like a crow on a wire

when the air ran out and we both started running wild (nick/louis)

“so,” zayn says. “what’s up with you and grimmy?”

louis winces and winces harder when harry’s head whips around.

“what did you just say?”

“nick’s infatuated with louis, haven’t you noticed?”

“he’s not!” they say together, harry in amazement and louis in exasperation.

“i don’t know if that would work,” harry continues and niall sits down at his feet. frowning a little, harry plays with his hair. “he’s too tall for you.”

He can’t sort of stop thinking about him, which is a problem in and of itself. 

He thinks of kissing him, of being kissed, of falling asleep curled up next to him, and of waking up in Nick’s arms. 

He thinks about making tea together and arguing over who forgot to buy milk and what to watch on the telly. 

He doesn’t think about having sex with him - he barely ever thinks about sex at all, and when he does, it’s a rare surprise - but he dreams of text messages that say, we can still be friends and i’m sorry for freaking out, even though he’s not stupid enough to think Nick will ever want him back now that he knows. 

- Nick wakes up ridiculously early to go to his show and usually Louis would sleep right through, but this morning it’s cold and Louis misses his boyfriend.

So Louis slips out of bed, half comatose, sweater paws hanging over his hands, eyes squinted and lips slack from sleep.

He wraps his arms around Nicks from behind when Nick’s making coffee, rests his forehead against Nick’s back and slides his hands under Nick’s shirt and slides over the soft skin.

Nick offers to make Louis some tea but Louis’ so knackered because it’s fucking ridiculous o clock in the morning that he’d probably drop it everywhere.

Louis hasn’t seen Nick since he abruptly left his work experience job at Radio 1, but the moment he runs into Nick at a restaurant in London, he finds himself pulled back into Nick’s world—the world he once desperately wanted to be a part of.
