Harry woke up to Stone licking his cheek , he laughed sleepily and pushed him away , "I'm up , I'm up you beast ."

Stone jumped off the bed and barked for Harry to join him , Harry turned to lie on his front , "What do you want to do today ?"

Stone stared at him and wagged his tail , Harry chuckled to himself , "Are you going to answer me ?"

Stone just kept staring , Harry rolled his eyes and reached for his phone , "What do you say about inviting Louis over for breakfast ?"

Stone barked as an answer , Harry chuckled and patted the bed , "Come here , let's call him ."

Stone jumped next to him as he reached over to his phone from the nightstand , calling Louis . He answered after a few rings .

"Hello ?"

"Good morning , tiny angel ." Harry smiled .

"Morning , Hazza ."

"Stone woke me up a few minutes ago , and we thought you could join us for breakfast , what do you say ?"

"Sure , sounds great ."

"Okay , then I'll come to pick you up in a bit , okay ? Stone misses you too . Say hi bud ," Harry held his phone towards Stone , who barked excitedly . He pressed the phone back to his ear to hear Louis giggling .

"I'll go get ready , then ."

"Alright , see you soon ."

"See you two soon ."

They hung up , Harry sat up and scratched behind Stone's ear , "I want you on your best behaviour around Louis , yeah ?"

Stone wagged his tail and licked his cheek , making Harry chuckle and scrunch his face , "I'll take that as a yes , then ."

~~

Harry knocked on the door , Louis opened it and smiled at him , "Hey ."

"Hi ." Harry smiled and walked in .

"I just need my shoes and we can go ." Louis took his shoes from the entrace and walked with Harry into the living room , he sat on the couch and pulled his shoes on .

Harry took Louis' hand and they walked out of the house , waving goodbye to Maura .

"Stone is excited to see you again ." Harry smiled at him , "He didn't miss you as much as I did though ."

Louis giggled and blushed lightly , "I missed you too ."

~~

Harry unlocked the front door and the two walked inside , Stone ran up to them wagging his tail happily . When he saw Louis he sat down in front of him and nudged his hand with his nose , Louis smiled at him and crouched down to his height , petting him softly .

Harry smiled at them and closed the door , "I'll start making breakfast ." He told Louis and walked to the kitchen , Louis stood up and followed him , "Can I help ?"

"Sure ." Harry smiled at him and took ingredients from the fridge .

"I'm just warning you , I'm not the best cook ." Louis bit his lip and giggled to himself , "I tried making something before and it tasted horrible ."

Harry laughed a little , "Well it's okay , because I'm here to make sure you don't mess up ." He placed bacon , eggs and bread near the stove , "Come here ."

Louis walked closer , Harry placed a pan on the stove and turned it on , pouring a bit of oil onto it . 

"Now we're letting the oil heat up so we can cook ." He said , "And since you're special , I'll make you my special breakfast ."

He cut circles on the bread pieces while talking to Louis , "I usually make this breakfast for my mum , sister and step-dad whenever we're together , and very rarely to myself . Take it as a compliment , you're special to me ."

Louis smiled at him with blush on his cheeks , looking away and at the stove as Harry placed the bread on the pan , cracking the eggs into the holes in the bread .

"It looks really good ." Louis turned his head to Harry , "And smells good too ."

"Thanks , I saw it on Instagram and decided to try ." Harry chuckled , "First time I messed it up a bit but it was still good ."

"Where did you learn how to cook ?"

"My mum , I liked helping her in the kitchen , even small stuff like stirring the pasta or cutting a few veggies . I watched her for years , and she liked teaching me ." Harry placed a few bacon pieces on the pan , "You said you wanted to help ? Come on ."

He handed him vegetables , "I want you to be extra careful , okay ? Don't want you to hurt yourself , and I like my food without blood ." Harry pecked his cheek , Louis giggled and nodded , "Okay ."

When breakfast was ready they brought it to the table , smiling at their work .

"Team work ." Harry held his hand up for a high five , Louis smiled and clapped their hands together .

They sat down , Stone sat next to them with a pleading look .

"You already had breakfast , mate ." Harry pushed him away playfully , chuckling when stone nudged his thigh with his paw . Harry shook his head and tapped his nose , "No , you're not allowed this food ."

Louis giggled , "You treat him like a baby ."

"He's my baby ." Harry smiled down at Stone and took his head in both his hands , pressing a kiss to his head , "Go away now , let us have breakfast without you staring into our souls ." He shooed him towards the room .

Louis giggled a little before taking a bite from the eggs and bread , sighing out , "It's so good ,"

"Thank you ." Harry smiled , "How was your day yesterday ?"

"It was okay . I went job hunting with Niall ." Louis said .

"Did you find one ?" Harry asked , Louis nodded , "Yeah , there's a restaurant a few blocks away from Niall's house , we're starting next week ."

"That's good , I'll come visit you when I can ." Harry smiled , Louis smiled shyly , "It'll be nice . I'm quite nervous , actually ."

"Why nervous ?" Harry reached for his hand across the table .

"I don't know , I mean - the last job I had was at a small book store people barely walked into , so the manager fired me and another employee because he just payed us to do nothing . So I didn't really deal with people that much . And now I'm going to be confronting them on a daily basis - and - and I don't think I'll be able to handle it if some customer started yelling at me . I don't like being yelled at ."

Harry rubbed his thumb on the back of his hand comfortingly , "I'm sure you'll do just fine , angel . Even if you do some mistakes , you'll learn from it . You'll do great ."

"I hope I will ." Louis smiled lightly , "Thank you , I needed this - reassurance ."

"Don't thank me . I'm always here if you need me ." Harry smiled at him and brought his hand up to press a light peck to his knuckles .

When breakfast was over Louis helped Harry take the dishes to the sink , Harry wrapped his arm around Louis and led him to the couch . Harry started telling him funny stories that happened at the firestation and showed him pictures on the phone , smiling at Louis' wide , curious eyes .

"I always thought firefighters were serious and all , but you're all just children ." Louis giggled as he leaned his head on Harry's shoulder , Harry laughed a little , "Yeah , we are . We joke all the time and just have fun whenever we can ."

"My little twin sisters liked all the firefighters stuff , all the documents about firefighters always interested them ." Louis said with a sad smile on his lips , "They liked watching them in action ."

Harry wrapped his arm around Louis' shoulders and brought him closer to his side , "Did they ? How old - how old were they ?"

"Nine ." Louis said quietly . "Fizzy was eleven , and Lottie was fourteen . My mum , Jay ,  was three months pregnant . My step-dad , Dan , was nice and funny and always there for us ."

Harry sat quietly and listend to him , his fingers trailing up and down his arm ; It's the first time since the funeral that Louis talks about his family .

"I miss them a lot . I miss waking up to Phoebe and Daisy , the twins , jumping on my bed to wake me up . I miss having late night talks with Lottie . I miss helping Fizzy with her homework . I miss having a laugh with my mum and Dan ." He sniffled , "I-I'm just - I'm sorry ."

"Don't be sorry ." Harry squeezed him a little , "You can let it out if you feel like it ."

"N-no , I'll ruin our d-date ." Louis shook his head , blinking to stop the tears from falling .

"You won't ruin anything , love . Let it out ." Harry whispered softly , and that was enough ot break the water walls .

Louis covered his face in his hands , Harry brought him closer and rubbed his back , letting him have his cry - even if it hurt him to see him crying .

"I m-miss cuddling with the twins on Sunday morning . I miss play fighting with Lottie and Fizzy even though I always lost . I miss my mum's cooking . I just - miss it all ." Louis wiped his cheeks .

Harry kissed his head , "I'm sorry I couldn't save them ."

"You couldn't save them even if you tried , Harry ." Louis shook his head , "You already risked yourself when you saved me ."

"I'd do it all over again ." Harry nuzzled his temple , Louis leaned a little closer and cuddled into his side .

"Now tell me ," Harry wanted him to cheer up , "Did you lose a play fight to a girl ?"

Louis smiled a little , "Yeah , and it was two girls , I was going to lose anyway . They always won ."

"How did two girls manage to take you down ? Even thought I'm not that surprised , you're tiny ." He booped his nose , Louis giggled , "They , uh - they tickled me . And it's a weakness ." He blushed .

Harry laughed a little , "Smart little girls ."

"I hated when they did that , but it was nice watching them being happy when they won ." Louis sighed .

"I still need to find the third spot ." Harry smirked mischievously , Louis' eyes widened , "No , please don't ." He tried getting up , Harry took a hold of his waist , "You know , you can just tell me where this spot it , then I won't have to explore every spot my fingers get on ."

Louis giggled nervously and covered his face in his hands , curling up to protect his body , "You're not helping , you'll tickle me anyways ."

"I know ." Harry laughed , "Now , where should I start ?"

"You shouldn't ." Louis shook his head , his arms wrapped around himself as he watched Harry's clawed hands carefully .

"Is it ... here ?" He tried his neck , Louis shook his head and shied away , giggling before Harry even touched him .

Harry launched for his sides , louis squeaked in surprise and giggled , pushing his fingers away . "Was it the spot ?" Harry asked , Louis giggled , "N-no , it wasn't . I won't let you get closer to that spot ."

Harry smirked , he squeezed his knees lightly , Louis kicked his hands away , "I hate this feeling ."

"Thanks for telling me ." Harry winked , Louis blushed and covered his face , it was just for a few seconds before he felt Harry's fingers on his stomach , making his eyes widen .

"No !!" Louis giggled , Harry's eyes lightened up , "I found it ! Ahh I found the third spot !" He tickled him there , Louis fell on his back on the couch , trying to roll on his front to protect his stomach .

"Stop !! Hazza !" Louis called through his laughter and managed to flip himself to lie on his front . Harry laughed along and leaned above Louis' body to reach his cheek , pressing a soft kiss to it . "Now I can win all the play fights with you ."

Louis giggled a little , taking a few seconds to catch his breath . He turned to lie on his back with Harry still above him , Harry leaned down and pressed their lips together .

Louis placed his hands on Harry's cheeks , his thumbs rubbing his cheekbone softly . Harry lied himself more comfortably on Louis' body , his arms hugging Louis closer into his chest .

Louis flinched back a little when he felt Harry's tongue on his bottom lip , Harry pulled back , "Are you okay ?"

"I-I never - uh , I never - made out ?" Louis stuttered out nervously , Harry gave him a soft smile , "It's okay , I can go slow for you to learn ."

"O-okay ." Louis nodded , letting Harry press their lips back together .

~~

"I had a great time with you ." Louis smiled up at Harry as they were standing on the porch to the Horan's house , Harry brought his hand up to brush Louis' fringe from his forehead , "I had a great time too ." He leaned down to kiss him , Louis smiled and stepped closer , one hand pressing to Harry's cheek .

"I have a shift tomorrow , so we can meet up in two days ." Harry pulled back , Louis nodded , "Okay . See you then ."

"See you then , tiny angel ." Harry pecked Louis' lips one last time before pulling back , pecking his nose .

~~

It was okay , I hope ? Yeah , really hope .

Hope you liked it , tell me if you didn't . x
