falling in love with your best friend
[ a âdays gone byâ mixtape ]
Scowling, he stalks outside, letting the screen door bang shut behind him. Thor is sat calmly on the porch, which only serves to confirm Louisâ fear.
Golden boots hit the dirt, and Louis watches as Harry pulls off his helmet and shakes out his curls.
songs i canât listen to-neon trees
and itâs all because of you / iâve got a list of songs i canât listen to
and itâs all because weâre through / iâve got a list of songs i canât listen to
cynicism isnât wisdom, itâs a lazy way to say that youâve been burned / it seems if anything youâd be less certain after everything youâve ever learned
Heâd had four best friends, and now heâs got three, and heâs perfectly happy with that.Â
and they told you it was written in the stars / but youâve never had a chance to look that far
hello my old heart-the oh hellos
nothing lasts forever / some things arenât meant to be
but youâll never find the answers / until you set your old heart free
Louis links their fingers, squeezing once and ignoring the butterflies in his stomach. He feels 13 again, like a kid with a crush, finally holding the hand of the boy whoâs made the back of his knees sweaty for an entire summer.
change your mind-the killers
why arenât you shaking? / step back in time
graciously taking / oh youâre too kind
moving mountains-the brevet
open the doors, iâve been here once before / but i wasnât really sure what i was looking for
So Louis plans activities, because if heâs got a moment to relax heâll do something rash, like take his top off and take Harryâs top off and maybe sink his teeth into that slight pudge under Harryâs belly button.
take yours, iâll take mine-matthew mole
and if i throw away my fear and pride to set things right / then iâll find mine on the right of your side
water under the bridge-adele
have i ever asked for much? / the only thing i want is your love
The rain seems to die down before disappearing entirely. Louis refuses to acknowledge the metaphor.
feels like this could be forever right now / donât wanna sleep cuz weâre dreaming out loud
welcome to your life-grouplove
weâre back in business / youâre such a big mess
As if on cue, Harry appears in the doorway in all his naked and tattooed glory. He blinks slowly and grins when he realises whoâs in the kitchen with Louis.
âOh Jesus, Harry, put it away,â Niall groans. âNo one wants to see that.â
and no matter where we go / we always find our way back home
hold each other-a great big world
everything looks different now / all this time my head was down
he came along and showed me how to let go
