Enjoy x

~~

Louis held Harry's bicep in his hand as he walked alongside him , two guards escorting them as they walked past the line and right into the Carnival . Once past the gates Harry turned to the guards , "You're dismissed . Did Victor assign you two somewhere ?"

"Yes , we have our positions already ."

"Good . Dismissed ." Harry nodded at them once and watched as they left to go to their spots .

Louis looked up at Harry , "Haz ?"

Harry turned his attention to Louis , stood in front of him and put his hands on his waist under his warm jacket , "No guards walking around with us , just like you asked ."

"Thank you ." Louis smiled softly . "It really means more than you think , that you allow it to happen ."

"I know , baby ." Harry pulled him a bit closer , "Where do you want to go first ?"

Louis looked around them as he bit his lower lip , "I don't know . We could just walk around ? Then see if there's something fun ."

Harry moved to hold Louis' hand in his , fingers laced together as they walked through the Carnival .

"Oh ! I want to try this one ." Louis pointed to a booth , Harry let Louis pull him along . They waited for the two teenagers to finish their rounds , before Louis stepped to the front with a smile , "Hi . How many tries do I have ?"

The young guy behind the booth fish-mouthed for a few seconds , before shaking out of it and clearing his throat , "Three rounds ."

Louis nodded and thanked him when he was handed three small plastic balls , he pursed his lips together and closed one eye , aiming at the stacked cans . Harry watched him with a soft look in his eyes , his face was relaxed and his lips were twitched upward in a faint smile .

Louis threw the plastic ball , though managed to knock over only the top can . He huffed a bit and took the second ball , startling only a bit when he felt Harry's hands on his waist from behind .

Harry guided him into position and pressed a kiss to the back of his head , then stepped back to let Louis take his round . Louis blushed a bit at the affection display , but then put his focus on the rest of the cans .

He threw the plastic ball , smiling widely when he managed to knock down most of the cans - but had one last can left . He closed one eye and aimed , taking a deep breath in before throwing . He let out a squeal of excitement when he knocked the last can down , "Yes !!"

Harry's smile widened at the sight , he caught Louis when he jumped into his arms , "I did it !" Louis grinned and quickly turned back to the young guy behind the booth , barely even noticing that Harry was about to lean down to kiss him .

"Which one would you like ?" The young guy gestured to the shelf of small stuffed animals , Louis bit his lower lip as he scanned the shelf , "Uhm ... I'll have the brown teddy bear with the light blue sweater , please ."

The young guy handed him his teddy bear , Louis took it with a 'thank you' and a smile , and turned to Harry , "Look I won a stuffie ." He held the teddy bear up for Harry to see .

"Almost as cute as you are ." Harry grabbed Louis' chin and tilted his head up to kiss him once . "Moving on ?"

Louis held Harry's hand , his free arm hugging his teddy bear . "Can we go to the food area ?"

"'Course ." Harry walked them to the food booths , he looked around a bit , "What would you like ?"

"Can we have some fries ? Fries and onion rings ." Louis asked , he was about to pull Harry along towards the booth , but then stopped and gasped a bit , "Haz , change of plans ."

"What is it ?"

Louis nodded his head , "Look , there's an ice-skating rink . Can we go ice skating ? Then we'll eat ."

"Sure . Let's go ." Harry walked them to the rink , he took two pairs of skates and turned to Louis , "Want to give your teddy to one of the guards ? So your hands are free ." Harry called one of the closest guards over , the guard took the teddy bear from Louis , who thanked him shyly .

Louis took his pair of skates from Harry and sat down on the bench , huffing out a laugh when Harry kneeled in front of him and helped him out of his shoes . "What are you doing ?"

Harry looked up at him , "Helping you ."

"I can do this , you know . It's not rocket science ."

"How about you just let me do this ? Chivalry isn't dead , baby ." Harry helped him into the skates and tied the laces tightly . He then sat down next to Louis and put his own skates on .

"Haz ."

Harry turned his head to Louis , who was biting his lower lip , "I haven't skated in years and I'm kind of worried about slipping on the ice in front of everyone ." He said quietly . 

"I won't let you slip ." Harry stood up and held his hands out for Louis to take , Louis grabbed his hands and stood up , the two carefully made their way to the ice rink .

Harry stepped on the ice first and quickly stabilized himself , he grabbed the side railing with one hand , his other hand held out for Louis . Louis held the railing with one hand and Harry's hand with the other , hesitantly stepping on the ice .

"Nothing to worry about . I've got you ." Harry pulled at Louis' hand to bring him closer , Louis gasped a bit and held onto Harry's arms with both hands , "I'm slipping -- I'm slipping ."

"You're not , you're all good ." Harry held onto his waist with his hands , "I said I won't let you slip , did I ?"

Harry let go of Louis' waist and took his hands instead , he skated backwards and pulled Louis along . Louis followed along and quickly found his footing , skating smoothly , "Not so bad ."

"Good , baby ." Harry moved to his side , still holding one of Louis' hands as they skated around the rink . "Enjoying your time here so far ?"

"I always enjoy my time when I spend it with you ." Louis blushed a bit , then giggled , "And what if I said no ?"

"I would've burned the place down ."

Louis laughed at his words , although in the back of his mind he knew it was very much a possibility . 

Harry gave Louis' hand a squeeze , before pulling him towards the middle of the ice rink . Louis followed with a confused look on his face , Harry then stopped and turned to face Louis , his hands holding Louis' small waist .

"What is it ?" Louis asked as his hands instinctively held Harry's biceps above his elbows .

Harry smirked a bit and leaned down , kissing Louis for a few seconds . "Want everyone to see us . Want everyone to see who you are to me , what you are to me ." He kissed him again , pulling him closer and deepening the kiss a bit .

Louis' stomach burst with butterflies as he kissed back , cheeks painting red with blush . He moved one hand up to cup Harry's face , pulling away from the kiss when he needed to breathe , he was speechless and could only look up at Harry through his lashes .

"Cute ." Harry kissed him once more , "Want to skate some more ? Or get some food ?"

Louis' stomach rumbled a bit at the mention of food , making the two laugh a bit .

"Food it is ." Harry kissed his forehead and let go of his waist to hold his hand instead , the couple left the ice rink and went to take the skates off .

Louis huffed through a smile when Harry kneeled in front of him to take his skates off , Harry glared at him playfully , "Stop it ." He untied the laces of the skates .

"Haz I really can do this ." Louis pouted a bit , "You don't have to ."

"I'm not doing this because I have to . I'm doing this because I want to ." Harry slid the skates off Louis' feet and put them aside , "You can't fight me over chivalry ."

"And still ... you know you d-don't -- h-hey ." Louis was cut off by his giggles when Harry grabbed his ankle and tickled his foot with the most serious look on his face . 

"O-Okay , okay , I'll s-stop ." Louis laughed softly and reached his hands down to stop the tickles , Harry leaned in and kissed the corner of his lips , "That's what I thought ."
