Summary : Harry feels under the weather , and Louis springs into Doctor Mode .

Enjoy x

~~

Louis knocked on the door to Harry's home office before poking his head in , "Hazzie ?"

Harry looked away from the computer screen , "Come in baby ."

"How long have you been in here ?" Louis asked as he stepped into the room , walking towards Harry . He frowned , "Are you feeling alright ?" He asked when he noticed Harry's heavy blinking and the way he was trying to hold his head upwards .

"Yeah , I'm good ." Harry gave him a smile , though Louis saw through it ; he saw the discomfort , the unwellness .

When Louis was close enough he cupped Harry's face , "Hey ." He made Harry look up at him , he moved his hands from his cheeks to his forehead , then down to his neck . "You're feeling warm ."

"I'm alright ." Harry put his hands on Louis' wrists , Louis shook his head as he held Harry's face , "You don't feel or look alright , Harry ."

"Baby , --"

"Shh . Save up your work and come with me ." Louis pushed Harry's hair up from his forehead . He watched as Harry took the computer mouse and saved the work he'd done before closing all of the open tabs and shutting his computer off .

Louis took Harry's hand and lead him out of his office , "How long have you been feeling like this ?"

"I'm feeling okay baby , no need to fuss over it ." Harry let Louis walk them into their bedroom , Louis pushed him to sit on the bed , "Wait here ." He went to the bathroom and retrieved the thermometer .

Harry chuckled a bit as Louis put the thermometer in his mouth , holding his jaw closed until it beeped . Louis grabbed the stick and looked at the results with a tiny pout , "It's not a fever but you're warm ."

"I did say there's --"

"Yeah , well , I'm not asking you because you're not a factor . You could tell me you're feeling great while having bullet wounds . So I'm not asking you , I'm telling you - no work for like , two or three days ."

Harry raised an eyebrow at him , Louis put his hands on his hips with the same challenging look , "If you piss me off I'll make it four ."

"What's your plan then , Doctor ?" Harry ignored the heavy pain of the headache as he focused on Louis , leaning back on his arms .

"Go shower , you're a bit sticky from the sweat . Think you'll be okay with showering in cold water ? Not freezing cold , just a bit less warm ." Louis asked as he wrapped his arms around Harry's shoulders and hugged him .

Harry nuzzled against Louis' middle , "I can do anything you ask me to ."

Harry showered and joined Louis back in their room , smiling when he saw Louis moving the covers back for him .

"Get in ." Louis nudged him a bit as he walked towards the door , "I'll be right back ."

Harry sat in bed and put the covers over his lap , he waited for Louis to be out of sight before he let out a quiet groan and rubbed at his eyes ; his head had been hurting the entire day and all he wanted to do was take some painkillers and sleep .

Louis returned a minute later with a glass of water and a bottle of painkillers , he handed Harry the cup before opening the bottle and taking two pills out , handing them to Harry aswell .

Harry swallowed the pills and moved to put the glass on the beside table , though Louis stopped him , "Finish the glass , please Hazzie ."

"Am I going to have to stay in bed alone for longer ?" Harry asked with a smile as he drank more of his water .

"I'm just getting us something to eat , then I'll be right with you ." Louis walked out of the room again .

Harry put the pillows behind his back as he leaned backwards , he closed his eyes as he waited for the painkillers to kick in . He was slipping in and out of consciousness when he heard Louis' light steps walking into the room , he opened his eyes and saw Louis holding a tray as he tiptoed as quietly as he could .

"Sorry , didn't mean to wake you up ." Louis put the tray down on the dresser under the TV , "You can go back to sleep , I'll eat and join you ."

"No baby , let's eat together ." Harry sat up , Louis brought the tray to bed and put it down , carefully sitting next to Harry .

After their small dinner Louis took the tray back to the kitchen , he grabbed two water bottles and joined Harry in their room . Harry finished brushing his teeth and was back in bed , Louis brushed his teeth quickly and joined Harry in bed , holding his arms open for Harry .

Harry shuffled closer , he put his arms around Louis and let his head rest under Louis' chin ; he loved being the big spoon and hold Louis , though today he wanted to let Louis be the one holding him for a change .

Louis tangled his fingers in Harry's hair at the back of his head , his other hand rubbing up and down his back . 

~~

Louis woke up first . It almost never happened .

Harry was still asleep , face pressed to Louis' neck and arms lazily laying around his tiny body . Harry's forehead was warm against Louis' skin , his skin only slightly damp .

Louis moved Harry's hair back and pressed his lips to his forehead , letting out a soft sigh . He slowly untangled himself from Harry's arms , smiling when Harry stirred awake and opened his eyes .

"Where are you going ?" Harry asked as his eyes fluttered back shut .

"Doctor Louis needs to take care of you ." Louis crawled back closer and kissed his cheek , Harry smiled with his hand resting in Louis' lap , "You're so cute ."

"I'll be back soon . Sit up so you can take your pills ." Louis moved off the bed and grabbed the bottle of painkillers , handing Harry two pills when he sat up .

"Brekkie will be ready in a bit , you can sleep for longer ." Louis pushed Harry back gently until he was laying again and tucked the blankets around him . "Comfy ?"

Harry smiled and took one hand out of the blankets to wrap his arm around Louis , "I'll be comfier with you here too ." He half-heartedly tried to pull him in .

Louis giggled as he moved away , "Stop , I need to make brekkie and talk to Zayn ." He grabbed Harry's hand with both his smaller ones , "I'll come cuddle soon ."

"You'd better ." Harry squeezed his fingers lightly .

Louis took his phone with him downstairs , talking to Zayn over the phone while he made breakfast for himself and for Harry ; he wasn't the best cook , but managed to make some scrambled eggs with bacon bits , he cut up some vegetables , made toasted bread with cream cheese and added two glasses of orange juice .

Zayn told him that Harry only needed to rest and take his pills , and that Louis should keep track of his temperature to make sure it didn't go higher . He also suggested that Harry sat outside a bit in the sun , or went on a short walk .

After making breakfast and talking to Zayn , Louis called Rodrigo and asked if he could cook some food for Harry ; chicken soup , rice with vegetables , roasted vegetables . Rodrigo said he'd cook everything and send it with Victor or one of the guards . Louis then called Victor to make sure he knew about it and to contact him when they arrived .

Louis took the breakfast tray upstairs and smiled when he saw Harry half asleep ; he almost never got to see Harry asleep , as he was always the first one to wake up and barely had any naps , unlike Louis who loved a good nap during his day .

He placed the tray down quietly , giving Harry an apologetic smile when he opened his eyes , "Sorry Hazzie , go back to sleep ."

"No . Come here ." Harry sat up and put pillows behind his back , "Want to have my breakfast with you ."

Louis brought the tray to bed and sat in front of Harry , Harry smiled down at the tray , "Spoiling me , aren't you ?" He grabbed a piece of toasted bread .

"I quite enjoy this , me taking care of you , and like , taking care of things ." Louis smiled with pink blush on his cheeks , "I love doing stuff for you ."

"I love doing stuff for you aswell ." Harry winked at him .

After breakfast Louis took the tray back to the kitchen before returning to Harry upstairs . He kept his phone next to him for when Victor or one of the guards would call , he sat next to Harry and let Harry rest his head in his lap .

He ran his fingers through his hair and traced his fingertips from the back of Harry's neck , down his spine and all over his shoulders . He traced some scars , traced his tattoos , massaged his neck and shoulders to help him relax .

He took pictures of Harry cuddled up against him , then some videos of his hand running through Harry's hair , rubbing his back . He loved having soft pictures and videos of Harry on his phone .

Harry fell asleep , his sleep was light though he was relaxed . The last time he had proper rest and someone to take care of him was when his mother was still alive . He went through years of taking care of himself , went through years of not relying on anyone to be there - until Louis came into his life .

The feeling of being able to let go - even if it was only for a little bit - was unfamiliar . He felt relaxed but at the same time he was disoriented , as if something wasn't fully right . He knew more than anything that he was in good hands , that letting go for that short time period wouldn't do harm to anyone - yet still , in the back of his head , he felt out of order , disoriented .

Two hours later Louis' phone vibrated ; he turned it off sound incase Harry was asleep , he didn't want the ringing to wake him up . He saw it was Victor and slowly moved out of bed , Harry groaned as he stirred awake .

Louis pouted , "Sorry Hazzie . Go back to sleep I'll be right back ." He placed a pillow where he was sitting and pressed a quick kiss to Harry's temple , picking up his phone and walking out of the room .

He met Victor at the front of the mansion and let him and another guard in , the two carried the food Rodrigo cooked for Harry into the kitchen . Louis thanked them as they helped him fit everything into the fridge and apologized that Harry wasn't there aswell . The two assured him it was all good and sent Harry get well soon wishes before leaving .

~~

In the early afternoon , after the couple had lunch together , Louis laid out a blanket outside in the backyard on the grass and took Harry outside for a bit .

"You're adorable , baby ." Harry smiled at the sight of the picnic blanket ; there were snacks and drinks sitting ontop of the blanket . "You don't have to do all of this , I'm feeling much better already ."

"Nope , two days minimum . Then you can go back to working from your home office for two more days , then you can go back to the office building ." Louis said as he and Harry sat down on the blanket . He sat on his knees and reached for some snacks , "Which one do you want ?"

"I'll take the blueberry muffin ." Harry held his hand out , Louis handed him a muffin and took a chocolate chip muffin for himself . He handed Harry a water bottle , which Harry took aswell with a smile .

The two ate more of the snacks , Louis laid on his back with his head on a pillow he brought outside , Harry leaned his head on Louis' stomach and held Louis' hand to his chest .

Louis poked his cheek gently without taking his hand out of Harry's , "Hazzie ."

Harry turned his head a bit to Louis , Louis gave him a smile , "Will you let me take care of you more often ? I mean , not only when you're not feeling well ."

"You already take care of me more than you'd think so ." Harry turned to lay on his side , head heavy as he sighed , "You're my cure to pretty much everything . When I'm stressed you relieve it , when I'm angry you calm me down . I'm not lonely , I'm never ever bored , I'm much happier than I used to be before you . You've got that antidote ."

Louis pressed his palm to Harry's cheek , "That's so sweet ." He pouted a bit , before sitting up to kiss him . Harry's head moved to his lap , they kissed softly only for a bit before Louis pulled back .

"No , come back here ." Harry tried pulling Louis closer , Louis giggled a bit , "Stop , you're still sick ."

"I'm so much better . You make me better ." Harry smiled at the sight of Louis' pink cheeks .

"Stop , no , not until you're proper up on your feet again ." Louis put his hand over Harry's mouth , small chuckles still leaving his lips .

"We've already established you're my antidote , baby , let me kiss you ." Harry grabbed Louis' hand off his mouth , "One more kiss ."

Louis kissed him once more , "Last one ." He pulled back and squished his cheeks gently , "You're lucky I can't resist you ."

"Feeling's mutual , baby ."
