"According To Greek Mythology, Humans were originally created with four arms, four legs, and a head with two faces. Fearing their powers, Zeus spilt them into two separate beings, condemning them to spend their lives in search of their other halves"
-Plato's The Symposiums
Our story starts off in Doncaster, where Louis Tomlinson was sitting in front of a coffee shop reading a book much like this and looked out of the corner of his eye to see a boy who looked younger then him clumsily trip over his boot and ends up dropping his drink. Louis jumped to his feet and helped the boy stand up, only for the boy to grip on to Louis and look up into his eyes.
Louis looked back into the eyes of the curly haired boy and swore he felt his heart twitch and beat a mile a second holding the boy in his arms. The two say there staring to Louis realized how awkward it was and stood the boy up.
Louis smiled softly and rubbed at his neck while looking at the boy in front of him "I'm Louis, you are?".
"I'm Harry" Harry grinned wide then looked down at what was left of his drink laying in the puddle next to their feet, just there as a metaphor for the puddle of his heart at how weak his knees felt.
"Okay Harry, how about I go inside and buy you a new dri-" Louis stopped talking as he saw a tall guy with short brown hair and a birthmark on his neck visible to the world walk over to Harry and rap his arm around his waist pulling him closer. Crushed is far from what Louis felt but quickly held the pain inside.
"Oh Liam! I was wondering what was taking you so long" Harry grinned brightly hugging Liam's neck and kissing his cheek. Louis felt sick to his stomach and he honestly didn't know why.
Liam sat there holding Harry close admiring his curls as Louis coughed softly, beyond uncomfortable in the situation he was stuck in wanting to dig himself into a hole and never leaving. Liam looked at Louis and immediately pulled Harry closer (if that was possible) and said "umm Harry who is this your talking to? I told you not to talk to strangers all the time" putting emphasizes on strange.
"Oh... Liam this is Louis... Louis this is my boyfriend Liam" Harry mumbled looking down at his boots and played with his fingers avoiding Liam's glare. "I tripped over my shoes and dropped my drink, Louis helped me up".
Liam looked over and held Harry as he said thank you to Louis purposely messing up his name, as Liam dragged Harry into the coffee shop Harry grabbed the recipient and quickly wrote his number out and smiley face and left it out on Louis table as they walked by.
