Louis smiled. “I’m sorry for how I ran away last night.”
“It’s totally fine. I’m sorry I did all that. I never asked if you were okay with it, and I really should have.”
Louis didn’t know how to respond to that. “I mean, I wasn’t really telling you no before that. How were you to know I’d be fine and then… not.”
“Well, if I had asked you first like I should have, then I would have known your boundaries.”
“How can you know my boundaries when even I don’t?” Louis scoffed. “Shit.”
Louis hadn’t meant to say that much to Harry. It’s not like he was embarrassed by who he was, but he still didn’t really talk about it openly either.
“What do you mean?” Harry asked.
Louis shook his head and kept his eyes trained on Harry’s chest. The shirt was old enough he could see the ghost of Harry’s tattoos through it.
“It’s a long and complicated story that is also very boring, so I don’t think you actually want the answer.”
Or Louis is an asexual alpha, Harry is his aromantic alpha friend and possible roommate, and faking a relationship might be exactly what they need to get their families and friends off their backs.
