Cheater // Larry

Chapter 14

Chapter Fourteen //

Louis cast his eyes toward Harry, taking in his mostly neutral expression. He lingered by the door, highly aware that the door was in Harry's line of eyesight. He could close the bedroom door so he couldn't see but that might seem a little bit suspicious.

The knock sounded again, this time slightly more vigarous. Louis sighed and decided he wouls have to risk whatever horror would be waiting for him behind the door. He cursed himself as his hand gripped the door knob, it almost felt like he was banging the nails into his own coffin ( and that was not the banging he had in mind for that day )

Louis edged the door open and lined his face up with the small opening he had created when a sudden fist came flying towards him. It was not hard enough to knock him over but pushed him back a foot or two in shock. He opened the door wider to see who had attempted to assult him and was not expecting who he saw.

"Louis, it's been like two weeks, what the fuck man?" Josh, Louis' boss (who he may fool around with from time to time) burst in and collected Louis in a hug. Louis returned the gesture and wrapped his arms around him. They had been friends before Louis started working for him and they had sex, and the close relationship still remained even though it wasn't quite the same as his friendship with Zayn.

"Sorry Josa, i've been a bit distracted" Louis winked before realising Harry probably had no idea what was going on. He turned around to see Harry looking very distressed and seemingly on the verge of tears. With no hesistation, he shoved Josh out of the door, just providing him with the promise 'i'll text you'.

Louis sped towards Harry and jumped onto the bed before taking Harry's face in his hands and kissing him square on the mouth. He tried to ignore how domestic this all felt, sharing his own bed with another and a morning kiss of comfort. After getting a response, Louis sat down from his crouching position and pulled away.

He felt the need to explain himself, to confirm he had not slept with Josh since he had met Harry. Seeing Harry's eyes glistening with moisture snapped something in Louis' brain. It was unexplainable, and drastic but awakened a passion. When Louis been dragged to go and see The Fault In Our Stars by Zayn, he had thought it was decent but not amazing. What had stuck in his head though, was a particular line that suddenly made so much sense.

'I fell in love the way you fall asleep : slowly, then all at once'

Maybe it wasn't love, not quite yet, but it was an affection. The type of affection he hadn't felt in years. The type of affection he had refused to put on his bucket list all those years ago.

"Josa, I mean Josh, is my boss. We are friends too which is why we hugged..." Louis stumbled through his words. Nervousness is another feeling he had gone years without, when someone reeked confidence as he did, it never really seemed to be an issue.

Harry looked him in the eyes and nodded, becoming captivated with the porcelain blue eyes that caught him what seemed like years ago. He didn't regret it, that first night, because he didn't fuck up for nothing. He fucked up for the boy that was sat before him, the one who probably had pins and needles from sitting in an awkward position just to kiss and console him.

And that was enough.

Authors note ;

Wow it has been a while... sorry about that but i'm back and feeling more inspiration for this story than I have in a while! I am a bit concered that Louis' personality has done a complete 180 so I've decided something for the next chapter...

Love you all!
