Writing you First

Summary:

When Louis is ten he meets a boy named Lestat (around nine years old) in his bible class. They become fast friends and shenanigans ensue! Every chapter in this AU is one of Louis' journal entries, starting when he is about 10 years old, chronicling his friendship with Lestat and the relationships with his family and friends.

Notes:

When I was reading The Vampire Lestat i started wondering what it would have been like if child-Lestat met child-Louis. Would they be friends? I think they would! I think they'd be absolutely fascinated by each other! And i know that they are born a century apart and that they could never have met at that age, but who cares. I haven't written fic in a long time so i'm trying! This is an AU and it doesn't make a lot of sense, but it was mostly written for the fluff of it and for the Louis/Lestat and Louis/his siblings scenes. I have a different, larger, deeper, better thought out fic in mind that i want to write after this. But for now, let's avoid thinking about the logistics and enjoy the fun!!

Disclaimer: I'm not American or an authority on these particular subjects, so I'm making a lot of assumptions and I'm bending reality a bit to make the fantasy happen. Then again all mistakes are mine and please point them out if you find them.

Now lets finally get to the fluff and the silliness (and the angst, its unavoidable (omg ive talked enough))!!!!

Chapter 1: 4 september 1887 (10 yo)

Chapter Text

 

Today Paul came with us to bible class. He whined a lot until he convinced both Grace and I that he could come. He is six anyways so he is old enough to go. I was first afraid that he was gonna to find it boring. Sometimes I did when I was little, but he really liked it! He didn't speak the whole time, but when we were done he couldn't stop talking about everything he’d learned. And there wasn't really much taught!  We just went over the year and had one story. But he liked it so much! Maybe he’ll be a priest someday!? Future Louis, when he becomes a priest, remember I predicted it!!

 

It’s the new school year so there are some changes happening. There were lots of kids who were gonna do their communion this year, they all looked so nervous when they were called in front of Father Henry. But he was really nice! I did my communion two years ago, and it was a lot less scary than I had thought it would be. Father Henry is really nice, it wasn't difficult at all. I wanted to reassure the other children but I don't know them very well, so I didn't. 

 

Father Henry told us that in the next week we were going to have some new children in our class (other than the normal ones that have just turned old enough). The orphans that live in the monastery are going to be joining us apparently. I think that will be fun. I hope they are nice. Maybe I'll make a friend! I hope I will, I don't have many. I have Jonah, and Peter, and Grace of course and also Paul, but I'd like to meet someone new, who I haven't known since I was little anyways.
