" harry! wake up! we need to get going in an hour! " niall almost pushed harry out of the bed trying to wake him up. an hour wasn't that short, he could sleep a bit more.

" zayn, he's not waking up, we need to get going soon " niall sighed and harry heard him take a few steps away from his bed.

" since when are you in time and not the one sleeping when everyone is ready? you should know how it feels " zayn said laughing.

" just let him sleep a few minutes, he gets ready pretty fast "

harry heard another person whispering something to niall, but he wasn't sure who it was. someone tried to quietly pour water in a bowl but failed big time. harry could hear louis cursing and niall laughing at him. when harry realised what was going on he realised that he had to get up before they did anything. but before he got the chance to sit up, a hand was petting his head carefully entwining their fingers in between his curls. it made harry want to stay. he shouldn't have.

" good morning! " zayn screamed and harry felt a whole fucking waterfall splashing over his head. louis screamed too, jumping off the bed and when harry turned around, soaking wet, he saw louis looking angrily at zayn and niall.

" it wasn't supposed to come at me too!! " he claimed and shaked his arms so the water splashed at niall laughing at him.

harry was freezing. those little shits.

louis soft hair was a little bit wet, and the ends were dripping water at his small feet with red christmas socks. he turned his head to harry. " sorry, it'll would've been way funnier if i didn't get wet and these shits didn't fill the bucket so loud " he said with a sassy voice rolling his eyes at them. zayn was standing behind him smirking.

" you all are crazy, i hate you, i have to take a really hot shower now " harry sighed and got up from his bed, that was absolutely soaking wet now too.

" can i join? " harry had just turned around to go to the bathroom when he heard louis. everyone stared at him, including liam who just got in to the room.

harrys stomach swirled and he felt his breath getting stuck. what.

everyone was quiet for a few seconds, liam didn't understand anything but niall had his mouth open and zayn was just staring at louis and harry with a strange look. 

" i mean...we're both wet and - " he stopped himself and looked kind of mad while stomping his foot on the floor.

" sorry, never mind, i don't know why i said that " he said, looking down at the floor, his cheeks as red as his socks, it was a strange sight, harry had never seen louis being embarrassed.

" uhh, it's okay, i'll just go " harry mumbled and took a few fast steps into the bathroom, almost running. his hands were shaking, he really loved to overreact didn't he? louis just said that because they were both soaking in water and he needed a shower too? he didn't mean anything else.

*

it's quite in the bus at first. but not even five minutes after they get in harry can hear niall and liam talking in a low tone.

louis is sitting beside harry.

zayn is sleeping.

" so, where are we even going? " louis asks struggling trying to put the charger into his phone. he was a little too short to reach the charging socket so when he lifted his arm and stretched his body his shirt revealed a little bit of his tummy.

" i think it's an interview in london actually, but we're staying some small town outside " louis nodded at the response.

they had actually been home for a couple of weeks but now it was back to work again. right before christmas. great. harry didn't understand their schedule at all.
