----------------------MAANGAS




Before Louis could even speculate the thing that she's holding behind her back, Rej said



"It ends here..." She smirked.



Louis and Harry just frowned at her they couldn't do much anyways.


"Harry are you excited?" She shrieked.


Louis couldn't bear to look at her...so he looked at Harry instead.

Harry was there listening cautiously at her. He felt really terrified now.


"Here's for you both!" She held her hands out and it was





A timebomb.


She threw it at Harry and it got situated on his chest. Harry looked at it...a horrified look on his eyes.



The bomb was alarmingly near his face..he shook it off hurriedly and kicked it away but it didn't go too far.



"This all too bad for you Mister Tomlinson." Rej said in a mocking tone.




"...I never wanted to drag you along with this, but then I can't let anything stop me now. You getting in the way."




"You want an applause for that?" Louis replied, just because whether or not he says anything, Rej would still be the lunatic that she is, and he doesn't want her to feel that she's winning.


Of course, she was infuriated, it made her face even more ugly.


"DID I ASK YOU TO SPEAK?..." Rej asked threateningly, her eyes bulging out of their sockets.

"Why can't you understand that you will basically, die here?!?!?"

Harry squirmed closer to Louis his face still horrified as he looked at the bomb on the floor at his side.


Louis gave Rej a disgusted look.

"Oh Well, I go see you in hell! Both of you...lovebirds.." She turned her back.


"Isn't this kind of romatic? dying together and shit?"  She laughed as she walked her way out...But she stopped at the middle of the doorway.


"I got more gifts...anyways. Enjoy it." Rej said.

The kidnappers that was behind her placed two bombs at each of the corner of the room.


She went out of the door and her minions followed her.
She gave them one last glimpse and Louis swore he saw a tear trickle down her eye shining against the bright behind her and a sorry expression on her face.

Wait? Did I just see? Is Rej sorry for what she just did?.. No that didn't make sense! She's about to kill us off!

A second later the door went to close itself.

-----------------


Harry was there still looking at the timebomb.. the digital screen says

5:00

Five minutes. Harry closed his eyes and opened it again, hoping that it wasn't real.

Much to his dismay the time just went down to

4:57

Then it hit Harry like a huge rock, this is real.


"I TOLD YOU THAT GIRL IS UP TO NO GOOD!" Louis scolded Harry.



"..look at what the hell she's done to us."


Harry groaned "Geez, Louis! I didn't know that she's a frigging psycho bitch! "



"I should have stayed away from her.."



His brain came back to Rej, the friend that he trusted so much. The smiles she gave him, came back to his vision but now he realized that it was all just fake.

His mother, he imagined her wearing dark clothes sobbing beneath her dark glasses at his funeral.

Zayn, Liam and Niall.



His ambitions and achievements...all passing through his thoughts but eventually ending on a pit of oblivion.

I'm gonna die..I'm gonna die.

He was crying with his eyes open, and large drops of tears went running down his cheeks like waterfalls making his face turn into a crying mess...complete with a red nose.
 

He turned to Louis who was struggling to get out of the rope that was restraining his hands.

"Louis!" He said softly at first but Louis didn't hear it..he was still busy desperately trying to break free.



"LOUIS!"  There, Harry used that familiar bitchy tone again.




It made Louis turn his attention.
"Yeah? What the bloody hell are you yelling for?"  He said




"Kiss me." Harry said in a commanding tone.


There was silence.


Louis cocked his eyebrows. "Seriously, is this the right time to seduce me?"



"Shut up stupid! Kiss me!" He exclaimed  "I wouldn't die without a proper kiss from you!"


"Just kiss me...you fool"



Louis gulped and he moved himself closer to Harry. Could you even resist that? Louis couldn't.



Harry closed his eyes and bowed down a bit.

Louis smelled Harry's hair, the scent of his shampoo still stayed fragrant on it.

He kissed his forehead, it was the longest kiss he gave someone. It was as if to reassure him that he would be there and he'll stay.

When he noticed that Harry has stopped crying, he went down a bit.

He kissed the tip of his nose, just a peck though, it made Harry completely forget everything, he gig led like a little girl.

Then finally, his lips. He kissed those wide lips that curved into a smile. It was just a smack, it was abrupt and he pulled away real fast. But it was so romantic.



That was officially the first kiss, because the very first kiss they had before was really unromatic and Harry doesn't even remember it because he was so drunk. He chuckled at the thought.

Maybe..Just maybe..I could die happy. Harry said softly, still closing his eyes.

"Stop that drama! You wouldn't die!" Louis said his voice was extremely happy.
"Not here at least."

Harry opened his eyes and like magic,



Louis was holding a rope, the one that tied his hands. He had a smug grin on his face.

"Oh..wow. How did you break free?" Harry asked him, an amazed expression on his face.

Louis got rid of the thing he was holding and stood up. The tie on his feet magically untangled itself.

"What the fuck is this sorcery?..How'd you do that?"

Louis smirked. At last, months of agent training has paid off. He learned how to break free without using any sharp objects. He had realized that his Swiss army knife disappeared from his pocket since he woke up, so obviously he can't use it.


"I could teach you..but then this is not the right time." Louis said as he made his way at Harry's back, successfully taking the rope off.

Harry hurriedly looked at his hands. They were a little scratched because of friction,considering he had also tried to break free.

Before he knew it, his feet were free now too, thanks to Louis. He looked at the bomb.

Exactly, 3:00

"What the-.." Harry exclaimed..

"..Louis! Look at that" He pointed at the time bomb.

Louis' face changed to a dismayed reaction.

"Of course you know how to stop it!" Harry said, a hint of hope on his voice.



Louis gave him a dumb-cartoony look. "Eh..I don't know actually"

Harry's mouth gaped open he said "Stop joking! How come you don't know? You are a goddamn agent for godsakes!"

Louis shook his head he felt actually disappointed.

"I was absent when Paul taught us how to defuse a bomb."

Harry squatted, the bones on his knees cracked, he looked up.
"Yeah.." He let out a groan.

"What now?..Could we really die if these bombs explode?..It's like what if we would just go put them together at a spot as far as possible...so that we'd get less uhmm..damage?"


"I know where you're coming from...But this place is made of wood and it's also quite small..It's easy for it to catch fire..provided these timebombs are gonna create fire..It would burn down the whole place.."

"...we'd be roasted. like kebabs without a stick."


Harry scoffed. "Louis..i get it, you are really good at pissing me off....."


"...but what do we do now?" He said while pulling his hair up.


Louis looked the bomb and the time left is

2:15.. It's probably the same with the other 2 bombs at the corner.



He went to look around the warehouse. Looking for something that could get them out.

Harry rushed to the door and started kicking it furiously.


"Shit!" He exclaimed.


Louis rolled his eyes, that was expected she would lock the door of course, there was a possibility that they could break free and Rej knew that.



"It won't get open! Louis help me here!" Harry said as he continued to kick the door.

"I won't!! That door is possibly the strongest thing on this warehouse right now and WE can't knock it down! You'll just hurt your feet...so stop."


Harry turned to him.  If Louis tells him to stop then he'll stop. Louis knows better.
"What do you suggest we'd do?"

Louis found some crates at the side of the warehouse and he went to that direction.

He examined the crates he noticed that they were empty, He put impact on it, luckily, it didn't break...it was still durable.

Harry looked at him quizzically. "What are you gonna do with that?"

Louis carried a crate and put one at the top of the other like he's playing lego.

"Help me here!" He called out. Harry came running to him.

"You see that window over there." Louis gestured his hands up.

Harry looked up he saw a small window. But it was really high.

"We'll go out through that window."

Harry made an unsure grin. "I know..but how'd we get there?"


"We'll use these crates, we will pile them up and use them as stairs so that we could climb up..Easy enough."



"I know, But Louis..." He didn't mean to be pessimistic.
"That is too high....Are there enough crates?"



Louis gave him an approving look. "Yeah of course, there are a whole lotta of them, now if you'd just help me.."

Harry hurriedly looked for crates and stacked them at the top of each other.




Then Harry went to climb as Louis handed..more like, threw him the last crate so that he'd be able to reach the window.

Harry hurriedly climbed at the top of it and now he's literally one step away from freedom.


Louis took a really quick glimpse at the bomb.

1:00 the screen displayed.

He run like mad upwards using the crates and said.

"Why didn't you jump out?"  Louis expected him to just leap out since he's the one that's too desperate to escape.


However, he didn't wait for the answer and he jumped his way out of the small window, just enough for him to squeeze himself into.

He somersaulted his way to the ground.



Harry was still there by the window, he really wanted to go but the height seems so high.


"Harry! Come on! I'll catch you!" Louis shouted from the distance. His voice was faint even though he had already screamed.

Harry didn't budge he needs someone to push him. He looked at Louis.



"Trust me! Just go..I won't ever leave..just go...let's get outta here together!"


Louis held his hands up.



Harry had no choice..the bomb is gonna explode anytime soon he looked at the timer and there's only 30 seconds left.



Trust me! Just go! Louis' voice rang on his ears.



He's just there.



Harry finally gained the courage, he quickly leaped out of the window. Afraid that if he would stay longer, he would chicken out.



Harry felt the air trying pushing him dow and after a second. He was suddenly at Louis' arms and it feels just right, it's like he belonged in them. It didn't feel too bad after all.



Louis carefully put Harry down, so that he could stand on his own. He knows that Harry might feel a little dizzy, since he's not fond of jumping out of high places.



He shook Harry's shoulder in an attempt to make him regain balance.



"Are you okay?" Louis asked.


Harry just nodded.



So Louis didn't mind much about it and grabbed Harry's wrist.


He ran with all his might and Harry was caught up by surprise and his body didn't recover yet.



"Hey...hey Lou! It hurts...My wrist!" Harry exclaimed.



0:10



"Okay..Okay!" He grabbed Harry's hand instead and ran frantically...


They ran into the cornfield..since there's no other way, all they could see was a vast cornfield.



They swatted the leaves away from their eyes and just continued running elsewhere.


"You've got any idea how many seconds left.." Louis asked.



"I dunno..five seconds.." Harry said



0:09



0:08




0:07



0:06



Harry felt his legs go numb, that was the fastest he has ever been.


"I can't run anymore..Oh God! My feet hurt!"



0:05



Louis stopped running and he let go of Harry's hand.



They were quite far out the warehouse now but he wants to get away as far as possible...just to be sure.



But Harry....he's at the ground hitting his legs with his fist.



0:04



"Damn it!" Harry exclaimed.



"It's okay..." Louis said while kneeling down.



"..I'll carry you." He smirked.



0:03



"What the hell?" Harry said as Louis started to lift him off the ground.



"You said you can't run anymore.." Louis said.



0:02



"You're actually quite heavy.."



"Yeah...man.We're far enough..." Harry said as Louis proceeded to run in a slower pace while carrying him.



0:01



"Put me down Louis! I wanna see how it explodes!" Harry insisted.



Louis stopped running at a rare,vacant spot that wasn't planted with corn. Harry looked up to him



Louis proceeded to say;


"Real men don't look at explosions!"






----------~~~BOOM!~~~--------






The sound hit their eardrums like lightning. The warehouse was suddenly burning, followed by a large cloud of smoke and dust that stained the skies.



The roof of the building collapsed and walls came crumbling down. The fire swallowed it easily, creating little firecrackers out of the burnt pieces of wood.



------



Louis let go of Harry, he went to sit at the earth beneath him.



Harry followed, his trousers sure look too dirty now, so it doesn't matter if it gets any dirtier.



Louis continued to look at the warehouse that's now being reduced to ashes.



He shook his head. Rej has got this much money to waste...she just destroyed a freaking warehouse, it was worn-out but still....who would do drastic measures just to kill someone?



She's crazy. That is all.



Harry closer to Louis and he clutched the back of his suit.



"Louis...We're alive!" He said, his voice was hoarse after all the screaming.



Louis did a deep breath. Yes indeed.



"That's supposed to happen..that's why i'm here, i'll protect you.That's just the truth"



As he said it, the environment behind them, seemingly turned romantic, the bright yellow tassel of the corn plant was complimented by the sunset over it....too bad just miles away from them was a burning piece of mess, otherwise it would be perfect.



"Why?" Harry bit his lip.



"Because..I need to.." Louis said.



"Why?" Harry asked as if he he was giving him a second chance to change his last answer.



"Because..I want to..." Harry stared at the space blankly instead.



Louis sighed in defeat. "Yeah..Because.. I love you."



Harry turned to him, his eyes glistened and a cheerful grin plastered on his face.



"I thought so.."



Louis looked at him, he made a sarcastic smile.


"You happy now?."



Harry lounged himself at Louis wrapping his arms around him. He felt extremely weak.



"I am..I could cry now..but then that would be pathetic...."



Louis nodded. "Yeah....very" I couldn't count how many times you cried this entire story.



Harry stared at Louis' lips. He wanted to taste those for a little longer.



He went to surprise Louis and inched towards his lips in a really fast move but Louis noticed what he's planning before he could do it.



Louis slapped Harry's face lightly, causing his head to turn into another direction.



Harry held his cheeks and massaged it gently.


"That hurts! What was that for?" Harry said.



"Stop overreacting that didn't hurt one bit!"


Louis sneered. "You can't just go attack me whenever you want."



"Why do you have such good reflexes?" Harry groaned.



"I am an agent. That is all. You can't overpower me." Louis said.



 
"But you love me.." Harry smirked.


"That is all."




Louis can't help but smile to that. That was his weakest point. He's actually really happy right now because he had already said his real feelings. He could say it a hundred times and Harry wouldn't get sick of it, but Louis isn't really that sentimental.



"Shoot I forgot my mobile is now broken!" Harry exclaimed.



"I can't call anyone! Lou please tell me you got a phone!"



Louis gave him an 'are-you-kidding' look.


"Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! CHILL!  I'll go call for some back-up."



He quickly got his phone off the pocket inside his suit. He chuckled at Harry's worried look and pinched his cheek, it caused Harry to smile.



"Yeah..We don't know where we are.." Louis said to the person on the phone.



"just go track us down...I got no time to explain."


Louis nodded.


"Yeah! sorry.. Can you come here fast." He paused.


"Thank you..thank you very much"



~Beep~



"My battery is dead.." Louis shook his phone.



Harry chuckled. "Talk about luck.."



"We're too lucky today don't you think?" They laughed together, for the first time, they felt too relieved, their hearts could jump out of their chest.
