harry canāt help but lean further into louisā touch. heās missed it; he wonāt lie.Ā āthat makes it all the more special ā a genuine pep talk from louis tomlinson.ā his nose crinkles.Ā āi mean, i doubt theyād cut it out. but what weāre saying canāt be all that interesting. besides, your dirty mouth might get us muted,ā he teases, poking a finger into the side of louisā thigh. he beams over at his friend and former lover, eyes soft and unfocused.Ā ācute, hm? iāll take cute,ā chuckles harry, keeping his expression open. it means a lot that louis allows the compliment ā they both know that, coming from harry, itās certainly genuine. he even bites back a filthy pun about getting a tongue-lashing; despite what heād just said, heās reminded theyāre on a show now. no need to give anyone any ideas.Ā ānever. i might be ridiculous but you wouldnāt have me any other way.ā he turns to flop onto his back, taking up as much space on louisā bed as possible.Ā āi think i should move into your room. itās exactly the same, of course, but i reckon your bedās more comfortable. what do you think?ā he pats the space beside him, encouraging louis to lay down as well. they should probably be unpacking his things but harry really canāt bring himself to care.
"considering not many receive those, iād agree with theĀ āspecialā part. oh come off it -- i donāt curse thatĀ much... do i?ā he pauses for a moment, reconsidering this. he squirms when he gets poked, immediately on-guard against the potential for tickling as heās learned to do in the five years heās spent living with four other boys.Ā āyouāll take it because you already know itās true,ā louis chuckles, though part of him sometimes wonders if harry is truly aware of how beautiful, how lovely he really is. āwonāt deny that. thereās only one harry styles, and i quite like him; ridiculousness and all.āĀ and itās true. harryās uniqueness, that sparkle about him, the warmth he radiates when heās happy and the love he gives out almost recklessly; itās the reason louis had first fallen in love with him, the reason he still loves him and always will. he rolls over and lies down close to harry, putting an ankle over his almost instinctively.Ā ātechnically, youād be following the rules if you did -- i mean, i amĀ an ex,ā louis jokes,Ā āand itād be a lot more fun with you around, as long as you keep your healthy meals to yourself. youāre staying with um, kendall now; arenāt you?ā
