Louis Weasley frowned, tapping his feet impatiently on the dusty floor. He had been waiting for Teddy to get out of his office at Grimmauld Place. Louis knew the older boy would probably work himself to starvation or death if he didn't regularly check in on him. That was the reason he came every single day to his house to cook. He had no alternative reason whatsoever. It had nothing to do with a childish crush on the older boy. He checked his pocket watch and sighed. Teddy was taking forever! "Teddy! Teddy! Come out!"
"In a minute!" He heard Teddy call from his office. Louis shook his head and went back into the kitchen.
He smiled gleefully at his grilled cheese sandwiches. They were pretty good if he did say so himself. "Hurry!"
"I'm not a child," grumbled Teddy Lupin as he trudged into the kitchen.
"And that's exactly what a child would say," Louis reminded him. He turned around and his smile wavered. Why wasn't Teddy wearing a shirt? Why? He couldn't keep his eyes off Teddy's chest. He laughed nervously; his eyes still focused on Teddy's well sculpted chest.
Teddy blushed as he noticed Louis' gaze. "I know. I know. I need to eat more. I'm scrawny."
Louis nodded, forcing his eyes off. Which was a very difficult task, mind you. "That's why I'm here, you know."
Teddy laughed, ruffling Louis' hair affectionately. "Let's eat then."
Louis grabbed two clean plates and served the sandwiches. He placed Teddy's plate in front of his usual seat, trying so hard not to focus on the other boy's body. Louis took the seat in front of Teddy. "Have you been eating lately?"
Teddy looked bashful. "Convenience store mainly."
Louis shook his head. "You have to eat more properly! Aunt Ginny keeps insisting on it, you know."
Teddy gave Louis a crooked smile. "Maybe it's because I want you cooking for me."
Louis almost choked on the water he started to drink. Did Teddy know the effect those words had on him? It didn't help that Teddy leaped up and started making soothing rubbing motions on his back. Louis smiled weakly. "I'm alright. I'm alright. Water went down wrong."
Teddy gave Louis a curious look but said nothing more. Louis was only too aware of the hand still on his back. Louis sighed as Teddy ruffled his hair before moving back to his seat. He better fasten his seat belt because it looked like it was going to be a long ride to Teddy's heart.
