Harry looked into the pair of blue eyes that he had only seen once so far but which seemed oddly familiar and reassuring.

Louis and Harry both reached out to press the first floor button in unison and their fingers brushed.

Harry turned and looked at him surprised.. "first floor?"

"Yeah, that's where my new apartment is.." said Louis shooting Harry a timid smile.

New apartment!? Harry stood there, the gears of his brain clicking together and putting the pieces in place. He was about to respond when the doors of the elevator smoothly slid open to reveal their floor.

Liam stood outside the apartment anxiously.

"Harry! There you are! I was beginning to get worried you got lost or something.." he trailed off as he noticed the person standing beside Harry.

"You must be Louis? Yeah? Niall pretty much described every tiny detail about you so I could picture you perfectly" he said pulling Louis into a warm hug in true Liam style.

"Yes I am Louis" the boy replied, a bit dazed and confused.

"So I'm assuming, you guys know you'll are going to live with each other, considering how you arrived together?" Liam said smiling at both of them.

"Umm..." Harry began while Louis said, "Wait what!?"

Liam seemed to sense the awkwardness and came to the rescue. "In any case, Dad told me to introduce the two of you to each other, so I don't care how well you know each other, I'm going to do it anyway. Dad's orders" he said jokingly.

"Louis this is Harry Styles and Harry, this is Louis Tomlinson. Now go along inside and explore, young ones" said Liam cheekily, pushing Harry and Louis inside the apartment.

Once inside, they looked at each other again, slowly beginning to warm up to each other.

Side by side, they wandered into the kitchen. It had pretty white cabinets and an island in the center.

Harry clapped his hands in delight while Louis watched him, smiling unknowingly to himself.

"You seem to like to cook" Louis said amused.

"Me!? Oh I love to cook!!" Harry said cheerfully.

"Well atleast we've established who'll do the cooking" Louis said with a smug expression.

"Hey!" Harry meekly protested for the sake of it but not for long, he was happy knowing nobody would be interfering with his kitchen.

The living room was absolutely empty and unfurnished.

"I think we could have a sofa right there" Harry said pointing to the corner, jumping slightly on discovering that his voice was echoing.

Louis began laughing seeing his reaction soon followed by Harry. Soon the room was filled with the warm, melodious laughter of the two boys and even though the place wasn't even furnished yet, it already began to have a homely feel to it...

There were two small bedrooms separated by a single bathroom.

"I guess we'll have to share the bathroom then.." Harry said, trying to silently tell the butterflies in his stomach to fuck off and mind their own business.

"I think so..yeah" came the reply. They went to the bedrooms next.

"DIBS" Harry shouted excitedly to Louis for the bedroom on his left.

"Calm down Curly, the rooms are identical, I don't see why we need dibs anyway" Louis said with a laugh.

Curly.

"Well if they're identical, you take the other one, this one's mine" Harry said, his perfect pink lips shaping into an adorable pout.

Louis looked at Harry for a second, before he looked away, his expression suddenly changing and try as he could, Harry could not decipher what it was.

"Yes, no problem" he said tapping Harry on the nose, not being able to resist doing so, before dumping all his bags in his bedroom.

Harry smiled. He was already looking forward to living here and something told him that this feeling of his didn't have much to do with the apartment.
