That Should be Me: A Larry Stylinson FanFic

Chapter 1

Smiling to myself, I went to my room to wait for Harry to come.

I didn’t know I doze off until I opened my eyes and saw a frantic Harry at the door, breathing heavily.

“Louis? What’s wrong? Are you hurt?” He ran over and started running his hands throughout my body, checking for any injuries.

“HARRY! STOP IT, YOU’RE TICKLING ME!” I was in a fit of giggles, gasping for air. With a confused look on his face, Harry stepped back.

“Lou, why did you call me then?” Did he seriously just ask me that?

Momentarily forgetting the plan, I glared at him. “Well, I don’t know Harry. Maybe it’s because I don’t see you anymore, and the only time I do is around midnight and then you leave right away before I wake up in the morning!” He noticed my anger and the guilt started to appear on his face.

“Lou, I—”

“No, Harry, shut up and listen to me!” I was more than angry now, I was furious. I don’t care who she is, she can’t take my best friend away from me. “Who is she?”

“I can’t tell you that yet” he answered, looking at the ground. I could tell he was uncomfortable but I don’t seem to care at the moment.

“And why not?” I walked up to him and jabbed my index finger to his chest.

“I-I—I just can’t” he whimpered. He suddenly looked up at me, with pleading eyes. I was about to become hysterical again at his nonsense, but I remembered my plan.

Taking in a deep breath, I smiled. I took a step back to give us some space to talk. “I was just joking with you. Look Harry. I’m sorry I overreacted. If you like her this much, then maybe she’s lovely and great” I continued smiling so that he couldn’t see past the lie.

Harry was too blinded by his happiness at my sudden response. He let out a huge smile. “Thank you Louis.” He inched towards me, getting ready to pull me into a hug. "You really think so?"

"Yeah of course I approve. I only care about your happiness young man. I don't care who she is." Or what she is, I thought, cackling to myself.

Harry nodded eagerly.

“So Harry, let’s double date!” He stopped in midtrack, smile slipping off his face. I grinned; my plan was set into motion.

“What are you talking about Lou? What do you mean double date? You don’t even have a girlfriend!” I guess he really didn’t want me to meet his mysterious girlfriend.

“Harry.” I stared at him, my eyes slowly getting watery, lips quivering, and I knew that I had him.

“Fine.” Harry just couldn’t resist my piercing, blue eyes. I smiled and walked over to him. Hugging him tightly, I felt like I was at home. And then reality had to ruin it.

“Ok well I have to go now, meet you and your “date” tonight?” He air-quoted, apparently he thought I was lying, which I was but I can always get someone. "But don't tell the boys who it is when you meet her. Alright? I'm only doing this because you're my best friend."

Which means I know her. I clenched my fists at my sides. Who was it?

Still, I rolled my eyes, hoping he didn't notice anything was wrong.

“Yeah whatever. So you want to go to the usual place?” Liam had taken us to Cosmo a year ago, his favorite Chinese all-you-can eat restaurant. Even Niall gave his approval, saying that their food was one of the best he ever tasted. I chuckled at the memory. We were supposed to go for Harry’s birthday a week ago when he turned 18 but he was out with HER.

“No. How about we go to her house?” I can’t believe he suggested that. I’m going straight into the lion’s den already?

That’s even better. I smirked to myself. There will be pictures.

“Won’t her parents mind?” Not like I cared but…

“Well no, you’ll see Lou. Can you promise me you won’t judge her?” What? Does she do drugs or something? Oh no, she can't possibly hate...carrots..could she?

“Sure Harry, I promise” I answered after I realized I took too long imagining what could be wrong with her. Hopefully not a carrot hater.

“Thanks, well I’ll text you her address then. Bye Louis.” He walked out my room, and before I could shout bye, he was out the door.

I hope I can get Harry back tonight.

Well, time to find a lady friend.

 Harry’s P.O.V

Why did I agree to Louis’ request? I must be out of my mind! He won’t approve. I don’t even want to date her; we’re merely friends with benefits. I walked down the stairs and called her.

 “Caroline? Hey bebz, I’m done, come pick me up?”

“Sure Harry, right away. I missed you a lot” she purred.

“Really? Well me too” I smiled. I ended the call and waited awhile. Soon, I could see her red Ferrari pull up next to me. As I got in, she smiled and leaned in to give me a kiss.

The only thought as we returned to her house was: I’ve missed Louis, and tonight the secret will be out.

I didn’t know if I should be scared that Louis will know or hopeful that he might somehow accept this.
