You were university for me

Louis had been a new person ever since Eleanor had broken up with him. He had spoiled Harry every time they had been together and had also brought him little gifts and sent him little notes.

Harry was on cloud nine.

They still hadn't told any of their friends that they were together and it started to bug Harry. He didn't want to pressure Louis into doing something that he wasn't feeling comfortable with but it still seemed as if Louis was ashamed of him. Deep down, Harry knew that he wasn't the problem, but his heart had a hard time accepting that.

"We haven't gone out with the guys in a while, that would be fun", said Harry looking at Louis expectantly.

They were sat on Louis' tiny bed, both still naked and sweaty from having sex only a couple of minutes ago.

"Mhm", mumbled Louis in response, seemingly uninterested in the topic.

"What's wrong?", asked Harry.

"I just don't think that it is a good idea to get drunk when people that we know are around. You know how irresistible I find you, probably couldn't keep me hands off you", winked Louis.

Harry knew that it was meant as a joke but it still hurt. When he had come out a few years ago, he hadn't thought that he would be pushed into the closet yet again.

"You know what I think about that, Lou", sighed Harry.

"Harry, why is it of salience to you that I come out?", exhaled Louis, looking rather stressed out.

"I'm just so in love with you and so proud to be your boyfriend. I want everyone to see that. Do you really think that the guys would have an issue with you being gay?"

"First of all, I'm not gay, I'm harrysexual", winked Louis, "and second of all, it's not as if I'll never tell them. I just need a little bit more time."

Harry just sighed while Louis drew little circles on his back.

"I know", said Harry and kissed the top of Louis' nose.

"I still wanna go out with the guys soon. I feel like we rarely see them anymore", whined Harry.

"I miss Niall."

"I know you do, let's check whether they're free this Friday, okay princess?", said Louis, hugging Harry from behind.

"Yay!", exclaimed Harry.

Friday came around and they were all sat in a booth at their favourite bar.

"How have you been, Lou? You don't seem as if the breakup has been tough on you?", asked Liam.

"I'm good actually. I guess we had it coming for a while. We just weren't right for each other", said Louis.

"So, there's no way that you guys are getting back together?", interrogated Zayn.

Harry froze. The thought of Louis being with anyone but him bothered him beyond belief.

"You good there, Haz?", asked Niall.

"Yeah sure, just a headache."

"That calls for more beer", cheered Niall and passed him his bottle.

Harry chugged it down in record time, ignoring the jealousy that was rushing through him.

"You were saying, Louis?", asked Zayn again.

"We're definitely not getting back together, that much I can tell you", chuckled Louis.

"Ooooh, I understand", smirked Zayn.
