“Louis! Harry!” Louis and Harry squirmed a bit as voices were called. “Boys!”    

Harry blinked his eyes open slowly looking around. Louis and him were a pile of intertwined limbs and bare chests. “I’ll go wake them!” He heard a voice say excitedly.    

It took a him a moment of hearing a pair of feet stomping around for him to process what as happening. “Shit, Lou!” Harry tried to wiggle out of his hold but Louis had a tight grip on him which was making him fade in and out slightly. Come on, stay here, he told himself. “Louis you need to let me go.”    

“Comfy,” Louis mumbled into his skin, his fingers digging into Harry’s sides.    

Harry’s mind was racing between the thoughts of a little girl bursting through that door any moment and the images flashing in front of him. It was a weird feeling, it felt like his body and mind were literally moving in between two different worlds. Once second he’s looking down at Louis and the next he he’s himself pinned to the bed with tears in his eyes. “Please,” He begged having more and more trouble seeing Louis.    

“Wha?” Louis said finally opening his eyes to see Harry’s eyes rolling back. “Shit!”    

“Your s-sister,” Harry managed pointing to the door. Louis let go of Harry and Harry brought himself to his feet. He felt sick to his stomach and dizzy. The room was spinning.    

“Breakfast is ready!” Phoebe grinned walking in. “Mum’s been calling you.”    

Harry couldn’t hear or see anything anymore. This was different, this wasn’t like what normally happens when he has flashback. “Phoebe, I need you to to tell Mum we will be down in just a minute. I need you to send Anne up as well please,” Louis said carefully and calmly.    

Phoebe left the room just as Harry dropped. His body was shaking and his eyes were rolled back. Harry had no idea what was going on. He laid there feeling cold and nauseous. He could faintly feel hands on him and people talking back and forth for a moment. He put a hand over his mouth feeling the bile rise. He was flipped over just in time as he let out the contents of his stomach. He felt disgusted with himself. Years, he let it happen to him for years. He wanted Aiden to feel pain, he wanted him to see the hell he’s put Harry in. Harry rolled back his breathing fast and uneven before he finally just fell asleep because it’s all he could do. He was stuck in that in-between state, he wasn’t really anywhere.

~.~    

Harry woke up what felt like only 10 minutes later, but was actually hours when he noticed it was already 3 in the afternoon and he had first woken up around 7 or so before school started. He rubbed at his eyes for a moment before standing himself up. He felt the cold metal of his necklace land against his skin. He smiled down at it remembering letting his problems drifting away. He guesses it didn’t quite work.     Harry made his way out of he bedroom and downstairs. The house was quiet. He grabbed a banana from the counter and began eating it wondering where everyone was. Once he as done eating he tossed the peal into the trash bin. He made his way into the living room before spotting Louis asleep on the couch. He was curled up into a ball under a small blanket and looked really freaking cute.     Harry walked over to Louis and poked his shoulder. “Louis?” Louis grumbled in response curling further into the couch. “Louis, wake up.”    

Louis mumbled a bit before finally opening his eyes. It took him a moment, but as soon as he spotted Harry he was upright. “You’re awake. Hey,” Louis reached out grabbing Harry’s hands and pulling him into his lap hugging him. “Are you okay?”    

Harry froze for a moment, but quickly relaxed into Louis’ hold, hugging him right back. “I’m-I’m fine yeah. Still a little tired, but fine.”    

“What happened?” Louis asked leaning back.    

“I-I don’t know really. We were sleeping and I could hear you Mum calling us and then Phoebe saying she would wake us up. I tried to move, but you were holding me. I kept flashing in and out, but by the time you let me go I was stuck?” He said as more of a question. “I don’t really know. I couldn’t hear or see anything really. I wasn’t here or there. I just felt tired, dizzy, and sick. Then I just felt so much self hatred. I fell asleep because I literally couldn’t bring myself out of it or push myself into it just to get it over with.”    

Louis stared at Harry intently, “I’m sorry. I should’ve just let you go.”    

“No, no. It’s fine, not your fault.”    

Louis just nodded, but was still unsure. “Kay.”    

“Is anyone home?”    

“No, it’s just us.”    

With that Harry pressed his lips against Louis to reassure him everything was okay. “Not your fault,” He whispered against his lips. “I promise.”    

Louis smiled and nodded. “Yeah, okay.”    

“I um, did make a decision though.”    

“About?”    

“I, I want to visit Aiden.”    

“Are you sure?” Louis asked.    

“Y-yeah. I think it’s time,” He said nodding, trying to reassure himself rather than Louis.

~.~    

“Tomlinslut open the damn door!” A voice screamed as they continued to knock.    

“I’m coming Whoran!” Louis called back untangling himself from Harry and walking to the door. He opened it up to the see the boys and someone else. “Hey, who’s that?”    

Niall smiled, “This is Lucas!”    

“Oh the lad you were snogging the other day,” Louis smirked.    

Lucas just blushed and Niall grabbed his hand, “Oh shut it.”    

“What are you guys doing here?”    

“One, you missed practice,” Liam started and he an boys walked in. “And two, we haven’t seen you all day and wanted to make sure you were alive.    

“Hey Harry!” Zayn said as they all took a seat.    

“Hi.”    

“You skip today too?”    

“I uh-”    

“He didn’t skip,” Louis interrupted. He’s been with me. He wasn’t feeling good this morning.”    

“So what, you’ve been like taking care of him or something?” Niall wondered.    

“Yes. I can be a good brother.”    

Harry closed his eyes at the sound of that word again. God, they were disgusting weren’t they? “Is he doing a good job Harry, you look kind of funky,” Liam noted.    

“I’m fine,” He covered. “Just bee a long day.” Harry took a deep breath composing himself. “Lucas was it?”    

“Yeah,” Lucas smiled.    

“It’s very nice to meet you,” Harry reached over and shook his hand.    

Lucas nodded and sat back into Niall’s arms. “Mine,” Niall said narrowing his eyes at Harry.    

Harry just laughed, “Before you even went over there you hated him and called him  PowderPuff.”    

Lucas turned to Niall and glared, “PowderPuff?”    

Niall just smiled innocently, “A cute PowderPuff.”    

Lucas just rolled his eyes, “I swear Niall, if you weren’t adorable.”    

“Oh please, you couldn’t resist me.”    

“And we’re done,” Zayn chimed in making them all laugh. “You two have known each other only a few days and you’re already so cute you’re like throwing rainbows everywhere, it’s sickening really. I don’t know whether to coo or slap you.”    

“I have no idea why I’m friends with you people,” Louis said.    

Zayn smiled wrapping his arms around Louis’ waist and pulling him onto his lap. “It’s because you love us!” Zayn grabbed Louis’ cheeks planting a sloppy kiss on his lips.    

Harry shifted in his seat. Well, that was unnecessary. “Gross!” Louis laughed wiping his lips.    

“You know love these lips, don’t even deny it. Remember that one time where you snuck out at like, what two in the morning. You called me up and was like, ‘Zayn baby I need you to come over right now I want you to-”    

“That’s enough!” Louis called covering Zayn’s mouth. He looked back and saw Harry was already gone before the slamming of a door was heard.

~.~    

Harry spent the next few hours in their room while Louis hung out with the guys. Louis figured he could use the space for now. It wasn’t until around 6 when Louis finally came in. “Hey,” He said softly.    

“Is anyone home yet?” Harry asked. He wasn’t going to get into it with Louis if there were people here.    

“Uh, no. Our Mum’s took the girls out for dinner. I told them we were all set. That you still weren’t doing to good.”    

“Kay,” Was all Harry said.    

“Harry,” Louis sighed. “We’re just friends now, I told you that.”    

“It’s not that.”    

“Then what’s the issue?”    

“I don’t even know. He should know he shouldn’t be kissing you for you, friendly or not!” Harry started, throwing his arms up into the air. “Also, I don’t want to know about whatever it is you two did. I hate the fact that he’s been with you before and you’re still friends because, he’s always going to know you in that way and I don’t like it.”    

Louis walked over sitting on the end of Harry’s bed. “Harry, he knows me a cheap fuck. We were never together on a romantic level. You know me in other ways. You know me for me and I like you. I know it’s weird, but we know each other in different ways. I will talk to Zayn and tell him not to bring anything like that up again.”    

“Okay,” Harry said quietly.    

Louis smiled climbing up the mattress till he was hovering above Harry. “You’re cute when you’re jealous you know that?”    

Harry furrowed his eyebrows, “I wasn’t jealous, just irritated is all.”    

“Jealous.”    

“Irritated.”    

“Jealous.”    

“Either you just kiss me already or I’m shoving you off my bed.”    

“I pick door number 1 please,” Louis laughed before leaning down and kissing Harry softly.    

They continued to kiss for while before they curled up and just laid in silence, Louis idly playing with their intertwined hands. When they heard the front door open and close and several girls chatting they broke apart and went downstairs. “Hi Mum,” Harry said.    

“Harry!” She walked over hugging him tightly. “You look so much better. We’re talking about this later got it?” She said so only he heard.    

“Okay,” Harry nodded.    

“You boys want to join us in a quick card game before bed?” Jay asked.    

“Sure,” They both nodded sitting down, as a family, and played.

~.~    

Louis lost early on and snuck off to their room. Harry continued to play and he was actually having fun and smiling. He was sad when it was over, but was tired. He bid them all goodnight before making his way upstairs. Louis was in the bathroom showering when he came into the room. Harry was just too tired and planned to shower in the morning. He pulled his t-shirt off and changed into new sweatpants before locking the bedroom door and climbing into Louis’ bed and closing his eyes.    

He could hear Louis turn the water off and brush his teeth and get dressed before he opened his eyes and saw Louis standing in the doorway smiling at him, “So what, is this now our bed?”    

“Yes,” Was all Harry provided.    

Louis just laughed before climbing in behind Harry and wrapping an arm around him.

“So, I uh, made a call while you were downstairs,” Louis started carefully.    

“What do you mean?”    

“I got Aiden’s Mum’s phone number.”    

Harry tensed. “And?”    

“I told her I was an old friend and heard he was in town. She said she was sure Aiden would be happy to see me again and she gave me his number to make plans with him.”    

“Oh. What did you do?”    

“I texted him and told him I used to go to school with him and asked if we could meet up. He didn’t really question me much and agreed.”    

“When?”    

“Saturday at 3.”    

All Harry could manage was a nod as tears were already spilling down his cheeks.
