you're cold and I burn (on hold)

“You got that from nervous jitters?” Louis questions, the doubt strong in his tone, “Harry doesn’t
come off as submissive to me, especially not when looking at just the nervous ticks.”
“I’m not taking into account the nervous ticks. I’m taking into account the obvious sexual tension
between you two, <strong>and</strong> how he responds to it,” Zayn shrugs.
“Sexual tension? What sexual tension?”
“If you don’t feel that, then you might be completely numb, but I’m not. I think it’s clear as day
that Harry has a sexual attraction to you, <strong>and</strong> he puts off a submissive approach to it.”
Louis runs his h<strong>and</strong> over his face, trying to ignore the way his face feels hot <strong>and</strong> his body is
<strong>burn</strong>ing but it’s <strong>cold</strong> outside, “You think that’s why he got upset when I said he was beautiful,
because that submissive -whatever you said- trait is something he wants hidden? I don’t think
being beautiful equates to being a sub.”
“No, I think there’s something going on there. Maybe the reason why he doesn’t want to portray
that part of him, makes me lean into the whole ‘he’s embarrassed’ by it thing, you know?” Zayn
takes his bottom lip between his teeth, “He’s hard to read when it comes to that aspect, I’m not
sure what his complex is with that kind of compliment.”
“I don’t know, I- I just don’t know.”
“Listen, if you want to see for yourself, my advice is to step closer to him <strong>and</strong> I bet his body will
soften, it’s a way of silently allowing you to overpower him despite the size difference, when you
kiss him, you’re going to be the one in control, I’ll bet my life on it.”
“Why do you say ‘when’ like its inevitable?” Louis crosses his arms over his chest, squinting his
eyes as Liam’s headlights pull in front of them so that Zayn can hop in.
Zayn walks over to the passenger door, pausing briefly to look back at Louis, “You’re forgetting
that I can read you, too.” He winks, before disappearing into the car. Louis reverts back to being
ten years old <strong>and</strong> rolls his eyes at Liam, turning to walk away without a word to him, he’s still
annoyed.
Even after the car is gone, Louis st<strong>and</strong>s there still trying to take in all the information Zayn has
given him. He just wanted to know what the hell goes on inside of Harry’s complicated head, but
instead he got intel on Harry’s sexual preference along with the fact that there is a tension between
them, one that’s apparently pretty obvious. He’s not going to pretend like it’s not extremely
fucking hot to know this about his new roommate, <strong>and</strong> if Harry’s feeling an attraction to Louis, he
wants to experiment with that. So, he’s going to.
Suddenly, having a roommate sounds a lot more appealing.
