Chapter Text
My hands shaking at my sides, sweat tickling down my forehead. I'm constantly nibbling at my nails, a certain sign that I was in fact nervous. Thousand thoughts ran wild through my head, as we approach the Holmes Chapel orphanage house. What if he don't like me? What If he's going to be rude and impolite? What if this, what if that? You're probably confuse right now, yeah? Well today my mum and I are going to the orphanage to adopt a kid, which means I will be getting a new step brother soon! Mum won't tell anything about him expert that his name is Louis Tomlinson and he's only sixteen years old. I'm genuinely nervous, and these thoughts aren't really help my nerves right now. What if he doesn't want to be seen with a thirteen years old? Oh boy here comes the what if's again, yay! *please note the sarcasm*
For like the millionth time in this week I once again question my mum about my soon-to-be step brother, "Mummy, what's he like? Is he rude and impolite or fun an-" but of course my mum interrupted and answered in her oh so famous response.
"Now you'll just have to wait and see, now won't you?" she finished with a wink, *sigh* that what she has been saying since she announced this great news a week ago.
"But mum I want-" and interrupted yet once again
"Now Harry just wait and see, love" she quickly added "you'll love him"
"Yeah mum, but that sti-" will she bloody hell stop interrupting me?!
"Its a surprise, dear. So wait, okay?"
"Will you stop interr-" for the love of, it wasn't even about him this time!
"Harold, just wait and see! You'll know soon enough, yeah?" I just nodded in response, there's no need to comment back. That argument could go last for god knows how long, my mum and her stubbornness! Urgg! The rest of the way was in complete silent expect for our breathing of course. The orphanage was in eye sight now, and my breathing quickly became uneven. As we reached the black wooden door waiting for someone to ask, my mind went back to Louis again. What if he's shy and awkward? What if he's- my thoughts were cut off my someone opening the door, which I assume was the care giver here.
"Hello you must be Mrs. Styles, yeah?" the kind lady asked mum. She appeared to be in her late twenties early thirties, her light brown was put in a messy bun that rested at the top of her head. Kate's, her name that I soon learned, hazel eyes than landed upon me
"Ah, and you must be little Harold"
"It's Harry and I'm not little" I muttered under my breath, mum heard and elbowed me in the side rather telling me to be polite.
"I mean yes ma'am that's me!" I said back cheerily, Kate just flashed me a fake smile and than predecreased to talk with mother. Well than I thought to myself as I just stood awkwardly besides mum well the two ladies discussed everything. I decided to observe this place, there were a tiny living room to my right with kids pointing their heads' out looking towards us, then there was a spiral staircase to my left. But what caught my complete attention was that at the very top of the stairs was a lonely boy who looked to be in his teen years. I couldn't see his face fully because he was hiding in the shadows of the stairs. We locked eyes for a few seconds and everything around us seem to just automatically stop moving, like time just freeze right then and there. I was brought back to reality when I felt my mum gently shaking my shoulder capturing my full attention. I tore my eyes from that mysterious boy towards my mum who was grinning merrily down on me. I rise my eyebrow in questioning, she bent down and whispered in my ear
"Ready to meet your new step brother, love?" I frantically nodded my head, than once again turned back to the mysterious boy. He wasn't at the top of the stairs anymore, my eyes anxiously searched for the strange boy, but failed to spot him. With a sigh I turned back towards my mum waiting patiently for Kate to return with my new step brother, I let my mind wander to what that was when that boy and I locked gazes. It couldn't mean anything, right? I mean I could just be curious about him, yeah that's it! I was just captive by his mysteriousness, like he was hiding from the world or hiding something from those around him.
Finally, after what felt like ages which really was a few minutes, she arrives back with a tall slim boy. I recognize him as the boy from the stairs, now that he was in the clear and I could see him better, He had chestnut brown hair swept off to the side, greyish-blueish eyes, and those pink full kissable lips that I could so kiss rig- wait what? Kissable lips? I'm like seriously losing my mind right now, I noticed that he was wearing red chicos and a tight red/white stripes shirt that hug his torso. Wow he looks so sexy and that shirt makes him ten times as sexier, I licked my lips as I continued to stare at his perfectly fit bod- woah! Seriously, what is wrong with me today?! That's my step brother that I'm thinking in that way about, it must be from being in this place so long. Yeah that's it! Finally, snapping out of my trance I did happen to notice Louis checking me out like I was moments ago. He then looked up capturing my eyes in his amazing blue ones, deep inside his I spotted a bit of lust? Louis immediately smirked as I quickly looked down at the tilted floor as I felt my cheeks burn bright red with heat, finding my converses quite interesting right now. I heard a deep chuckle escape his throat and god let me tell you.. that's the most sexiest noise that I have ever heard in my whole life. A cough brought both Lou and I back to reality from our little "moment" my gaze went to my mum immediately as she smiled like a Cheshire cat towards us both. I pray that mum did not just witness what happen between Lou and I, I mean I don't even know what that was between us.. he's my step brother for crying out loud and I'm thinking about how sexy, good looking he looks in that shirt and oh those pink luscious kissab- okay you get my point! Wow I really need to get out of this place, and get a bit of fresh air to clear my heads of those thoughts. Shaking my head completely clear of my wild inappropriate thoughts and focusing my full attention towards my mum informing her to go on and speak, that she has my full attention now/
"Harry, meet your new step brother Louis Tomlinson" I risked it and turned my head slightly towards Louis to find him grinning at me like a fool, but deep in his eyes were lust as he continues to eye my body up and down. Causing me to quickly look back at mum while a blush takes over my entire face now. Mum adds on while smiling cheerfully
"You both are going to be the best of step brothers!"
Little did she know we would be more than just step brothers.
