Chapter 3 - Two

"Mum it was horrid!" Harry sighed down the phone, as he walked down the street to his school.

"Darling, listen I'm sure you did fine, getting sweaty palms is part of nerves. " She spoke her voice wavering as she was nervous, it was clear in her voice. She knew something like this would happen she always worried too much but this time she knew it was for good reason, there was no excuses for leaving your son alone. He was alone in a time of need and she felt useless because she was now at work and he was walking to school and now, he still had to face another hurdle today, going into school late; by himself.

"Mum?" Harry whispered down the phone, Anne furrowed her eyebrows, why was he whispering?

"yes son, what is it? why you whispering?" She spoke firmly down the phone, she started to worry, her own palms beginning to sweat, what was going on with Harry? First his day was ruined because she didn't go and now he seemed scared. Grabbing her car keys off the desk she wedged her phone onto her shoulder, lifting her shoulder up so it was balancing he phone to her ear, while she got her coat on. She then slipped on her heels which she had took off to work at her desk, so she was comfy,

"mum, it's Louis, shhh." she stopped in her tracks, her son..has a... crush? She stopped and listened, her breathe almost inaudible from eavesdropping.

"Harry, baby how are you? Why aren't you at school, your late aren't you?" a boy, who Harry had described as Louis spoke, Anne trying to listen but only heard Harry's breathe very fast and almost a heartbeat through his ear 'deffo a crush' she thought to herself with a nod.

"erm, well i went to the dentist and my mum said i had to walk to school after because well, she'd be at work, she isn't a bad mum... i swear" she smiled at his words but heard a choked laugh, it was Louis', why did he laugh? Harry hadn't done anything weird, simply complimented his mother, was that seen as uncool? She didn't know but either way, she didn't want her son to be bullied so, she kept listening.

"Aw. Harry Styles, you little innocent boy,-" she frowned again as she heard footsteps come closer to the microphone of the mobile which meant he'd came in front of her son.  "- wanna walk to school with me baby?" he finished, a faint 'erm yes please' came from harry's lips and then the line went dead.

"Harry Edward Styles, you did not just put the phone down on your mother!" she said texting it into her phone to Harry's. Huffing she sat back down eyebrows furrowed into a line and her breathing unsteady, that boy could do anything to her son, and that, is the last thing she would ever want as she is devoted to Harry she knows that because he is so different that she needs to look after him, he is too much like a precious delicate flower easy to rip, that was what that boy could do. Sending a text to Harry to be safe, she sat back in her chair and sighed deeply head rolled back so that she saw the ceiling, "oh dear god."

----------------------⚜-------------------

" So young Harry, how are you?" he spoke lifting a tattooed wrist to sweep some purple strands out of his face.

Harry lifted his head from the floor and smiled, he couldn't believe that someone who never talks to him, is talking to him AND taking time to care about how he is! He thought that Louis never cared, but he must, mustn't he?

Being with Louis made him feel like how he felt when he was near the plants and animals, and how they made him feel, the way they cared, how they acted with him, the animals always snuggled up to him and nudged him, then Harry would talk to them and they would sit on his knee while he did so, the birds always brought him flowers so he would make new flower crowns and he would go to school the next day and show them off, proud of them.

It felt like Louis cared and it felt awful sweet, so it made Harry smile, genuinely.

"im quite fine thanks Lou." he spoke looking out into the road, without realising he had shortened his name, he carried on, Louis perking up to the nickname but saw Harry not fazed and his cute face looking out into the road and clearly admiring the church in front of then, he was looking at two glass windows, more than anything else on the church, they seemed to intrigue Harry. A smile evident on his face as he grazed his eyes over every inch of the church. Louis didn't get how a person, a boy especially could find something so beautiful. It was completely weird and absurd, but this characteristic on a person like Harry, well, it was just cute and amazing to watch.

"good, now then, let's get us to school before we both get suspended" he chuckled, but Harry's face changed, his heart dropped and the colour drew from his face as he looked at Louis, "Not literally babe" Louis added as he saw the sudden drop in heart Harry had encountered at these words.

Letting out a breath Harry smiled again showing his beautiful white glistening teeth, Louis gazed at the sight and a sinful smile landed on his lips, wondering about all the things that he could do to him, lay him down on the grass beside them right now and take his cock whole... Was his cock big? Louis bet on Harry's being medium sized but thick and he was definitely a bottom maybe even a sub, perfect for Louis.

"What you thinking about?" Harry asked, looking at Louis who seemed to be deep in thought.  What could possibly be that intriguing? Not Harry of course there isn't anything interesting about him. Except his anastasia highlighter, that, oh that was definitely interesting.

"You." Louis simply spoke, Harry's heart raced, "-my heart just went funny " Harry laughed, no clue as to what it was or why it happened, but Louis knew and a smirk appeared on his face.

-----------------⚜-------------------

"See you around Hazza" Louis spoke as they left each other at the school entrance after telling Louis goodbye and waving him off, he stormed to class were there he apologized again with a clear coating of blush covering his cheeks.

When he was seated, eventually, he could only sit near the man that tormented him he most, Niall Horan, he was quite mean and made fun of him a lot, telling him things in his ear in a weird voice that didn't make sense and he hadn't heard of and thing that made him twitch because they sounded just horrid.

He sat and thought. He seemed to think a lot, some would say he thinks too much but, he believes thinking makes sure that you understand, and understanding is the way to get things in life. He glanced around, tapping his foot and thinking once again.

What would life be like if he didn't have to go to school? Maybe he could have skipped everything and got a husband and had kids! That would be...

"Oi! White boy, stop tapping your god damn foot" Harry jumped, and whimpered. He looked at the horrendous face that has said the words, and met with the eyes that belonged to no other than Niall.

"I'm s-sorry I didn't mea-an to." Harry spoke suddenly. Niall burst out in laughter and shook his head while turning back to his work, "fucking fag." Harry's ears pricked and head stiffened, what does he mean?

Harry was always asking that question, what does this mean, why do they say that it was always the same. His mum says he is amazing yet everyone else says he's too innocent. Sighing he looked over to the teacher and raised his hand,

"Yes Harry?" Mr smith spoke, after asking to go to the rest room and being granted he stood up and walked to the toilet. He walked through the halls slowly, admiring the way the that the displays were placed, the way the walls were painted and the way they were all made to show the personalities of all the students there. It was really pretty and made Harry feel really blessed to come to the school in an odd but weird way. He came to the door of the lavatory and walked in with a smile on his face as he shifted his flower crown on his head. But his smile soon disappeared when he walked to see Louis on the floor crying.

"Lou? What's up?" He spoke inquisitively as he walked over he reached out and grabbed Louis hand, knelt beside him and used his other hand to lift his chin so their eyes met, so that they could look at each other. Louis faintly smiled.

"I'm just in pain Harry. That's all. " his eyebrows furrowed at Harry's face. It wasn't upset it was angry, or so it looked. 

Harry gazed into louis' eyes unsure of what to think, searching for why he was hurting in his eyes. But could find nothing,

"Louis, who hurt you? Who could? I could never hurt you.." Louis smirked, Harry blushed and coughed -" I mean I couldn't hurt anyone, everyone deserves a chance to become who they want to, they deserve second chances no matter what" he said smiling after.

Louis looked at him confused, "I don't understand, how can you be so... so calm about everything and forgiving."

" I have no reason not to be forgiving." He simply said. Sitting himself beside Louis he placed his hand on Louis' and smiled. Louis didn't get the boy, he was so peculiar, he just didn't make sense. The questions that went through Louis head as he stared at the mysterious boy. Why was he so care free? Is he actually as innocent as he acts? Does he know anything about love ect?

"Harry?" Louis spoke as he still sat staring at him,

"Yes, what is it Lou?" Harry spoke smiling towards him.

"Come to mine after school, I need company? " Harry looked odd his face twisted,

"Oh I don't know I like plants and animals more than people. They are so lovely but people are mean and I don't get why. The animals always like my company but; humans, well they don't like it so much." Harry sighed sagging his shoulders. Louis wondering if it were genuine. Lifted Harry's chin with his fingers and it became clear so fast that it was genuine, the tears gathering in his eyes representing the actual confusion and hurt.

Sighing Louis looked at Harry "well I'll join you with the plants and animals, I think I need to see them how you see them. Harry you are an amazing and exquisite young boy. You make no sense to me and I want to figure you out."

Harry gasped, blushing he looked away from Louis frowning to himself. He wondered why he felt the way he felt after what Louis had said.

" I have butterflies. " Harry spoke. Louis smiled knowingly, "good" Louis spoke looking at him he wondered why or what mesmerised him do much; Harry.

"You can come Lou, of course you can. I think the rabbits will like you most." Harry spoke leaning his head back onto the wall smiling at the ceiling as if he saw the future.
