Louis looks really good tonight, of course he looks good every time Harry sees him but there's just something particularly good about Louis wearing one of Harry's jumper. It was an old jumper that Harry owned in his freshmen year but he started growing more and now it doesn't fit anymore but is the perfect size for Louis so Harry gave it to him when Louis asked for it. Harry was feeling rather possessive tonight and he hopes Mathew would sense it and run away.

They have arrived to the place where Mathew said he'll be, Harry thought that this is by far the worst date in the entire history of dates because Mathew could have planned this more thoroughly since he's given a once in a lifetime opportunity to spend time with a Louis Tomlinson. Mathew decided on a fancy dinner which would be perfect if Louis was actually into such bullshit.

Harry can already sense Louis' apprehension as he fidgets on his foot. They were both standing near the entrance and Harry hated how Louis was nervously playing with the sleeve of his jumper, staring at his hands as people from left and right stared at them with judging eyes. The fact that Mathew didn't tell Louis that they'll be eating at one of the most high end restaurants in town with the most haughty rich bastards around who thinks that they own the world is bad enough but Louis' insecurity about being obviously under dressed because the people inside were basically wearing suit and fancy gowns eating food that probably cost more than Harry's flat is the worst.

"You ok Lou?" Harry asked in concern.

Louis turns his head to him and bit his lip nervously, a really bad habit of his and a really great distraction for Harry because he couldn't help but stare at Louis' lips which were red and raw from the abuse. Harry wouldn't mind biting it as well.

Harry was taken out of his inappropriate thoughts by a sudden beep of a car, a really fancy looking ass car that had gracefully stopped at the side of the road. A valet from the restaurant hopped off from where his station and rushed next to the car. Of course being the cliché that this was, the car door was opened and Mathew stepped out of the car, wearing a fucking suit. Mathew saw Louis and sends him a nervous smile and talked to the valet to take care of his car.

Harry turns to see Louis' reaction and was a bit hurt to see him smile at Mathew back, the nervousness from earlier now gone and ok, Harry wasn't a bit hurt....but it was really fucking killing him.

Mathew was making his way towards them and he was too engrossed to stare at Louis that he didn't really notice Harry which was really unbelievable because Harry was practically glued to Louis' side. Harry watched as Mathew beamed at Louis and his eyes widening when he finally notices Harry.

"Hi Louis...uh Harry?!" he exclaims.

Harry didn't know what was wrong with smart people but Mathew didn't really understand the glare that was directed at him, Harry wanted nothing more than for him to disappear under his glare.

"What is he doing here?" Mathew asked Louis with a curious frown.

"I'll be chaperoning." Harry answered for Louis instead.

Actually, if Louis didn't invite him on his date, Harry would probably follow them secretly like the stalker that he is but Louis didn't have to know that.

Mathew stared at him for a minute before giving him a tight lipped smile. Harry knew that Mathew's probably a little uncomfortable with him being around on his and Louis' date.

"Um ok, but I only made reservation for two?" Mathew asked.

Harry's smug grin vanished when he realized that of course it's only a date for two person, it wasn't planned to bring him along so that only means he'll be stuck outside.

"I wouldn't mind eating at another place, Harry and I are under dressed for such a fancy eating place and I don't feel comfortable leaving Harry outside while we eat." Louis answered.

~*~

Harry knew it was a bad idea at the beginning to just follow Louis and Mathew around because he wouldn't be able to control his overflowing jealousy and urge to claim Louis to himself but Louis saying things like that just makes him want to just kidnap him away from Mathew.

He can't help but stare at Louis, a fond expression written all over his face and he wouldn't give a damn if Mathew notices said expression.

Which of course Mathew did, Mathew was deeply and utterly surprise at the revelation. Mathew had heard warnings, tons of them from his friends about this not being a good idea. They told him about how Harry wouldn't be too happy with his plans to ask Louis out but he shrugged them all off thinking that it was absurd for Harry to like Louis and the other way around. They were obviously a terrible match in Mathew's opinion so seeing it up close on how Louis meant to Harry and Harry's glaringly obvious feeling towards his best friend is not ok with him.

This was supposed to be their date wasn't it? Mathew wasn't giving up easily without a fight.

Harry knew something was suddenly different about Mathew, something changed because he constantly wanted to keep Louis' attention all to himself. Bastard.

Since they didn't eat at the restaurant, they have to go and ride Mathew's fancy car and find another place to have dinner in. Harry doesn't like how Mathew touched Louis' back to help him enter his car; he was really trying hard not to yank or cut his arm off. Harry knew he was just being a gentleman but damn it, the date hasn't even officially started but everything is already pissing him off. Harry sat at the back since he can't really fit himself next to Louis in the passenger side, he was left there to sulk and glare at the back of Mathew's head.

Harry knows it was supposed to be their date but from the looks of it, Mathew was trying hard to make Louis laugh by telling corny jokes that doesn't really sound funny at all but Louis thinks it was so he doubled in laughter.

Seriously, there is something wrong with the both of them.

Harry thanked everything that is holy when the car stopped, he didn't know how long he can suffer being stuffed inside a car with Louis and Mathew sitting in front and bantering like they've known each other for years.

Everyone knows how awkward it is to third wheel on a date and it's a million times worse when it's the person you're so deeply in love with. Why does he torture himself like this, is he some kind of masochist?

Mathew chooses a simple little diner to eat, Louis looks really comfortable with the chosen place and he looked at Harry and gave him a wide grin which he returns immediately, he didn't want Louis to catch him sulking. He wanted Louis to enjoy and not worry about him, as much as he prayed for this to be the worst date of all, he wouldn't let it happen to Louis because like what he said before, Louis Tomlinson deserves the best.

They step out of the car and Harry wanted to laugh because Mathew was waiting for a valet to appear to park his car. It seems little old Mathew isn't used to eating in small diners.

"Um Mathew, you need to park your own car." Louis told him after Mathew grumbles about valet not doing their jobs properly.

Mathew stares at Louis and Harry hid his laugh by coughing which earned him a glare from Mathew.
He smirked at him in return.

"I'll just go find a parking space, why don't you go first Lou and then order some food for 'US'."

Mathew has placed quite an emphasis on the word 'us', Harry just rolled his eyes at him. Good thing Louis kept being oblivious and just nod at Mathew as an answer before pulling Harry's arm and dragging him inside.

Harry smiled at Louis and he can practically feel Mathew's glare at the back of his head but he ignored it in order to feel Louis' hold on his arm, it feels warm unlike Mathew's which was cold.

Harry was expecting to be pulled at a two seat table because he figures Louis would want to have some kind of privacy while having dinner with Mathew and he'll be off to the front where he can sit alone and watch as Louis enjoys himself, he'll probably drink a glass or two of vodka to try and ease the pain of seeing Louis on a date with someone that wasn't him.

Oh god, Harry hated himself for thinking that. It was all gross and cheesy and is the same things a 13 year old teenage girl would think. Is that what Harry has become? A prepubescent teenager pining?

What he wasn't expecting was Louis ignoring the empty tables and dragging Harry to the front and took a seat. He didn't object though because this just means he can still eat with Louis right beside him and maybe he could dream that this is a date between the two of them, no Mathew to ruin the scene.

"Louis? Why are you sitting here in front and not on a private booth?"

Speak of the devil.

Harry looks at his back and saw Mathew standing right behind them with a confused frown, when Mathew notices Harry's look, he glares at him. Harry just gave him a triumphant smile which translates to 'Louis didn't want to be alone with you hahahaha, it suck doesn't it?'.

"I just don't feel like it and this turning chairs looks fun." Louis answers him as he spins on his chair which was so adorable Harry's heart was hurting at the cuteness of it.

"Ok then, if that's what you want." Mathew said uneasily as he took a seat on Louis' left, eyeing Harry seriously.

Louis was sat in the middle with Harry on his right and Mathew on his left. Mathew looks really out of place since he's still wearing his suit and some truck drivers eating were snickering at him from the other side.

"So what are you guys ordering?" Mathew asked as he looked at the menu with a weird look.

It seems he doesn't have a single clue on to what to get.

Meanwhile, Louis has a thoughtful look on his face as he checked the contents of the menu one by one; he then turns to Harry.

"Do you think their burgers are good Harry?" he asked.

Harry didn't know if he should jump with glee or remain smug because Louis was asking Harry and not Mathew and this was supposed to be them spending time together. It seems Louis was giving him more of his attention now; he was elated at the thought.

"I think the burgers are just fine Lou, maybe you'll like a side of chips with it as well."

"Oh, you're right, that does sound yummy." Louis agreed before calling the waitress' attention.

The waitress came and took their orders, promising to return with their food in a while so they were left there alone.

"So Lou, have you talked to Mr. Bruce about the next competition on spring?" Mathew asked.

Louis seems to brighten up at the question and he turns his attention towards Mathew as he excitedly spoke to him. Harry could see and feel Mathew's smirk from where he is and he grumbles under his breath.

So this is how he wanted it then, for them to try and get Louis' attention as they wait for their order? Harry has to give it to him; he has the guts to compete with him.

Well then, let the games begin.
