    Summary

    “I want to see you again.” said Louis bluntly.
    “What?” Harry blinked.
    “Come on, Harold.” he said, leaning in. “You’re getting shy on me now? After last night?”
    “I want to see you again too.” he scrunched up his nose. "So much."
    “But?”
    Harry took a deep shaky breath.
    “I don’t want to be in a relationship, Louis.” blue eyes met green. “I really, really don’t.”
    Louis just seemed to study him, still stroking the skin of Harry's shoulder absentmindedly.
    “Can I be blunt with you, Harry?”
    “Always.”
    “First, it's fine by me because I have absolutely no interest in a relationship either.” at that, Harry perked up slightly and it made Louis smile softly. “But can I ask why you don’t? Because you seem pretty adamant about that. In a way I have not seen in a long time."
    Harry swallowed dryly and looked down again.
    “It’s complicated.”

    Or - Harry is a vet, Louis a soldier. They met one night at a bar and the connection is immediate. They've both been pretty hurt before though and don't want anything serious so they decide to keep things casual... because that always goes well, right?
