friends

his face lit up like the sun when he saw harry walking through the door, singing " happy birthday ", with zayn, niall and liam after him and you couldn't even notice that he just woke up, he still looked gorgeous.

he was so adorable with his messy hair and tired eyes, wide smile and exciting bumping up and down in the bed.

they finished their singing, put the cake in louis lap and harry cuddled down under the sheets as liam sat on a chair beside him and the others held their presents.

" happy birthday boobear " harry whispered and gave him a small kiss on the lips and gently touching his soft hair.

" okay okay, we see " niall complained and leaned over to hug his best friend and also say happy birthday.

after zayn and liam said happy birthday louis started to open his presents.

the boys had put up christmas lights all over the apartment and except for louis room, because no one ever was there.

" i love the lights "

" they're for you " harry said. louis pushed his face into a teddy bear.

after louis breakfast, it was time to watch the first movie, louis chose grease as the first one. niall was highly unsure about the option, but since it was louis birthday he just had to go with it.

they all sat in the sofa, all cuddled up, when louis started whispered soft things into harrys ear.

" louis stoppp, we're watching the movie " harry tried pushing louis away, but he was clenching his legs around harrys and holding his arm around his neck, kissing his cheek.

he was sitting in harrys lap, the two of them were sitting in their own because the others were calming that they didn't want to sit beside them.

louis just kept giving harrys neck small, soft kisses and laughed at him.

" i love you " was one of the things he whispered, one of the things harry actually heard and reacted to.

" can you just please be quiet? " zayn groaned, staring at the men dancing and singing their souls out on the top of a car.

harry had always wanted to be in a movie.

especially a musical. you got to sing AND act. harry also knew louis wanted the same, he even was in a musical when he was in high school and from the tapes harry had seen, he was really good.

" what did you say? " harrys weak voice managed to get out.

" i said a lot of things " he giggled and ran his hand up harrys hair and snuggling his nose into his neck.

it was a wonderful feeling, but harry leaned back carefully form the boy, trying not to make him notice.

he knew louis had said it before, but it was different now.

he didn't want to hurt louis today, it was his birthday, but he couldn't say it back.

" you said that you...that you... "

" that i love you? " harry nodded and looked away.

" i can't say it back "

louis sighed and his shoulders sank. he let go of harrys neck and took a deep breath.

" you don't have to " he finally let out.

harry exhaled and looked back at louis and smiled.

he looked sad.

fuck.

" louis... " he grabbed his face in his hands and tried to soothing place his lips on his. but he tilted his head away.
