"Hazzie ." Louis patted Harry's arm , "I need to go to the bathroom ."

The couple was out at a local bar with Zayn and Liam , they were sitting at a booth on the second floor , Louis was in the inner seat of the booth with Zayn sitting in front of him .

"Let's go ." Harry slid out of the booth , Louis shuffled out of the seat and pressed to Harry's side as his arm wrapped around his waist . He'd given up on fighting Harry to not go to the bathroom with him a long time ago .

The two walked into the bathroom , Harry made a quick check of the stalls before turning to Louis , "Go baby ."

"Can you wait outside ?" Louis pouted , "This is embarrassing ."

"No ."

"Well then atleast stand at the door halfway out ? With the door open ? Let the music muffle out the sound ." Louis pleaded with pink cheeks .

Harry sighed and turned to the door , he opened it a bit as he kept his hand on the door handle .

"Thank you ." Louis said before going into one of the stalls . He finished quickly and stepped out of the stall , going to wash his hands .

"Wasn't so bad , was it ?" Harry teased a bit , Louis rolled his eyes and grabbed some paper towels to dry his hands , "Shut it ." 

He walked over to Harry , who turned to the exit and opened the door wider . He stopped in his spot when he saw a guy in front of him , holding a kitchen knife at him pointed to his middle .

The guy took a step forward , prompting Harry to take a step back . He kept Louis behind him , arm extended backwards to make sure he stayed there .

Louis , who caught sight of the knife , felt his heart racing in his chest as he tried not to make any sounds . He took steps back along with Harry as the guy walked into the bathroom and closed the door behind him .

"You do realize what you're doing , don't you ?" Harry asked calmly ; he wasn't affected by the situation , he was unamused , annoyed and starting to get angry .

"You got my dad in jail for fucking nothing ." The guy pointed the knife closer to Harry , who looked down at the knife and then back up at the guy .

"How about you tell me your dad's name , and I'll tell you why he's in jail ."

"Whatever it is , it's a fucking lie ." The guy seethed , "Get him the fuck out of there ."

"That's not how it works ." Harry shook his head , taking another step backwards when the guy stepped forward . "I have every proof that's needed . If he's in jail , he deserves to be there and he will stay there ."

The guy let out a battle cry and started swinging the knife at Harry a few times , trying to stab or cut him . Harry leaned back with every swing of his arm , pushing Louis far away from the two of them .

He grabbed the guy's wrist mid air , wrapping his free hand around the guy's hand around the knife . The guy used his free hand to punch Harry in the face , though Harry didn't falter and shoved the guy backwards until his back hit the wall .

The guy kicked at Harry's shin then kneed him in the crotch , pushing him off before charging at him again with the knife .

Louis watched in horror as the two fought , he couldn't make a sound , couldn't move . He covered his mouth with his hands , eyes wide and glossy as he watched .

Harry punched the guy in the nose with full force , though at the same time the guy swung the knife at him , leaving a small cut across his arm . The guy stumbled backwards , Harry wrapped one hand around the guy's hand that was holding the knife , his other hand wrapping around the guy's throat to strangle him .

He pinned him to the stall's door and tried getting the guy to drop the knife , pressing his hand to his neck harshly and watching him turning red and blue , veins showing under the skin .

The guy fought with everything in him , pointing the knife to Harry in the struggle . Harry was getting fed up , he twisted the guy's wrist and snapped it inwards , making him cry in pain . Harry made a quick move and shoved their hands with the knife forward , stabbing the guy in the chest . He unwrapped his hand , only to punch down on the knife and shove it deeper .

He let the guy go , watching him sliding to the floor . Then he turned to look at Louis ; Louis' eyes were wide in horror as he watched , he didn't dare moving , barely even dared to breathe , only let tears run down his cheeks .

Harry took a step towards him , though froze in his spot when Louis stumbled away from him , whimpering in fear . The look of pure fear on his face , eyes filled with horror and tears - because of him - made his chest ache .

Louis was crying and shaking in the corner of the bathroom and Harry just stood there ; he wanted to go closer , wanted to hold him until he was okay again , but Louis was so scared of him .

He took his radio out of the back of his belt . "All units , we have a situation in the bar's bathrooms . Victor , come in here . Liam , call the police . The rest of you , start evacuating the place ."

Harry put the radio back in his pocket and took a deep breath in , before moving away to give Louis a clear path to the door . 

Louis didn't waste a second and ran to the door , he threw it open and fled the bathrooms , leaving Harry to frown at the back of his head .

Louis ran past Victor and the guards , quickly returning to where Liam and Zayn were . Liam was busy talking on the radio and his phone , so he walked over to Zayn and grabbed his arm with both his hands .

Zayn looked at him and frowned , "Hey -- Lou what happened ?"

"G-Get me out of here ." Louis' voice trembled as he tried not to cry .

"Where's Harry ? Did he tell you to leave ?" Zayn asked , he put his arm around Louis' small shoulders and turned to Liam , "Oi Liam , come over here ."

Liam walked over as he hung up the phone , "What's up ."

"Ask Harry if we need to get Louis home ." Zayn said , Liam looked at Louis and frowned at the look on his face . He took his radio , "Harry this is Liam . Should we take Louis home ?"

Seconds later Harry answered , "Yes . Take him wherever he wants to go , let me know where he's staying ."

Zayn squeezed Louis' shoulders , "Let's go ." He turned to Liam , "I'll text you when I get to the mansion ."

"N-Not the mansion ." Louis shook his head , "Somewhere else ."

Zayn and Liam shared a concerned look . Zayn nodded , "Alright . Let's get out of here and we can decide when we get to the car ."

Louis was curled up sitting on Zayn's couch in his living room ; it was late at night , one thirty a.m , and he was waiting for Harry to come over .

He managed to calm down , with Zayn's help ; Zayn gave him a much needed cuddle and the two talked about what Louis saw .

"I kn-know he does ... things , to people . But seeing him doing it was s-so scary ." Louis sniffled into Zayn's shoulder , "I d-didn't want to see ."

"The first time I was in a situation like yours was scary to me , too . Some thugs were being violent in the hospital , and so Harry and two guards had to physically fight them to get them out of the building . It was messy and I was honestly not prepared for it ." Zayn rubbed Louis' back , "But then Harry walked back in and he was just Harry , you know . It didn't change who he really was ."

Louis moved back from their hug and dried his eyes and cheeks , sniffling quietly .

"He's still Harry , he's still the same man who is so in love with you ." Zayn gave him a smile , "Remember that always ."

He could hear Harry's Range Rover parking outside the house , and seconds later there was a knock on the front door . Zayn walked out of the kitchen and unlocked the door , opening it and letting Harry in , "Hey mate ."

Harry nodded at him silently as he stepped in , Zayn closed the door , "He's in the living room , I was just making us some tea . Should I make you one too ?"

"Coffee . Black ." Harry nodded before walking into the living room .

Louis looked up at him , cuddled under a warm blanket with his knees curled to his chest . Harry stayed standing at the entrace , he wasn't sure if Louis wanted him close or not .

"How are you feeling ?" Harry asked softly , Louis shrugged a bit , "I'm okay ."

"Don't say that you're okay if you aren't ."

Louis looked up at him for a few seconds , his eyes fell on the wrapped cut on his arm before lifting his blanket up a bit in a silent invite for Harry to come sit next to him . Harry walked over slowly and sat down , lifting his arm up for Louis to cuddle into his side .

"I'm better , that's for sure ." Louis laid the blanket over Harry's lap aswell as he cuddled into his side , "You just -- you scared me ."

"I could tell . The look on your face was evident enough ." Harry gripped the back of the couch to hold himself back from grabbing Louis and pulling him into his lap ; he wanted to take things slowly and not force him into anything . "I never want you to be scared of me , baby ."

"You didn't do it on purpose . You were protecting us from that guy , it's just -- it's not like I don't know what you do , or what you're capable of . Seeing you do these things is ... scary to me ." Louis toyed with his sweater paws . "I'm not scared of you , I'm more scared of things that you do ."

"I'm sorry you had to see that . If I could've taken you out of there before I did anything , I would have . I never want you to see that side of me , especially knowing it scares you ." Harry pressed his nose to Louis' temple , slowly lowering his arm to wrap around Louis' back .

Louis turned his body more to the side so he could press his face to Harry's neck . "It's not like I've never seen you fight before . O-Or that one time in Section C ... it's just not something I like seeing , I don't like all that violence and it scares me ." 

"I know , baby . I know you don't like violence . I'll do anything I can to keep you away from any situation that could involve violence ." Harry squeezed him gently and kissed the top of his head .

"Thank you ." Louis said quietly . "I'm actually getting a bit sleepy now ."

"Let's go home , have a shower and get in bed ." Harry rubbed his back , "Sounds good ?"

Louis hummed and snuggled a bit closer to Harry , who in return wrapped both his arms tightly around him and peppered kisses ontop of his head .
