"You look just like her" Louis said softly, touching the face of the woman in the picture with great care

Harry smiled in reply, running his knuckles over Louis' forearm

"She's beautiful" Louis whispered, flicking to the next page of the photo book

"Yeah" Harry agreed, voice gentle

"Do you look at these often?" Louis asked softly, flicking through the pages

Harry shook his head slowly "Haven't seen these since she passed" he answered

Louis looked up at this, a frown on his pretty face "You haven't?" He questioned

Harry shrugged softly "Couldn't face it" he admitted

Louis' brows furrowed "Then where have they been all this time?" He asked, not remembering ever seeing them

Harry pointed to a locked drawer in his desk

"No one's seen them?" Louis quizzed

Harry shook his head once more "No one but you" he answered

Louis let out a soft sigh, taking Harry's hand and kissing it

"You remind me of her" Harry said after a couple of seconds silence "Your kindness and your spirit" he explained gently

Louis kept a hold of Harry's hand not saying anything in reply, as he didn't know what to say

"You remind me to be more like her" Harry said softly "Thank you for that, little one" he added

Louis swallowed, reminded of his own mother and their bond. Knowing that Harry had been through something so similar was heartbreaking for him and he just wished that he could stop them both from hurting

And then, without realising it, Louis began to cry silently, wiping at his wet cheeks quickly

"Oh, baby" Harry said softly, pulling Louis into his arms "What's wrong?" He asked

Louis turned his head away in embarrassment, not wanting to cry in front of Harry and feeling selfish for doing so "Sorry" he squeaked out, rubbing at his eyes

"What is it, sweetheart?" Harry asked gently, stroking the boy's arm soothingly "Hey, talk to me" he added

"I just-" Louis cut himself off, swallowing "I'm just sorry that I can't stop it from hurting" he admitted, finally turning to look at Harry with glistening eyes

"Oh, darling" Harry muttered, hugging Louis to his side

Louis sniffed "Thinking about you like that, god, it hurts" he whispered "I'm so sorry"

Harry wiped at Louis' cheeks and the boy shied away in embarrassment "Don't be sorry" he said gently "She'd be so happy to see me with you" he whispered "Know she would" he added "You're the best thing that's happened to me"

Louis nuzzled into Harry's shoulder "My Harry" he whispered, voice almost silent "I love you"

Harry didn't have to say anything because Louis already knew. He just had to hold Louis, like Louis had held him

***

Tension was unbearable every time they kissed, but Harry never wanted to take that step or push Louis further than he could go. So he savoured each kiss like it was going to be the last. Every kiss, every smile, every touch was enough

When he kissed Louis in his office that night, it was no different. Until it was

And when it finally finally happened, it was Louis who initiated it all; taking things from a make out session in Harry's office to a race into their bedroom

"C'mon" Louis ordered, tone whiny as he pulled Harry into the room

"Wanted to be alone?" Harry questioned "That what you want, baby?" and Louis nodded quickly "Why?" the taller man asked

"So that I can do this" Louis replied softly, pressing a quick kiss to Harry's lips, tender and sweet

Harry shut the door behind them, about to lock it when Louis took his hand and pulled him over to the bed "We can do that anywhere, sweetheart" Harry reminded, tone gentle as he kissed Louis again to prove his point

Louis squirmed slightly, kissing Harry back as his stomach fluttered "I just-" he started, muttering the words against Harry's lips "More" he whispered

"Huh?" Harry quizzed, cupping Louis' face with his hands "What do you want, baby?" He asked

"I-I want to do" Louis swallowed, stuttering "More. I want to do more" he told Harry shyly "Can we- can we please do-" he rambled, nervous "Do you want to-?"

"Hey" Harry called softly, hands still touching Louis' face "It's alright" he promised "Talk to me" he said

Louis nodded, swallowing again "Can we do this?" He asked, slower and more certain

Harry pulled Louis closer, kissing the boy deep and sensual "You want to?" he asked softly

"I do" Louis agreed, sealing his words with another kiss

Harry smiled into it, pulling back after a couple of seconds and pushing Louis backwards slightly so that he was laid face up on the bed 

Louis grinned up at him, pulling Harry down by his shirt and leaning up so that their lips could meet once more

"You have to be sure" Harry stated, muttering the words against Louis "I need you to be sure"

"Harry" Louis said softly, a smile on his face "I've never wanted anything more" he promised

Harry dove down to kiss Louis once more, thriving from the taste of Louis' tongue against his own before pulling back to talk again "I just want to you know that...that I...you know..." Harry trailed off, never having said the words before "I just feel...you know"

"I know" Louis replied, cutting Harry off "Me too" he added and Harry nodded, a smile on his face "I love you too"

He just wanted Louis to know how much he cared; but the words were foreign to him. Louis knew what Harry was thinking and he didn't need the man to say it because he could feel it. He felt every emotion radiating from Harry as the man kissed him again and made him feel so cared for

After a couple of seconds, Harry lifted Louis up by his arms; flipping their positions so that Louis was now on top, straddling Harry

"What are you...?" Louis questioned, a confused smile on his face

"I want you to take control" Harry told him "Do what you want to do, stop when you want to stop" he explained softly "Everything you do, I want you to do it because it's what you want"

Louis would have cried at this if he'd let his emotions push through, but instead he just nodded, muttering a soft 'thank you' to Harry

"Keeping my hands here" Harry told Louis, raising his hands above his head "M'not going to touch you" he added "You have the control"

"You don't- you don't have to" Louis told him gently

"Anything to make you feel empowered" Harry promised "You'll never have to do anything against your will again, I promise you that"

Louis grinned in awe "You're amazing" he mumbled, knowing that  in this precise moment, he was completely and utterly in love with Harry Styles

"Have you changed your mind?" Harry asked as Louis paused mid-thought, reaching out to brush back Louis' hair so that he could look the boy in the eye "We can stop" he added softly "It's all on you" he reminded "If you want to stop, we'll stop"

"No" Louis said quickly, half cutting Harry off "Just got caught up in the moment" he added truthfully "I want to" he promised, moving his hands to Harry's chest

Louis began to fumble with the buttons of Harry's shirt, opening it up to revealing Harry's toned chest, Louis ducked down to press a soft kiss to Harry's throat and Harry's hands went to play with Louis' hair

"Thought you said that you weren't going to touch" Louis stated in a teasing tone, looking up and watching through his lashes as Harry's hands retreated back above his head. A coy smile playing on Louis lips at this, "Maybe next time we can tie them there" he joked and Harry's eyebrows raised

"And the time after that?" Harry questioned

"Maybe you can tie mine" Louis offered with a soft smirk, raising his head so that his lips ghosted above Harry's

"Fuck" Harry muttered, lifting his head so that he could kiss Louis

Louis melted into the kiss, leaning down to capture Harry's lips as he held himself up by pressing his palms against Harry's bare chest

Although Louis was meant to be dominating the scenario, he couldn't help but dissolve into Harry's touch; his eyes shutting as Harry finally began to dominate the kiss

Louis made quick work of unbuttoning his own shirt, hardly breaking their kiss in the processes

"Love that shirt on you" Harry mumbled against Louis' lips "You looked gorgeous tonight"

"Thank you" Louis whispered, the words being spoken into Harry's mouth

"You okay, my angel?" Harry asked after Louis finally broke away from their kiss

"Need you to touch me" Louis whispered "I-I can't do this without you" he said quietly, cupping Harry's face in his hands

"Don't want to hurt you, little one" Harry confessed softly

"You won't" Louis promised "Just do this with me" he muttered and Harry hesitated "Please?" He asked

Harry nodded quickly, unable to say no to his boy "Going to take care of you, sweetheart" he whispered into Louis' neck "Make you feel so good" he added "Make you so happy" he said "Just like you make me"

Louis smiled, running a hand through Harry's hair "You already make me so happy, love" he whispered

Harry smiled back at this, pulling off his belt and unbuckling his jeans "You still good, angel?" He asked before pulling down his jeans

"Still good" Louis promised, lifting himself up so that Harry could pull off his jeans and toss them to the floor

Harry hummed happily before his hands went to Louis' hips, stilling the boy before undoing his zipper and slowly pulling down his jeans

At this point, Louis' heart started to beat rapidly inside his restricting prison of a rib cage, palm sweating

"Louis?" Harry called softly, bringing his knuckles to Louis' cheek and gently stroking

"I'm good" Louis repeated, offering Harry a shy smile "I promise" he added

"Good" Harry whispered "M'going to take care of you, little one"

Louis nodded quickly, squeezing his eyes shut as Harry took off his jeans for him

"Talk to me, doll" Harry said gently, rubbing a hand across Louis' bare thigh "Tell me what you're thinking"

"I'm thinking-shit" Louis cut himself off when Harry's hand grazed his crotch "I-I'm...I'm thinking- oh" he choked out when Harry leant down to run his tongue over his boxers

"Go on, sweetheart" Harry encouraged, the words vibrating against Louis' length

"I'm- ugh- thinking that you're the only- ah, shit- the only person I want in this world" he gasped out "Only you, always you" he whispered, running a hand through Harry's hair "You're so good to me" he said "You're- oh god, you're too good for me" he said

"You're too good for me" Harry whispered against his thigh "Can I take this off, doll?" He asked, fiddling with Louis' boxers

Louis nodded shakily "Can you do yours first?" He asked shyly

Harry smiled at him, lopsided and dimpled "Course, little one" he said softly, pressing a kiss to Louis' thigh before reaching down for his own underwear and pulling it off "Ready, baby?" He asked softly

Louis swallowed but nodded "Yeah" he whispered, squeezing his eyes shut

He felt Harry pull down his boxers gently and Louis accommodated for him, lifting each knee up so that Harry could toss them aside. He kept his eyes shut for a second, mind racing, heart thudding

When he finally opened his eyes, Harry was looking up at him with a smile so bright that Louis felt at ease

Louis let out a breath of relief and Harry smiled harder, reaching up to touch Louis' cheek "Alright, little one?" He quizzed

Louis nodded softly, melting into the man's touch "Yeah" he whispered "I was scared" he admitted "Now m'not" he added

Harry grinned, feeling such a sense of pride and accomplishment. All he'd wanted was to make Louis feel happy, make him enjoy this more than he feared it. And now he finally had

Louis felt empowered, just like Harry had wanted him to

And it was liberating to finally be with Harry in this way, no clothes, and nothing to separate them anymore

Louis leant back down to kiss the man and Harry wrapped his arms around Louis' back, rubbing his hands over Louis' skin and fisting the sheets around Louis every time their length brushed together

"You sure you wanna do this?" Harry asked, muttering the words against Louis' lips "Can stick to this if you want" he offered "This is enough for me if you-uh- if you change your mind" he whispered

Louis kissed him, hands cupping Harry's face "I want to" he said softly, whining when Harry thrust up against him "Please just, Harry, please" he moaned

Harry nodded quickly, forehead pressed against Louis' "I got you, baby" he promised "Gonna look after you" he said softly

Louis swallowed, nodding desperately as Harry turned them over, and he was back under the man, looking up at Harry with wide eyes "Are you-" Louis swallowed, cutting himself off

Harry knew exactly what he meant "Want to?" He questioned "Ready?" He checked

Louis nodded slowly, trying to steady his breathing as Harry smiled, stroking the boy's face with his fingertips before reaching over to grab lube and a condom from the nightstand

"You keep it in there?" And Louis' sassy tone was back making Harry grin, knowing that the playfulness of Louis' tone showed that he was relaxed, despite what they were doing

"What's wrong with in here, sweetheart?" Harry asked, hovering back over Louis, mere inches from his lips

Louis narrowed his eyes at Harry playfully and the older boy smiled

Harry smiled, still practically touching Louis' lips "Not gonna kiss me, huh?" He questioned playfully and Louis giggled

"Nope" the blue eyed boy replied, still fond

"Hmm, so you're being stubborn now?" Harry quizzed, grinning as he poked Louis' bottom lip "Am I gonna have to touch you some more?" He asked, tone teasing "See if I can get you to give me a kiss?"

Louis grinned at this, unable to keep up the facade, rolling his eyes and pressing a short kiss to the man's lips

And when Harry's arm hooked around him and touched at his back, Louis was nowhere near nervous as he thought he would be. He was ready now, and doing this with his Harry didn't scare him

"Go on" the blue eyed boy whispered "Y-you can-" he stopped and Harry nodded

"Alright, baby" he replied gently, pressing a final kiss to the boy's lips before moving down on the bed until he was level with Louis' waist

Louis sucked in a breath, shy and flushed

"You're so pretty, my baby" Harry whispered against his stomach "Prettiest little body I've ever seen" he muttered, pressing a kiss to the boys tummy "Can't believe I get to touch you" he said softly "God, I just- I can't believe it"

And then his hands were on Louis' bare thighs, moving them apart gently and pressing a kiss to them whenever he felt Louis tense

"You're alright, baby" he promised "I've got you" he whispered "Not gonna hurt you" he said softly, the words against Louis' tanned skin

Louis felt himself ease up and Harry was soon positioned between his thighs "Harry" he whined softly, wanting something to hold onto

"I'm here, my love" Harry replied instantly, knowing exactly what Louis wanted. He reached a hand up to grab Louis "I'm here" he repeated and Louis nodded, taking Harry's hand and squeezing it gently

"Thank you" Louis whispered, eyes fluttering shut

Harry pulled the cap off of the lube with his teeth and squirted some onto his fingers "Tell me when you're ready, baby" he said softly "I'll wait" he promised

Louis paused for a moment, just like he needed to. Just like Harry knew he needed to. And then he was nodding softly, opening his eyes and blinking down at Harry "Go on" he muttered shyly, squirming in anticipation

Harry's lips went to his thigh, biting and kissing softly like he usually did; Louis felt himself at ease with the familiarity of it. Harry's knuckles grazed across Louis' length and the younger boy jolted at the feeling, hard and flushed against his stomach

"Harry" he whined, hips jerking in anticipation "C'mon" he pleaded

Harry smiled against the boy's skin "Alright, little one" he whispered "I've got you" he promised once more, middle finger finally making its way to Louis' entrance

Louis nodded "Please" he said softly and Harry pushed in as slow as he could

The blue eyed boy pressed back into Harry's touch, lips parting and face flushed as he felt Harry's finger open him up slowly

Harry was unbelievably hard. The feeling of Louis around him, the look on the boy's face. It was almost too much; he thrust up against Louis' leg, trying his best to get some sort of friction as he worked his finger inside of Louis gently

"How does it feel?" He asked, pushing in deeper

Louis swallowed "It's uh, it's good" he replied and Harry almost let out a breath of relief

"Yeah?" Harry quizzed, mouthing the words against Louis' thigh

Louis nodded vigorously, throat bobbing "Yeah" he promised, whiny and quiet "Yeah" he repeated

Harry licked at the boy's thigh, trailing kisses from his leg to his hip, mouthing at the skin and biting softly at the flesh. He made his way to Louis' length, nose grazing at the skin gently before he trailed his tongue across the skin

Louis moaned at this, desperate "Can you- can you just-" he cut himself off, squirming 

"Another?" Harry asked, breath fanning over Louis

Louis nodded again, eyes screwing shut when Harry added another finger as gently as possible. The green eyed man pressed his tongue against Louis' length to distract from the burn of his fingers

"That alright?" He asked before running his tongue across Louis' skin as he scissored his fingers inside of the boy

"Good" Louis choked out, squirming around on the bed "Feels good" he promised, breathy and quiet as Harry moved both fingers inside of him quicker

Harry smiled against him, kissing at every inch of Louis that he could, savouring every moment. He wanted to taste him, every part of him.  Breathe in the way that he smells, store the way that he looks. Embed every inch of Louis into his memory until the day he dies. Keep him there for ever. Never let him go

"You're gorgeous" Harry whispered "So good for me, my love" he praised "Can you take another, little one?"

Louis nodded again "Yeah" he said quickly "Yeah I can, Harry, please" he muttered "Need it" he whined

Harry nodded, withdrawing both fingers and adding more lube. Louis clenched around air, empty and wanting "I got you, baby" he said softly, watching Louis in fascination "Gimme a sec" he whispered

And then Harry's pushing in a third finger along with the original two, spreading them out, unable to look away from Louis' body as he clenches down, taking it so well

Louis tensed this time, panting and hard against his own stomach "Harry" he muttered

"Hurt?" Harry questioned, stilling his fingers

Louis shook his head "No" he promised "It's good" he whispered breathily "It's so good"

Harry nodded, nervously "Okay" he whispered, breathless as he pumped his fingers inside of the boy "Alright" he muttered "Tell me when you're ready" 

"I am" Louis said immediately "God, I am"

And then the world was spinning around them. Just the two of them and their room. Nothing else existed. Time went faster

Harry swallowed as he removed his fingers from Louis and rolled a condom onto his length. He fumbled with the lube, coating his length in the liquid and lining up at Louis' entrance

Louis squirmed, somewhere between nervous and excited as Harry pressed at his entrance

"Tell me when, baby" Harry muttered, eyes squeezed shut as he felt Louis against him

Time slowed as Louis nodded, pulling Harry closer and pushing himself down onto the boy "Yeah" he whispered "Just- uh" he whined "Please"

Harry nodded, holding Louis closer as he pressed inside as slow as he could make himself go; all the way until he was flush against Louis, panting and nervous

"Does it hurt?" Harry asked softly, willing himself to stay still, but his hips were already stuttering in response to the feeling of Louis around him

Louis let out a small whine, eyes squeezed shut "A little" he said softly

Harry's brows furrowed and he took Louis' hands in his own "Want me to stop?" He checked

Louis shook his head "Just- uh, just give me a second" he muttered, eyes finally opening as he looked up at Harry, steadying his breathing

Harry leant down to kiss him and Louis eased up at the familiarity of the man's lips. The tenderness of Harry's hands gave Louis comfort, just like they always did as they touched him

Harry felt like home

Louis pulled back slowly, parting from the man as he swallowed before nodding "You can-" he choked out "You can move" he permitted, still nodding

Harry let out a breath, wrapping his arms around Louis and pulling the boy closer to him. Louis' arms hooked around Harry's neck, fingers playing with the soft strands of hair, tugging on them softly as Harry thrust into him as gently as possible

Louis let out a whine, high in his throat and Harry groaned lowly. Harry gave a harsher thrust and Louis choked out a moan as Harry hit his prostate dead on

"Harry" he keened, legs shaking as he pulled on Harry's hair "Uh, uh, please" he muttered, not knowing exactly what he was begging for; he just wanted Harry to do something

"Oh fuck" the green eyed man muttered "Fuck, Louis" he grunted "I couldn't come already" he said softly "Feel so good" he praised "Always so good for me, little one"

 Louis clutched Harry tightly, digging his fingernails into his back and pressing his face into the mans neck as Harry held him

"Me too" Louis whimpered as Harry gave long, steady thrusts; slow and deep "You can- please" he whined, needy "C'mon, please" he choked out

Harry knew exactly what he meant, nodding against Louis' shoulder and giving harder thrusts. Faster and deeper

Louis writhed beneath him, fidgety and squirming as Harry held him tighter. Fucked him harder

And then Louis was crying prettily, tears spilling from his glassy eyes

"Baby, you okay?" Harry asked immediately, thumbing Louis' tears "Are you hurting? What's wrong?"

"Over-overwhelmed" Louis gasped out "Good, uh I'm good" he promised "Don't stop" he pleaded "I'm close" he whined "Harry, please"

Harry groaned "Me too, baby" he said softly "I got you" he promised "Let go for me, sweetheart, come on" he said softly, reaching down a hand to touch the boy "Come on, pretty" he whispered, stroking Louis' length

Louis came immediately, thighs quivering and back arching as he did so. Harry wanted to cry when he saw the boy's face. Lips parted and cheeks flushed, pretty all over

It was enough to make Harry let go. And so he did; spilling into the rubber and softly riding out his high as he kept Louis held close to him

After a couple of thrusts, Harry stilled inside of Louis, still holding the boy to his chest and kissing his hair tentatively

"Are you alright, baby?" He asked finally, stroking at Louis' cheek as he pulled back "You good?"

Louis nodded breathlessly, cheek pink and hair a mess. He licked his red, parted lips before he replied "So good" he whispered "You okay?" He checked

The grin that took over Harry's face was astronomical "The best" he said softly "You make me feel the best" he muttered, kissing Louis' cheek and nosing at the boy's skin "My baby" he mumbled

Louis smiled, hugging Harry tightly as the slipped out "Thank you" he murmured into Harry's hair

"Thank you" Harry said right back "My lovely, Louis" he whispered, wrapping his arms back around the boy and squeezing gently

When Harry eventually got up to clean them, it was only because Louis had gone all soft and pliant in his arms

And he was the same when Harry returned; clingy and a little complacent as he smiled lazily at the man 

Harry wouldn't want it any other way

***

The next day was supposed to be filled with the gang reevaluating all of their information on the Tomlinson brothers so far

Instead, Harry and Louis didn't leave the bedroom until the afternoon and the other boys seemed to be joking around in the kitchen, trying to avoid all talk of anything productive

When Louis finally walked into the kitchen for food, he smiled at the boys "Hi" he said shyly, smiling at them as he leant against the counter

"Loui-oh my god" Niall cut himself off, eyes widening as he looked Louis up and down "Oh my god!" He exclaimed, gaining the attention of Zayn and Liam

"What the hell are you- holy shit!" Zayn practically shouted

"What?" Louis questioned self consciously "What did I do?" He asked , glancing downwards just to double check that he was fully clothed

Zayn nudged Liam who blinked at Louis a few times before clearing his throat to speak

"I-I- you... it's just... you're-"

Niall cut him off abruptly "Are you pregnant?" He asked loudly

"What?!" Louis shouted, glancing down at his stomach "What are you talking about?" He questioned "D-do I look fat?" He asked "Is that it?"

"You're glowing" Liam replied

Niall scoffed at that "Fuck that, Liam, he's luminous" he stated

"I'm what?" Louis asked

"The sun" Niall deadpanned "You're the sun"

"You're..." Zayn trailed off, looking at Louis in awe "You look amazing"

"I- what?" Louis choked out

"You do" Zayn insisted "They're right, you're glowing" he stated

"What does that even mean?" Louis questioned "What are you all talking about?"

"They kissed!" Niall shouted

"Of course they kissed" Zayn scoffed "I've seen them kiss" he stated

"You've seen them kiss?" Liam repeated and Zayn shrugged

"They've fucked!" Niall concluded

Liam dove forwards to cover Louis' ears

"Why the hell would you say something like that in front of him?" Liam questioned

"The fuck are you talking about?" Niall questioned incredulously

"You can't talk about that in front of him" Liam stated "It's crude and vulgar" he spat

"He did it" Niall pointed out

"He did not" Liam defended, hugging Louis to his chest and still covering the boy's ears "He's innocent"

"They fucked" Niall repeated, folding his arms across his chest

Liam hummed loudly, trying to drown out Niall's words

"Doggy style!" The blonde boy shouted

Zayn whacked Niall on the back of the head "Shut up you idiot" he grumbled, shoving Niall away

"What's going on in here?" Harry questioned, strolling into the kitchen with his pants hanging lowly on his hips

Liam's jaw dropped and he looked between Harry and Louis in shock "Take all my money" he said to Niall "You were right"

"Right about what?" Harry asked "Why are you restraining my Louis?" He snapped "Get off, he's mine" he grumbled, strolling over and peeling Louis from Liam's strong grasp

Liam held his hand up in defeat, letting Louis go and taking a step back

"You okay, baby?" Harry asked Louis, running his knuckles over the boy's cheek "Coming back upstairs?"

Liam audibly gasped and Niall elbowed him

"Told ya" he muttered smugly

"I'm disgusted" Liam whispered back "Louis has been corrupted" he added "I feel cheated"

Louis leant forwards into Harry embrace and cuddled into the man's chest "Only if you carry me" the blue eyed boy bargained

"Was going to carry you anyway" Harry told him, picking the boy up by his thighs "Don't want you to struggle now do I, sweetheart?" He asked softly, leaning forwards to press a kiss to Louis cheek

Liam let out another gasp and this time both Zayn and Niall elbowed him simultaneously

"Shut up, Liam" Niall scolded, rolling his eyes

***

Zayn helped Harry bring down some old folders once the five of them finally decided to get on with some work

Harry walked straight into the bedroom, climbing up onto a chair and reaching on top of highest shelf to grab some papers

Zayn glanced at the unmade bed in Harry's room alongside the lube open on the counter. His nose scrunched in disgust and he turned to Harry, taking a box of papers from the man who was passing them down "So...uh...you and Louis?" He quizzed, brows raised

Harry was unable to stop himself from smiling "Louis and I what?" He quizzed, grabbing another box and passing it to Zayn

Zayn rolled his eyes "You know what" he stated

Harry grinned "Spit it out, Zayn" he scolded, though no malice was in his voice

"You finally uh...?" He questioned

Harry shrugged "None of your business" he replied

Zayn scoffed at this "He's been here almost a year so I just thought you must have..." he trailed off. "But then I saw him this morning and-" he laughed quietly "The way he walked in-" he shook his head again, amused "I just- I just knew something was different"

Harry grinned even harder "Yeah?" He muttered, picking up the final box with a couple of folders before climbing down

Zayn smiled right back "Stop smiling so much" he scolded "You're supposed to be scary" he reminded, leading the way out of the bedroom

"I'm happy" Harry admitted with a shrug, following behind the smaller man

"You're obsessed" Zayn corrected

"Course I am" Harry agreed "He owns me, simple as that" he stated "His wish is my command and he bloody knows it" he added with a smirk "Knows how gone I am for him"

"Takes full advantage of it too" Zayn replied "Knows exactly how to get what he wants"

"Little minx he is" Harry agreed "God, he's just perfect" he muttered dreamily "Wouldn't change an inch of him"

"Oh he knows" Zayn replied "Wrapped around his dainty little finger you are" he added "Has you right where he wants you"

"Fuck that, he has me right where I want to be" Harry stated "Worst part is I enjoy the way he knows he has me" he said, shaking his head shyly "I'm a mess, aren't I?" He quizzed

"You're sickeningly gone" Zayn told him "I'm embarrassed for you" he muttered as they walked into Harry's office where the others were already sat

"Any luck boys?" Harry questioned, referring to the other three as he dumped the boxes and folders onto the large desk

Niall shook his head "Don't know what the fuck to look at" he admitted "There's nothing of use"

"It's all useful" Zayn stated

"Just gotta know how to use it" Louis and Zayn finished together, looking at each other in shock once they'd spoken

Zayn grinned at the younger boy "Great minds think alike, darlin'" he said softly, ruffling Louis' hair before he sat down next to Liam

Harry sat besides Louis, looking over the boy's shoulder "Nothing?" He quizzed

"Nothing" Louis repeated softly, sighing gently as he passed Harry the paper that he was looking at "Hand me that?" Louis asked Liam

The brown eyed boy pointed to a piece of paper and Louis nodded before Liam passed it over

Harry looked over his shoulder "That's ones the phone call" he explained

Louis' brows furrowed "Between Frank and Mark?" He asked

Harry nodded "Not seen that one yet?" He asked

Louis shook his head "Is it their conversation?" He questioned

"From when Frank was in France" Harry explained

Louis hummed thoughtfully "So this is like a transcript?" He quizzed

Harry nodded "Yeah" he answered "Just a phone call recording"

Louis hummed again softly, still in thought "So it's computer controlled?" He checked

Zayn nodded this time "Yeah, kind of like if you did 'speech-to-text' on your phone" he explained

Louis frowned at this "So if I said bear as in the animal, it could type it down as B-A-R-E" he questioned

"Yeah, that's possible" Niall answered this time "Why?" He asked, not following

Louis scanned the paper "And if I said Li, like short for Liam, it could print the spelling as Lee with two E's?" He asked

Zayn's brows furrowed, not quite catching on "Yeah, I guess" he replied "Where are you going with this?"

Louis smiled at this, triumphant "It's not accurate" he pointed out "If it's computer controlled then there's errors in it regarding things like names, language and lingo" he explained

Liam blinked at him, confused "Okay, so?" He quizzed softly 

Louis looked at the transcript closer, picking up a pen and twiddling it between his fingers "You said something to me once, Harry, and it stuck in my mind" he muttered, bringing pen to paper slowly with a thoughtful frown "Knew something about this was familiar" he mumbled to himself

He scribbled out a letter on the page

N i c k

N i c 

"What's Dom's full name?" Louis asked

"Dominic" Zayn answered

Whoop, there it is :)

I read this back before I posted it and deadass gasped at the ending lmao, I get too into it! When you think about it... it's obvious :)

Questions:
