Louis wakes about ten o'clock that night, he feels a little better. Harry and Scott aren't next to him, so he gets up and goes searching for them.

The penthouse is quiet, the boys must have left. Louis walks out to the lounge and sees Harry and Scott on the couch, they are watching a show on TV, both of them have a glass of red wine and what looks to be leftover takeout is scattered on the coffee table.

They both smile when they see Louis.

"Hi darling, are you okay?" Harry asks gently.

"Yeah, I'm ok" Louis replies.

"Come here, come snuggle" Scott tells him as he moves over so Louis can fit in between them on the couch.

Louis smiles and makes his way over, the boys then get him comfortable, Harry bringing the blanket over from the end of the couch.

"Let me go heat you up some dinner, we ordered for you, but didn't want to wake you" Scott tells him.

"Sorry" Louis says.

"Nothing to apologise for sweetheart" Scott says, he kisses Louis on the head and heads to the kitchen.

"Did the boys leave?" Louis asks Harry.

"They left about an hour ago, they are staying two floors below us, so they aren't far away" Harry reassures Louis.

"I feel bad that they flew all the way to see me, I'm fine" Louis says shyly.

"Those boys would move mountains for you Louis, they love you to pieces, of course they would come out. And you're not exactly fine, you're going to be sore and tired and need looking after" Harry tells him as he strokes Louis hair off his forehead.

"I can look after myself, they've looked after me enough" Louis says.

"Well Scotty and I are here now and we're going to be looking after you. I highly doubt Scott will let you leave when your week of bedrest is up, just saying" Harry smirks with a chuckle.

Louis blushes at Harry's words, he wouldn't be opposed that's for sure.

"Excuse me, I quite clearly remember you being
the one who said. 'I'm never letting him out of my sight again, he's living with us from now on'" Scott mimics Harry's voice and Louis laughs. Harry breaks into a smile and can't help his laugh either.

Scott places down Louis dinner in front of him on the blanket.

"Thank you"

"You're welcome" Scott replies with a wink.

Scott settles down next to Louis and he has a few mouthfuls of dinner Before he's not really hungry anymore.

"I'm sorry for everything that happened today" Louis then tells them both.

"Sorry for telling the boys how you feel?" Harry asks slightly confused, why would Louis be sorry about that.

"Yeah, in your house and everything, I'm also sorry for not telling you about what Dan and Jax were doing to me" Louis then says.

"Louis, we're not upset at you, we're not angry or anything. We understand you've been through so much. But to think you thought so little of yourself and that you deserved that treatment really breaks our hearts" Scott tells Louis seriously.

Louis leans forward to put his dinner on the coffee table. He's sore so Harry helps him.

"I just.... I thought I was being punished for killing them" Louis admits.

"You need to stop saying that, you didn't kill your parents baby" Harry tells him.

Louis sighs.

"Andy said he's booked me some sessions with my psychologist again" Louis says.

"There's a few things to talk through with her, it will be good to get some things off your chest" Scott says.

"Yeah, I guess so" Louis admits.

"Listen darling, everyone deals with grief differently and you telling the boys everything you've been feeling is such a big step to healing" Harry tells him.

"Working though your feelings and admitting that you were punishing yourself is going to take time, there is no pressure and you need to go at your pace okay, just know that Harry and I are not going anywhere" Scott tells him.

"You both still want to be with me?" Louis asks.

"More than anything, I told you, Scott won't let you leave" Harry says smiling.

"Well, he's right Lou, we're closer to the office here anyway, we can have your things moved over in an hour" Scott says.

Louis chuckles but he knows Scott is serious.

"How about you wait until the week is up before you say that, you might get sick of me and want me out of here" Louis says.

"Never" Harry and Scott both say in unison.

"I'm pretty messy" Louis says

"We have a cleaner" Harry responds.

"I don't know how to cook" Louis tries

"We have Harry" Scott replies.

"I've nearly burnt my house down cooking toast" Louis says

"We have smoke alarms" Harry says.

"I can't use a washing machine" Louis says.

"You can, we've seen you" Scott says.

"I hate love island" Louis says, Harry and Scott then go quiet and look offended, their mouths agape

"Well, that could actually be a deal breaker don't you think H" Scott says.

"Absolutely, I don't think I can be with anyone who hates watching love island" Harry says in jest

Louis smiles wide and Harry and Scott follow suit.

"You can say what you like, you're perfect and we want to be with you so much" Harry tells him as he kisses Louis on the lips.

"We want all of you Louis, every single piece of you and we want you to move in" Scott tells him as he too kisses Louis on the lips.

Louis can't believe this is happening, he never thought going home for Christmas would be the best decision he's ever made, opening up his heart to Harry and Scott after he closed it off for years, was surprisingly easy and that's how Louis knows he's fallen in love with them both

"I want that too, with you, and I'll even lie with you and read a book while you watch love island together." Louis says blushing.

Harry and Scott smile so wide Louis can't help but chuckle in happiness.

"We love you Lou" Harry says.

"I love you both too" Louis replies.

They smile at each other and settle down on the couch as Scott turns love island on and Louis groans lovingly.
