Young & Beautiful

planning it out or anything,” Louis says, sitting down on one of the velvet armchairs and feeling a
bit sick.
“How did it come up?”
“Well, he was talking about his and Zayn’s relationship then he asked me if I was single, then he
asked why, and then he just asked me!”
“Was it a pity invite? Because you’re alone?” Niall asks, putting the lid on the gelato and returning
it to the freezer.
Oh god.
Louis shrinks in horror. “OHMYGOD. You don’t think it was, was it? Does he think I’m
pathetic? And so lonely that he was offering his and his boyfriend’s bodies to me?” Louis ponders
this good and hard, then suddenly clutches a hand to his chest, gasping. “Ohmygod, but that’s sort
of beautiful.” He looks up at Niall with shining eyes.
Niall faces him and stares, eyebrows nearly lost in his hairline. “Beautiful? Are you being serious?
Tommo, is that you? Are you drunk?” Niall asks, and walks up to Louis and inspects his face
suspiciously.
“I mean it, Nialler! If that’s what he really meant, that’s so sweet!”
“Not really. Still a bit fuckin’ creepy.”
“Creepy, yes, but much less so than when I thought he was just after my perfect body. He was just
being polite,” Louis exclaims with sentiment, smacking Niall on the arm with enthusiasm.
“Awwww, you lads and your posh manners. You’re a bunch of nutters, but I think you’re
growing on me.”
Niall shakes his head and laughs, pulling Louis off of the chair and into a standing position.
“Funny that it took a sexual proposition for you to see that and not, say, us being mates. But I
don’t look a gift horse in the fuckin’ mouth. So. Let’s play FIFA.”
“Then dinner? My choice?” Louis asks, raising an eyebrow.
“Your choice,” Niall agrees, then hops over the back of the couch and settles himself on it, Louis
following with a pleased grin.
Chapter End Notes
Okkaaaay. So. I'm warning you now, I am going to do terrible things to Harry's
character before he gets better. I feel guilty because the real Harry is literal sunshine
and flowers, but I'm having fun warping him in this story. SO. Just so you're warned,
he's going to be a HOT MESS in the next chapter.
His song is "Hook & Line" by the Kills. Hands down. To get a vibe of who this
Harry Styles is in this story, listen to that song yo. And, just for the record, "This
Boy" by Franz Ferdinand is Niall's. That sums him up as well. :)
Thanks for reading, you're all perfect!
