On Friday, the day of the party, the whole school was talking about it. The conversations ranged from how they were getting there and what they were all wearing. Louis had a rough idea as to what he would be wearing. He had come to the conclusion rather quickly that he was quite fond of Harry and wanted to impress him. Little did he know, Harry too was quite fond of the small boy himself.

The day dragged for everyone as they watched the clock to see how long was left before the weekend. Everyone was quick to leave the classroom when the day had finished and all rushed home to get ready.

"Hiya Lou." Harry said as he met the smaller boy at the door.

"Hi haz." Louis smiled.

The two got into Harry's car and headed towards Louis' house, chatting along the way.

"I'll pick you up at 8, Zayn's house is a while away." Harry told him as he walked him to his door.

"Okay thank you, bye bye Haz." Louis waved as he closed the door.

———————————

8pm came and Louis waited in his room until he heard the doorbell. His small body was wrapped in a black velvet dress that stopped just above the knee, his feet covered by black heels and his shoulder wore a gold bag with a chain.

Louis unlocked the door and smiled widely at the taller boy in front of him. Harry stared down at the petite boy in awe.

"Do I look okay Haz?" Louis asked.

"Y-you look amazing." Harry stuttered.

"Thank you. Let's go, well be late." Louis grabbed Harry's hand and lead him out the house. He locked the door and then followed Harry to his car.

They got into the car and set off to Zayn's house.

"Can you put the radio on?" Louis asked.

"Of course, love." Harry said and turned on the radio. Ariana Grande was on and Louis immediately started singing.

As Louis softly sang along to No Tears Left to Cry, Harry listened intently to how on key the small boy was.

In just under half an hour, they had arrived at Zayn's. Harry parked the car in his garage and the two boys headed towards the loud music. As soon as they stepped foot in the house, the smell of alcohol and sweat hit them. Louis grimaced at the smell.

Harry gently took Louis' hand and lead him to the back garden where he knew Zayn and the others would be.

"Hi Lou, I love your dress." Gigi exclaimed as she ran to hug him.

"Come and sit down, it's too loud in there." Niall said and gestured to the tan couch that was placed outside.

There was a lot of room on the large couch but Louis insisted on sitting right next to Harry and he didn't mind one bit.

As the night progressed, people became more drunk and the warm summer night grew milder. The group of friends laughed and shared stories with Louis. His laugh rang through Harry's ears as though it was music.

"Hazzy." Louis nudged him out of his thoughts.

"Yeah, my love." Louis blushed at the name again.

"Will you come with me to the toilet?" Louis whispered.

Harry nodded and followed Louis upstairs to the toilet. He waited outside for Louis and watched as the drunks stumbled passed him. One girl in particular was very drunk.

"Hi Harry." She slurred.

"Hi." He replied flatly, he didn't remember the girls name.

"Wanna come downstairs with me? I've lost my boyfriend but you'll do." She suggested.

"No I'm fine, I'm waiting for someone." Harry told her.

"Well we'll do it here then." She said and threw herself on him.

She attached her lips to his neck just as the toilet door opened. Harry heard a gasp and his head snapped towards a small Louis who was unsure of what was happening. Harry threw the girl off him and went after Louis who was now quickly making his way back downstairs.

"Louis!" He called.

He followed the petite boy back outside to the garden and pushed his way through the sea of people more forcefully that usual.

"Louis!" He called again.

This time the small boy turned round. He was stood in the grass in his little black dress with tears threatening to fall from his eyes any second.

"What is it Harry?" Louis' voice cracked slightly.

"Come here," Harry beckoned him over to a set of chairs not far from Zayn and the rest of the group who stayed as they were the whole night.

Harry sat on one of the wooden chairs and pulled Louis onto his lap.

"Why was she kissing you?" Louis asked quietly.

"She was drunk, Lou." Harry explained.

"Why didn't you push her off?"

"She started kissing my neck just as you came out the toilet." Harry told the boy.

Louis stayed quiet.

"Why are you crying?" Harry's heart broke when he heard the hiccuping from Louis.

"I thought t-that you liked her and y-you were going to k-kiss her back." Louis said.

"No love, I don't like her." Harry told him.

"Do you like anyone?" Louis asked, his head still down.

Harry lifted Louis' face up by his chin, wiped his tears away and gently placed his lips onto his. Louis placed his hands gently onto either side of the taller boy's face as they kissed. When they pulled away, they heard clapping.

"About time." They heard Niall call over.

Louis blushed and Harry flipped them all off but laughed anyway.

"Why'd you do that?" Louis asked, biting his lip.

"I like you, Lou." Harry smiled at him.

Louis smiled widely up at him but then yawned. The petite boy wrapped his arms around Harry's torso and snuggled his head into his chest.

"You tired, my love?" Harry asked the sleepy boy quietly.

"Stop calling me that." Louis giggled.

"Why?"

"I get a fuzzy feeling when you do." Louis giggled again.

"That's all the more reason to do it then, my love." Harry smiled.

"I'm tired." The small boy told him.

"We can go back to mine again, yeah?" Harry suggested.

Louis nodded and climbed off the tall boy's lap.

"Run over and tell the rest we're leaving then." Harry told him and he watched as Louis eagerly walked over to the group.

They all hugged and said goodbye and Harry waved over to them and lead Louis through the front and into the garage to get his car. Louis had already confirmed with his mum that he would be going to Harry's house so that's where they headed.

Once he parked his car, Harry glanced over to the sleeping boy in the passenger side. He got out his side and made his way round to the passenger side and carefully took Louis inside. Gemma sat in at the breakfast bar eating and smiled at them but didn't say anything.

Harry made his way upstairs to his room and carefully placed the sleeping boy on his bed. He gently shook him to wake him up.

"Lou, you need to change out your dress, I'll get you clothes." Harry told him.

Louis nodded and moved slowly so he was sitting at the edge of the bed, his small legs dangling. Harry returned moments later with a pair of sweatpants and a baggy t-shirt.

"Please could you get the zip?" Louis asked quietly.

Hardy nodded and carefully pulled the zip down on the dress before turning round so he could get privacy.

"All done." Louis said.

"I'll be with you in a second Lou." Harry told him.

Louis nodded and covered himself with the duvet.

Harry went to his desk and picked up his notebook and a random pen and jotted down three words:
