Summary : Louis has to physically fight Harry to get him to snap out .

Enjoy x

~~

Louis took Chess , Mint and Zeus out to the local park , he stood smiling as he watched the three dogs running around the grass field .

His phone started ringing in his pocket , he took it out and smiled when he saw that it was Harry .

"Hey Hazzie ."

"Hi baby . I'm going out for a ride , are you still out ?"

"Yeah , I'm at the park with the pups ."

"I'll come see you , be there in ten ."

"Okay ." Louis smiled , "Can we go get drinks when you get here ? I was going to get myself one anyway ."

"Of course . See you baby ."

"See you ."

They hung up , Zeus ran over to Louis holding the slobbery tennis ball that Louis threw minutes ago in his mouth . Louis took it from him and threw it away again , taking a tissue out of his pocket to wipe his fingers . He loved his dogs with his entire heart , yet hated how they drooled all over their tennis balls .

He looked behind him , where he heard loud laughter from a distance . He saw three guys huddled together , talking to each other and laughing . He looked back to the dogs to make sure the three were still in sight , before looking at the three guys again .

He saw liquor bottles in their hands , and how every time they laughed too hard they had a hard time keeping their balance . Clearly drunk , in the middle of the day , slowly but surely making their way down the path headed in Louis' direction .

Louis stepped off the path and walked further into the grass field , though stayed closeby for Harry to see him - he was at the spot he was always at , and Harry knew exactly where he always took the dogs to when he brought them to the park .

He watched the three dogs running around the field , chasing the rolling tennis ball , when there was a loud whistle from behind him , startling him .

"Oi , nice arse you've got there ."

Louis ignored them , hoping they would walk away before Harry got there .

"Turn around and show us your pretty face , will you ?" A new voice said .

Louis crossed his arms over his middle as he huffed quietly and prayed they would just leave him be .

"Don't ignore us , we're just being nice , you whore ."

It went on for several minutes ; the guys kept talking to Louis , throwing ugly comments though never got close to him . Louis ignored them , though now had Chess sitting beside him facing the three guys . Louis held onto his collar just to make sure he wouldn't charge at them .

It was only when he heard the cocking of a gun that he snapped around to face the three guys .

He saw Harry standing there , holding his gun at the side of his body as he glared at the three guys . He had two guards with him , standing on each side of him holding their guns aswell .

Louis walked closer and stood in front of Harry , "Hey , drop it . They're drunk ."

The three guys grabbed at each other fearfully at the sight of Harry , stumbling as they walked backwards .

Harry walked forward to get closer to them , his guards following .

Louis put both his hands to Harry's chest as he tried to stop him , walking backwards as he kept himself between Harry and the drunk guys . "Stop it , leave them be . Harry I'm serious ."

Harry wasn't even paying attention to Louis or what he was saying , his entire focus was on the three rude guys who dared to open their mouths and speak like that to his lover . Drunk or not , Harry couldn't let them get away with it .

Louis panicked , he didn't want Harry to start fighting the guys in broad daylight ; the three were drunk and clearly feared him , he just wanted them to walk away . He felt tears stinging his eyes , his heart raced , he couldn't stop Harry no matter how much he tried to push .

Without thinking about it too much , Louis grabbed Harry's shirt in his fists and jerked his knee upwards , hitting Harry in the crotch as hard as he could .

Harry finally stopped , a faint gasp leaving his lips as his body bent forward in surprise just a bit . He looked down at Louis ; his eyes were a dark shade of green , pupils wide and brows pinched in a frown .

"Snap out ." Louis unintentionally sniffled .

Harry looked at Louis , then looked up at the three guys who were still stumbling to get away . No , can't let them get away .

Louis brought his hand up and slapped Harry across the face , "Snap out of it !"

Harry's head whipped to the side for a second , before he returned his gaze to Louis . Louis held his jaw tightly to stop it from wobbling ; he was actually scared that Harry was going to hurt someone .

Harry stood still as he watched the three guys walking away , his cheek stung just a bit from the slap . Louis wiped his cheeks from tears and turned to Harry's two guards , "Could you please make sure th-they leave the park ? Don't get close to them and don't do anything to hurt them , just - just make sure they leave ."

The two nodded , Louis thanked them as they walked away .

The three dogs slowly walked over to the couple , Mint nuzzled against Louis' thigh to try to comfort him . Louis stepped away from Harry and dried his eyes , "I-I'm going back to the office building ." He put the leashes back on the three dogs .

"I'll drive you ." Harry said .

"No . I want to walk , alone ." Louis shook his head , "I'll talk to you later ." And with that he walked away .

Louis was in the living room , laying under a soft blanket to keep himself warm and holding a mug of hot chocolate in his hands .

He looked up when Harry walked towards him , sitting on the edge of the couch in front of him .

Harry gently grabbed one of Louis' hands from around the mug , holding it with both his massive hands . He kissed his knuckles as he kept his gaze on him , "I'm sorry , baby ."

Louis bit his lower lip . "Do you even know what you're sorry for ?" He asked quietly .

"I'm sorry that I scared you . I'm sorry that I almost went feral over three drunk guys ." Harry held Louis' hand to his chest . "I'm not sorry for standing up for you and protecting you ."

Louis huffed and nudged his finger into Harry's chest , "How many times do I have to tell you that drawing a gun at people is not a solution ?"

Harry kept quiet . He disagreed , though said nothing to not upset Louis further .

"You really scared me . I was afraid you'll hurt them . They were drunk and not in the right state of mind to even know what they were doing ."

"It's not an excuse , baby . Nothing can excuse talking to you like that ."

"You need to find other solutions to these minor problems , then . Escort them away , tell them to step away from us , ask your guards to take them away ." Louis listed , "Drawing a gun at people is not always the solution . I-It can be in certain times , but today wasn't one of those times at all ."

Harry sighed , "Baby . Let me do my job . I know how to do it , been doing that for years . Long enough to know how to handle situations ." He brought Louis' hand to his lips and kissed his knuckles , "I know that you disagree with me , and that's perfectly fine ."

Louis pouted a bit , his hand limp in Harry's hold as he sipped on his hot chocolate .

"Do you forgive me for being a jerk ?"

"Do you promise to handle situations better ?"

Harry felt a smile tugging on his lips . "For you , I will ."

Louis put his mug down on the table and moved closer , wrapping his arms around Harry's shoulders . "I'm sorry I kneed you down there . A-And slapped you ."

"It's all good ." Harry wrapped his arms around him tightly and squeezed him close , a smile slowly spread on his lips , "You sure know how to knee someone in the balls , baby , I'm proud of you ."

"Stop it , you know I don't like violence ." Louis hid his face in Harry's neck .

"I know . Still very proud ." Harry nodded , "How about I run you a hot bath as an apology ?"

"Only if you join me ."

"Let's go , then ."
