3 months later, Bahamas

"Morning, friends!" Niall said loudly, looking around to see that all of the boys had woken around him and tidied up where they'd fallen asleep on the sofas

"It's 2pm" Liam replied monotonously, raising his brows at Niall from his position at the table

Niall blinked before shrugging "Jet-lag" he said dismissively

Zayn scoffed at this, looking up from besides Liam "We got here three months ago, idiot" he stated

"Details, details" Niall muttered, waving his hand to hush Zayn

Harry rolled his eyes "You're stupid" he cut in

Niall grinned "That's Liam's role" he muttered

"Oi" Liam called, glaring at Niall "Shut your mouth" he replied

"Make me" Niall teased

Liam scoffed "I'll punch you right in the-"

Zayn looked between the pair "Let's not please" he cut in dismissively "Niall, Louis made pancakes" he said, quickly changing the subject

Niall jumped up at this, standing to his feet and walking over to the table where the rest of the were sat, though they'd already finished eating

He strode over and took a seat next to Harry before looking at the pancakes on the plate in front of him

"These look uh..." Niall trailed off and Harry scowled at him "Amazing!" He finished enthusiastically "These look amazing, Louis" he promised

Louis shuffled uncomfortably, not buying it "I don't know" he muttered "I mean, they're a little overcooked"

Liam scoffed loudly "Nonsense, kiddo" he replied "Best pancakes I've ever seen" he stated

Louis flushed, still shy "Thanks, Liam" he muttered, cheeks pink

Zayn leant forwards to whisper into Niall's ear "There's leftover pizza in the fridge" he said

Niall almost breathed out a sigh of relief before he tried to tiniest mouthful of Louis' pancakes "Oh wow, these are delicious" he lied

"Really?" Louis questioned, face lighting up

Niall nodded enthusiastically "They're incredible" he continued

Louis beamed "Thank you" he replied, still blushy "I'll make more tomorrow" he offered

Niall almost choked "Oh- wow, uh... you don't have to do that" he stuttered out "Let us cook for you" he added "You can have a break" he offered, praying that Louis agreed

The smaller boy blinked "Uh...okay?" He replied finally

"Yeah" Zayn cut in "I can make a mean spaghetti and meatballs" he replied

Liam smirked "You're good at meatballs, huh?" He quizzed

Zayn blushed a little "As a matter of fact I am" he said boldly "What can you do, Liam?" He questioned

Liam shrugged easily "M'not bad at making smoothies" he replied

Harry scoffed loudly "One of your smoothies made me throw up" he pointed out

Liam rolled his eyes "Sounds like a personal problem" he told Harry

"I'll make it your problem" Harry shot back

Liam raised his brows "How's that, mate?" He quizzed

Harry glared at him "How 'bout we take it to the ring and you can find out, mate?" He

"Jesus" Zayn muttered "Can one not have a moment of peace?" He quizzed

"He started it" Harry muttered

Zayn sighed "This is meant to be our vacation" he reminded

"No harm in keeping in shape" Liam replied "We should spar" he said to Harry

Harry smirked "Oh don't worry, we will" he agreed "And when we do, I'll beat your arse"

Liam grinned "Bring it on, boss" he said

***

6 months later, Cyprus

"Can't you have a second off?" Louis quizzed, watching Harry spar with Liam in boredom

Harry chuckled breathlessly, dodging a couple of blows from Liam as he replied "Need to train, baby" he replied "Got to keep in shape"

"Pay attention to me" Louis demanded, only half joking

Harry huffed out a laugh, punching Liam in the stomach "Come up here and I'll spar with you instead" he offered

"Hey!" Liam exclaimed in defence "You can't just dump me" he argued, throwing a soft punch at Harry's chest

Louis hopped up reluctantly, sighing a little over dramatically as he did so "So you'll only pay me attention if it involves punching me?" Louis quizzed, tone teasing "That's reassuring" he muttered

Harry grinned at him, slowly stepping away from Liam "Maybe it's just an excuse to touch you, darling" he replied

Louis smiled at this "Didn't think you needed an excuse" he replied "You touch me anyway" he said

Harry shook his head in amusement before turning to Liam briefly "Spar with one of the boys" he offered, nodding to where Niall and Zayn were chatting in the corner of the room near the weight racks

"Alright, traitor" Liam replied, rolling his eyes at Harry before jogging over to where the rest of the boys were stood

"So?" Harry quizzed, looking Louis over "How do you want to do this?" He asked

"What do you mean?" Louis questioned, cocking his head to the side as he looked at Harry

The taller man maintained his smile "I mean we could put on the gloves and pads, take turns" he offered "Or we can just go right in and spar" he listed "Or maybe you prefer role-play" he added, licking his lips as he looked the boy over

Louis scoffed, pink in the face "Maybe we should just fist fight" he replied "You know? Skin on skin" he added and Harry grinned

"Sounds good to me" the green eyed man told him, stepping closer and raising his arms in defence "Come on then, baby" he said softly "Show me what you've got"

Louis raised an eyebrow at his boyfriend "How 'bout you show me what you've got, boss?" The younger boy shot back softly

A smirk made it's way onto Harry's lips and he threw a punch at Louis; the smaller boy dodged easily, moving to the left and causing for Harry to miss

Harry's brows raised at the boy's quick reactions and he threw another punch that Louis' dodged with ease before throwing a punch at Harry. The green eyed man dodged this time, smirking as he did so

"Gotta be faster than that, sweetheart" he told the boy

Louis kicked out at Harry's leg, hard, causing the older man to wince and retaliate by throwing a punch to Louis' shoulder. Louis dodged again and it would be a lie to say that Harry wasn't impressed by his boyfriend's speed and natural agility

Louis stuck his foot out behind Harry's leg and threw a punch at the mans chest, causing Harry to stumble back and trip over Louis' outstretched foot, sending him straight to the floor

He blinked up at Louis in shock, flushing in embarrassment when he heard the boys laughing at him

Harry coughed, shaking his head and pushing himself back onto his feet "I let him do that" he announced, brushing down his clothes "That was on purpose" he muttered

Louis smirked at him and Harry rolled his eyes, still flustered

"Whatever you say, boss" Niall called

Followed by a "Louis got you good" from Zayn

"Taught him well" Liam added proudly

Harry scoffed, half offended and half proud at being blatantly beaten by his boyfriend in the round

"Round two then" Harry said to Louis "And this time I won't go so easy on you, little one" he added in

Louis smirked "Game on" he declared, holding up his hands in defence

And of course, Louis won again; this time he did so by kneeing Harry in the stomach and punching the man in the shoulder, again sending him to the floor

"What the fuck?" Harry grumbled, confused as he laid on the floor looking up at Louis

Louis grinned "Maybe I should be going easy on you" the smaller boy told him

Harry huffed, kicking out his foot and tripping Louis in the process. The smaller boy let out a squeak as he fell onto his backside next to Harry

"How 'bout we call it even?" Harry offered

Louis scoffed, looking up to face his boyfriend "I won fair and square" he stated

"Well we're both on the floor, baby" Harry pointed out

Louis narrowed his eyes at the man "Because you're a cheater" he replied

Zayn walked towards them, ruffling Louis' hair once he got close enough "It's alright, Louis, Harry's just a sore loser" he stated and Harry scoffed "Want to spar me instead?" He quizzed "Harry's clearly not on our level" he added, extending his hand to the boy

Louis grinned, taking Zayn's hand and hauling himself up

Zayn stuck out his hand for Harry and the green eyed man took it, halfway to his feet before Zayn was dropping him and he was sent straight back to the floor again "That's for tripping up my best friend" he said, smirking at Harry

Harry scoffed "Fuck you" he muttered, pulling himself up despite the hand that Louis was offering him to help

"Don't be bitter" the blue eyed boy told him with a grin "Even if you are falling behind a little" he added smugly, poking Harry's cheek

"M'not falling behind" Harry grumbled

Liam laughed loudly from the other side of the room "You've clearly lost your touch, boss" he stated "But that's alright, I'm sure that Louis can help you out and teach you a few moves" he added

Louis giggled softly at this "M'sure I can fit you into my schedule, Harry" he promised, taking the older man's hand in his hand and giving it a soft kiss

"You're getting rather smug, baby" Harry noted, pulling Louis closer and smiling down at the boy "Maybe I should take you to bed and remind you who's boss" he added, this time whispering the words so that only Louis could hear

Louis swallowed, flushing red "Maybe I'll let you do that once you learn how to throw a punch, big guy" he replied, patting Harry on the back softly before skipping over to where Zayn was stood waiting for him

Louis was glowing and proud when he reached Zayn, smiling up at the blonde haired man with a face made of starlight; bright and beautiful. Zayn ruffled the blue eyed boy's hair playfully and Louis laughed at something the older man said. The sound of his laughter was infectious, as Zayn threw back his head chuckling too just moments after, smiling down at Louis fondly

Harry watched after him, shaking his head at the younger boy. He'd never been so in love

***

9 months later, Vanuatu

"Harry, are you ready?" Zayn quizzed, poking his head into the living room where Harry and Louis were sat together watching TV

"Give me a minute" Harry replied, slowly standing up and stretching

Louis blinked up at him "You're going with them?" He exclaimed in questioning

Harry turned to him, brows raised "That a problem, sweetheart?" He quizzed

No

"Yes" Louis answered for no reason whatsoever

Harry was grinning now "What's the problem, little one?" He asked, entertained by his boyfriends response

"You were supposed to take me to the beach!" Louis exclaimed, standing up to follow Harry as he gathered his things together

"And I will" Harry promised "After I've been out with the boys" he clarified

Louis squinted at him "You're mean" he accused "You're going to leave me all alone?" He asked

"Niall's staying home, baby" Harry replied

Louis folded his arms across his small chest "Even worse" he muttered

Harry barked out a laugh "We're only going to a bar" he pointed out

Louis pouted "Why?" He asked

Harry shrugged, a relaxed smile on his face "Why not?" He questioned

Louis grinned "Because you can stay at home with me instead" he offered

Harry chuckled "I'll come right back home to you, darling, don't worry about that" he told the boy "Always do, don't I?"

"No" Louis muttered stubbornly, making Harry chuckle

"You're ridiculous, baby" he replied, kissing Louis' cheek as he walked past the boy to grab his jacket

Louis followed him to the hallway, pouting when Harry put his jacket on "No" he whined, clinging to Harry's arm

The older man raised an eyebrow "Am I not allowed out, sweetheart?" He questioned, clearly amused

"No" Louis told him

Harry barked out a laugh "Unfortunately for you, we're not a couple that controls each other's every move" he replied "I'll be back in a couple of hours"

Louis let out a frustrated whine "Harry" he pleaded "Stay" he demanded

Harry grinned down at him "Don't be like that, baby" he told the boy "M'not going to be long"

"Take me with you" Louis shot back, holding Harry's arm and pulling the man closer

"You wanna come?" Harry questioned incredulously, raising his brows at the boy

Louis huffed in defeat "No" he answered

Harry grinned, shaking his head in amusement "You're silly" he whispered fondly, poking the boy's nose "I'll be back later, baby"

Louis sighed over dramatically, reluctantly letting go of Harry's arm "Fine" he declared "You go out then" he said "See if I care" 

Harry leaned closer "No kiss?" He quizzed, pouting at the boy

Louis held his ground, folding his arms across his chest "Come back home and get it" he replied

Harry smiled, shaking his head fondly "Oh I will" he promised, taking Louis' hand and kissing that instead "Bye, baby"

And then Harry was leaving with Zayn and Liam, strolling into the outside world and letting the sun kiss them with it's summer lips. The Bahamas really was a good choice on Louis' behalf

Not even ten seconds later, Louis was sprinting out after Harry and pulling the man towards him

"Louis, wha-"

The smaller boy cut him off with a kiss, wrapping his arms around Harry's neck and resting his forehead against the older man's. When he pulled back Harry was grinning

"What was that for?" Harry asked, flustered

"Changed my mind" Louis muttered shyly, cheeks pink

"I figured, baby" Harry muttered, pecking Louis on the lips once more "Be back soon, alright?" He added

Louis nodded softly "Alright, have fun" he replied, slowly detaching himself from Harry "Love you" he added

Harry's grin was astronomical "And I love you" he promised before Zayn and Liam literally pulled him away

When Harry and the boys got home a couple of hours later, Louis was excited and jittery to see his boyfriend. These past few months they hadn't spent much time apart, so even these few hours had the pair missing each other

They just fit together; as if they were only whole when the other was present. Two pieces of a puzzle, a perfect match, a home

This was made entirely evident when Harry walked through the door and both felt complete again

With his hopes of going to the beach forgotten, Louis climbed into the mans lap once Harry was back in their bedroom

Harry grinned when Louis went to kiss him "Miss me, baby?" He quizzed, eyes fond

Louis whined in embarrassment "No" he muttered, lips against Harry's jaw

"Sure looks like it, sweetheart" Harry muttered, stroking his knuckles against Louis' cheek

Louis pressed his lips against Harry's to silence the man "Shut up" he said softly arms wrapped around Harry's neck

Harry kissed him softly, hands cupping Louis' face "You're not in a position to be making demands, baby" he whispered against Louis' lips

Louis whined slightly, squirming on Harry's lap "Harry" he said softly "C'mon" he muttered

"What do you want, baby?" He asked "Hm?"

Louis writhed a little, forehead pressed against Harry's "I just-"

"Thought you wanted to go to the beach, sweetheart" Harry reminded

Louis flushed "That's before you disappeared on me" he replied

"What if I want to go to the beach?" Harry quizzed, just teasing

Louis whined "We can be quick" he promised "Please?" Louis muttered, straddling Harry and rutting his hips slightly as he loosened Harry's tie "I'll even do all the work" he promised

"You're just- fuck- you're just saying that" Harry groaned out as Louis moved against his crotch

"I promise" Louis whispered, slowly unbuttoning Harry's shirt and pressing kisses to Harry's jaw "Can I?" He asked once more

Harry moaned lowly as Louis pressed a kiss to his throat "How could I ever say no to you?" He asked, watching Louis give him that breathtaking smile as he spoke

"You can't" Louis replied smugly, grinning down at Harry

The green eyed man hummed in agreement "Seems so" he agreed "Though I know you're a liar" he pointed out

"How?" Louis teased, already letting Harry position them and take control

"You won't do the work, you never do" Harry told him "Couldn't do the work even if you wanted to, you know why?" He asked

"Why?" Louis asked breathlessly as Harry laid him down

"Because you get weak at my touch" Harry answered, running a finger across Louis' neck and watching the boy shiver just to prove a point "You fucking turn to putty in my hands, just look at you" he whispered "Wish you could see yourself" he muttered "Look so pretty for me"

"Please" Louis whined, jerking his hips up for some soft of stimulation

"Please what?" Harry asked, taking a hand away just to watch Louis grow desperate

"Please touch me" Louis asked "Been waiting all day"

"You have?" Harry asked playfully and Louis nodded "Waiting all day for this?"

"Yes" Louis muttered

"But I thought you were going to do all of the work" Harry pointed out, his tone teasing

"I-I was but-"

"But what?" Harry asked, cutting him off

"I-I-" Louis choked out, blinking up at Harry with wide eyes

"But you play dirty, that's what" Harry answered "Making promises that you can't keep and expecting me to follow through for you" he teased

"Harry, please" Louis whispered

"You made a promise, sweetheart" Harry said softly, withdrawing himself from Louis to sit down next to him "You going to keep it?"

Louis nodded eagerly and it was safe to say that he didn't break his promise

***

Still nine months later, Champagne beach

"I wish we could stay here forever" Louis whispered, head resting on Harry's shoulder as he watched the calm sea sway back and forth in front of them

Harry nuzzled into Louis' side "Who says we can't?" He asked

Louis giggled "Zayn said it's not practical" he replied "That we have to move soon"

"Fuck Zayn" Harry muttered "He's not the boss around here" he added softly

Louis smiled at this "Nope, I am" he replied, tone teasing

Harry raised his brow at the smaller boy, grinning "That so?" He questioned

"Yes" Louis replied cheekily, causing for Harry to pull a face "Don't pout, babe, you know that it's true" Louis told him

Harry rolled his eyes, amused "I know" he muttered "And that's why if you want to stay then we stay" 

And then Louis was smiling and leaning in to kiss him, but the rain didn't quite agree with their timing and suddenly it was pouring. Rain streaming from the sky and drenching the boys who quickly pulled back from their kiss

"Jesus!" Harry muttered, looking up at the sky before looking back down at Louis

Louis giggled softly, watching as Harry's hair dampened and the man ran a hand through it with an amused sigh

The green eyed man leaned closer, cupping Louis' face in his and kissing the boy anyway. There was something special about it this time, something empowering, as if nothing in the world could stop them

And when Harry finally pulled back he was grinning "Better get you home, little one" he shouted over the rain "Can have you getting sick, my love" he said

Louis nodded, face flushed and hair soaking wet as Harry took his hand and they began running across the beach and back to their villa

The air was warm despite the rain and with every step they took their liberty prevailed

Freedom never tasted so divine

Y'all, I can't with these soft chapters. I cry

I've been waiting so long for them to just be happy, they deserve it so much!! I hope you all enjoyed this because it took so freaking long to put together ugh

Questions:

Where should they go next?

Thoughts on Louis beating Harry whilst sparring?

Thoughts on Lirrys banter? Do they love each other really?
