The boys quickly fell back into the routine of school and caught up on the work they missed.  Louis didn't have to use his crutches much anymore but Harry kept a close eye on him.


Louis had a few more nightmares that mainly consisted of car accidents but one recent one was a lot different.  Louis had dreamt that he was at an airport.  He thought he was with Harry but then he saw the much taller boy with a tall, blonde girl.  She was all over him and Louis stood there staring.  He tried to call out to him but it was no use.  He watched as Harry and this mysterious blonde headed through the crowd of people, never seen again.  When he'd woken up, he felt Harry's arms tight around his torso and smiled to himself.  They were just dreams.

The two boys were watching TV after completing some work for school. It was a cool Saturday and the two boys were cozy indoors.


"Louis?" Harry said.


"Yeah?" Louis looked up at him.


"Do you want to go out to eat tonight?" Harry asked.


It had been a while since the two boys had been on a proper date.


"Okay. Where are we going?" Louis sat up and smiled at him.


"Somewhere fancy?" Harry suggested and Louis agreed.


"Okay, I'll drive you home and you can pick your outfit." Harry said and Louis nodded. They headed to Harry's car and headed back to Louis' house.


Harry walked him to the door and told him he'd pick him up at 8. Louis leaned up and kissed his cheek.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


It was currently 7:45 and Louis made his way downstairs to wait for Harry.
His body was wrapped in gold cocktail dress. He paired this with white heels and a white bag. His mum and sisters were all out so he was home alone.


Louis saw that he had a text. It was Harry saying he was just leaving his house so Louis left and locked the door, waiting outside. It was a mild night so Louis didn't regret not having a jacket. Not long after, he saw Harry's car pull up and Harry exited the car. Louis' heels clicked as he headed to the car. Harry's eyes travelled up and down his boyfriend's body and he bit his lip.


Louis thanked his boyfriend as he sat in the car. Harry started driving as they sat in comfortable silence.


"Do I look okay Haz?" Louis asked.


"You look gorgeous, baby." Harry smiled over at him as Louis blushed.


"I bought this dress recently and now I can wear it." Louis told Harry.


"I'm glad I could see it on you first." Harry said.


The two boys arrived at the restaurant and they could see from the multitude of expensive cars, that this was a fancy restaurant.


"Hazzy, isn't this place too expensive?" Louis worriedly asked.


"No, my love, I know the owner.  He said it's on the house.  You can have whatever you like." Harry explained.


"Who's the owner?" Louis asked as they headed to the entrance.


"A friend." Harry told him and Louis nodded.


The inside of the restaurant had black and white tiles along the floor with a range of booths and tables scattered around the building.  There was a band playing in the corner and people chatting happily.


"Harry!" A voice called.


"Luke!" Harry smiled, the two boys hugged.


"You must be Louis?" Luke asked.


Louis nodded, not quite sure of who he actually was.


"Lou, this is Luke.  He was there the night of the accident." Harry explained.


"Yeah, your boyfriend here was very very upset.  I had to pull him out the car." Luke told the small boy.


"Thank you for helping us." Louis said and smiled brightly at the blonde boy.


"You're very welcome.  Come on, I've saved the best table for you." Luke said.  He picked up two menus from the entrance and lead the couple upstairs.  They followed him out onto a balcony and Louis' jaw dropped.


"I'll send a waiter over in a few minutes, would you like any drinks while you wait?" Luke asked.


"Lou, what would you like?" Harry asked the shocked boy.


Louis didn't respond.  He instead stared at the scenery in front of him.


Luke and Harry laughed and so Harry ordered for him.


"We'll both have a cola if that's okay?" Harry asked.


"Absolutely, enjoy your meal." Luke said.


"Thanks again Luke." Harry smiled at him.


Harry admired Louis who sat in his seat and gazed at the surroundings.


"Enjoying yourself, my love?" Harry asked.


"Harry, I don't know what to say." Louis told him.


Harry smiled at him.  Louis turned to look at Harry completely and held his hand over the table.  Louis stared into the emerald green eyes opposite him that he admired and Harry did likewise.


"Haz?" Louis whispered.


"Yeah baby?" Harry whispered back.


"I think- no wait it's stupid." Louis shook his head and looked away.


Harry places his hand under his chin and moved his face to look at him again.


"Nothing you say is stupid." Harry said.


Louis shook his head and picked up his menu.  Harry wondered if he did something wrong but instead of pushing the small boy, he also picked up his menu and decided what he wanted.  A waiter came with their drinks and took their orders.


"Louis, love, will you tell me what you were saying please?" Harry asked.


"I just don't want you to react wrong." Louis tried to explain.


"Did I do something wrong?" Harry asked.


"No, of course you didn't." Louis said, shocked.


"Please tell me baby." Harry said.


"I was going to say that I love you a lot." Louis said.


"I love you a lot too Louis." Harry replied.


"No but I think I'm in love with you." Louis said and looked straight into his lover's eyes yet again.


"Why would that be stupid?" Harry smiled.


"Well I didn't know if we were moving too fast." Louis said.


"Love, we can do this at whatever pace you want to.  And just so you know, I know I'm in love with you." Harry told him.


Louis blushed and smiled brightly at him.


Their food came and the two spoke about everything.  Louis spoke about his sisters and Harry spoke about his family too.  They didn't know that there were other couples inside watching the two of them with a smile.  Many of them rarely saw young couples going out on proper dates anymore.
