Summary
“Yes.” Louis nods, crisp. “You said footie was easy, that it was just kicking a ball around. Balls can be difficult to handle,” he says with a wink.
Nick doesn’t laugh. He coughs, and hides it into his hand. That’s not a laugh, no matter what Louis’ smug look seems to be hinting. “I stand by it,” he says.
Louis’ jaw drops. “That’s it,” he says. “Let’s go play, now.”
Nick laughs, outright. “No!”
“Why not?” Louis asks, leaning close enough that Nick could kiss him, if he wanted. Good thing he definitely doesn’t want to, no matter how nice Louis’ hair might look. “Afraid you’ll lose to a child?”
And that’s how Nick ends up outside in the freezing fall weather without a proper jacket, Louis kicking a football at him again and again.
(nick is louis' teacher, but that doesn't stop him wanting.)
