Instagram Dms

17.

My life right now consists of sleeping, a little bit of school but mostly of:

"Carole Baskin!" 👏

"What's this, Harry?" Louis asked, holding up the picture of Nick and him that he was trying to fix.

Harry's eyes widened and he ran towards Louis, trying to pull the picture out of his hands but Louis moved it above his head. Harry huffed and reached up, pulling it out of Louis' grasp with ease. After all, he was much taller than Louis.

''That is absolutely none of your business.'' Harry said, pressing the picture against his chest and walking further into his room.

Louis shook his head, following Harry towards his bed. ''Why? I thought we put it behind us?''

''You did, Louis. You helped me delete and ruin our pictures and you went to his house to beat him up but I-'' Harry stammered, bottom lip trembling before he looked down at his hands. ''Forget it.''

''I will most certainly not. C'mon, talk to me about it.'' Louis said, reaching out for Harry. However, the younger boy flinched away whilst squeezing his eyes shut.

''I don't know how to.'' He whispered.

Louis sighed and softly grabbed Harry's hands. This time, Harry allowed Louis to touch him.

The Doncaster lad plopped down on the bed, pulling Harry down beside him. ''First of all,'' He mumbled, laying against the headboard and opening his arms. ''We cuddle.''

Harry smiled and curled into Louis' arms, seeming much smaller than he actually was. Louis kissed the top of his head and rubbed the boy's shoulder.

''Then you open your mouth and pour your heart out to me.'' Louis said, slouching down a bit more.

'''Ve spend such a long time with him, Louis. I can't just let it go like that.'' Harry said, snapping his fingers. ''He was there for me when my mum and sister died. It's hard to believe that he didn't love me at some point. I just... I can't let him go yet.''

''That's so unfair to yourself, though. He let you go weeks ago. Kept you on a leash for nothing. I know it's not what you want to hear but it's the truth.''

Harry ignored the dull ache in his chest. ''I am well aware, Louis. I just don't think removing him from my life is the way to do it. I think I should find my peace with it. That takes time.''

Louis hummed and kissed Harry's head again. ''You should do whatever you think feels right, sunshine. Just... at least try to replace the picture. Don't try to fix something that's broken already.''

Harry giggled and looked up at Louis. ''That was deep. Hidden meaning and all.''

''I know right! And I only just thought of it now. Didn't even plan it.''

Harry smiled and hugged Louis tightly. ''It's not just time I need, Lou.''

''What else do you need?''

''Niall, Zayn and Liam. Most importantly, you.''

''Why am I so important?'' Louis asked.

Harry shrugged. ''I think we both know there's something between us that we can't exactly describe. Feels like we were meant to meet and continue our journey together.''

Louis hummed and thought about it. Of course, Harry was right. He had felt it too. Maybe even before Harry did. He flirts with Harry constantly and they are basically in a relationship. Just without kissing.

''I just think it wouldn't be fair to you if we'd do something about it. I'm still hung up on Nick and it wouldn't be okay if I'd lead you on like that. It-''

''You're amazing, do you know that?'' Louis cut Harry off, tightening his arms around Harry's waist. ''So fucking amazing.''

Harry felt his cheeks grow hot, so he hid his face in Louis' chest. ''You may have mentioned it.''

''Thank you, sunshine. It means a lot to me that you're so careful with me. With yourself as well. You should be.''

''I came here to ask you if wanted to go to a party with us. I'll stay home if you don't want.''

''I would love to. Who's party is it?'' Louis asked, playing with Harry's hair.

''An old friend of Niall's. He came over a few times, that's how I know him.'' Harry said, cuddling closer to Louis.

''How long until we need to leave then?'' Louis whispered.

Harry shrugged and placed his head on Louis' chest, listening to the steady thumping of the elder's heart. ''Dunno. But I wanna stay like this for as long as we can, okay?''

Louis looked down at Harry and hummed. He didn't understand how someone that tall could look this tiny and petite in his arms.

Harry's beauty never failed to surprise him and his kind heart was one of the things he liked most about him.

The blue-eyed boy knew Harry was right about having to wait but on the other hand, he couldn't wait until he could press his lips against Harry's, hold his hand and officially claim his as his boyfriend.

He would post pictures of Harry and him on his Instagram, making sure that they looked very much in love to show Nick what a fucking idiot he had been.

He didn't like the way Harry and Nick had parted but he sure as hell was glad that they did. Nick didn't deserve Harry in the slightest and everyone around Louis' little ray of sunshine knew that.

Now that Nick and Harry broke up, Harry was all his.

Louis knew he would make Harry his someday as soon as Harry had sent him the picture of him in front of the bushes. With his pretty awkward smile and the little curls peeking out from underneath his snapback.

''I love you, sunshine.'' Louis whispered softly into Harry's ear.

They've said it before, it was no big deal. If he loved Harry as a friend, he could also tell him now that they both admitted there was more blooming between them.

Harry couldn't help but blush at Louis' words. The elder's word affected him more than anyone else's.

Sure, Nick had called him beautiful countless of times but Harry always felt like Nick only said it because you're somewhat supposed to compliment each other in a relationship.

When Louis said it, he knew it was true. Louis was just lovely like that.

He wanted to kiss Louis and compliment him as well. Place a little kiss on Louis' button nose to make him cough to cover up the little, very manly giggles that would escape his mouth.

Harry had spent hours daydreaming about it all. And now that he knew it would actually happen, he couldn't help but feel content with life once more.

Harry smiled and looked up at Louis with big, radiant, green eyes. ''I love you too.''
