He and Niall greet their mates as they get into the house
that's rather full. The kitchen is crammed, and they right
away press through toward the kitchen table where
people have dared to leave their alcohol. Niall snatches
a bottle of vodka, finding plastic shot glasses
somewhere and pours them one each. a

"Another?"
They finally make their way into the living room a!er
two more shots, and Louis spots Stan and Oli on the
couch. They're smoking and Louis makes room for
himself between them, joining their loud chatter. The
music is blasting loudly through the room, furniture
having been ruthlessly pushed to the walls to make
room for dancing, and Louis can spot several pairs
getting slightly indecent. He's pretty sure Niall is part of
one of the couples. He's already pulling, and Louis can
hardly deny that his best mate's got game. a

"Liam!" Louis yells when he sees the lad coming into the
room. He's looking good in a white, tight t-shirt that
does well to his broad shoulders and chest, and his light
jeans make his waist look incredible. It's strange,
because Louis hasn't ever found him very attractive.
Maybe he's a little drunk, though. a

"What?"
"Curly's friend." a

"I'm Zayn." a

"Yeah."
"... I guess."
"Somewhere. Down."
"Who?"
"Liiima. Liams."
"Payne?" a

"Mm-hm."
"No."
"Why?"
"Did you want to see me?" Louis asks, eyeing the other
lad as he puts a leg over the edge, climbing into the tub.
He doesn't answer, only settles back, knees pulled up
on either side of Louis' legs.
"Cool."
"Yours?"
"Are you drunk?" Harry asks, voice low, eyes not looking
up.
"Eleven fi!y-six." a

"Eleven fi!y-nine."
"Time is it?"
They part with a little breath each, and Louis leans back,
sitting on Harry's thighs where he's straddling him. He
reaches out, strokes a bit of saliva o" Harry's lower lip
with his thumb before he gets up and out of the tub,
unsteady on his feet as he leaves the bathroom.

Louis doesn't hear from Harry for the rest of the break
a!er New Years Eve. He le! the party a couple of hours
later, Niall finding him somewhere in the living room. He
didn't see Harry for the rest of the party either, figuring
the other boy stayed upstairs or went back to wherever
he was before he appeared in the bathroom.
Louis spends the last week o" mostly resting up, playing
FIFA at Niall's and seeing Liam a couple of times. He
goes on a few jogs, but tries not to think too much about
his usual work out schedule. He also actually starts
teaching Lottie how to drive. The first two lessons they
do nothing but sit in an abandoned parking lot, trying to
get Lottie to actually get the car moving. It happens, if
quite jerkily, but results in an engine breakdown when
she loses the clutch. It's kind of hilarious and they end
up laughing more than anything, even if Lottie finds it
frustrating.
"Nobody's gonna see us, Lou. Chill out a bit, it's fine."
"No –"
"Sorry!"
"What?!"
"Niall!"
"I swear to god, if you don't stop the car we're going to
die." Louis grips the seat in painful grasps.
"Nothing happened."
"Stop the car!" Louis yells, and then finally, finally, Lottie
stomps on the break.
"Woah!"
"Uugh!"
Louis leans over, turning the car o" completely. "If you
two fight in the car one more time I'm not going to drive
with you, Lottie, ever again. I'm not willing to risk my
life."
"You're fi!een!"
Silence.
**
There's only one day le! of break. Louis hasn't hung out
with Niall since the incident with Lottie, who for the
record is constantly texting Martin. Her face lights up
every time her phone chirps, and Louis finds himself
glancing at his own phone that stays perfectly silent.
