Chapter 31: Chapter thirty-one :)
"Harry" Niall pulled him back upstairs. "You and Charly already know each other?!" He whispered confused. "Shhh" Harry dragged him around the corner into the next near room. "What is going on?"
"I, uh listen, Niall, yes I know hi-" Niall cut him off "Why did you guys act like strangers?" Harry didn't know what to say, nothing came into his mind he was to take by surprise. He had really, no fucking idea. He opened his mouth to say something as he heard Louis yelling from downstairs.
"Niall? Harry?" Niall just looked at him in confusion "Here." He shouted back still eying until Louis appeared in the doorway. "You two good?" He wondered as he saw their expressions. "Did you start talking about golf again?" He rolled his eyes. "I just showed him the signature." Niall lied.
Harry gave him a thankful gaze. Niall just nodded slightly and left them alone. "Are sure you're Good?"
"Yes" Harry nodded "Yes"
Shit.

After they have eaten they went over to the living room to watch the girls unwrap their presents. It was surprisingly easy to be in the same room as Sabrina, she looked so much like Charly but somehow it was fine. Harry was sitting next to Louis on a couch the twins braiding his hair into two little tails. "So you two are a couple?" Sabrina asked taking a sip of her tea. She and Mark sat on the second couch.
"Do you have a problem with that?" Louis frowned. "Lou" Mark hissed.
"No, no of course not," She said nicely stroking Marks leg to show him it was okay. Something at her smile was off. It didn't reach her eyes. "Ow" one of the girls had pulled one of his hair strands "sorry," she said in her cute high voice and went on, giggling.
"I will go and get something to drink. Harry do you want something?" He asked after he got up. "No thanks, I'm alright." Then Louis left he seemed angry Harry felt the need to go after him but Daisy and Phoebe were still braiding his hair. Mark and Sabrina seemed to notice too. "I will go and look after him," she said leaving. Harry didn't know much about their situation but he was sure that she would only make it worse.

How could she dare to say that she was fine with Harry and him? Louis thought standing in front of the fridge searching for a coke. His grip around the handle was so strong that his knuckles turned white. "What do you want?" He asked as he felt her presence.
"How dare you bringing a boyfriend home"
"First of all it's not your home and second of all I can bring whoever I want." Louis hissed glancing over to the living room to make sure no one is hearing them. Harry still sat on the couch laughing about something his dad said. "I'm your dad's wife now so yes, it is my home too and I don't want a faggot here."
"Believe me I don't want a bitch here ether. You will see one day Mark will see who you really are." Louis spat walking past her bumping her shoulder on purpose. God how he hated her. She had always been homophobic and Louis knew that she was cheating. The only thing that made her stay was the money.
****
"We're done," Daisy said taking Harry's hand dragging him over to the hall until they stopped in front of a mirror. Harry never braided his hair before but he must say it looked quite good. "You like it?"
"Yes thank you, princesses." They smiled up to him with the same huge blue eyes and wide smile as Louis.
Speaking of, he stood right next to the couch when the three came back into the living room. "We'll go. Now." He told. "That early?" Lottie asked putting her legs off of Niall's lap. "Yes, it's already past midnight Lotts." She went in to hug him. "You can come over to visit us whenever you want."
"Us?"
"Harry and me"
"You-"
"Yes," Louis mumbled.
Lottie cheered sneaking over to Harry as Louis let go of her and went to Niall. Harry opened his arms to hug her. "Can you promise me something?" She asked into his shoulder. "Anything." He answered he had started to like her pretty much she was so much like Louis but on the other hand so different. "Take care of him. I haven't seen him smile like that in a while."
He loved being the reason for Louis' smile. "I will. Promise." He softly smiled down at her. "Oh, and on your marriage, I want to be the girl who brings the rings." She said seriously. "What?" Harry couldn't help but laugh. "Just making it clear." She smiled walking back to the couch and let herself fall between Niall and Fizzy.
The twins didn't want to let them go at first but now they were finally in the car. "Wow they seem to love you," Louis started the car. "Well, at least your hair" He laughed. His laughter caused the butterflies in Harry's belly to go wild again and a smile to grow on his face. "They did a pretty good job, to be honest."

It's been a week since Christmas eve. Harry had gotten a message from his mom that he saw way too late because he was spending the rest of Christmas eve making out. The next few days were quite stressless what was unusual for the last few days of a year. Usually, Harry spent them at grocery stores and other shops trying to find everything his mom wanted him to get before Gemma came home for new years eve.
This year he planned to celebrate it with the boys, well that was the plan but Zayn went to his grandparents, Liam as well and Niall went on vacation to visit his family members in Ireland. So it was just him and Louis. Not that that was something bad.
It was already getting dark which meant only a few hours left until a new year would begin. The apartment was still filled with fairy lights just the tree was gone. Louis wanted them to say a little longer because they made the living room look cosier and magical as he said. His phone rang loudly on the table. Harry reached over to grab it. He expected Niall or Zayn, they have spoken a lot on the phone lately.
Niall had asked him about the talk they had back at his dad's house a few times. -Charly and he had known each other in their childhood and just didn't recognize each other- was the lie Harry told and he felt so fucking bad. It wasn't a complete lie, but still.
He put the phone next to his ear and leaned back into the pillows of the couch.
"Hey"
"Hey, Harold." The feminine voice surprised him.
"Gems?"
"Yes, you dummy" She laughed
"Why are you calling?" They haven't talked to each other in a long time. It turned out that Anne had told her Harry wouldn't celebrate new years eve with them but instead with Louis. Now she wanted to know everything about his situation. How he was, why he isn't living at Anne's anymore, how school was working, and the most important question for her, "Who is Louis?"
They have had a long talk for multiple hours. Harry had told her that he was living at Liam's first because he fought with mom, he didn't tell her why though. That school was going well and that he was feeling fine.
"And Louis is a friend of that Liam guy?"
"Yes," Harry caught himself smiling. He had the whole day alone for himself because Louis was at work. He got a text message from him about five minutes ago which said,
I'll be home in about 20 mins
With that little heart emoticon. "I can hear you smiling Harry. How is he like?"
"Well. He is kind, caring has a great sense of humour and such a big heart. And he- he makes me happy." Harry blushed at the thought of Louis smiling at him. "Oh I can't wait to meet him one day, you are so simping. He sounds so cute."
"Oh yes, he is" Harry whispered so quietly that she couldn't hear.
They spent so much time talking about how perfect Louis was until Gemma came up with one question that seemed to bother her the whole time. "You don't have to answer now but I can't help but ask." She started waiting a few seconds before she went on "Did you guys, you know... do it?"
"Oh god, Gemma!" She burst into laugher at Harry's reaction.
"I'm sorry I just needed to ask."
"No, we haven't yet." He said quietly. It wasn't like he didn't want to, it was, Charly who was in full control of Harry's behaviour. Every time they tried to for further, he appeared in Harry's mind.
But he couldn't change his whole life just because of that one guy. Harry had changed a lot since he knew Louis and he also knew that he was safe around him. He was stronger now he wouldn't let Charly destroy everything again. The thought of Louis soft skin against his let goosebumps travel all over his body.
He flinched as the door opened and Louis stepped in. He looked up, smiling like an idiot as he saw Louis. "What are you smiling at Haz?" Harry pointed at the phone on the table "I'm talking to Gemma on the phone." Signalizing Louis to be quiet.
"Is that him??" She asked excitedly. Louis smile got so wide his dimples showed up, she was on speaker.
"If Harry mentioned a Handsom boyfriend of his then yeah it's him." He said playfully, stepping closer. Harry was now sitting on the floor leaning against the couch, he took the phone and turned off the speaker.
"I will call you later Gems." She was screaming over the two boys. She squeaked something about how cute they were or something like that.
"Byee."
Then he hung up, laughing.
"So you and your sister had a quick gossip about me." Louis smiled before he bent down to place a gentle kiss on his lips. It felt right. Everything felt good when he was with Louis, every single problem in his life seemed to fade with every further kiss. "Only a few hours until a new year." Louis grinned.
"I know. Oh my god, I have an idea." Harry abruptly got up, almost smashing their foreheads together. Since Harry was a child he wanted to watch the fireworks from a rooftop, drinking hot chocolate and listening to cosy music. He had no idea why, to be honest.
The roof of his mom's house wasn't flat so he could never do it. "Is there any way to get onto the rooftop?" He asked Louis who looked clearly confused. Harry explained what he was up to and Louis loved the Idea.
After they had eaten dinner they checked out which way was the right to end up on the rooftop. Harry was carrying a few blankets and the speaker, Louis following him, holding two cups of hot chocolate. The cold air caused Harry to shiver a bit as they stepped outside. It was dark, only the moon and the stars shining from above.
They let themselves fall onto one of the blankets, each of the boys wrapped one around their shoulders, cuddling up next to each other. "Here," Louis said in a soft voice handing Harry his cup. It was hot, perfect to warm up his freezing hands. Louis started the music, Harry sneaked the time on the display. It was only two minutes before midnight.
Louis intertwined their fingers and looked down into Harry's tired eyes, he was leaning against his shoulder. "You ready Haz?" Harry looked up to those pretty blue eyes that still made him breathless like on the first day and nodded giving Louis a soft smile. He pushed himself up so he could close the gap between them.
The night air was cold and smelled like winter, however winter smelled but it did and it was great. Suddenly the first fireworks lit up the sky in all thinkable colours making the moment perfect. Louis smiled into Harrys mouth "Happy new year Haz." Their eyes so close Harry was able to see the small green sprinkles in Louis', "Happy new year Sun."
They turned to look at the glowing fireworks above them. It was magical. Harry watched a tear roll down Louis' cheek and he knew exactly who Louis was thinking of at that moment, he squeezed his hand twice which made Louis smile again and continued watching the glowing sky. After a while, he noticed Louis eyes on him.
Harry turned to face him "What?" Louis stroked a curl behind Harry's ear. "I love you," he whispered looking deep into Harry's eyes. Harry's heart stopped. Did he really just say that?! The boy with the sunshine smile told Harry he loves him?! Harry just stared back into those blue eyes made of pure blue.
"I love you too" He replied breathlessly rushing forward and smashed his lips against Louis. And just like it was a movie scene a huge firework exploded above their heads. Harry couldn't think he was so thirsty for Louis to kiss him. The desire of Louis skin to touch his' grew, and it got stronger with every kiss. After what felt like hours Louis pulled away "let's go inside it's getting cold." Harry just nodded quickly.
The blankets were folded on the couch cups back in the kitchen. Louis kicked his shoes off throwing his jacket over a chair. Harry did the same, his eyes fixed on the older boys back. "Lou" he whispered so Louis would turn around. Then he slowly took a step closer and put his hands around Louis nack pulling him in for a kiss.
His whole body felt so energized he couldn't stop it anymore all he wanted, all he desired was Louis. His hands travelled up to Harry's biceps grabbing them tight as they stumbled backwards letting themselves fall onto the bed. It was just like the last time but now Harry felt so much better with it, to finally love someone without thinking about his past.
Louis' hands slipped under his shirt and cursed goosebumps along where they touched his bare skin. "Are u sure?" He asked carefully giving Harry a soft look. "Yes," Harry confirmed with a heavy breath pressing his lips against Louis' again harder this time. Louis kissed him back his fingers pushed onto Harry's chest, it was intense and made Harry exhale heavily. He really wanted it.
