Hi.

                            ————

"Blessed are all the simple emotions, be they dark or bright!
It is the lurid intermixture of the two that produces the illuminating blaze of the infernal regions. "

Harry wriggles his eyebrows at Zayn, before following Louis.

Finally. Harry thinks, happily.

It's been a long day, without Louis beside him.

They reach the school playground, now secluded as students hurried to get out of school as soon as possible
And also possibly due to the fact, that it had begun to drizzle. Soon, this will turn into full-fledged rainfall.

"Louis, can this wait? It's going to rain soon." Harry says, as he tries to keep up Louis' pace, as he tries to convince him.

"No, Harry. . Let's just. . get this over with." He says, walking faster now.

"But, you'll get sick, Boo." Harry tries to reason with Louis.

Louis simply keeps on walking.

"Okay. But please, think about my long legs. I can't keep up without tripping." Harry says, dimples forming as he tries to hold in his laughter.

Louis simply slows down a bit, not reacting at all.

What's going on? Why isn't Louis sassing him out?

"You could at least smile. Or sass me, I dunno. " Harry says, kicking a stone to the side.

Getting no response from Louis, Harry is now really worried.

"Where were you, Lou? You have kind of avoided me all day. And now, you are barely acknowledging me. " Harry states, frowning a bit and goes to hold Louis' hand.

"Harry. . " Louis trails off, as he slightly moves aside from Harry's reach. His face showing slight hurt.

Harry stays still.

Is Louis upset? Did someone hurt him? Did I do something to upset him?

Harry tries to calm his thoughts, as the possibilities run through his head.

"What happened, Lou?" Harry's face softening with the words.

"I. . We need to talk, Harry." Louis says, his face now blank.

What? That never ends well. Oh god. What do they need to talk about?

"Um, what's this about?" Harry asks, fearing the words about to spill out of Louis' mouth.

"Well, it's about you and I." Louis says, not an emotion flickering in his blue eyes.

"Okay. " Harry says, dragging the word out of his mouth slowly.

His mouth is suddenly very dry.

"Harry, I—this can't continue. You and I. This whole relationship thing isn't working out. I can't do this."
