Chapter Notes
I've kept some family names in tact, so this is just a friendly reminder that these
characters are in no way based off of their real life personas. I just like their names. :)
See the end of the chapter for more notes
“Oh my GOD, that was the most insufferable human being I have ever encountered in my entire
existence!”
Louis, still passionately irate, has just burst through the door to their flat, eyes seeking Niall
instantly.
He’s on the couch, limbs outstretched with one arm on the back of the sofa, discarded crisp bags
everywhere, empty beer bottles at his feet, and clad in track pants and an American basketball
jersey as he looks up from his laptop, tellie blaring whatever footie match he’s currently halfwatching.
“That bad, eh?”
“Oh, it was WORSE,” Louis exclaims, kicking off his shoes and ripping off his jumper. “I did not
know people like that actually existed. I mean—I can’t believe we’re the same species. I can’t
believe we’re made of the same stuff—surely there’s a computer chip in him somewhere because
that is not a human being, Niall, no, that is a robotic monster with no sense of decency or feelings
of any nature!” He’s out of breath from his exuberant tirade, and he stares at Niall wildly, trousers
half-done.
Niall’s eyebrows shoot into the air, pausing before he brings a bottle of beer to his lips while Louis
storms into his room.
“Really? He always seemed all right to me.”
“All right?? ALL RIGHT??! Niall, have you any brains in that blonde, liquored head of yours??
Has your silver-spooned upbringing clouded your sense of judgment that severely??” Louis
splutters, pausing his actions of stuffing on an oversized vest (which might also be Niall’s, he can’t
remember).
The rest of the beer is finished in one gulp. “Nah, I don’t think so. I’ve got pretty good judgment.
I’m starving—dinner soon?”
But Louis ignores him, his face flushed with all the fury of a thousand suns.
