Four
Zayn went to go get some snacks. At this point, everyone was hungry, even Louis.
Zayn came back with some chips, some candy and some sodas. Niall gratefully took everything and complained about how he couldn't go a long time without food since he was an Irish princess.
Louis grabbed some chips and began getting another flashback about when he asked Harry out.
***
A month has passed. Harry became a lot closer to Louis and Zayn. Specifically Louis.
Harry and Louis now hang out with each other a lot more often. Zayn felt a little left out, but he still had Gigi so it was all good.
Louis wanted to ask Harry out on a date. He gained enough courage to want to do that.
So he invited Harry over as usual and waited until the day ended.
It was a Thursday, meaning that it was a slow day in class. Nobody looked forward to Thursdays. They were just a slow wait for Fridays to come. And everyone wanted it to be Friday already.
Louis patiently watched the clock tick slowly. It was 3:55 and class ended at four. It seemed like Ms. Calder droned on and on about math and numbers and letters, and it was boring.
Eventually the bell rang. Louis walked to the door and met Harry by his locker.
"Hey," Louis said.
"Hey," Harry replied.
"So ready to go over to mine's?"
"Sure."
They then grabbed their skateboards and left the school. Louis bought Harry a skateboard as a friendship gift.
They skated all the way to Louis's house. Apparently, Harry has gotten pretty good at skateboarding since he's been practicing for Louis.
When they made it home, they were greeted by Louis's sisters at the door. Louis may or may not have told them all about his plan on asking Harry out.
"Hey Harry," Lottie said. "You look good today."
"Thanks," Harry blushed.
"Hey Harry," Fizzy said. "You're a good friend to Louis."
"Thanks," Harry turned a deeper shade of red.
"Hey Harry!" Phoebe and Daisy exclaimed. "You're the best!"
"Thank you," Harry was now scarlet from all the overwhelming compliments.
He wasn't the only one. Apparently, Louis was flustered at the girls for trying to compliment the man he was trying to ask out.
"Girls," he said. "Calm down. I'm taking Harry to my room."
Lottie and Fizzy smirked. The twins, being young, looked at them confusedly.
Louis grabbed Harry and took him upstairs to his room. It was a mistake telling his sisters his big plan.
"Sorry about my sisters," he told him. "They're not usually like this."
"I know," Harry said quietly. "I've been over here multiple times already."
The two of them then got started on playing their usual video games. Harry kept losing.
"Aw man," he exclaimed. "I have to go to the bathroom. I'll be right back."
Louis waited. This was the time to ask him out.
When Harry returned, he found Louis sitting on his bed with a smile on his face.
"Louis?" he asked. "What are you doing?"
"Harry?"
"What?"
"I like you."
Harry paused for a minute. "You like me?"
"Yeah. I like like you. As in a crush."
"Oh. I have a crush on you too."
Louis was happy. Harry had a crush on him too.
"Harry?"
"Yes?"
"Would you like to go out on a date with me?"
"Sure."
Louis went up and hugged Harry out of pure joy. He couldn't believe that Harry agreed on going out with him.
He even admitted to liking him back, another bonus.
Right now, it seemed like life was at his favor.
Harry went home and Louis told his sisters all about what happened. The girls were sad that Harry was no longer theirs, but they were happy for their older brother.
And Louis was happy.
For the first time in a long time, Louis was happy.
***
Louis was brought back to reality. He realized one thing during his flashbacks:
He hadn't been happy in a long time, ever since he was with Harry.
He hadn't been happy with any of the people he's dated after he dated Harry.
It's like Harry was his source of happiness.
Oh well.
He finished his chips. Harry was eating chips as well. What a coincidence. It's like the universe wants them back together again.
Well too bad.
Louis sighed and threw his empty chip bag away while he reached for a new one.
