10 years ago
Five year old Harry Styles couldnt stop smiling as he stared at his nails. He made a good choice with the color. The light pink color went really well with his skin completion not to mention that it was a really pretty color. He was happy that Gemma was able to paint his nails for him as well as add a cute little heart design on them. Harry continue to stare at his nails he didn't realize someone was walking up to him.
Seven year old Louis Tomlinson stared at the small kid who was always painting his nails and wearing flower crowns. Sure the kid was weird but he was nice as well. The young boy was always sharing his cookies with everyone, he was always making sure that everyone was happy and even those that bullied him he was always nice to them. It made Louis a little mad that Harry never stood up for himself but that's one thing that Louis loved as well cause he was there to protect his princess.
Sensing that someone was watching him Harry lifted his head and couldn't help but smile as he saw his best friend.
"Louis,"
He got up and ran up to the older boy. Louis smiled as Harry threw himself at Louis and wrapped his arms around Louis's waist. Louis smiled as he wrapped his arms around his friend. Louis was two years older then Harry and he was always off early then the younger kids so he was always there to pick up Harry and making sure that he got safe to the car pool.
"Hey princess ready to go?"
Harry giggled as he nodded his as he released Louis and grabbed his hand and started pulling him towards the pick up line.
Louis just smiled as his princess pulled and started babbling about his day and how Gemma painted his nails a pretty color that looks really nice on him and how it matches his flower crown.
Louis just smiled as he listen or "listen" to Harry. Louis would never admit it to the cute little curly hair lad but he had it bad for him. How could he not?
From his cute dimples to his innocent nature it made Louis protective of the younger lad. Not to mention that Louis just wanted the younger boy to himself. Yes he was a jealous little boy but he didn't care. If it meant he got to keep Harry to himself then he was glad to be jealous.
"Right Louis?"
Louis blinked and looked at the shorter lad.
"I'm sorry baby boy what did you say?"
Harry giggled.
"I said that you like my flower crowns right?"
Louis just smiled.
"Of course princess,"
Harry beamed at him as he continue to walk with Louis to the car pool.
Once they reached their destination the two waited for their mothers to arrive to pick them up.
Harry was babbling about everything and nothing while Louis just stood there admiring the beautiful boy in front of him.
Once their mothers arrived the two hugged one another while Louis peck Harry's forehead and said good bye. Louis just waved good bye as his princess drove off home.
10 years later
15-year old Harry lean against a tree as he read his favorite novel as he waited for his friends.
"Hey princess,"
Harry lifted his head and smiled as he saw Louis jogging up to him along with their other friends. Over the years puberty has hit Louis well. His body got tone not to mention he also not a nice round butt.
Not only did he look gorgeous but he was also among the popular crowd. He became caption of the footie team and every girl and guy wanted him. The years have been good to Louis sadly that couldnt be said for Harry. The only thing that changed about Harry was his hair got a little longer.
Harry smiled as Louis and their friends walked up to him. Zayn and Niall were also friends of Louis and Harry along with Zayn and Niall's boyfriend and girlfriend. Liam Payne was a adorble boy with big brown eyes and curly hair. Meanwhile Aurora was a gorgues girl with a tone skin color and beautiful hair. The four of them had this crazy idea that Louis was into him but Harry knew he wasn't. Louis was gorgeous. He could have anyone he wanted so why would he chose Harry?
Once Louis reached him he gave him a peck on the forehead as he sat down next to him.
"Watch a reading love?"
Harry shyly picked up his book and showed his friends what he was currently reading. Louis laugh and shook his head.
"Really babe? You've read that book so many times I'm pretty sure you know it inside and out."
Harry blushed as he his his face in the pages of the book ignoring the laughter going around him.
Louis just smirked as he pulled the boy closer to him.
"So Har-bear wanna hang with me and Liam today since our lovely boys are gonna be at practice?" Aurora asked.
Harry lifted his head and met Aurora's hazel eyes.
"Not today Ora, Nick and I are going to the movies,"
As soon as the name left his lips their little circle became silent. Everyone (everyone but Harry) knew Louis and Nick did not like one another. The main reason was the cute little curly lad that was currently curled up against Louis.
"Why are you and Nick hanging out?" Louis asked trying hard not to get mad. Whenever Nick's name was mention both he and Harry would argue with one another and the end results would be an upset Harry and a pissed off Louis.
Harry took a deep calming breath knowing that Louis and Nick didn't get along he never understood why. The two were nice guys and if they would stop whatever the reason why they hate each other then they would see that the two have more in common then they possibly thought.
"Because he's my friend Louis,"
"Aren't I your friend?" Louis asked. More like pouted.
Harry just smiled and peck his cheek.
"Of course you are Boo bear."
Everyone laughs at the nickname while Louis just blush and tried hard not to slap his friends.
Once the laughter died the six friends went back to talking and making plans once the bell rang the six went their separate ways. Aurora, Liam and Harry went to one class while Louis, Niall, and Zayn went another.
"Mate you need to tell him how you feel," Zayn said as he and the other two headed to gym.
Louis looked at him.
"Oh come on Louis the whole school knows that you love the kid. Always protecting him, getting jealous whenever Nick or someone else flirts with him,"
Louis shook his head.
"Okay we know that I like him but I highly doubt he feels the same way,"
Niall scoff beside them.
"That's complete rubbish Louis remember Eleanor and how jealous he was of her?"
Louis laughed at that he remembered Eleanor alright. Best laid he ever had but it also show Harry's jealous side which if Louis was being honest it was kinda hot.
"Oh yeah I remember Eleanor," he said with a smirk. Zayn and Niall just shook their heads as they reached their class.
"I'm just saying you two need to stop acting like you don't like each other and admit that you do." Zayn said as he started to take off his shirt in favor for his gym shirt.
"I don't know guys what if he doesn't like me that way? What if everything your saying is just you guys reading to much into it? What if he doesn't feel the same way as I do?"
Niall and Zayn shared a look unsure how to answered that.
"Yeah that's what I thought, look I love Harry but I don't want to lose him as cliche as this is gonna sound I rather have him as a friend,"
"A friend who'll be okay with him dating other people?" Niall asked.
Louis's body froze at the mention of the curly hair lad dating other people. If Louis was being honest with himself the thought of someone else touching Harry, kissing him, call him theirs, made him sick to his stomach. Harry's never dated hell he's never had his first kiss the boy was as innocent as they came and Louis would be damn if someone stole that away from him.
