Harry cuts Liam off, âNo, no. Itâs fine. Iâll go deal with this.â He huffs out a long sigh as he walks towards the sliding glass door. Louis hunches over the railing, staring off into the distance as he rolls his cigarette back and forth between his fingers. Harry pauses with one hand on the door handle, looks down and takes one deep breath in before sliding it open. Louis looks casually over his shoulder then drops his head, shaking it when he sees itâs Harry who is stepping outside.
âItâs a free country, as they say,â Louis shrugs. âCanât stop you, mate,â He takes a long drag and blows it off into the distance, not making any effort for further conversation.
âYeah, butââ Harry steps cautiously, âIs this okay?â
âItâs whatever. Come out if youâre coming out, then.â Harry chuckles to himself. âWhat? What did I say?â
âNothing,â Harry waves it off. âItâs just-Yâknow, âcome out, if youâre coming outâ.â He shrugs with an awkward, lopsided grin.
âOh, fucking hell, Harry.â Louis shakes his head as he flicks his cigarette. âYouâre ridiculous.â
âWhat?â Harry holds his hands up. âSâkinda funny!â He argues. Louis rolls his eyes.
Louis holds out his pack of cigarettes to offer one. Harry looks at him, confused.
âYeah, but you said âjoin meâ, so I didnât know if thatâs what you meant, or--â
âNo! I just meant join you outside, you wanker.â
âWell, I donât know? Maybe you like to smoke these days. Iâm certainly not one to judge. Whatcha out here for, then?â Louis asks, growing impatient.
âI just â I- I just wanted to talk? Clear the air. I dunno. Youâve got your head up your arse about something with me and I donât know what it is I did, but somethingâs wrong.â
âNothingâs wrong, Haz,â Louis insists.
âYouâre a shit liar.â
âWhatâs up your arse then?â
âOh, youâve just been keen on pointing out my whereabouts last night, is all. With a right surly attitude about it, too.â
âOh no? Then what was that crack then? Do you have an issue with me going out?â
âNo,â Harry crosses his arms in front of him, shaking his head. âWhy would I? Weâre mates. Go out, live your life. Moving forward, right? Thatâs what this is, yeah?â
âYup,â Louis responds, tight-lipped. âMates, moving forward.â
âSo then why are you acting so distant, treating me like a stranger? âOoh, maybe you like to smoke these daysâ,â He mocks in Louisâ thick Doncaster brogue. âCome on, Lou, when have I ever smoked? Like ever? Donât be a dickhead.â
âYeah, well, proper mates donât lie to each other for four years, do they?â
âLou,â Harry drops his shoulders. âI wasnât lying to you.â
âWell, you werenât telling me the truth, either, were you?â Harry stares at Louis, mouth agape. âForget it. Iâm not getting into this with you here.â He turns away and leans his elbows on the railing, looking out into the distance.
âSeriously?â Harry throws his hands up. âYou throw that out there, then say youâre not getting into it. What the fuck, Lou! Make up your bloody mind. Ughhh!â Harry huffs, turning his back in the opposite direction. He turns around abruptly. âFine, then. What do you want to get into? Want to just have a chat like mates do, since weâre moving forward and all, yeah? How about that? So, bro⌠Get any good action last night?â
âOh, come off it,â Louis scoffs and spins around to face Harry.
âNo,â Harry persists, stepping closer. âWeâre broâs. We can do this. Come on. Letâs hear it. Didja get some nice pussy? Mouthful of some good dick? What?â He says with a smug grin.
âWeâre not talking about this,â Louis scowls.
âOooh, that good, huh?â
âNo. It wasnât actually,â Louis answers honestly before he can stop himself. Harryâs eyes turn to stone at Louisâ slip-up, the shock from hearing this truth revealed turning to visible rage and Louis does his best to dig himself out of this. âYou know what, no. Weâre not doing this. Iâm not doing this with you!â
âWill it help if I go first? Tell you about the last time I got some great dick?â Harry manhandles himself as he snarls, âHmm? Iâll give you a hint, it wasnât you.â
