Harry ran down the wet sidewalk, his once white shoes now gray and brown from the mud and rain. The water had soaked through, his shoes making a squishy sound everytime he took a step.

He jogged up to the Tomlinsons house. Their mothers had beed childhood best friends, and had remained best friends for their lives, now their sons were best friends as well.

He opened the door, not bothering to knock and peeled his shoes off.

"Hazza!"

"Sunshine!"

They ran into eachothers arms, falling over but still hugging. Their mums fonded at them while they clung onto eachother

"You guys saw eachother yesterday" Lottie groaned

They stood up and Louis left a wet kiss on Harry's cheek, Lottie just smirked

"Well that's one night too long without seeing him" Louis pouted, still hugging Harry

"Come on, let's go to my room" Louis smiled. They ran up to his room and sat on his bed

"Okay, we need to pick what were wearing tonight!" Louis said excitedly

Harry smiled as Louis rummaged through his closet

"You'd look cute in this" he said, tossing him a jumper and jeans

"Would I?" Harry smiled

"I mean, you always look cute" Louis blushed

Harry grinned and layed back on the bed. Louis giggled and collapsed ontop of him, cuddling in

"We haven't cuddled in so long" Louis said muffled into Harry's neck

"We cuddled all day yesterday boo, remember? Your mum had to pry us apart" Harry said, burying his face into Louis hair

He mumbled something incoherent and Harry laughed, leaving a kiss on the top of his head. They layed there in silence for a while, Louis laying comfortable ontop of Harry

"Love you" Louis mumbled

"Love you too" Harry replied, tangling his hand into Louis hair. He felt him smile into his shoulder and cuddle in closer.

Harry slowly moved his hand, playing with Louis' hair and massaging his head

Harry heard soft snores and deep even breaths form Louis.

"Bebs?"

Louis had fallen asleep on him. Harry placed several soft kisses onto Louis cheeks, waking him up with a smile on his face

"Mmmhhhphh" he groan-whined, stretching

Harry kept on kissing all over his warm smiling face until he started giggling

"Hazza stop! That tickles" He giggled

Harry left a final kiss on the tip of his nose and Louis immediately frowned

"What's the matter Lou?"

"I didn't mean actually stop" he pouted

"Awe baby" Harry pouted, giving him a kiss on each cheek, on the forehead and on the nose. Louis leaned forward and hovered above his face.

They made eye contact and their breaths hitched. Louis smiled and tucked himself back into the crook of Harry's neck

"As much as I want to keep cuddling with you all day, we have to get ready" Harry said

Louis groaned and sat up. Harry sat up too, but was immediately pushed back down by Louis.

Harry was impressed with the strength of which he did it, and slightly.....turned on?

Louis moved to straddle Harry's waist, making Harry blush. The sweatpants Louis were wearing, riding dangerously low on his vline, making a strip of tanned skin visible.

Harry placed his hands on the exposed skin

"Hi" he said softly

"Hi" Louis replied, suddenly very shy

Harry made a kissy face to distract Louis from snaking his fingers under the hem of his shirt, but of course Louis noticed.

Blushing, Louis leaned down, placing his lips on Harry's cheek. He stayed there for a moment, lips still attached in silence.

He pulled back with a satisfying pop sound and wiped the spot off with his thumb

"Don't wipe away your kisses" Harry frowned

He turned his head, beckoning Louis to kiss him again. He leaned down quickly to kiss his cheek again.

They got up and started to look around for clothes to wear again

"Put this on" Louis said

Harry took the hoodie from Louis and pulled off his shirt. Louis sat down infront of him and watched as he slid the sweatshirt on

"You're really beautiful Harry" Louis said, absentmindedly biting his lip

"Me? Look at you" he replied. Louis just shook his head

"Why are you shaking your head? You're gorgeous sunshine" Harry said, taking Louis small head into his hands

"I look okay, but you. You" he whispered in awe

"You're eyes are perfect, you're perfect" Louis smiled, resting their foreheads together

"You're perfect-er" Harry giggled

"You're perfect-est and I love you" Louis laughed

"I love you too, now let's go downstairs" Harry replied

They took eachothers hand and trotted down the stairs.

"Okay, Niall is already here, Zayn, Liam, Nick and Ed are coming at 8" Louis mum said.

They said hi to Niall and sat down on the couch, Harry immediately laying his head on Louis lap

"You guys cuddle alot" Niall smiled

"Mhm" Louis hummed, leaning down to kiss Harry's forehead

Niall grinned

"What?" Louis laughed

"Nothin"

"Whaaaat?!" Louis asked

"It's just that you guys are cute together, that's all" Niall replied

"We know" Louis said sassily

Harry moved up to lay on Louis' chest. They stayed in that position for a few hours, Harry laying his head on Louis' chest and Louis scrolling through his phone, his lips lingering over Harry's temple, kissing him occasionally.

The doorbell rang and the lads came pouring in

"Happy New Year! Vas happenin?" Zayn announced, plopping down onto the couch across from the cuddling boys

"Zaynieeee" Niall squealed, hugging him

"Hey lads" Louis laughed

"Hey Lou, hey Harry" Liam said

"H is sleeping" Louis said, running his hand through his hair and pressing a short tender kiss onto the side of his eyebrow

"Awe, are you guys finally together?" Liam fonded

"W-what? No? What do you mean?" Louis stuttered

"You mean, you're not dating?" Zayn asked

"Uhm, no?' Louis said, trying to sound convincing, but he didn't even convince himself

"On a completely different note, who are you gonna kiss at midnight?" Niall smirked

"I don't know, Gemmas looking prett-" Liam started

"Don't think about it Liam" Harry groaned, cutting him off. His eyes were still closed and he rubbed them sleepily

"Did you not have a good sleep last night love?" Louis frowned

Harry shook his head adorably

"I wanted cuddles" he said quietly, only loud enough for Louis to hear

"I'm gonna let you in on a little secret. I couldn't sleep either because I missed you too much" Louis whispered into his ear

"Are you guys done whispering kinky shit into eachothers ear" Niall boomed laughing

"Niall" they said in unison

"Boys can you help me put out the food?" Harrys mum said.

They stood up and walked into the kitchen. Zayn, Niall, Liam, Gemma and Lottie all sat on the couch.

"Ok, just put these on the table" she said, handing each boy a plate of snacks. They did what they were told, then were ushered out of the kitchen. About 10 minutes later Ed and Nick came

"Get the fuck off eachother and stop acting gay" Nick spat as soon as he stepped into their house

"Excuse me Nick?" Anne asked

"You're letting your son act gay" he replied

"I don't care if he acts gay or if he is gay" she said

"Nick, why would you say something like that?" Ed said, his eyes wide

"Its gross, their kissing and hugging and it just makes me uncomfortable" he said

"Well if it makes you uncomfortable then maybe you should get the fuck out of my house" Lottie said, showing him the door

"Gladly, I don't even like you losers anyway" he said with a smirk

Harry had let go of Louis' hand and was just standing there, his arms wrapped around himself

"Hey, don't listen to him" Louis said, going up behind him and giving him a hug

A few more hours passed and it was 11:00. Everyone was dancing and eating and having a great time.

A slow song came on and the boys sat down, tired from dancing. Louis and Harry stayed standing up

"Wanna dance?" Louis asked shyly

"Of course" he replied

Louis wrapped his arms around Harry's thin waist and nestled his head into his chest. He closed his eyes and they swayed back and forth, Niall taking pictures unknowingly to them.

Louis started humming the lyrics to the song playing, which made Harry hum too.

"Awwwww" Niall cooed, snapping another picture

"30 minutes to midnight boys!" Zayn sung, coming into the sitting room with a shrimp in his mouth, doing spin

"Kiss" Louis said quietly, looking up at Harry. Harry lightly kissed Louis' nose, satisfying him for the next minute. He tucked his head back into Harry's shoulder and collar bone.

They played board games and talked for about 25 minutes until the mums called them all to the couch to watch the countdown.

The mums sat in chairs on either side of the couch. Ed, Liam, Niall, Zayn and Louis sat on the couch, while Harry sat on the floor infront of Louis, inbetween his legs. Gemma and Lottie sat together on the love seat on the side of the room, gossiping about some sort of girl drama.

"4 minutes until the New Years! Do you have any resolutions?" Jay asked

"For everyone to be healthy and safe" Gemma replied

"That's boring Gems" Harry laughed

"What about you H, do you have any resolutions?" Jay laughed

"Hmmm, probably just to stay close with Louis forever" he blushed

"Awe H, that's mine too" Louis smiled, patting his head

They went around the group saying their goals. Lottie, Gemma, Harry and Louis were bored out of their minds as their mums kept going on and on, but finally it was one minute to midnight

They started counting down, watching the bright colors on the TV.

Louis got butterflies for some reason, realizing he can't turn back time and that in 10 seconds it would be a whole new year, or that's what he told himself. He surprised everyone, including himself with what he did next.

"Ten, nine, eight, seven" the mums counted down

Louis lightly grabbed Harry's jaw with both hands, leaning his head back so it was resting ontop of Louis' thighs

"Six, five, four, three" they said enthusiastically

Louis leaned down and connected their lips softly and suddenly, without thinking twice

"Two, one!"

Harry linked one arm around Louis shin, the other he bought up to the back of Louis' neck, deepening the kiss

Everyone cheered, realizing what the boys were doing right beside them

"I KNEW IT!" Niall shouted, snapping a picture

The mums were fonding, tears in their eyes.

The boys who were kissing upside down, pulled back. Their cheeks red and big smiles enveloping their flushed faces.

Anne softly touched the others shoulders, quietly beckoning them out of the room to give Harry and Louis some privacy. The guests went into their bedrooms.

Harry stayed leaned back, Louis' thighs perfectly cradling his head.

They stared into eachothers eyes, mesmerized by the others deep breaths. They stayed there, without a word in the dark. The only source of light was the faint orange glow of the kitchen. The light shining on their faces at the perfect angle.

Harry pulled slightly on the back of Louis' neck, making him lean forward again. They hovered overtop of eachothers lips, their warm breaths being felt on their faces, slowly connecting their lips again.

Louis slowly and sensually slipped his tounge into Harry's mouth. Harry reciprocated by taking Louis' tounge between his lips, sucking slightly and rubbing his tounge overtop Louis'.

They slowly pulled back for the second time, saliva covering their pink lips.

Both boys were speechless, a unholy amount of butterflies running rampid through their body, but they kept their cool.

"Louis, I don't want to be your friend anymore" Harry whispered while curling a peice of Louis' hair in his finger

"No, please. I need you. I'm sorry I did that-"

"Because I want to be more to you" Harry said shyly

Al of Louis nerves left, all he felt was happiness

"I want that too" he whispered. Both boys smiled and connected their lips once more.
