Louis never thought he’d give up the city, thought it was critical to who he was as a person and an artist. Harry nods thoughtfully, humming along in a way that suggests to Louis he might know precisely what he means, as Louis speaks aloud for the first time about how shockingly quickly he feels at home here. He’s so relieved to feel he’s made the right choice. Although he confesses he might get bored soon. “Well, we’ll have to make sure that doesn’t happen.” And Louis thinks this man, despite his unending politeness and sincerity, might well be able to back that up. No one with a smirk this practiced could be boring.
Louis’ new home comes with a garage, a garden, and a dream man next door. The only thing standing in the way of their happily ever after is his neighbour’s stubborn insistence that his vintage motorbike continue to rust away rather than let Louis get it back into driving shape.
Louis can only hope his plan to repair it behind Harry’s back will repair the rift it’s created between them, too.
