Chapter twenty-nine :)

After Niall hung up Harry decided to go and visit Louis at work it was already past 5 and he wasn't sure if Louis had eaten lunch by now so he drove over to Lee's first to get some Pizza. They should definitely stop buying take-outs every day it's getting unhealthy.

Anyways, he bought two grande cheese pizzas with some ranch because Louis liked to dip his slides in it for some reason. Harry thought it's disgusting but if Louis likes it Louis gets it. And last but not least two bottles of ice tea. The warm cheesy smell of the pizza made Harry's belly growl even more.

The traffic light switched from red to green and Harry slowly pushed down the gas pedal. Niall had given him the address to the kindergarten Louis worked, well actually he didn't need the address there were only two near where they lived and one was currently closed. The one where Louis worked was about ten minutes away from Harry's location.

The sun was pretty low already and shined exactly into Harry's eyes, he hated driving around this time he always was afraid that he would crash his car because the sun was blinding him badly.

The thought of Louis playing with children distracted him from cursing the sun. Harry caught himself smiling so wide it hurt, he cleared his throat and turned the radio on, perfect timing. The song Mr Brightside started paying, it was one of Louis absolute favourites, he sang along noticing how boring it was to drive alone.

The song ended as Harry stopped the car right in front of the building. Some parents already picked up their children. Harry checked the time it was exactly 5.55 pm. So five minutes left until the kindergarten would close. He sat awkwardly in the car waiting but he is a very impatient person so he left the car and entered through the huge door.

The floor carried a smell of soap and baby shampoo it was exactly the same as when he went to kindergarten and it kind of made him feel like a child again. It was pretty loud too a lot of children were running around putting on their shoes, some others were playing soccer.

Two little girls looking like siblings. Long blonde hair and huge blue eyes, were laughing and running straight towards him. They were squeaking loudly as they came closer and hid behind his legs. Harry stopped walking as the first girl wrapped her arms around his left and the other around the right leg. It was a little confusing for him.

"Hey" He smiled wide down at the girl at his right "What are you doing?" Her big blue eyes sparkled and she showed her small white teeth in a smile. "Hiding from the monster dinosaur." They both started to giggle as Louis stepped around the corner.

"Alright girls the monster dinosaur has brake now and yo-" Louis stopped as he spotted Harry standing in the middle of the hallway with two girls clenching around his legs. "Haz, what are you doing here?" He smiled so wide his eyes almost disappeared.

"I wanted to pick you up but it looks like I'm getting kidnapped by these little girls." He scratched the back of his head as Louis laughed. "Lisa, Zoey let go of him" He reached his hands to each of them "Your mom will be here soon we have to put your shoes on." The girls let go of Harry's legs and took Louis' hands.

Lisa stretched her arms above her head to make Louis pick her up and within a few seconds, she sat on his hip.

The way he walked over to the bench Zoey at his left hand, carrying Lisa was the cutest thing Harry had ever seen. His heart skipped and the smile on his face started hurting by now but he couldn't stop. He watched Louis pick up the other girl as well to sit them down on the bench.

"And don't forget what I told you about too much chocolate." Louis smiled at Lisa as he tied her shoes. She just nodded pointing over to Harry. "Who is he?" She asked. Louis looked up from her shoe. The whole picture looked so adorable. Louis turned and gave Harry his sunshine smile.

He kneeled next to Louis looking into Zoey's small face and started to tie her shoes, she gave him a smile "This is Harry." Harry watched the girls eyes grow "The guy you l-" they squeaked at the same time but Louis cut them off by tingling them until they couldn't breathe. "You two are unbelievable." Harry just watched the way Louis treated those two girls and how well they get on with each other. It warmed his heart.

"Okey now go to Maya until your mom is here." He gave them a last smile before the two girls walked down the corridor hand in hand. "They are cute." Harry smiled down at Louis who still kneeled on the floor, bursting into chuckles. "Yes, they are. They like you."

After Louis got his jacked and keys they went to the office to tell Maya (who Harry learned is the boss) that Louis would leave now. He knocked at the door until a feminine voice said "Come in."

"Hi, Louis." Maya had dark brown hair that was put up into a big puffy bun, brown eyes and wore glasses. She looked about 28 to 30 years old, dressed like she was about to go to an important meeting after the conversation. Sort of strong business mom style. The room was quite messy the shelves were stuffed with papers and toys.

Then her eyes wandered over to Harry, she reached her hand over to greet him "Hello I'm Maya." She smiled.

Harry shook her hand and smiled at her back she seemed really nice "I'm Harry."

"Oh, finally I get to meet the boyfriend Louis won't stop talking about." Boyfriend? Did she say, boyfriend? The butterflies in Harry's belly got more and more and he couldn't hide his wide smile. "My pleasure." Harry watched Louis blush and get all awkward.

"Uhm, I just wanted to let you know that I'm leaving now."

"Alright, and thanks again for taking over Sissi's shift today."

"Anytime."

****

"Come on at least try it."

"No, it's disgusting"

"If you want another slice then you have to." Louis gave him a smile from the side. Because Harry was busy driving Louis reached him his slices so he could take a bite without letting go of the starring wheel. Harry rolled his eyes "Fine but not much."

Louis dipped the slice of cheese pizza into the bowl of ranch and reached it over so Harry could bite. It turned out to be better than Harry thought. It was actually fucking good. Harry was surprised and looked over to Louis who just nodded happy. "Right?"

"And I was right once again."

"Shut up and give me another bite," Harry ordered.

"Say, Louis, you were right. Again"

"You're such a child."

"Say it."

Harry sighed, no he had too much pride to admit that Louis was right. Again. But his belly growled really bad and he was so hungry for that piece of pizza. He clenched his jaw and said it as quiet as possible.

"What was that? I couldn't hear you." Louis sassed around.

"Give me a bite now for god's sake."

"Okay okay," Louis laughed and let Harry bite.

The streets were full so Louis suggested driving a different way along with the fields it was longer but there weren't as many cars and traffic lights so they could easily drive through. Louis had started a CD because he hated listening to the news on the radio, it was from a band that they had listened to a lot of times before. But Harry couldn't remember the whole name but he was sure it started with a C.

The sunset looked beautiful it made the sky go from red and orange over yellow to blue. The air conditioner blew warm air into Harry's face and the slow music made it even better. But there was this one thing that Maya said back at the kindergarten that Harry couldn't stop thinking about. "Boyfriend?" Shit that wasn't meant to come out loud.

"I didn't know if, you know, I wasn't sure if-"

"I like it" Harry cut him off and turned to face him. Louis had that adorable sunshine smile on his face. The butterflies in Harry's belly went all crazy and Harry realized how happy he was. He liked Louis. A lot. And nothing or no one could change that. Especially not his past. He never had something so special with someone like he had with Louis. He made Harry feel loved and realize that there were people you could trust your whole heart without overthinking it even one second.

****

Days passed. Christmas was already in two days, Harry and Louis were baking cookies for his sisters. For when he would go to celebrate with his family. It took four days and all of Niall's energy to make Louis say yes. And he only agreed if Harry would go with him. Harry knew that Louis hated spending his birthday at the house of his dad and his wife, but he did it for his sisters, they love him and he loved them.

He couldn't let them down they haven't seen him in a few months now. Louis had told him that they always ate together on Christmas eve and played board games. It was simple but cosy and one of the rare times the whole family would be together. Well, was.

At first, Harry was afraid that he would cross ways with Charly but then he heard Niall tell Louis that Charly would spend the holidays at his dad's house so He agreed on accompanying Louis. He was secretly excited to finally meet his siblings and in general spent time with him and his family.

"Haz watch out" Louis called behind him. Harry turned around reflexively feeling something soft hitting his face. He whipped it off of his face Louis dying of laughter next to him. "You didn't" Harry looked down on himself he was fully covered in flour. Louis choked out a "Yes I did" he laughed so hard his eyes teared up. The curse of it was that Harry couldn't be serious longer than a single minute before he burst out laughing too.

"You will get that back." And within seconds the whole flour pack was empty and Louis hair white. He looked up from the ground still laughing, he pulled Harry down to kiss him. His slight soft lips brushed Harry's full ones. Louis fingers tangled in Harry's hair. Louis' warm breath brushing his cheek as he pulled away and stared deep into his eyes.

It was like Louis would study every single feature of Harry's face. "God, you're so beautiful." He breathed. No one had told Harry that before really meaning it. The words made him feel a warmth spread in his chest area. He was just about to say something as his nose tingled and he had to sneeze. Louis chuckled "And cute."

"Ugh, god damn flour." Harry chuckled.
