I helped Lou put away the groceries, he seemed fine. But the need to apologize to him was making me want to throw up and cry.

"Lou.." I said, my voice barley above a whisper. He turned around, his jumper sleeves rolled up to his elbows as he did the dishes. "I'm sorry," my voice went up a few octaves. I looked down, trying so hard not to cry. He wiped his hands on his slacks and knelt by me, slipping his hands into my hair, my beanie falling to the ground. He rubbed by my ears, they were pressed flat against my head.

"You didn't do anything wrong, Haz." He said softly, pressing a kiss to my forehead.

"Yes I did. I should-I should've said something. Done something. He touched you, Louis. He touched you. He was so drunk-" I rambled, sniffling and stuttering.

"Harry. Calm down, lovely. Look, I'm fine. No harm done." He smiled. I looked up at him, my eyes glassy. He was so pretty. And kind. And just. Perfect. I could feel butterflies in my stomach and my heart swelling. Shakily, I reached my hands up to grab his cheeks, starting intently into his eyes. He smiled and pressed into my hands, a cheeky smile on his face.

"You're pretty, Lou." I breathed. I don't know why. I have no fucking idea why I did what I did next. Lou opened his mouth to speak, and I planted my lips on his. My face heating up as I held his in place. I have no idea why I did it. But it felt so good. So right. Lou placed his hands over mine and swiped his

tongue over my bottom lip, making me shiver. I had never kissed anyone before. He pried my mouth open with his tongue and ran it over mine, making a noise escape my mouth and into his. It was so nice for being my first kiss. I loved louis. So so so much. He broke away, rubbing my cheeks with the pad of his thumb.

"Fuck Haz," Lou breathed. "That was hot." He smiled and pressed his forehead to mine.

"I love you, Lou." I giggled.

"I love you too Haz." He replied, kissing me again.

I had only known louis for a few days, but in those few days he had cared for me more than anyone has in my entire life. I truly loved Louis. It was cliché and irrational but I really did. I didn't just love louis, I was IN love with him. And I would do anything for him. No matter what.
