Louis leaned back in his chair so he could see the time over the oven, and was surprised to find it was only a little past 9. It was earlier than he was usually up on a Saturday, but Diego clearly wasn’t expecting anyone, so who just showed up at someone’s house unannounced this early in the morning? It had to be family, right?
The sound of the door opening and two voices speaking loudly and quickly in Spanish was what finally got Diego holding his palm out to Louis and saying, “Just… stay here, yes? Yes,” before scurrying off towards the front door.
Diego’s voice joined in with the rapidfire Spanish, and that was kind of hot, actually. Louis really enjoyed hearing the differences in his vocal tone and inflections when he was speaking Spanish versus English, but he needed to focus.
Mostly he needed to focus on the fact that there were strangers here. Strangers that Diego might not mind running into whilst only wearing a t-shirt and pants, but Louis sure did. Especially since Diego was at least in a clean top. Louis was wearing the one he found on the floor that Diego had been wearing last night. And oh god… his hair. He had no idea what his hair looked like. He was definitely not in any state to be meeting anyone right now.
The issue was, if Louis was going to make it to the bedroom without being noticed, he had to hope that they hadn’t come much further inside than the front door or they would definitely be able to see him. Curse the modern aesthetic of an open floorplan.
Taking a deep breath, Louis decided to risk it. After all, both of the surprise visitors seemed to be quite fond of Diego based on their tone of voice, but considering Louis knew maybe ten words in Spanish, he had no idea what anyone was saying.
Louis started trying to creep his way towards Diego’s bedroom, but he hadn’t made it very far when he realized the three of them were definitely incredibly close to the kitchen and there was now silence.
“Mijo, who is this?”
Louis froze, his back still turned towards the three people in the living room. Because what was he supposed to do? How exactly was Diego going to explain Louis to these people who clearly cared for him?
“Ma, Pa…”
Diego’s voice was close to Louis now, so he turned and looked over at Diego, who put his arm around Louis and turned him towards the strangers… who were apparently his parents.
“This is Louis.” After a brief pause where he squeezed Louis’ shoulders a bit, Diego then said, “We only recently started seeing each other.”
Louis tensed, doing his best to school his face, but this was a lot right now. They only just met each other last night, for fuck’s sake, and now he’s not only meeting the man’s parents, but he’s being introduced as his boyfriend?

i love six o clock because the clock looks so stupid. "|" like get real
Tumblr constantly has gems like this where someone says something seemingly inane but it’s actually a thought we’ve all had at some point in our lives
We joke and all but some of you really forget that people hate women.
Seeing people wonder “how can people say stuff like this” and “why does [x misogynistic thing] keep happening” is a bit disorienting because when you take a five second pause to think about it you can realize quite immediately that it’s because people hate women. Like guys… people HATE women.

I feel like Jack O’Connell, from Skins, sums it up pretty well. [A$AP Rocky is his style pin-up] Louis: every time you see him, he’s looking on point. [And what about Beyoncé in the denim?] Yes! That would be pretty cool — and also be great for sales.
