LIVING alone with louis is both easier and harder than stella had initially thought.

easier, because they fall into a consistent rhythm that is comfortable to both of them. it doesn't necessarily seem so different than when william was still living with them. of course, they argue more about which food to order and which movies or shows to watch, but it is so much easier than stella had thought it would be to stay with louis alone.

but then again, it's that much harder.

because she cannot stop her heart from beating like crazy whenever she's around louis. because when he reaches up from behind her to grab something from the fridge or cabinet, there is no william in the background to break the moment and force stella to calm her breathing. because even though they argue over everything, louis will always give in to her in the end. whether it be about food or what to watch, he gives in to what she wants. every. single. time.

fuck him for being perfect.

stella's not too sure she can survive the full two months of william being gone if she's like this after only one week.

she looks up from her coffee mug to find louis sitting on the opposite end of the couch, a book that she recommended in his hands. daisy jones & the six.

his eyes are entirely focused on the words on the page, giving stella a chance to subtly glance over his soft features. there is a slight pinch between his brows that is absolutely adorable, and stella wants to reach out to smooth it out. her eyes trace the sharp line of his jaw and his pretty pink lips.

groaning internally, she sets down her coffee and picks up her guitar from beside her. she strums a few strings, letting the music consume her the way it always does. she plays one of her unreleased songs—the one she wrote with finneas. "hate to be lame."

it is, obviously, about louis, and she doesn't know why but this moment seems to encapsulate the feeling of that song so well.

as louis sits there, nodding along to the soft music while reading, and stella feels the music surround her, both of them are entirely at peace. it is oddly comforting, just sitting together, doing their own thing, but in each other's company.

at some point, louis stops reading and just listens to the music and to stella humming along lightly. there is something so consoling about her voice, the sounds of the guitar, just her.

"i've always wanted to learn guitar," he muses when she takes a break.

she looks up in surprise, not expecting him to have been listening.

"really?" she says. "want me to teach you?"

he smiles and scoots a bit closer to her. her skin prickles with the heat of his body, her heart fluttering as he stares at her through dark lashes completely unaware of the fact that stella is slowly but surely bursting into flames.

"of course, i want the master to teach me."

stella scoffs. "don't know about 'master' but i'll try my best. after all, you were the one who taught me piano."

louis lets out a soft chuckle. "you remember that?"

she rolls her eyes jokingly. "of course i do. i couldn't have learned any of those songs without you."

he smiles, knocking his shoulder against hers. "you were a quick learner. didn't even need me."

biting back a smile, she says, "here."

she hands the guitar to louis, placing it in the right position. he moves his right hand over the neck while his left arm goes over the body, the tips of his fingers touching the strings.

"i'll teach you c major. it's one of the easiest chords."

"alright, master."

stella flicks his forehead before explaining where to put his hands.

"first put your index finger on the first fret of the second string."

louis moves his hand. "like this?"

she shakes her head. "higher. the fret above that."

he moves his finger again, but it's still in the wrong position. he huffs in frustration and she giggles, patting his shoulder.

"it's okay, lou. here, let me just show you."

she grabs his right hand and guides his index finger to the proper place. his hand is warm, and it takes everything in stella not to intertwine their fingers together.

"ok then you move your middle finger here. and your ring finger right there. perfect. now you have to strum the fifth string."

louis moves his thumb across the first string instead of the fifth, making the sound come out all wonky. he tries again, but this sound comes out even worse. he groans, causing stella to laugh. he narrows his eyes at her unamusedly.

taking pity on him, she helps him find the correct string and places his thumb there.

"now try."

he strums the string as he presses down on the others, and this time, the sound comes out right.

a huge grin lights up his face. "i got it!"

without warning, he pulls stella in for a one-sided hug with the guitar between them. her heart thumps. breathless, she hugs him back. when they pull away, he reaches out to ruffle her hair.

stella's heart drops because that is such a brotherly thing to do; will does it to her all the time. she isn't sure how to feel, but she's not about to dwell on it now.

"great job!" she exclaims instead.

and they spend the rest of the afternoon playing the guitar and laughing at each other.
