Title: Keep smiling - Part Four.
Pairing: Harry/Louis (Larry Stylinson)
Summary: Prompted by oh-whoalord - It's not easy starting a new school, half way through the academic year. It's not easy having a secret, and it's certainly not easy when you realize that you're helplessly crushing on the seemingly most heterosexual guy in your class.

It was lunch time at Hall Cross school, and as per usual, nearly everyone was in the common room. Harry sat across from Niall and some girl the Irish boy was currently trying to pull, (her name was Lydia, he reminded himself.) idly playing with a loose thread from his blazer as he tried to act like he was paying attention to how Niall had apparently scored four goals when playing a game of football with some lads from his street. It was utter bullshit and they both knew it, Niall was terrible at sport. However, luckily for him, Lydia had no idea.
A soft vibration from his pocket made him jump slightly and as he fished his phone out, he couldn't help but smile.

Boys toilets. English block. Five minutes. - L x
Harry grinned, looking behind him to where Louis stood with Zayn and a few other of his friends. He looked just as bored as he was. Returning his gaze to his mobile screen, he began composing a quick reply.

See you there :). - H x
“Sorry guys, this all sounds terribly fascinating but I'm going to have to be right back. Need the loo.” The Cheshire lad smiled, shouldering his bag as he stood up. He knew that neither Lydia nor Niall had picked up on the sarcasm in his voice, and that fact alone made him resist the urge to roll his eyes. He could probably start making seagull noises at the top of his lungs and nobody would notice, still, he wasn't going to try. He faintly registered Niall calling after him about having to see Miss Lucas about an essay before registration so if he wasn't to worry if he wasn't in the common room when he got back, not that Harry would have. He wasn't the type to need to be around someone 24/7.
The English block was somewhere nobody voluntarily went unless you wanted a broken ankle, or something along those lines. It was the oldest part of the school, being built over eighty years ago, and time had certainly taken its toll. The floor was no longer even and unless you were being extremely careful with your footing, there was a 90% possibility that you'd fall flat on your face within ten seconds. Harry, however, was used to old buildings and so it wasn't that difficult for him to keep upright, something which Niall had said was 'bloody unfair!' The toilets were also the less popular of all the options at the school, and this time not due to their age. It was more the fact that the taps never worked properly; the hot water was either scalding or freezing, and the cold could probably give you pneumonia after three seconds of exposure. All in all, it was the perfect place to meet Louis in school without the risk of anybody seeing them.
Exactly five minutes after Harry had reached the toilets and had set his bag down on the floor, sitting on the counter beside the sinks, the door creaked open again and Louis walked in, a smile playing on his lips.
“You came.”
Biting his tongue against the temptation to make an obvious innuendo about the Doncaster lad's previous statement, Harry simply grinned. “I did. Did you think I wouldn't?”
Louis shrugged, dropping his bag beside Harry's and moving to stand between the younger boy's legs. “I don't know. We are in school, after all. It's a bit risky...” he trailed off, resting his hands on Harry's thighs and staring at him from beneath his eyelashes in a way that, to Harry, made him look so attractive it surely couldn't have been legal.
“If It's so risky,” Harry started, placing his hands over Louis' and caressing the skin softly. “then why did you ask to meet here?”
“Because you look so goddamn hot today that there's no way I could have gone until 3:30 without doing this.” Leaning forwards, Louis captured the other boy's lips with his own, waiting only a second before prying them open with his tongue and initiating a playful battle between the two. Harry tasted like sweets and cola. That, added to the scent of winter leaves and fresh air that always radiated from the younger boy only fuelled the desire burning within Louis' stomach. The soft moan that escaped Harry's mouth was the last straw. Gripping Harry's hips, Louis pulled him to the edge of the counter and bit down on his lip while simultaneously grinding their pelvises together.
“Fuck,” Harry hissed, wrapping his legs around the older lad's waist and returning the kiss with twice as much intensity.
“What do you say,” Louis broke the kiss to speak, only to seek out Harry's lips once more before continuing. “you and I skip the rest of the day. Go to mine, or yours, wherever.”
The Cheshire boy opened his mouth to talk, but whatever words he may have thought of died in his throat when Louis rotated his hips in just the right way that left him slightly breathless and desperate for more. It was only his the fact that he knew Anne would kill him if he skipped a day that kept him from going along with Louis' plan.
“Can't.” he mumbled against his lips. “Mum would freak and- shit, you've got to stop doing that otherwise I won't be able to control myself.” Harry groaned softly, letting his legs fall from their previous position around Louis' waist.
“So don't control yourself.” Louis smirked, but halted his movements nonetheless. He wasn't going to force Harry into anything he wasn't comfortable with.
The younger boy raised an eyebrow, smiling softly. “We're in school, Tomlinson. Behave.”
Neither boy really acknowledged the near-silent creaking of the door as they leaned in for one final kiss before Louis stepped backwards and helped Harry down from the counter. Thinking about it in retrospect, they probably shouldn't have been so careless, but they were young. They were young and in love, and with youth came a lack of responsibility. In that moment though, as they straightened out their clothing and tried to make it look as though they hadn't just been involved in one of their most heated make-out sessions so far, they had forgotten all of that. They had forgotten the outside world and it was probably the biggest mistake they could have made.
The rest of the day passed as normal, both boys completely oblivious to the whispers that circulated at the back of the classroom as they texted beneath their desks. Between texts, however, Harry made sure to continue the tradition that he had started weeks ago. Louis smiled as he read the message.
Anonymous asked you:
You have a beautiful smile, you know. It may seem like this is getting old, but it's nothing but the truth. You light up my world like nobody else when you smile. It's amazing.
New text: Louis (07.04.12 at 2:10pm)
So I know this guy. Well, not really KNOW him, if you know what I mean. But he talks to me on Tumblr a lot. Anonymously, of course. - L x
Harry licked his lips nervously, glancing up to where Louis was sat with his gaze fixed to the front desk. To an outsider, it
would seem as though he was actually paying attention to Mr Walsh as he drawled on about “The importance of how the genocide has helped shape our modern community,” but Harry could tell that he wasn't. It was in the way that he was tapping his fingers against his cheek as he rested his chin on his palm, elbows propped up on the table. It was in the way that he kept his eyes closed for a second too long when he blinked, only to open them quickly for fear of actually falling asleep. It was the little things like the way his thumb was swiping back and forth over the screen of his phone as he waited for a reply, and Harry couldn't help but think that noticing these things was a clear indication that he was already in too deep.

Oh? - H x
New Text: Louis (07.04.12 at 2:14pm)
Took your time replying, didn't you? :P But yeah. - L x
New Text: Harry (07.04.12 at 2:16pm)
Sorry, got distracted. So what do you think of this guy then? - H x
New Text: Louis (07.04.12 at 2:18pm)
I'm a little offended to be honest.
Harry's heart sank as he read the message. His palms began to sweat and, in all honestly, he just wanted to curl up in a corner with some Ben and Jerries and cry. His phone buzzed, indicating another text. His fingers shook as he opened it and read.
New Text: Louis (07.04.12 at 2:18pm)
Stupid technology! Sent that before I was finished writing. Anyway, I'm a little offended that he's so scared to come off of anonymous. Am I that scary? I'm not scary, am I? And I'm a little offended that, after all this time, he still thinks I have no idea who he is. I do. - L xx
New Text: Harry (07.04.12 at 2:20pm)
You do? - H xx
Louis rolled his eyes as he read over the message, replying with a small smile on his face.
New Text: Louis (07.04.12 at 2:21pm)
I do. Honestly, Haz. You're offending me even MORE now. I'm writing these long ass texts, using nearly all of my character count, and you're replying with two word answers. Am I that dull as well as scary? :( - L xx
Harry could have sworn that his heart stopped beating. He was pretty sure that it skipped at least five beats as he read the text. He was reading the signs wrong, wasn't he? There was no way that Louis was telling him that he knew he was the sender, was he?
New Text: Harry (07.04.12 at 2:22pm)
Sorry. You're not scary OR boring. You're amazing. If you know who he is, why don't you tell him? - H xx
New Text: Louis (07.04.12 at 2:22pm)
I do, in my own little ways. Might have to actually get to the point and be direct if he still isn't picking up on my hints though. Let me think... he has fantastic hair and my sisters adore him. - L xx
He was about to reply when he noticed that Louis had responded to his ask.
YOU'RE amazing. Xx
Harry grinned.
New Text: Harry (07.04.12 at 2:23pm)
I'll take that as a 'we're babysitting tonight' then? :) - H xxx
New Text: Louis (07.04.12 at 2:24pm)
Obviously. I'm starting to think they like you more than me now! They don't love me any more :(- L xx
New Text: Harry (07.04.12 at 2:24pm)
It's impossible for someone not to love you. - H xx
New Text: Harry (07.04.12 at 2:24pm)
