A week later and just a week before christmas, Louis found himself going from place to place trying to find christmas presents for everybody having decided with Harry that they would be giving them presents to each of them from both of them except their parents. That meant double the presents for their parents and just one for the rest yet there was that tiny voice in the back of Louis' head that maybe they should just each get them separate presents. When he was done he had forced Harry to help him wrap them ignoring his complaints and when they were done Harry had fallen asleep in between mountains of wrapping paper he had wasted when he kept cutting it too short.

Des had decided that year to give everybody a full week off so they could spend christmas together surprising everybody when he had never done that before. Harry had used those days to sleep much to Louis' relief when three months of celibacy were starting to affect him. While Harry slept like a baby he would use that time to have a quick wank in the bathroom but as the days passed by it wasn't enough needing more than that.

He had even taken to looking up stuff online when he was sure Harry wouldn't catch him but everytime he was about to click buy, he would chicken out and close the tab before deleting his history blushing a deep red. He wanted so bad to ask Harry to reconsider their agreement of no sëx but resisted not wanting to blur the lines between them since they were friends and he didn't want to ruin what they had.

It started getting unbearable until he started fingëring himself while showering finding some relief but it wasn't enough when his dainty fingers wouldn't quite reach where he wanted them to reach always getting off to the thought of Harry's fingers deep inside of him.

On his birthday he was woken up by Harry who as soon as he had opened his eyes started singing the happy birthday song to him holding a cupcake with a single candle on it. When Harry was done he watched with a tiny smile how Louis was still trying to wake up then slowly sat up blowing out the candle.

"I don't know how old you are now but happy birthday, Lou." Harry said taking a seat next to him on the bed.

"Twenty six, pretty old if I'm honest." Louis shrugged wearing a tiny smile then stretched noticing Harry was wearing nothing but black briefs making his groin feel a little tight.

"Happy twenty sixth birthday! I'll be twenty six next year too." Harry said handing him the cupcake so he could eat it.

"Thank you, this was such a great surprise to wake up to so thank you." Louis said quickly grabbing a pillow to put it on his lap to hide his little problem and to use as a makeshift table to put his cupcake on and eat it.

"No problem! I'm gonna go take a shower, mum wants us there early and it's almost noon." Harry said then got up walking out of the bedroom scratching on his left side near his belly button as he did so.

As soon as Harry was gone Louis willed himself to think about other gross things until his problem went away then ate his cupcake as slow as he could glad that Harry had gotten him a vanilla one. When he was done he got up and did the bed getting a call from Zayn wishing him a happy birthday since he was with his family then calls from Liam and Niall surprising him a bit but appreciated it anyway.

When Harry got out of the shower he went straight in since it was getting late and by the time he was done after a quick wank he got out to get ready. They ended up leaving almost at four when they took their time to tidy up the house a bit. They had to go back and forth a few times to get all of the presents in Harry's car since he would be driving there and when they got to Anne's house everybody was already there.

" 'Ncle Lou!" Melissa shouted as soon as she had seen Louis walking into the house.

She dropped her baby doll to lift her arms up into the air wanting Louis to pick her up wrapping them around his neck as soon as Louis had done so. Mason and Chase ran to Harry jumping up and down in excitement seeing all the christmas presents he was holding then followed him to the christmas tree that already had a lot underneath.

"Look at you princess! You look gorgeous." Louis said loving the tiny red and white dress she was wearing.

"Sweetheart, so glad you could make it! Happy birthday!" Anne smiled reaching to hug him followed by his mother.

"Happy birthday love, you look as handsome as ever." Jay smiled hugging him after Anne let go.

"Thank you! You both look gorgeous." Louis complimented them earning thankful smiles, "Where's the rest?"

"Des and Christian are out buying wine and Gemma is in the kitchen with the girls." Jay answered.

"I'm gonna go see them." Louis said and was about to start walking there when Anne stopped him.

"She's a bit upset...she accidentally broke the wine bottles and hurt her hand, just letting you know." Anne said seeing Louis nodding.

Louis gave Melissa to Anne after kissing her cheek then quickly made his way to the kitchen seeing Gemma sitting on a barstool surrounded by his sisters still sniffling a bit. Lottie had her hand on her shoulder while Fizz rubbed her back and the twins were trying to cheer her up.

"Gemma." Louis softly said earning her attention.

"Lou." Gemma sniffled.

"We're gonna go with the kids. Gemma, Louis' gonna stay here." Lottie said and soon they were gone leaving Louis and Gemma alone.

Louis made his way to her and wrapped his arm around her shoulder letting her rest her head on his shoulder never noticing Harry who had stopped as soon as he had seen she was crying. He hid trying to see what was going on and after Chase had told him about his mummy breaking a bottle and felt his chest painfully constricting and the tears stinging his eyes as soon as he heard when she started crying.

"I'm so useless." Gemma cried, her cries getting a bit louder when he felt Louis' arms around her.

"You are not useless Gemm, it was an accident." Louis hugged her feeling himself choking up a bit feeling a lump in his throat just wanting her to see her smiling again

"I am, I can't even take care of my own kids and sometimes I don't know why Christian even married me...why is he still with me when I'm a burden. What did he see in me when I'm nothing but trouble."

"He loves you and you're not a burden!" Louis fiercely said wanting her to understand, "He loves you so so much."

"I love him too." Gemma sniffled then smiled a little. "We love each other as much as I'm sure you and Harry love each other."

Louis felt the words getting stuck in his throat then sighed in relief when Harry walked in wearing a blank expression that had him furrowing his brow.

"Gemma, could I talk to you?" Harry asked smiling a little when she nodded.

"I'm gonna go see if mum and Anne need help with something." Louis said then left leaving them alone.

When he got to the living room he sat down on the couch next to Anne and his mum who were exchanging recipes while his sisters entertained the kids. He sighed wishing all he had in that moment was real, wishing none of it was a lie then wondered what it would feel like if it really was real.

When Des and Christian arrived each holding a bag, Harry and Gemma walked out of the kitchen and he couldn't help but notice the way they were holding onto each other and their noses were a bit red. He never mentioned it when Harry decided to take the kids outside to play leaving the rest inside to get everything ready.

By the time it was time for dinner it was filled with loud chattering and laughs making it the best of Louis' birthdays so far. The best part was when Harry made a toast in honor of Louis' birthday making him blush a deep red getting teased by their mothers.

"So...to Louis!" Harry finished lifting up his glass of wine then sipped on it seeing Louis doing the same.

"Time for the cake!" Anne said then made her way to the kitchen coming back a few minutes later with the biggest cake Louis had ever seen setting it down on the table in front of Louis.

"Anne!" Louis exclaimed completely touched, " You didn't, you didn't have to."

"Your mum did as much as I did, sweetheart." Anne shrugged.

"Thank you!" Louis smiled.

Harry wrapped his arm around his waist as they sang happy birthday to him and when they were done he blew out the candles getting hugs and many happy birthdays as well as a few presents. They ended up staying there until midnight and wishing each other a merry christmas they finally left getting home already exhausted from the long day taking the christmas presents that their families had given them after opening them there.

The following morning Louis woke up hörny as hell and as slow as he could and careful not to wake Harry up he made his way to the bathroom locking himself in there. He walked back and forth not really knowing what to do then stopped in front of the sink opening the drawers trying to find some lube but ended up finding condoms on the very back in the one that belonged to Harry on his side. The box was halfway finished and after checking the expiration date he found them still good to use, he then put them back and continued searching until he found a small bottle of lube.

He glanced at the door and trying to ignore his embarrassment he lowered his pajama bottoms wrapping his hand around his cöck stroking a few times. After a few seconds he poured some lube on his hand and once again started stroking himself until he was fully hard just wanting to be filled up. He pondered for a few seconds until he decided to fück it and after pouring lube on his fingers he reached behind his back and slowly inserted a finger inside of him letting out a small gasp. He pumped it in and out for a few minutes then added a second finger while stroking himself yet it wasn't enough for him.

When he was finally three fingers in his thoughts drifted to Harry remembering that night he had fücked him so so good right on the floor like nobody, which had just been Collin, had ever done before. The thought of Harry fücking him was enough to make him stroke himself faster making him cüm chanting Harry's name over and over fighting the urge to go back to their bedroom and fück himself on his cöck since he was still asleep. He carefully removed his fingers out of his äss then cleaned himself up before washing his hands then his face brushing his teeth after, he then put the lube back in Harry's drawer hoping he wouldn't notice.

"Lou? You in there?"

Louis startled when he heard Harry knocking on the door then his voice as he frantically tried to make everything and himself look normal. He was still a bit sweaty cursing when he dropped the mouthwash on the floor quickly bending down to pick it up feeling himself still a bit stretched out.

"I'm here! I was...I was peeing." Louis answered wincing when his voice sounded a bit high.

"Okay, I'm gonna go make breakfast then we can open the presents." Harry said referring to the present they had gotten for each other.

"Yeah, sure." Louis said.

When Louis walked out of the bathroom Harry was already in the kitchen making pancakes only wearing his old SpongeBob pajamas low on his hips once again arousing Louis who tried to hide it. He helped him by taking the plates and cups out then the orange juice pouring it into the cups. He set them down on the bar waiting for Harry to be finished and after he was done, he set a plate full of sunny side up eggs and bacon then sat down to eat in complete silence.

Louis found himself eating more than Harry but could care less knowing Harry didn't give a fuck about how much he ate unlike Collin who used to comment on it. When they were finished Louis helped him clean up while Harry got his camera ready to take a few pictures and once Louis was done they made their way towards the christmas tree and sat down in front of it to open the present they had gotten for each other.

"Louis! You didn't have to." Harry gasped as soon as he had opened his present seeing it was a leather strap watch already so in love with it. Louis just had a great taste.

"You like it?" Louis nervously asked fiddling with his tiny fingers.

"I love it! Best present ever." Harry happily said reaching to hug Louis without even thinking smiling when Louis wrapped his arms around him, "Now open yours." Harry let go smiling as he did so and watched as Louis opened the present with his tiny hands.

"No way!" Louis gasped looking down at the present then back at Harry with watery eyes. "How did you...oh my god I love it! You have no idea how long I've been wanting to get the whole entire collection."

"Well now you can sit down and have a marathon." Harry chuckled almost losing his balance when Louis threw himself at him and hugged him murmuring thank you's.

"Get ready 'cause Friends is all we're gonna watch today." Louis said still holding onto Harry then slowly let go after realizing he had been hugging him for far too long.

"Fine with me, I'm gonna go make the popcorn." Harry got up and if Louis stared at his well defined back then no one had to know.

When Harry got back Louis was already on the couch with a blanket covering him and the first season of Friends ready on the tv, he let Harry sit next to him covering him with the blanket grabbing the bowl of popcorn putting it on his lap. They got through four episodes when Louis started feeling a bit uncomfortable and the fact that Harry was next to him literally pressed up against him wasn't helping at all.

He tried to ignore it but when Harry leaned against him feeling his hot breath on his neck flashes of that night popped into his head feeling himself getting harder by the second. When the episode was over Harry sat up and stretched his arms up giving Louis a full view making him remember when Harry had held him up against him while fingëring him. It was slowly killing him.

"I'm gonna go take a quick shower, be right back." Harry said then got up heading to the bedroom to get his clothes leaving Louis alone.

Louis fought the urge to touch himself or go after Harry and beg him to fück him but when he saw him walking out of their bedroom and into the bathroom with only a towel wrapped around his waist all of that went out the window. He was a nervous mess as he made his way to the bathroom but also felt some sort of excitement deep in his tummy taking his clothes off until he was fully naked standing in front of the door hoping it wasn't locked.

He twisted the doorknob letting out a breath he didn't know he had been holding when the door easily opened and slowly made his way in feeling the hot steam around his body and hearing Harry whistling a random tune. He got closer and closer trying not to think about getting rejected yet prepared himself in case it happened. He stopped right in front of the shower curtain barely making out Harry's tall and slim figure then yanked it open hearing Harry letting out a girly scream followed by him trying to cover his body.

"Louis! Oh my god you scared me! What are you..." Harry trailed off as soon as he noticed Louis was completely naked and already half hard, he almost stopped breathing at the sight of Louis in front of him still as beautiful as ever. Just like he would always remember almost everyday.

He took a step back when Louis shamelessly got in the shower with him seeing his hair getting wet feeling his arms wrapping around his waist. He tried to push him away feeling confused as to what Louis was doing there fully naked completely forgetting about it when Louis rolled his hips against his own and when he looked down Louis kissed him pushing him against the wall.

He kissed back without hesitating feeling himself and Louis getting harder the more he rolled his hips then lost all control when Louis trailed kisses down the right side of his neck. He grabbed him by the back of his thighs and picked him up turning them around so Louis' back was against the wall going back to kissing him until his eyes snapped open and was quick to put Louis down and take a step back.

"Wh- Why'd you stop?" Louis panted taking a step forward.

"Wha- What are we doing? I- I thought we- we aren't supposed to do this." Harry stammered trying to control himself but it was getting harder when Louis only kept getting closer.

Louis made his way to him and as soon as he was standing right in front of him tangled his fingers through Harry's hair whispering on his ear, "Fück it."

Louis didn't waste time to kiss him again pulling on his hair slowly walking backwards stopping when he felt the shower wall against his back and Harry spreading his legs open with his knee. He opened his eyes when Harry pulled away but soon Harry's fingers were touching his lips quickly sucking on them understanding that that's what he wanted him to do. He made sure to wet them enough stopping as soon as Harry took them out kissing him once again, he gasped when Harry's finger traced around his rim before pushing it in all the way to the knuckle.

"Have you-" Harry started.

"Just- Just fück me." Louis interrupted squeaking when Harry once again picked him up and got out of the shower setting him on top of the counter making him hiss at the coldness.

He wrapped a hand around his cöck while Harry rummaged through his drawer pulling out a cöndom and a small bottle of lube, the same one Louis had used earlier that day. He watched Harry putting on the condom then lubing himself up as fast as he could and without warning pushed into him gripping his hips in a tight hold letting out a loud moan that had him blushing as he wrapped his legs around his waist.

Harry trailed kisses from Louis' stomach loving the small pudge then up to his chest wrapping his lips around one of his nipples feeling him pulling on his hair and soon he was pounding into him watching Louis' head thrown back in ecstasy. He hid his face on the crook of Louis' neck thrusting in and out of him feeling himself getting closer after three months of only using his right hand.

Nothing could compare to how tight Louis felt around him just like that very first time that he would never forget hearing the sound of skin slapping against skin, his groans and the soft uh's coming from Louis whenever he pushed into him. He held onto his hips to keep him from moving tightening his grip on them feeling Louis pulling him closer to him tightening the hold he had around his waist with his legs.

"Harder!" Louis nearly shouted holding onto Harry's forearms moaning when Harry found his prostate kissing Harry as soon as he lifted his head up wrapping his hand around the back of his neck.

It didn't take them long and soon Louis was cümming when Harry wrapped a hand around his cöck and seconds later Harry's thrusts started getting sloppy until he was cümming into the cöndom never stopping until he finished. They stayed there only hearing their pants and the water until Harry pulled out getting rid of the cöndom quickly turning the water off. When he turned around Louis was still in the same position staring at him with his legs spread wide open and slowly a smirk made its way onto his face while Harry slowly made his way to him resting his hands on Louis' hips.

"Fück the no sex rule." Louis said grabbing Harry by the back of his neck just wanting to feel his lips against his own again hearing Harry groaning in agreement..

They kissed for a while until Louis pulled back wanting to take a shower then ended up taking a shower together letting Harry fück him against the wall never getting enough of him. By the time they were satiated they found themselves sitting on the couch watching the rest of the season of Friends tangled up in each other's arms as if it was the most normal thing in the world for them to do. When they went to bed later that night Louis was still in the bathroom brushing his teeth while Harry stared up at the ceiling wondering what had gotten into Louis when he had decided to break a rule he had set himself.

He was still deep in thought wondering what it meant now when Louis walked in and without saying anything turned the light off and got under the covers facing him. Harry stayed quiet until Louis huffed in annoyance and moved a little closer to him resting his head on his pillow near his head.

"You're thinking too much." Louis finally said rubbing the skin in between Harry's eyebrows with his index finger.

"What does it mean? You- We broke the rule so what does that mean?" Harry asked in confusion hoping for an answer yet he didn't know what he wanted to hear.

"Three, almost four months without sëx Harry. You said we could- we could help each other out so I was thinking to take you up on that offer." Louis shrugged nervously waiting for Harry to say something.

"No strings attached?" Harry asked.

"What? No! You're not allowed to fück other people, just me." Louis smacked his chest.

"So like...sort of like a friends with benefits relationship?"

"Isn't that the same thing? I don't know...I mean...we are married after all." Louis shrugged, "Married couples have sëx all the time."

"Okay, got nothing to lose." Harry shrugged then smirked as he slowly trailed his hand down Louis' back playing with the hem of his pajama bottoms before pulling them down a bit.

"No, I'm sore...you're fücking huge." Louis pouted pushing his hand away smiling when Harry laughed.

"Sorry." He murmured against Louis' lips kissing him for a bit when Louis was quick to kiss him back.

They ended up falling asleep almost an hour later when Louis was completely exhausted glad that he could sleep in the next day. Their day continued the same except that that morning Harry had woken Louis up with his mouth around his cöck making him cüm like never before. His eyes had widened when Harry let him cüm in his mouth then had swallowed it as if it was the most delicious thing in the world wanting to someday return the favor but was too shy when he had never done that before.

~*~

"We got mail." Harry said as soon as he had walked back into the apartment after going to the store to get food plus more cöndoms and lube finding Louis laying down on the couch half asleep.

"Is it bills?" Louis grumbled trying to sit up, "They're yours then."

"Just the usual junk mail and a wedding invitation addressed to Mr. Harry and Louis Styles. They make us sound so sophisticated." Harry chuckled as he waved the ivory white envelope around then dumped the bags by the couch.

"A wedding invitation? From whom?" Louis asked not even bothering to move and instead just let Harry lift his legs up so he could sit down putting his feet over his lap.

"Umm, lets see." Harry said as he opened the envelope pulling out a beach themed invitation, "Its from cousin Asher and his fiancée Reina. They're finally getting married after four years."

"Really? When's the wedding and is he your cousin on your dad's or mum's side?" Louis asked.

"He's my dad's brother son, the wedding is in two weeks in Puerto Rico. Reina's parents are from Puerto Rico" Harry informed him, "He's dad's only brother and Asher is our only cousin on dad's side."

"That's too soon. Are we gonna go?"

"We have to, if we don't go dad's gonna skin us alive."

"Well let them know we're going, we need to find something nice to wear...get ready." Louis finally got up grabbing the bags to put everything away.

Harry got busy replying to his cousin to the email address provided in the invitation and when he was finished he leaned back and closed his eyes. He only opened them when he felt Louis sitting down on his lap with his legs on each side of him. Louis was just about to lean down and kiss him when the doorbell startled them and Louis was quick to get up and answer the door.

When he opened the door he smiled seeing Zayn, Liam and Niall standing there with beer and bags of food in their hands quickly letting them in. He wasn't surprised at all when he saw Liam and Zayn holding hands or when Liam sat down on the recliner pulling Zayn down to sit on his lap.

"Since when?" Harry asked as he opened a bottle of beer.

"Since the day before christmas eve." Liam answered wrapping his arms around Zayn's waist.

"Well I'm happy for you both." Louis smiled grabbing a water bottle not feeling up for a beer then grabbed a take out box of food.

"I thought we were all gonna go to that christmas party, you guys just holed up in here while Liam, Zayn and I were out." Niall said looking at both Louis and Harry expecting an answer.

"We were with our families and when we got home it was pretty late." Harry said.

"The party was yesterday, not christmas eve." Liam gave them a questioning look.

"We were going to but we were so tired from the night before that so we just slept all day, we're still kinda tired plus I got Louis Friends on dvd." Harry shrugged.

"No!" Liam exclaimed, "Can we watch it?"

"Of course!" Louis happily said getting up to restart the first season not even minding that he and Harry were gonna have to watch it again.

"I love this show." Zayn said moving to fit himself next to Liam even if he could barely fit ending up with half of him sitting on Liam's lap.

They ended up watching two full seasons until Niall finally got up and left a few minutes later saying that he had things to do with his family leaving Zayn and Liam behind. They watched a few more episodes then Liam followed Zayn when he left telling them he had to work the next day since he was a little behind even though it would be a saturday.

Louis stayed on the couch completely full knowing Harry was just like him and almost an hour later Harry got up to clean the bathroom glad that the boys hadn't opened the shower curtain after they had left a few cüm stains on the wall not even bothering to clean them up.

When he was done and walked to their bedroom he found Louis rummaging through the closet completely shirtless then his eyes wandered down to his belly seeing the tiny curve in between his hips. Suddenly the thought of Louis being pregnant with their baby crossed his mind but quickly willed himself to stop thinking like that shaking his head as he did so. What were the chances of it ever happening knowing that's something Louis didn't want.

So that happened...

My fingers just grew a mind of their own and typed typed and typed lol. Please let me know your thoughts. :)
