*Harry's POV*
As soon as I had walked into the front door of my home, I sank to the floor and sobbed. Seeing Louis was just too overwhelming. Every old emotion had slithered it's way back into my skin. I replayed the encounter over and over through my mind. Consciousness slipped away, and I sunk into sleep.
The sound of buzzing woke me up about an hour later. I picked up my phone.
1 new message.
From Louis.
I frantically opened it, hoping for something reassuring.
"Hazza, are you okay?" It read.
My heart started to race.
"Yes. I'm fine. I'm just going through a tough time at the moment." I replied.
Louis responded almost instantly.
"Let me know if you need anything. I'm here for you. 3"
A heart?
Did that mean...?
No.
Of course not. It was meaningless.
But maybe...
*About 1 month later*
"It's so nice to see you smiling again!" Niall gushed. I smiled wide, feeling happier. My phone went off again for the third time in a minute.
"I'm thinking about coming to the apartment complex to visit you and Ni :3" Said the text from Louis. My cheeks went pink. I was excited.
"Please do so! I miss you, LouLou! c:" I replied.
Louis and I had been talking non-stop ever since that day we saw eachother again. I was still madly in love with him, but I wouldn't let it get in the way of our recovered friendship.
"I'm on my way, bear. :)" Louis replied.
I started to giggle. We used those names back when we were together, and it reminded me of a happier time.
"Oooooh, what's goin' on?" Niall snickered, poking my ribs.
I laughed more, agreeing to tell him.
"So me and Louis have been talking for a month straight now. And things are almost back to normal. He should be here in about fifteen minutes." I sighed.
"Do you still love him?" Niall asked.
"Yes. But I'm not going to let that interfere with our friendship this time. I'll just stop loving him." I said.
Niall didn't seem impressed.
"You can't push your feelings to the side, you know." He said plainly.
"Of course I can."
"No, you can't. And you can't stop loving someone either."
"Niall. I CAN."
"Harry, I know you can't."
"Louis did."
A strange silence fell across the room.
"How did you feel when you saw Louis again?"
"My... My old feelings had resurfaced..."
"Exactly."
My mind was fuzzy with confusion. What the hell did 'Exactly' mean?
"I don't understand what you're getting at."
"Louis hasn't stopped loving you."
"He HAS."
"No Harry. You don't understand. It's not easy to push away and forget someone who made a significant impact on your life."
"I didn't affect his life in any way."
"You did. You showed him what true love felt like. Love can't die. No matter how hard you try to forget it, it will always be the one thing that overpowers every other feeling in the world."
There was a knock at the front door. Niall made his way to the door, and opened it.
"Niall!" Louis squealed, pulling him into his arms for a tight hug. Then, Louis walked over to me.
"Hey Harry!" He said, in a slightly seductive manner. He wrapped his arms around my waist and gave me a hug that felt... Like the ones we used to share back when he was mine.
No.
He was just being friendly.
Right?
"Hey LouLou" I whispered into his ear, still caught in his embrace. I felt him shiver slightly.
"I'd REALLY love to stay, but I have a few errands I need to run. You guys are welcome to wait here until I finish. I should be back in about an hour." Niall said, a slight smirk visible on his face. That little fuck! I knew what he was doing! And I was loving his idea. Niall waved goodbye, and walked out of the door.
Before I could turn my attention back to Louis, I felt two hands grab the side of my face and pull me close. I stared into Louis' gorgeous eyes. He pulled my face closer. Our noses were touching, and tiny sparks floated through me. Then, our lips met. My eyes shut, and I was intoxicated with pure bliss. He pulled away, not saying anything. I craved more, and I crashed my lips onto his, kissing him with much more force. I pushed him into the couch, and we fell, me on top. I clawed at his t-shirt, throwing it to the floor once it was off. He ripped my button-up shirt off and started running his hands up my chest. I shivered, taking in the feeling of his skin on mine. He pushed me off and onto the ground, pouncing on me. I undid my jeans and pulled them off, then did the same for Louis. We were in nothing but our underwear, yet it was still too much. He moved his lips down my neck, then chest, all the way until he got to my waistband. He yanked them off, gazing at my massive hard-on. Before he could do anything else to me, I grabbed his underwear and pulled them right down to his ankles, waiting for him to quickly kick them off. He returned to my lips, grinding our hips together. I moaned, wanting to release right then.
"Wait." I panted.
"What!? Why!?" Louis protested.
I sat up, pulling my boxers back on.
"I thought things were supposed to be different." I said.
"Harry, I know what I said, but I realized that it was a mistake the minute I let myself say it. I couldn't get you off of my mind. I didn't talk to you because I was ashamed and I didn't want to hear you tell me about how much you hated me. I never stopped loving you. I was a confused fool. I didn't know what to do. But the answer is clear to me now. Harry Styles, I love you with all of my heart. I want to be by your side for forever. Please."
Tears started to form in my eyes. I grabbed his face and pulled so our lips could meet once more. We decided not to fuck, and Louis finally put on his boxers. But we did start making out on the couch.
After about an hour, me and Louis were still going at it.
"The fuck!" Niall yelled.
We stopped and looked at the front door. Niall had returned, and we hadn't heard him come in.
"Please, for the love of god, don't get cum everywhere." He wailed. He decided to go visit Liam, letting us have a bit of privacy while we were sucking face. We were going to meet him there in two hours.
We got ready to leave for Liam's.
"Sooo... Are we... Together... Again?" Louis shakily asked.
"Of course, Tommo." I gushed, messing up his hair.
"Should we tell the boys?"
I thought for a moment.
"Absolutely."
(Just letting you know, the story ain't over. Be excited for part four. c:)
