Harry fixed his vest around his chest before he buckled the ammo belt around his hips and filled it with guns , magazines , knives and grenades .

He finished and joined his men , who were standing in a half circle , all geared up just like Harry was .

"We've trained enough times to do this properly ." Harry started his small speech , "And yet , what we're dealing with today is not the usual shit . This is a well known terror organisation , they don't play by the rules - so you don't play by the rules either . Look out for your mates , I want you all back in one piece . Take those bastards down ."

Everyone got into the armoured vehicles and started the short ride to the location . Harry drove one of the vehicles with Victor sitting in the passenger's seat , giving more orders through the radio .

It was a ten minutes drive , Harry stopped the vehicle at the pinned location and pulled the handbreak as the other vehicles parked next to him one by one . Victor started ordering his teams as they unloaded from the vehicle quickly , holding their guns up as they walked towards the apartment building .

The other teams spread through the area and into different entries of the apartment building , where the terror group members were . And very quickly gunshots were heard .

Harry kept calm as he did his job , he and his team were professional enough to not get overwhelmed during these situations .

Some members of the terror group were shot as they kept going further into the building , having to spread up even more to cover more rooms .

Harry stopped to change his magazine , loading a new one and cocking the gun before pressing it back to his shoulder , holding it out as he continued walking further into the building . He heard his teams over the radio , saying that areas B and C were on the clear , while A , D and E were still scanned .

Harry ordered the teams of B and C to spread up and help in the other areas , just as he finished talking a man jumped out of the corner with an axe in his hand , crying out loud as he lunged at Harry .

Harry didn't hesitate to shoot him , twice in the chest and another one in the head , moving forward as he stepped over the body . 

But then a hand wrapped around the barrel of his gun , yet another man popping out of the corner with a knife in his hand , swinging it at Harry's face . Harry leaned backwards and away , yet the man managed to leave a large cut down Harry's face .

Harry kicked his foot into the man's middle and pushed him backwards , shooting him twice in the head . He groaned in pain as he felt blood streaming down his face , though it didn't stop him from going further in .

He shot two more men on his way , ignoring the burning pain in his face and the continuous drips of blood .

He sighed as it got quiet , looking around himself as he took his radio out . "Area A is on the c --"

He was cut off by gunshots , bullets going into his leg . He let out a loud groan and lifted his gun up , automatically shooting at the man hidden behind the corner as he went to take cover .

"Fucking --" He groaned as he leaned against the wall , taking his empty magazine out and changing it into a new one as the man continued to shoot in his direction . He loaded the new magazine and cocked his gun , growling as he looked down at his thigh - he had at least six bullets in his left leg .

Eventually he decided to use one of his grenades , he took one out of his belt and pulled the pin , throwing it into the room the man hid in as he walked away to take cover .

"Boss we're on our way to your location ."

The grenade exploded , Harry forced himself out of his hiding spot and into the smoke-filled room . He shot automatically all around the room as he hid behind the doorframe for safety , stopping to listen to sounds .

"Boss ! Boss we're here !!"

Harry took his radio out , "Area A is on the clear ." He said and tucked the radio into his belt , seeing the familiar faces of three of his guards ; Axel , George and Theo .

"Shit -- boss , your face ."

Harry limped towards them , his leg burned in pain from the multiple bullets . George rushed over to his side and supported his walking , holding Harry's arm around his shoulder .

"All units , this is Axel Levin - The Kingdom Is Burning . We need immediate medical care ." Axel said into his radio as they escorted Harry towards the exit , using the code phrase to let everyone know that Harry was seriously injured .

Having to walk down four flights of stairs with bullets in his leg was one of the most painful things Harry could remember ; he growled in pain and punched the wall , feeling lightheaded as they finally stepped out of the building .

Everyone rushed around him , Victor ordered the three guards who were with Harry to take one of the vehicles and rush to the hospital , assigning two more guards to join them .

Harry was placed in the back of the vehicle and they quickly left the location , he turned to look at his guards , "When we're in the hospital - don't let Louis in . Not until I tell you to . Whatever he does , whatever he says - do not let him into the room ."

They reached the hospital , Zayn had the operation room and his team prepared and ready for when Harry would arrive . The guards helped laying Harry on the bed , Zayn shook his head , "Jesus christ , Harry ."

"Fucking fix my face and shut up ." Harry watched as Zayn examined his leg . 

"You're going to need a lot of stitches today ." Zayn told Harry , "I'll do your face , the nurses will do your legs ."

Harry got comfortable on the bed , propping the bed up so he wasn't laying , watching as the nurses cut his trousers with scissors to access his leg .

"I liked those trousers , did you know that ." Harry gave them a pointed look , making one of the nurses go wide-eyed in fear .

"Ignore him , he's being a dick . Do your job ." Zayn told the nurses , then turned to Harry , "Stop scaring my staff ."

Harry sat still as the nurses took out the bullets and Zayn cleaned his face from dried blood , face muscles twitching just a bit as Zayn stitched his wound closed carefully .

"How bad will the scar look ?" Harry asked .

"Well , thankfully the gash isn't too deep ." Zayn said , "But it's a nasty one for sure . It'll heal properly but will definitely leave a pretty white line down your face ."

"How long will I have to be on bedrest for my leg ?"

"Six weeks ."

"Fuck that ." Harry shook his head .

Zayn grabbed his face as he hissed , "Don't fucking move . You're on bedrest for atleast two weeks , and four more weeks at home until you heal properly . If you keep being a dick I'll tell Louis it's ten weeks ."

Harry deflated a bit at the mention of Louis , he kept quiet and still as Zayn finished stitching the wound on his face .

How could he let Louis see him like this ? Wounded , with an ugly scar on his face - there was no way he could cover it . What would Louis think ?

~~

Louis watched as Harry's vehicles returned to the office building , going through the front gates one by one and driving past him on their way to the back parking lot of the building , where all the field vehicles parked .

One of the vehicles stopped in front of Louis , who was just outside the dogs' pavilion . Liam stepped out of the passenger's seat and closed the door behind him ; one look at him made Louis whimper , "D-Did - did something happen ?"

Liam sighed , "Yes and no ."

"Liam ." Louis' eyes filled with tears , "Stop scaring me ."

Liam walked over to Louis and wrapped his arms around him , "Hey , everything is okay --"

"No . No . Stop it ." Louis fought his way out of the hug , "Tell me what happened ." He wiped a tear that fell down his cheek .

"Harry is in the hospital , he was injured . Zayn is taking care of him ." Liam said , hesitating to tell Louis the bad news . "He -- Harry asked for you to not be there ."

A dry sob left Louis' mouth , "As if I'd sit around while he's in the hospital ." He huffed and walked quickly into the small office in the dogs' pavilion , he collected his things and rushed to his car .

Liam followed him , "I'm sorry Lou , he asked not to see you ."

"I don't care , Liam , I seriously don't care . I'm going to the hospital and I will see him ." Louis said as he pulled open the driver's door , slamming it shut and switching the engine on .

Louis parked his car and rushed into the building , he saw Zayn walking down one of the hallways .

"Zayn ." He ran over , "Where is he ?"

Zayn gave him a light smile , "Follow me ."

Louis laced their arms together as Zayn walked them through the hospital building . "Please tell me he's okay ."

"He's all good Lou , I promise ." Zayn patted Louis' small hand that was around his bicep , "We fixed him up , he's just going to need a bit of time to recover ."

"God , I'm so worried ." Louis sighed , "Was he unconscious when he was brought here ?"

"No , he was awake and talking . The dick scared my staff , too ." Zayn joked a bit . "He's out of danger , I promise you ."

Louis nodded , they walked into one of the elevators , Zayn pressed the 4th floor button and looked down at Louis , who was leaning his head on his shoulder .

"He asked for you to not be here , did you know that ?"

"I know . He's delusional if he thinks I wouldn't be here ."

Zayn smiled , "He's lucky to have you ."

They stepped out of the elevator , "I can't go with you , but he's in room seven , just down this corridor ." Zayn gestured with his hand , Louis nodded and gave him a tight hug , "Thank you , thanks for everything ." He pecked his cheek and ran down the corridor .

Axel and George stood in front of him , blocking his way . Louis' eyes were already watering again , "Please let me through ."

"Mr. Styles' orders . He asked not to see you ."

Louis huffed and wiped his eyes , before shaking his head and moving forward . The guards blocked his way with their arms , Louis fought against them , "Let me through ! You have -- you have to let me through !"

"Mr. Styles gave us a direct order not to let you see him ."

Louis cried as he pulled away from them , covering his face as he took a few deep breaths to calm down . He wiped his eyes and cheeks before turning to one of the guards , "C-Can I borrow your radio ? To talk to him ?" He held his hand out .

Axel looked down at him , Louis, bottom lip trembled , "Please . Atleast let me talk to him ." He sniffled . Axel gave in and handed him the radio , Louis thanked him and watched as he explained quickly how to use it .

Louis held the button down . "Harry ."

It took a few seconds before Harry answered . "Baby ."

"I-I'm here . I'm here w-with your guards ."

"You can't see me , baby ."

"But why ?" Louis cried , "Let me see you . Ask the guards to let me through . H-Harry please ."

"Baby I'm serious . You cannot see me ."

"I don't care ! I need to see you ." Louis wiped his cheeks , "What if -- what if it was the other way around , and I was injured and forced you to stay away from me ? You would've torn the building down . You would've fought every person in your way ." Louis stopped to breathe . "Let me see you ."

It was silent for a bit , Louis' heart beating loudly in his chest .

"Axel ."

Louis handed the guard his radio back , Axel took it , "Yes boss ."

"Let him through ."

That was all Louis needed to hear before he pushed past the guards and ran down the hallway to Harry's room .

He reached the room and took a deep breath before pushing the door open and walking into the big VIP room . He saw Harry sitting on one of the armchairs by the large windows , his back turned to the door .

"Stop ."

Louis stood still , "Hazzie --"

"Before you see me . I need you to stop , and listen to me ."

"Please tell me that you're okay ."

"I'm okay baby . I promise ." Harry assured him . "But I need you to know that it's okay if you can't look at me . I understand if it's too much . Don't feel bad about it ."

Louis' eyes got glossy . "Please just let me see you ."

"Come here ."

Louis put all of his things down on Harry's bed on his way over , slowly approaching him . He let out a whimper at the sight of the stitched wound running down Harry's face ; it started above his eyebrow , cutting down through his eyebrow and then continued down his cheek , thankfully his eye was untouched .

Louis' eyes filled with tears as he placed his hand on Harry's uninjured cheek , "H-Hazzie ." He cried , "Oh my god . What -- "

"We had an operation , we took down a terror organisation ." Harry explained , "One of them got me with a knife , I shot him . Then another one shot me a few times , eight actaually . Killed him too ." He showed Louis his leg . 

Louis let out a sob and covered his mouth , "I -- "

"You don't have to say anything . It's okay . I know it's too much ." Harry assured him quietly .

"Stop . Harry , I - I'm just glad you're out of danger ." Louis sniffled and wiped his eyes . "Did you -- did you not want to see me b-because of the scar on your face ?"

"I know how it looks . I promise , I understand if you can't --"

"God , are you being serious ?" Louis grabbed his jaw gently to stop him . "I don't mind the scar , Hazzie . Well I mean - I mean , I do mind , because I hate that you're in pain , but - but it's never going to stop me from loving you ."

Louis moved closer to Harry , sitting on the armrest of the armchair and wrapping his arms around his shoulders to hug him . Harry leaned into him , the side of his face pressed to Louis' middle .

"I love you Hazzie . This scar won't change it , you're still my Hazzie and it'll heal and everything will be okay ." Louis kissed the top of his head a few times , before a light smile spread on his lips , "Makes you look proper badass , did you know that ?"

A small laugh escaped Harry's lips , he turned his head up for Louis to kiss him . Louis kissed him softly , being mindful of the scar and stitches .

"I love you baby ."

"I love you Hazzie ."
