2.8

Shiny, silver strands of garland decorated the walls. Silver lines were strung around tables and outside in the trees. Different concoctions of alcoholic beverages were on the kitchen island. People were laughing, dancing, and chatting while wearing different representations of the new year.

2106, here we come, Louis thought.

He found himself holding a glass of orange juice and vodka as he stood upstairs in the same room he'd played some silly spin the bottle game in months before.

Only his recent group of friends were up here, including Ed himself, who was overall ignoring Louis's presence. He'd even said hello to Harry, which, let's be real, was ridiculous.

Harry himself was sitting on the couch with fucking Ashton in his lap. It was a totally friendly thing, it seemed like, since Ashton had just plopped down when there was no room left, but Louis had told Harry he'd rather stand so it was Louis's fault for not taking the seat.

"Hey."

Louis jumped, tilting his head to see Zayn beside him. "Hello."

"Your boyfriend has a boy in his lap."

"He's not my boyfriend," Louis snapped before dumping some of the drink down his throat.

"You two shag and are 'in love', which makes you a couple," Zayn said in his soft voice.

"That's not... We aren't official," Louis retorted. "Besides, Liam has his eyes on Ashton and Harry-" Louis smirked as Harry happened to glance over and grin upon seeing Louis already looking- "Has his eyes on me."

Louis was satisfied now, but Zayn just gave a little jerk of his shoulders. "Do you think so?"

"What's the time?" Louis asked, desperately wanting to change the subject.

"11:56," answered Niall, who was climbing onto the ottoman. "Everyone quiet!"

All ten of the lads in the room looked up to Niall. It was still hard to hear with a party raging downstairs, but it wasn't too bad.

"Everyone in here must find a partner and you have to kiss them when the clock strikes midnight! We're all mates here, so don't be a pansy ass. Find a partner. It's good luck."

And Niall was down and latching onto Calum, his obvious partner. Zayn looked startled at the news. Liam had rushed to the opportunity and was casually leaning further in his seat to chat with Ashton, who's gotten out of Harry's lap as the lad made his way to Louis.

Michael and Luke seemed set to go, giving each other awkward looks occasionally but also sheepish smiles. The only free person in the room, besides Zayn, was Ed, so Zayn gave the ginger a raised eyebrow before making his way over.

Louis seemed content as his friends partnered up. "You're destined to have a good year with the person you kiss at midnight," Louis says, chuckling lightly as Harry grinned at him.

"I know I'll have a good year with you already, Louis. And next your's kiss will be with you as well."

"11:59!" Niall warned them.

"How do you know?" Louis asked as the downstairs area seemed to settle down slightly in anticipation for a new year.

"I don't, but I hope," Harry said quietly, pushing back Louis's hair. "What's your resolution?"

"To end my senior year as the favorite couple," Louis said after a few seconds of thinking. "I'd love to show the school what love really is."

Harry grinned and Niall said, "Ten!" to which everyone started counting down. Almost immediately after one, Harry and Louis were kissing and all of Louis's doubts were completely demolished.

~January~

"Louis Tomlinson," Harry muttered in between a kiss, "Start off my fantastic 2016 by being my boyfriend?"

Louis grinned at the question. "Of course I will, Harry. I love you."

"I love you," Harry replied, diving back in to lick into Louis's mouth. They snogged for a minute before pulling away as Niall coughed loudly, gaining attention.

"Louis, can you make the toast?" Niall asked before tilting his head and Louis could only imagine Niall thinking about real god damn toast.

"I will," Louis says as he takes Harry's hand that's used to help him onto the ottoman and speak. "Hello, my band of weirdos! We.'re gathered here today to celebrate the-"

"This isn't a bloody wedding, Louis!" Michael said, making everyone laugh and Louis smile in a sheepish manner.

"We're here to celebrate friendship, not someone getting hitched," Louis said as everyone quieted down again. "I'd like to make a toast to new everything... New friendships, new relationships, new shows, a new school year in the fall- university, bitches- and, most of all, an entirely new year. I love you all, losers."

They raised their cups and cans before drinking and Louis loves the way his drink suffocated his mind for a few seconds before he hopped down.

"Louis." It was Ed. "Can we have a chat?"

Louis nodded a bit and stepped off to the side. Ed's cheeks were red.

"Intoxicated?" Louis asked.

"Not nearly as much as usual," Ed admitted. "Because I planned on apologizing. You led me on, Louis, and you never apologized for it."

"I'm so-"

"Unfortunately, it's to late, Ed interrupted, "But I cannot completely kick you and Harry from my lives. I love you, Louis. But I will respect your choices- as your friend."

Louis grinned and was suddenly hugging Ed. "Thank you."

"Thank you," Ed replied. "I missed you, Lou."

"I missed you," Louis replied.

He was shocked when Ed suddenly gripped his arm and gaped ahead. Louis turned to see Ashton pinned against the wall, Liam snogging the fuck out of him.

"That's hot," Louis whined, pouting out his bottom lip.

"Tell me about it." Harry. "How are you, Ed?"

"Good," Ed said, eyes shifting between them as Harry kept an arm around his boy. "How are you two?"

"We're fine," Harry replied. "Doing good. What's your resolution, Ed?"

Ed's eyes glimmered as he looked between them again before he shrugged. "I go with the flow."

"Did you kiss Zayn?" Louis asked in order to change the subject.

"I did," Ed replied, a hint of a smile on his lips. "The lad can kiss. Then, he told me he was bisexual. Who knew!?"

Louis giggled and Harry's chest contracted as he fell in love all over again.

Louis was beautiful.

"Ashton seems to be enjoying his kiss as well," Harry said with a quick glance at Liam and Ashton. He did a double-take. "Um... Where are they?"

Ed and Louis looked around and they're eyes searched the room.

"I bet twenty that they're fucking," Louis said with a glimmer if a smirk.

"As long as it's not my room," Ed said uneasily, to which Harry and Louis laughed.

~~~

Harry and Louis decided to just stay over at Ed's. They'd sobered up some, but not too incredibly much.

To Louis's delight, he caught Ed and Zayn sneaking off into Ed's room, Calum and Niall heading out the door with their hands linked, and Michael and Luke exchanging glances and shy smiles.

Louis wondered if they would end up having a good year with who they kissed. He, or course, had Harry and he's sure that that will end well.

The guest bedroom they chose was littered with more silver garland and the bed was pretty neatly made, so the lads figured noone had fucked in here- tonight, at least.

Louis wanted to change that.

The door was barely locked when Louis attacked him, lips pressing harshly together. Harry groaned and bucked his hips into Louis's after he'd picked the boy up.

"So hot," Harry mumbled, lips attaching to Louis's neck. "Always so needy for me."

"Fuck," Louis whimpered. "Need you in me, please."

Harry nodded frantically and pushed Louis to the bed, ordering the boy to undress and get on it. Harry undressed himself and dig frantically through his wallet. There were two sample packets of lube and a condom.

As much as he wanted to come in Louis, this wasn't their bed and he didn't want to be the one to tell Ed that they came on it. Harry could just suck Louis off in order to handle that problem.

He was climbing into his bed when something caught his eye. A strong of silver garland was hanging from the ceiling fan.

Harry smirked and tugged it down while Louis was positioning himself on hands and knees. His hands were suddenly pulled back and he whimpered when the itchy string of tinsel was tied around his wrists.

Shit.

"Daddy," he whined because this was so much hotter than pink scarves. "Please."

Harry nodded and ripped open a packet of lube, coating three fingers well. He was immediately fingering Louis open, needing to get in the boy soon. Louis's ass was propped in the air, shoulders grounded into the mattress and face turned to the side so that he could breathe.

He whimpered and whined all through Harry's three fingers before the younger lad pulled them out and pulled on the condom before living it up and positioning himself in front of Louis's hole, pink and fluttering.

Harry groaned as he wrapped an arm around Louis's waist, pushing into the boy. Louis cried out, hands clenching for something to grab but ultimately just brushing against Harry's stomach.

"Harry-"

"Yeah, baby?"

"Fuck me slow, yeah?"

Harry grinned and pressed a kiss to Louis's shoulder. "Okay, baby, I've got you."

He fucked slowly into Louis as asked, holding his boy close and just savoring every moment with him.
