Its a few months into their friendship now, and honestly, everyone is just completely and utterly done with how grossly obvious it is. They're sick of the heart eyes, and the fondness, and all the little touches that are completely just ‘little touches’ and ‘nothing more’. There is a literal radiant that comes from them, a god-we-are-so-in-love vibe that everyone can see and feel and realise but Harry and Louis.

Its 9.06 on a Thursday night and the moon is up and bright behind the thick clouds swirling outside and Harry is still at Louis’. Normally, he would have left by now, but its not normally. So, Louis forces Harry to stay the night, too scared for his lil’ Harry to walk home alone at this time. And, so, Harry stays.

“Did you call you muuum.” Louis whines, excitedly whilst squeezing a pillow and jumping up and down on his mattress like an 8 year old and definitely not a 17 year old.

“Yeeees.”

Louis sticks his tongue out, before quickly adding, “Hey, do you wanna feed Anemone tonight? I never, ever, let anyone feed her her bedtime meal but me, because its my thing, but I will let you do it if you want.”

Harry blushes, nodding happily and taking the fish food Louis had picked up with great honour.

“I don't even let the lads do it, not even Zayn.”

Harry feels extremely honoured now.

“How much?” He asks, unscrewing the lid and glancing up to Louis.

“Just a ‘lil pinch or she will get fat, and if she gets fat she wont be able to swim.” Harry takes note of how adorable Louis looks when he nods factiously.

“So, do you need pajamas?” Louis asks, watching as Harry sprinkles it into her tank.

“Uhm, yeah, if you don't mind, just a shirt maybe, I don't want to smell too bad for school tomorrow.”

Louis scrunches his nose up and...

...ly against Louis’. He moves his hand to the back of Louis’ neck, and he can feel Louis squeezing his hip, pulling him closer. Its just soft, and chaste, and heartwarming like a first kiss should be. Harry plants one last gentle kiss against Louis lips, reluctantly and finally pulling away, but not too far.

When he opens his eyes to see Louis, he is beaming, eyes still closed, and hand still gripping his side. He sighs happily, watching Louis’ eyes finally flicker open.

Louis copies Harrys happy sigh, wrapping his arms around Harry's waist and snuggling into his chest, cheeks flushed red. “Thank you.”

Harry giggled again, nervously, “Was it good?”

“The best.”

Harry hums into his hair, kissing Louis’ head. “Id do anything for you, you know.”

All Louis can do is bite his lip, hold back the overwhelming happiness spreading through him, as he mumbles, “Night Harry.”
