to be forever young
pairing: LouisMegan
prompt: fairytale
He supposes it's a bit silly, but he always listened closely to his mother's fairytales and can easily see himself on a white horse, galloping to his princess' rescue. Love should be a fairytale, he thinks, and even though Dom tells him he's setting his standards a bit too high and James laughs at him for his "girly romantics," he patiently waits for his own princess.
And then there's Megan Finnigan, and she's much too coarse and a little too in-your-face and almost unbearably bossy (kind of like his cousin Lily, Louis thinks privately). But she has a beautiful smile and her chocolatey eyes are always so warm and she makes him laugh like no other.
And when she asks Louis out to Hogsmede, her warm eyes dancing, he finds himself eagerly saying yes. And when she spontaneously kisses him in the middle of the street ("I do think you've bewitched me with all your creepy Veela magic, Mr. Weasley," she giggles after the fact, when all Louis can do is stutter and stare at her), he thinks he might actually be insanely attracted to one Megan Finnigan.
And when he kisses her one day, she doesn't swoon and there are no birds chirping merrily in the background. Instead she looks at him, her brown eyes shining, and grins. "You're cute," she tells him, and suddenly he's the one blushing and stuttering again, and she smirks and kisses him.
"You're pretty cute yourself," he manages, and she snorts and rolls her eyes nicely, and Louis cracks an apologetic smile because Megan is not something as trivial as cute, she's beautiful and funny and strangely fascinating, but not cute and he likes that. And she's not the kind of princess who needs rescuing, but maybe this can still be a fairytale.
