"I'm sorry, baby. It's just-" 
                          
"Just what, Lou? I asked you not to hurt him." Harry said, exasperated. "I know. But he was saying so many things about you-" Louis said, and Harry huffed. "Words are just words, Louis! They're not gonna stop." Harry said, and Louis grabbed his hand. 
                          
"I got Andy expelled, sweetie. They will stop." Louis whispered, and Harry bit his lip. "R-really?" 
                          
"Have I ever lied to you?" 
                          
"Thank you, Lou. I'm sorry I got mad." Harry said, and Louis shrugged, kissing his lips quickly. "It's okay, love. Let's get home."
                          
Louis drove Harry home, giving him a kiss before he left. "See you tonight lovely." He smiled, going to his own house.
                          
Harry skipped in, greeting his mother and his sister in the kitchen. He grinned, and Gemma pulled him into the other room. "What's got you so smiley? Is it about the boy?" Gemma smiled, and Harry nodded shyly. 
                          
"We kissed and...it's complicated but like we both like each other and it's like we're dating but..he hasn't asked me to be his boyfriend yet." Harry explained, and Gemma nodded, then squealed. "I'm so happy for you guys! Louis has to come over again!" She exclaimed, and Harry nodded. 
                          
"I'm going to his game tonight, but maybe tomorrow?" Harry asked.
                          
"It's a date."
