When they came back to their flat, Harry noticed how moody Louis seems to be. He’s thinking that maybe up to now, he’s not yet over about his breakup with Eleanor. Maybe he’s still in love with her. Harry was taken from his thoughts when his phone vibrated from his pocket. It was a text message from Caroline.

                ‘Harry, can you meet me at my house? I’ve got something to tell you.’

                Harry replied saying that he’ll be there in 10. He walked up to Louis’ room to found the boy sitting in front of his laptop.

                “Hey Lou, I’ll just be going over to meet Caroline. I’ll be back for dinner.”

                “Sure. Whatever.”

                This got Harry thinking if Louis is really in a bad mood today. Could it be something that he has done? Maybe it was his fault. He shook these thoughts from his head and went to go see Caroline. He arrived at her house later than expected because of the traffic. He rang the doorbell and she was greeted by Caroline with a peck on his cheek. This was unusual for Harry because Caroline always kiss him on the lips, not a simple peck on the cheek.

                “So, what’s up?” Harry asked her as he sat on the couch. Caroline sat beside her.

                “Well, I’ll be going in abroad for a few months.”

                “Have a nice trip then.”

                “That’s not what I’m talking about Harry. We can’t continue our relationship anymore.”

                “And why is that?”

                “I can’t take what the people are saying over me. They are saying that I’m old enough to be your mother and telling me that I’m a cougar. These really don’t affect me that much but the management decided that we can’t really see each other or your career will be jeopardized.”

                “Look, we can do this. I like you a lot. You never treated me like I’m a baby. You’re the only person who treats me like I’m an adult.”

                “But you’re not an adult Harry. You’re just 17. I’m sorry but we really need to break this off. I know you’ll understand. You should date someone at your age, not someone like me. I like you Harry but it’s not enough for us to continue this relationship.”

                “Friends then?” Harry asked?

                “Friends.” Caroline said with a smile.

                “Guess, I’ll better be going then?”

                “You can stay for dinner if you want.”

                “Nahh, I told Louis that I’ll be there for dinner. See you soon.” And with that Harry got up and went out the front door without looking back. He climbed to his car and got some take-outs from an Italian restaurant nearby. He doesn’t want to cook and he’s pretty sure that Louis wasn’t in the mood to either.

                “Well, seems like I’m single again,” he muttered to himself and thought that he’s done with older women.

                He arrived at their flat 30 minutes later and saw Louis seated on their couch while watching a movie.

                “Hey Boo, what are you watching,” he asked him while putting down the take-outs on their dining table and sitting beside Louis.

                “Last Song, it’s just starting though. You want to join me?” Harry noticed how Louis seems to be in a brighter mood. Maybe he’s just really having his occasional mood swings.

                “Sure boo,” Harry answered and cuddled next to Louis.

                “Woah curly, why are you being so cuddly?”

                “Is it wrong for me to want to cuddle with my best friend? I just missed you.”

                “But I’m always here you know?”

                “Well, I just miss cuddling like this.”

                “What has gotten into you Haz? Spill.”

                “Well, can’t two single lads just stay like this for a while?”

                Louis looked at him and saw the sadness in Harry’s eyes. He’s trying his hard to hide it with a smile but Louis can read him like an open book sometimes. And right now, he can see how much this curly-headed boy here needs him. So he hasn’t said anything and just let him enjoy the moment as it lasts. He put his arm around Harry’s shoulder and let him put his head on his chest.

                Harry didn’t know why, but his heart started beating faster and his cheeks were flushed when Louis kissed his head. He thought he was over the crush he had for Louis on the first time they met. Oh, how wrong was he.
