Louis sat in the library, his face covered by his hands holding a thick stack of cream colored paper. He had gotten the lead roll in the school play, and he was rehearsing his lines every second he could.

"Ugh" he groaned, tossing the stack on the gray circular table he sat at. He threw his head back and stretched his arms up, yawning.

He had been there all day. It was Saturday and his house was too noisy to concentrate, so he found himself here. Alone in the dimly lit library.

He yawned again and grabbed the papers, skimming over them once more before slipping them carefully into a folder and placing that in his bag.

He stood up, pushing his glasses up, and walked out of the library into the cold night. It was raining and miserable, the kind of temperature that just made you want to cuddle up under the blankets and listen to the rain lull you to sleep.

The wind was cold and piercing, it easily blew through Louis' thin green tshirt.

He sped walked through the barren parking lot to his car, and hopped in. He shuddered as the back of his thighs touched the cold leather seat. He tossed his bag into the passengets seat and quickly drove home.

He got home and walked up to the front door, turning the handle. It was open.

He quietly opened the door and slipped in, too tired to care if there were any intruders.

He tossed off his shoes and shuffled his feet to the bathroom, brushing his teeth and peeing before stripping down to his boxers and walking into his room

"Holy shit" he cursed quietly to himself when he saw a figure sleeping in his bed.

His heartrate went back to the normal speed when he saw it was just Harry. He would do this often. They were best mates and had keys for eachothers houses. Whenever Gemma had her boyfriend over, Harry would always let himself into Louis' house to spend the night.

He groaned and stepped forward to see Harry drooling all over his pillow, his leg was sticking out of the blankets and his arms were all over the place. He looked like a crumpled up peice of paper.

Carefully, Louis tucked Harry's leg back in and walked back downstairs, laying on the couch.

He closed his eyes, and was asleep in an instant.

*

Louis woke up with a hot breath on his face. He cracked one eye open with a grimace

"What?" He groaned

"Hi" Harry smiled

"Hi" Louis said back

"Why'd you sleep on the couch?" Harry's asked

"Cuz you were in my bed" Louis yawned

"Well I could have taken the couch" Harry replied

"You were sleeping, I didn't want to wake you up. Its fine, the couch is comfy" Louis said

"Well next time just crawl into bed beside me" Harry suggested

"And let you drool on me? No thanks" Louis laughed

Harry rolled his eyes with a smile, pulling Louis off the couch

"We have a day off school today, let's do something fun" Harry said

"I'd love to H, but I have to practice for the play, its next week" Louis groaned

"Oh, I can help you" Harry smiled

"Its okay, I'm sure you'd rather do something fun with Niall instead" Louis shrugged

"So would you kick me out if I decided to stay and help?" Harry asked

"I'd never kick you out of my house, you know that" Louis said

"Then I'm helping you, I'll help you with your lines" Harry protested

"I guess I cant say no to that. Accually that would be really helpful" Louis realised

Harry jumped up and pranced around the living room and into the kitchen

Louis laughed and got up, following Harry into the kitchen

He smelled bacon sizzling on the frying pan, buttered toast and scrambled eggs

"Harry, you made breakfast?" Louis asked stunned

"Yeah, it's the least I could do after you let me sleep here for the night" he said

"You don't have to repay me for that love" Louis laughed cutely, blushing at the name slipping

Harry just looked behind him at Louis and gave him a small smile

Harry plated up the food and they sat down, starting to eat

"Where were you last night anyways? I got to your house and nobody was home" Harry asked

"Mum took the girls on a weekend trip camping and I was at the library studying" Louis said behind his hand, through a mouthful of food

"That sounds fun, where did they go?" He asked

"I'm not sure really, some place up North" Louis said

They finished their food and Louis brought the plates to the sink, washing them.

Harry came up behind him and watched as Louis small, veiny hands scrubbed the dishes, and how the warm water flowed over his tanned skin, making it glow.

He finished and dyed off his hands, spinning around, chest to chest with the taller boy.

"Thanks for breakfast Haz" Louis smiled, giving Harry a hug

"Mhm" Harry smiled into the top of Louis hair.

They stayed in the position for a little too long to be considered friendly, but they ignored that.

"Alright, where are your papers?" Harry asked, breaking the tension

"Over here" Louis said pulling away and grabbing his bag

"Let's go to my room to do it" he said

They walked up the stairs and sat on Louis bed, criss cross, facing eachother.

Louis took out the papers and looked them over

"Okay, so the play is about a girl who meets a guy, which is me, at University" Louis said

Harry grimaced

"I know it's boring right?" Louis laughed, and Harry nodded

"That's okay, I still wanna help you, where do we start?" Harry asked

"Hmm, well we can start from the beginning and then just carry on until we get bored" Louis said

"Okay, so these are your lines" Louis said, handing Harry a stack of papers. He looked through them, smiling and laughing slightly at the cheesy lines

"Alright, let's do this" Harry laughed

"Chad I love you-" Harry started, but was cut off by both of their laughter

"Hisnameischad" Harry cackled somthing incoherent, toppling over onto the bed, Louis was laughing equally as hard, not realizing how dumb the play sounded until he actually was reading it outloud.

They continued to go through the lines, trying not to laugh, when they really started to get into it

"I love you, Lou- Lucy. I want to be more than your best friend. I want to kiss your lips" Harry said with passion, looking Louis directly in the eyes. He blushed a bit at the slip up with the names.

Louis gulped, it didn't seem like Harry was acting.

"I love you too" Louis whispered his line back

*Chad proceeds to kiss Lucy*

They both looked down at the script to read that. Harry looked back up at Louis, still in character and clutching onto the paper.

Louis fiddled with the cream colored paper in his hand, his eyes nervously darting from Harry's eyes, to the papers, then to his lips.

Harry gently cupped Louis' jaw, not breaking eye contact. He pulled him close, their lips were centimeters apart.

Harry leaned in, closing his eyes.

Louis gasped, pulling back slightly. Their lips ghosted over one anothers before Louis leaned in slightly, their lips fitting together perfectly.

Their lips didn't move for a while, just stayed in the same spot. Harry gently kissed Louis' bottom lip, pulling back for a brief moment before kissing him again.

Their lips moved slowly, heavily breathing through their noses. It was all very slow and innocent, an innocent first kiss filled with butterflies and adrenaline.

They pulled back slowly, moving in and out, their lips grazing as if they were teasing eachother.

Louis went back in for another kiss, but Harry dodged it much like Louis had before.

Louis grabbed the back of Harry's neck, pulling him forward and smashing their lips together for a brief moment before both boys pulled back suddenly, snapping out of it

Louis shakily looked back down at the script, neither of them daring to speak.

"Sorry" Louis whispered, looking nervously down at his fingers.

"Louis were home!" Jay called through the house, the giggles of the girls echoed through the hallways. Louis took this opportunity to get out of this awkward moment, and walk downstairs

He wiped his lips, his legs felt weak as he walked down the stairs. The butterflies in his stomach alive as ever.

"Hey mum, I thought you lot were coming back on Sunday?" He said

"We were but the tent got soaking wet, it's okay though, I think the girls had enough- oh, hey Harry" she said, looking over Louis shoulder at the blushing boy behind him.

"Hi Jay" he replied

The twins ran into the room, latching themselves onto Harry

"Come play!" They shouted, and Harry happily followed them into the living room

"Did he spend the night?" Jay asked

"Yeah" Louis replied, he was still quite shocked, the perfect kiss replaying over and over again in his head

He gave his mum a quick hug, then went into the living room with Harry and his sisters

He sat down on the couch while he watched Harry sitting on the ground with the girls, trying to put a shoe on one of the Barbie dolls, but failing.

Harry shyly looked up at Louis, who smiled gently, both boys madly blushing. The girls were clueless, they just wanted Harry to finish with the shoe so they could start playing

Harry looked away and finished with the shoes, passing it to Daisy.

He played with them for a while before standing up and sitting on the couch beside Louis.

"Don't be sorry" Harry said quietly

"Hm?" Louis asked

"Don't be sorry" Harry repeated a bit louder

Louis blushed

"I liked it" Harry said

"I liked it too" Louis replied

"Alrighty girlies, bed time" Jay sang from the kitchen

"We don't wanna go to bed" they whined

"Were going to bed too" Louis said, and that immediately convinced the girls

They all got ready for bed. The boys hugged the girls goodnight, then made their way into Louis' room

"Stay the night" Louis asked

Harry nodded, then looked at the time, it was only 9pm.

"Should we um....should we go over the script again-" Harry asked, but he was cut off by a pair of thin pink lips pressing into his own.

Louis tangled his fingers into Harry's curls, kissing him more passionately than before

Harry pulled back slightly, only to press his tounge against Louis bottom lip. Louis reciprocated by letting Harry slide his tounge into his mouth.

It was all very different, neither of them had kissed anyone before, so their tounges were all over the place. They were running out of breath as their lips got red and swollen from kissing.

Hot, uneven breaths and soft noises of pleasure echoed through the dark room.

Harry took Louis bottom lip between his teeth, pulling slightly and slipping his tounge back into Louis' mouth, exploring every inch.

Harry had Louis up against the wall, his hand propping his body up as his other hand snaked it's way under Louis jumper, resting on his warm hip.

Louis leaned forward, taking a few steps to gently push Harry onto the bed. Without pulling back, he straddled the younger boys waist, as his hands seemed to be all over Harry's body.

Harry had his hands tangled in Louis' hair, cupping his soft face, sometimes grasping onto his thick thighs.

Both boys out of breath, pulled back. Harry rested his hands under Louis jumper, on his hips, rubbing nonsensical patterns into his smooth skin.

"Goodnight boy- OH?"

Jay had walked in, seeing them in this compromising (and extremely sexual) position. Their lips centimeters away from eachother. It was very obvious they were making out moments before, just looking at their wrinkled clothes, red, shiny and swollen lips.

Louis jumped off of Harry as Jay smiled behind her hand and closed the door

Everything was quiet for a moment before she knocked at the door

"Can I come in?" She knocked

The boys looked at eachother embarrassed, straightening out their clothes and sitting on opposite sides of the bed

"Erm...yeah" Louis said, shaking

She opened the door

"I'm sorry for not knocking, I just wanted to say good night to you boys" she said, peeking her head in

"Goodnight" they said in unison

She smiled and closed the door again.

Harry looked over at Louis, scooting close to him again

"Wanna cuddle?" He asked shyly

Louis smiled at Harry's nervousness and nodded, giving him a peck on the cheek

Harry pushed him down softly, laying his head on Louis' chest, tucked up under his arm

Louis turned his body slightly to be facing him, Harry's face buried in his chest, Louis resting his chin ontop of Harry's head.

They layed there for a while in silence, their breaths synchronized.

"What are we?" Harry whispered

And Louis didn't have the answer

"What do you want us to be?" He answered after a second of thinking

He felt Harry smile into his chest

"More than friends" he replied

"I want to be more than friends too" Louis whispered back

And like that, they fell asleep wrapped up in eachother.
