Harry was in the library, sitting in one of the private study rooms. There was a knock on the door, he got up and opened it, and his breathing hitched when he saw the footie team captain/crush standing in front of him drenched in sweat. "Harry, right?" Harry felt his legs go weak, his crush knew his name, "Y-Yeah," he mentally cursed himself for stuttering.
"Um, my coach said that you were good at math and in order for me to play at the next game I need to pass the next test with at least a C do you think you could tutor me sometime?" Harry's cheeks heated up as he nodded, "S-Sure," his cheeks darkened when he stuttered again. Louis smiled at him, "Can we meet here tomorrow?" he asked, "Yeah," the green-eyed boy breathed out.
"Thanks, curly, I owe you," Harry blushed a bright shade of red from the nickname before Louis was running back down the hallway. He shut the door and sat back down in his chair, leaning his head back and letting out a frustrated groan. "How am I going to get through tomorrow," he mumbled to himself, he slowly packed up his stuff before heading out of the school, he got into his car and drove home, with only one thing on his mind. Louis.
~~
Harry was in the study room waiting for Louis to show up, he chewed his lip nervously, he was worried that Louis was just pranking him and he wasn't going to show up.
~
After another fifteen minutes, Louis still wasn't there, so Harry packed up his stuff with a frown before getting up to leave. When he opened the door he jumped slightly at the sight of a sweaty Louis in front of him, "Sorry, coach held me back, are you still able to tutor me today?" he asked, Harry blushed softly, "Of course, and it's okay,"
Louis smiled at him, making him look down with even darker cheeks, Harry turned around and walked back over to the table. The older boy did the same before sitting down next to Harry and smirked slightly at the boy's flustered state.
Louis grabbed some of his math papers, "These were due like two weeks ago," Harry laughed softly as he looked through the papers, most of them having little to no work in them at all. "I know, I'm just not good at math and I can't focus on it," Louis explained with slight embarrassment.
"Well, what do you like to focus on, I know you love football," Louis smiled with a nod, "Then let's turn the word problems into something about football," Harry suggested.
~
After about an hour they had almost half of the worksheets done, and Louis was actually understanding it, "See you are good at math," Louis smiled at him, "Thanks to you, curly," the younger boy blushed softly and looked away. The blue-eyed boy made him look back up, "Don't hide your blush, it's cute," Harry's cheeks darkened as he let out a soft giggle.
Louis smiled at him, "Thank you for helping me, think we can do this again tomorrow?" Harry nodded, "S-Sure," Louis quickly packed up his stuff, and Harry did the same before they both walked out of the school together. "Thanks, curly, see you tomorrow, same time?" Harry smiled with a blush, "Of course,"
~~
Louis quickly walked to the library, excited to see Harry again, when he got there, no one was in the room, he checked the rest of the study rooms, finding nobody in any of them. He walked around the school trying to find the boy, but to no avail. He sat in the library in the study room to see if the boy would show up...
~
After about ten minutes, the door was opened, Louis looked up from his phone, and saw that it was Harry, and his head was down. "S-Sorry, I'm late, g-got caught up in s-something," his breathing was heavy and shaky, Louis got up and lifted his chin.
"What happened?" he asked when he saw the younger's bloody nose and busted lip, "N-Nothing," Louis placed a hand on his shoulder. "You're lying," Harry shook his head, "Who did this to you? Who hurt you?" the boy sniffled, "Max," Louis sat him down in one of the chairs before going to his backpack and grabbing an antiseptic wipe.
"I'll take care of him later, but for now, can I clean you up?" Harry shrugged, Louis cupped his face gently with one hand before wiping his nose and lip. Harry winced a bit at the sting, "Sorry," Louis wiped a tear with the pad of his thumb off of the boy's cheek. Harry couldn't help the blush that crept up on his cheeks as the blue-eyed boy kept cleaning up his face, "Thank you," Harry murmured, "Of course,"
After Louis was done he threw the trash away, "Can you tell me what happened?" Harry nodded softly, "I was walking here and then he just grabbed me by my hoodie and started punching me and then he called me the f slur," Louis grabbed his hand. "I'm sorry that happened, I'll talk to the coach and see if I can get him kicked off the team,"
"No, you don't have to do that, he's one of the best players," Louis smiled at him, "But I want to, he hurt you, and I'm not letting him get away with it," the green-eyed boy blushed with a small dimpled smile. "Thank you, but why me?" Louis raised a brow, "Why are you doing this, I'm just some gay nerd who agreed to help you in math so you can play at the next game, you don't need to do this for me. Is this just a big joke, you never talked to me until two days ago and now we talk like we've known each other for years,"
Louis moved closer to Harry, "I never talked to you because I was scared to," Harry looked at him with confusion, "What?" he murmured. "I was scared to talk to you because I like you, and when coach told me that I needed to get a C or better in order to play and that he wanted me to get a tutor, it gave me the perfect opportunity to talk to you and to get to know you. I promise this isn't just a big joke, I swear,"
"How do I know you're not just lying to me?" Louis grabbed his other hand and pulled him closer before he cradled his cheeks and smashed their lips together. Harry's breathing hitched, and he couldn't comprehend what was happening, Louis still didn't pull away after a few moments and that's when Harry started to kiss him back.
"Now do you believe me?" he asked a little out of breath as he pulled away, Harry only nodded softly, "Can I kiss you again?" he simply nodded his head again, unable to form his thoughts into words. Louis reconnected their lips, and this time, Harry kissed back instantly, the older smiled against the green-eyed boy's lips before pulling away.
Harry looked down at his feet with a blush, Louis lifted his chin, "Do you wanna go out with me sometime?" the younger boy bit his lip softly, "I would love to," Louis smiled at the shy, flustered boy. "Do you still want to study?" Louis nodded, "Yeah, the test is tomorrow," Harry grabbed his hand, "I think you'll pass, you are good at math, Louis, you just got to make it interesting for you,"
~
After about an hour, they finished studying, "Let me know how you do on the test," Louis smiled at him "Of course,"
They walked out of the school together, Louis grabbed his hand before they left the building and pulled him back before kissing his lips. Harry giggled softly as he kissed back with a blush, "Bye, Lou," he said as he pulled away, "Bye curly, same time tomorrow?" Harry nodded, "Definitely,"
~~
Louis ran into the study room with a paper in his hands, "Harry! I passed!" Harry stood up with a smile and hugged him, "See I knew you could do it," Louis handed him his test, "I got a B+," Harry's smile widened, "See you are good at math," Harry told him. Louis kissed him, "It's all thanks to you," Harry giggled softly before handing Louis his test back, "I guess that means you're playing at tomorrow's game,"
"Are you going to be there?" Harry blushed nervously, "I-I don't usually go to those types of things," Louis pouted, "Please, for me, I take you out for ice cream after, I'll even give you a ride to the game, just please can you come to watch the game?" he begged with pleading eyes and an even bigger pout.
Harry giggled softly, "Okay, okay, I'll go," Louis smiled and kissed his cheek, "Thanks curly," the green-eyed boy giggled again and hid his blushy face from the older boy. "Don't hide your blush, your blush is beautiful," Louis told him as he lifted Harry's chin, his cheeks darkened as he gave Louis a dimpled smile.
The older boy connected their lips, "Your smile is the cutest thing ever," Harry giggled against his lips, "So I guess I'll see you at the game," Louis nods with a smile, "I can pick you up at six, coach says we need to be thirty minutes early to warm up," Harry smiled softly and nods, "Sure,"
~~
There was a knock on Harry's front door, Louis was here and Harry was freaking out, he quickly ran down the stairs, almost tripping on his feet before opening the door. "You ready, curly?" the green-eyed boy nodded, Louis grabbed his waist and pulled him closer before connecting their lips. "Couldn't resist," Louis told the boy, making him giggle and blush, Louis laced their fingers together as he led the younger to the car. He opened the door for Harry, making him blush, "Thank you,"
~
The game was just about to start, and Harry was sitting on the first row of bleachers, Louis ran up to him and gave the boy his team jacket. The green-eyed boy blushed bright red as he took it, a few girls cooed behind him, making his cheeks darken even more. Louis smiled at him before running onto the field, Harry put the jacket on with a blushy smile, it was a little big on him, but it made him smile.
~
Harry was bouncing his leg up and down, it was the last fifteen seconds of the game, and Louis had just snatched the ball from one of their opponents. Louis sprinted across the field with the ball with ten seconds left on the clock, the other team's players closely behind him. The scores were tied, in the last five seconds Louis shoots the ball toward the goal, but the goalkeeper misses when he dives for the ball, letting it hit the back of the net and giving Louis' team the win.
Harry cheers as the rest of the team runs to Louis and give him a group hug, after a moment, Louis pulls away from the group and runs to Harry. When he reaches the younger, he pulls him in by his waist and kisses him, Harry blushed and kissed him back before burying his face nervously.
"Don't hide, baby," Harry bit his lip softly when he heard the nickname before slowly looking back at Louis, the older smiled at him and pecked his cheek. "I'm gonna go take a shower and get changed, then, I'll take you out for ice cream," Harry nods, "Okay," Louis kissed him again, "You look adorable in my jacket by the way," the smaller giggled with a blush as Louis pulled away.
~
Harry was standing by Louis' car waiting for him, after another ten minutes the blue-eyed boy jogged out of the school toward him. When Louis got close enough he trapped the boy between himself and his car, "Thank you for coming to the game tonight, I really liked seeing you in the bleachers with my jacket on,"
The green-eyed boy giggled, Louis leaned in and captured the boy's lips, and Harry kissed him back as he cupped the older's cheeks. "Do you want to go get ice cream now?" Louis asked once he pulled away, Harry nodded, "That sounds amazing,"
~
"What ice cream do you want, it's my treat," Harry blushed, "Um, strawberry cheesecake," Louis smiled, "that's my favorite," Harry giggled softly, "Mine too,"
Once they got their ice cream they sat down at a little table by a window, "You did really good at the game, I enjoyed watching you," Louis smiled as he grabbed the younger's hand before lacing their fingers together. "Thank you for going, and thank you for helping me pass my test, I couldn't have done it without you," Harry blushed for what seemed like the millionth time that day, "I knew you could do it, you just needed to make it more interesting for you,"
~
Louis pulled into Harry's driveway, and Harry pouted, "What's wrong?" Louis asked as he grabbed the younger's hand, "I just don't want today to end, I've had so much fun with you tonight," Louis smiled before pulling him into a kiss. "Well, since tomorrow's Saturday maybe we can hang out tomorrow?" he suggested as he pulled away, "I would love that,"
Harry took off Louis' jacket before handing it to him, "Bye curly, see you tomorrow," the green-eyed boy blushed softly "Definitely, see you tomorrow, Lou,"
