Emeralds in Your Eyes
In that moment, all Louis can recall are emeralds. The brightest, greenest, most beautiful emeralds that he has ever and will ever see.
"Um, hello?" The person in front of Louis waves his hand as to snap the fallen boy out of his trance. "I'm really really sorry." The new boy bites his lip and furrows his eyebrows while he stares guiltily at the blue eyed boy. "Can I help you up?"
All Louis can do is nod with his eyes wide open. He doesn't know what to think. This is what he wanted so badly, to find someone else, but now that he has done so, he has no idea what the next step is. Not to mention that the beautiful person before him is covered in mud and leaves from head to toe. Is this how it is in the jungle?
This new person, bless him, extends his tattooed arm to assist the older boy and helps him up. Louis almost instantly falls because of his incredibly painful ankle and winces as he cannot walk straight. The green eyed man notices right away and steadies him.
"Oh no, are you really hurt? Listen, I'm really sorry. I can see how I..." he looks down at the dirt stained clothes on his body, "...how my dressing may have alarmed you." Louis can also only think about the dirt which is transferring from the other's clothes to his. The question is not how will he clean his dirt ridden clothes later, but if he even cares significantly in the first place.
He realizes that he has been staring much too long and stutters to begin a sentence, "W-well my ankle is killing right now, I tripped earlier actually." He blushes feverishly. How embarrassing is he. "And uh, well it's not everyday you see someone dressed this way. Especially after you hear those... animal noises."
A look of realization crosses the helper's face. "Oh! You mean the boons!" By this time Louis has his arm wrapped around the other's shoulder and his injured leg lifted slightly off the ground. He makes a face of confusion at the mention of boons.
"I suppose? I dunno. Loud bear-like noises?" he asks.
The other nods enthusiastically. "Yeah, those are boons." Looking both ways, the new boy makes a sighing noise as if considering which direction to take. "Okay, so here's the thing. So I'm slightly freaking out about this whole situation in my head right now considering there's finally another human on this island, but I don't want to freak you out too much yet. So how about I transfer you over to my site and explain everything and we can get things more sorted. Also fix up that ankle of yours. Sounds good?" He stares at Louis with expectant eyes.
"Sound great. And don't worry, I'm freaking out too, " he softly exhales and smiles. Harry sends him a grin and puts his free hand out in the form of a handshake.
"Oh, my name is Harry. Dr. Harry Styles, if I may. And you are?" His face still caked in mud displays the wrinkles next to his eyes prominently as he grins next to Louis. They may be at an odd position considering how Louis' hands are wrapped all around him, they are mere inches apart, and one is fully covered in wet dirt, but neither can stop grinning. It might just be from seeing a human after so long. Possibly.
"Louis William Tomlinson at your service," he echoes and takes Harry's strong and firm hand in his and shakes it, sealing a bond that has more meaning than imaginable. "May we?" He motions out towards the jungle.
Louis doesn't know where he got this sudden surge of confidence from. It might be the jungle fever getting to his head, but Louis knows it has something to do with the emerald eyed boy radiating like a sun before him.
