during harry's hospital stay, louis' jealous side definitely came out. he eyed every female and male that came in, he stayed by harry's side the whole time and had to hold himself back from gouging someone's eyes out for cleaning up harry's wound. he definitely developed trust issues ever since harry was shot.

harry got to come home a few days after he was admitted. liam drove them back to harry's house and helped louis bring in their clothes from their stay. louis was under harry's feet the whole time when he walked around and harry thanked the boy for helping him but he wanted to prove he could be independent.

"you have to rest," louis pouted when harry went through the fridge to grab a water bottle.

"i got this, babe," harry murmured. "'s just water. thank you for looking out for me, though." he kissed his cheek and smiled softly. "go put mulan in and we can cuddle."

louis nodded and wearily went to the living room to search for the movie and put it in the dvd player. harry sat on the couch and louis sat next to him when the movie began.

louis was snuggled into harry's side, teasingly giving him tiny love bites when harry's phone went off on the coffee table. louis whined, because his fun time was being interrupted and he grabbed harry's phone so he wouldn't strain his stitches.

"it's liam."

"answer it," harry shrugged and rubbed louis' shoulder.

louis answered the call.

"hey boss, what do you want us to do about elijah?" liam asked before he even got a greeting. he seemed mad, which made louis curious but then louis realized elijah was the one who shot harry.

"um, that may be something we need to discuss later," harry said, pulling louis closer to him. louis glared at the wall with a (very cute) angry pout. harry underestimated his anger though, because after the phone call louis was bouncing his leg in agitation and mumbling things to himself. he was scratching his hands all to hell and he absentmindedly called elijah a 'stupid bitch'.

"care to repeat that?" harry rose an eyebrow.

"elijah's a bitch," louis fumed. harry snorted and covered his mouth. he should scold louis, spank him for saying naughty words but it was honestly hilarious hearing such profanity coming from a boy who does nothing but color and watch disney movies all day.

"he is, but i'd advise you not to curse again," harry warned. "this is a warning."

louis bit his lip and nodded, "sorry daddy."

harry shrugged. "'s okay, doll." he grabbed his phone and texted liam a few things before scheduling a meeting the next day, since he was home and able to attend one.

---

louis didn't want to be in the same room as the man. he wouldn't be able to control himself. all he had to do was breathe and louis was ready to snap his neck.

it wasn't necessarily a meeting, but it was a small get together with a few gang members. andy was included this time and he offered to hang out with louis to keep him as calm as possible. while the meeting occured, andy colored with louis at the kitchen table while they shared a bowl of popcorn. louis liked andy. he was cool, he talked to him and let him rant all he wanted. he said a few cuss words and promised not to tell harry as long as louis promised not to tell the man andy had a girlfriend and didn't want the gang to know until they were serious.

"like me and daddy serious?" louis asked as he colored a monkey that was hanging from a tree.

"kinda," andy shrugged and picked up a purple crayon. "you and your daddy are pretty serious, huh?"

louis nods. "we love eachother!"

andy cooed at the small boy and they continued to color until louis could hear laughter erupting from the basement. he quietly got up and went to the door, opened it and stood at the top step.

harry turned his head and grinned. "hi."

"can i come down?" louis tilted his head to the side, giving harry an innocent pout. he beamed when the man opened his arms and he skipped down the steps, settling himself on harry's lap. he said hi to those into the room except for the man sitting near the end of the table.

if looks could kill, elijah would be dead.

"bitch," louis hissed and liam fish mouthed. niall snorted and laid his head down to cover the irresistible smile that was forming on his face.

it was awkward for a moment before louis suddenly had a burst of confidence. "why did you shoot him?"

it was so silent that you could hear a pin drop. it was eerie.

elijah leaned back in his seat. "you're quite the bugger, y'know?"

"that's why you were always at the academy eyeing me like a hound," louis rolled his eyes. harry rose a brow. he was quite amused with the confidence louis had. "you didn't answer my question."

"yeah," niall rose his head up. "why did ya?"

elijah shrugged. "things didn't go as planned."

louis' eyebrows furrowed and he looked back at harry. "is he stupid? i think he's stupid, daddy."

"i think so too," harry agreed. he looked over louis' shoulder to liam, practically having a silent conversation with the man. liam nodded and stood, excusing himself for a moment. niall sat up, clearing his throat.

"you know you shouldn't go against one of your own," he pondered. "we're supposed to be brothers."

"brothers don't steal from eachother," elijah snorted. "that's exactly what harry done to me."

"he's not a theif," louis crossed his arms. "he's not mean."

liam returned and slipped something into harry's hand. harry held it in his palm before placing the object on louis' lap. since the man was intrigued at his sub, he thought louis could take matters into his own hands and see how the boy reacts to built up anger.

louis looked down at his lap and back up in confusion. harry silently slipped the brass knuckles over louis' fingers and closed his hand, rubbing his thumb over louis' knuckles.

"i mean, i'm kind of over it," elijah shrugged. "harry's the only one dumb enough to pay a million dollars for a measly rude whore."

there were sudden bursts of "hey," "woah," and a "hold the fuck up," from harry.

"my boy is not a whore," harry spat. "nor is he measly or rude."

"that was uncalled for," liam spoke up. "i wouldn't have even said anything like that and i have a submissive of my own."

louis bit his lip and he took the brass off his hand. he popped his knuckles and stood, putting his palms against the table as he leant forward. harry couldn't help but sneak a glance at the boy's thick bum and he leaned back, focusing his attention on the commotion before him.

"care to repeat that?" louis cocked his head. he felt like harry at the moment, dominance and superiority flying through him.

"you're a rude little shit," elijah leaned forward. "you're disrespectful. if you were my sub, i would have already had you over my knee pleading me to stop beating your ass."

louis shook his head. "'s a good thing i'm not, then, huh? 'cause i would have easily reported you to submissive protective for being an abusive asshole. you're weak, you have jealousy issues, and quite frankly your breath smells like you've eaten ass for days and haven't brushed your teeth. i can smell it from here. fix yourself before you try to correct me, sir."

harry's jaw dropped. he hasn't heard so many words come out of louis' mouth at once. niall had to turn away to silently laugh and get himself back together and liam was staring at his best mate's sub in awe.

"you aren't going to do anything, though," the grimy man smugly shrugged again. "don't wanna disappoint your daddy, do we?"

"then why would he give me this?" louis hummed as he slid the brass knuckles onto the table. "he obviously wants me to deal with you. my daddy tells me what to do, and i think he wants me to kill you but i dunno if i'm that mean."

elijah gawked back at harry. "you let your sub walk all over you, don't you?"

"actually, no," the boss commented. "if anything he- nevermind, that's inappropriate."

niall needs an inhaler.

"now tell me the truth, why did you think you were smart enough to shoot my dominant?" louis growled.

"because i knew his little bitch would have a shit show," elijah stood, mocking louis' position.

louis closed his eyes and gripped the table so hard his knuckles turned white. harry gave his side a gentle reassuring rub and louis shot daggers into the man with his eyes.

"fuck you," louis seethed. "you are such a low-life that you literally tried to kill someone over a submissive? are you that lonely? because i can hook you up with plenty of people, buddy."

the next words to come out of elijah's mouth had every man in the room standing.

"if any of them could get on their knees and give babies like you could, then i would gladly accept your offer."

the loud screeching from harry's chair dragging across the floor gave louis cold chills.

"excuse me?" the man rose his eyebrows. elijah straightened his posture and louis did as well. the tiny boy went to walk towards him but harry had such a tight grip on his hips that it hurt when he stepped forward. louis was furious. elijah just used his body against him and he really wanted to stab him in the eyes slowly so that it hurt so bad the man would cry to god to take him out of his misery. he wanted to have harry beat him until he was black and blue so his face was unrecognizable. elijah made him sick.

"i really hope you understood what you just said," liam snapped. "it's one thing to talk shit to or about a submissive, but it's a different thing when you sexually harass them."

louis gulped and he began to shake beneath harry. he shoved out of harry's arms, swiped the brass knuckles onto his hand and climbed on top of the table. he was face to face with elijah in seconds, towering over the man due to his assisted height.

"you're sick," louis literally spat on him. "you're twisted and fucked up to the core."

andy made his way down the stairs and he stood behind elijah with a gun pointed to his spine. liam and niall had their own guns aimed at the man and louis took the chance with full rage to use his weaponized hand and punch elijah as hard as he could. harry visibly cringed at the nasty sound and had to sit when he saw the blood on louis' hand.

andy stepped back and let the man drop to the floor. louis jumped off of the table and reached for andy's gun, but the man held it up because that was one thing he couldn't do. he couldn't let louis have hold of a firearm when he was this pissed. he could get too mad and shoot the wrong person.

liam sat in shock while harry, niall and another lad rushed to where the other three men were. louis was throwing punches left and right, getting worse and worse as he went. elijah was covered in his own blood from his scalp to his jaw. his shirt was soaked, he had a few broken teeth already and harry had to pick louis up and pull him to the other side of the room to get him to stop.

"end it," harry said and that's all it took for andy to cock his pistol and a deafening gunshot rang through the basement.
