reality of last night. He fake laughed, "oh yeah haha... Yeah..."

It was a dream...

"Everything okay Louis, you seem pale?" Harry asked, chugging a glass of blood.

The human watched, heart rate speeding up as he remembered. Harry's a vampire, a vampire, and as much as he wished in his dream they were compatible, they just weren't. Biologically it was impossible.

Louis just nodded, hand grasping his neck, the place the bite had felt so real, "yeah you know just tired."

Harry merely smiled, offering him a glass of water before reminding him, "meeting in two hours. Then maybe I can take you site seeing? I don't know what would interest you."

Louis plastered a smile on his face before nodding along.

Whereas deep inside, his heart was shattering into millions of little pieces, of course he doesn't want you Louis.

Harry stared at Louis as he took notes during the meeting, he watches as he bit his pretty pink lip. He watched as he chewed on his pen briefly, eyes watching the other vampires in the room.

He was so perfect, Harry wished he could claim him, take him home, keep him safe... but it just wasn't the time. He needed to earn the boy's trust completely.

"So Mr Styles. What do you think of the proposal?"

Harry's eyes widened, as he snapped to face his potential client.

Fuck.

Louis' pretty face always was such a huge distractor.

Louis seemed to notice the CEO's distressed look so he cleared his throat, "Mr Styles generally takes a fifteen minute interval to compile his thoughts before continuing... if you don't mind giving him some time to think?"

Harry sent Louis a thankful glance as the clients left the room.

"Thank you... I wasn't listening."

Louis smiled cheekily before that smile dropped slightly, "saw you staring."

Harry's eyes widened before Louis continued, "she is really pretty. Got you completely awestruck.... She couldn't stop staring at you either...Ive only ever seen that look once. Is she, is she your mate Harry?"

Harry is confused for a moment before he realises Louis is talking about the girl fertile who was in the room, his client's personal assistant. She was on the other side of the table, Harry had felt her stare, but attempted to ignore her.

She was nothing compared to Louis, the next words that come from his mouth he wishes he could take back immediately.

"Yeah I think I found my soul mate."

Louis' face falls as he gulps, holding back his tears, "oh-ah... congrats Harry.... I'm r-really happy for you."
