Louis folded the mask up over his eyes and bit his bottom lip as he stared at the fire in front him. He did not mean for this to happen. In fact it was the opposite of what was supposed to happen. And yet, here he was standing in front of a raging fire with his friends.
“The fire didn’t start itself!” Liam whispered, which was more like a yell. “Which one of you did it?”
It was Louis but he wasn’t going to take the blame. “It was Niall.”
“What!” Niall did yell.
Everyone told him to shut up.
“I didn’t light it!”
Louis obviously lit it.
Louis gasped and clutched at his chest. “I would never!”
“You would,” the entire room chorused.
“Okay, what the fuck!” Louis threw his hands up in the air.
“This is just like you, Louis. Why must you always make a mess and then put the blame on Niall. What has he ever done to you?” Liam complained defensively.
Louis was very offended at all his friends - so called friends he scoffs internally - turning on him. Sure, it was his fault, just like the many messes in the past few months, but still!!
“I should find some better friends,” He huffed as he watched the fire.
“This is not the time to stand here arguing, is someone going to do something?” Harry said, waving his arms wildly.
“Why don’t you do something if you have an idea?” Louis bit back.
“Well, we should probably call someone.” Harry replies
“Who are you gonna call? Ghostbusters?” Louis says sarcastically.
“I think Harry means the fire department, Louis.” Liam says
Oh, that would make sense. “Oh, yeah. Okay.”
The fire started just small, but now as the boys keep arguing, it’s growing larger and yeah, maybe they should call the fire department.
“Anyone have their phone on them?”
“Uh guys, if any of you are going to make the call, you should hurry,” Niall said pointing his head towards the fire and showing it was spreading faster.
“Oh shit!” Harry said, picking up his phone and dialing the fire department.
A couple of minutes later, two men entered the room and used a fire extinguisher to put down the fire.
“What happened here?” One of them asked.
The 3 boys looked at Louis immediately. The man fumbled on his shirt and mumbled something no one could understand.
“Say again?” Liam asked.
“I uh… I was trying to…”
The firemen looked at Louis expectantly. He didn’t know if he should tell the truth, it was quite embarrassing and he didn’t know if he wanted to throw anyone else under the bus. He did get them into this mess so he decided to come clean. With a sigh, he pulled off his batman mask fully and turned to face the rather attractive firemen. On second thought, could he flirt their way out of this? No, no, he had to focus.
“I was trying to burn pictures of my ex-boyfriend,” he finally admitted. “Look, his name is Zayn and he’s gorgeous okay? Devastatingly so but he’s always so busy and he never has time for me so I am trying to get over him. We figured-” his friends scoffed. “Okay I figured if I burned his pictures then it would hurt less. Turns out, it hasn’t.”
“Did you get this idea from Friends?” one of the firemen asked.
“Did you?” Harry yelled.
“No!” Louis gasped. “Of course not.”
No one believed him.
“I just didn’t want to hurt anymore and-”
“And? What? You decided to put all of us in danger? Instead of I don’t know talking to one of us?” Liam shouted.
“Yeah we’re here for you Lou but instead of talking to us you take these ideas from shows and buzzfeed on how to get over an ex” Niall said.
“Yeah like-” Harry started.
“Okay, okay boys, that’s enough, we need to get back to the station but unfortunately we have to take a report of this and deal with whatever this is.” The hot fireman said exasperated.
“Here are some forms that we need you to fill” the other fireman handed Louis a bunch of papers.
“All of this?” Louis asked, incredulous about how thick the pile was.
“It’s mostly just signatures and initials. It shouldn’t take too long,” one fireman explained.
“Okay, thanks.”
The three boys huddled in close to Louis in a makeshift group hug.
“Alright, alright, alright! That’s enough, I’m not that desperate for affection,” Louis said, getting out of the hug and straightening his clothes and fixing his hair.
“Yeah, right. You just needed to set the whole house on fire to let your anger out. That’s fine.” Liam said, showing the place around.
“I said we clean this mess up and head to the bar, have some beers and play snooker, what do you guys think?” Niall asked.
“Fine for me, what do you say, Lou?” Harry asked.
“Definitely,” Louis smiled and then covered his face.”You guys are really too nice. I almost just burned our whole place.”
“Don’t remind them, Lou,” Harry said, elbowing him.
Liam sighed deeply, shook his head, and then said, “Let’s put that all behind us and support the one and only Tommo.”
Niall cheered and started tugging on Louis’ arm. “Let’s go!”
“I have to fix my hair!” Louis screeched. Everyone silently rolled their eyes as he ran off to the bathroom to adjust his fringe, but eventually they were on their way out the door to their favorite pub. “I just hope I don’t run into Zayn. If I do, Niall has to kiss me to make him jealous.”
Niall squinted his eyes in assessment before nodding and agreeing. “Might as well. I’ll grab your bum, too.”

Propaganda
Basil Rathbone (the Sherlock Holmes movies, The Adventures of Robin Hood, The Court Jester)—ok most people will tell you he's the best Sherlock Holmes ever but I crushed hard on him when I saw him as the villain for The Court Jester. best swordsman in all of Hollywood at his time.
Cantinflas (Around the World in 80 Days)—I expect him to lose immediately but I'd be mad if nobody else nominated him, he's a very very famous icon-level Mexican comedian, in around the world in 80 days he climbs a balloon, fights a train, rides an elephant, wears baggy little gray trousers the whole time while being cheeky and cute, etc etc.
This is round 1 of the bracket. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage man.
