(A/N: so sorry for lack of update. I felt like not updating cause I thought no one was interested in this book. But I'm back now and decided "eh, fook it" I'ma give y'all updates)

After the first piano lessons, Louis' visits to the castle became more frequent as Harry wanted him to be his personal tutor. Not that he disliked his older sister teaching him, she just wasn't...well, Louis.

And who was Louis to deny such an offer?

It enables him to spend more time with Harry so of course he agreed.

Their friendship grew as the days passed. Even King Robin and Queen Anne noticed something more to their relationship than just a friendly feeling.

Gemma would sometimes catch Louis' hand wrapped around her brother's waist as he plays the piano, and one time she caught Harry with this fond look while he stared at Louis in the middle of one of his lessons.

Yes, they're not subtle.

But they are quite oblivious.

Niall swears, if they don't confess their feelings before the end of the week, he'll personally lock them up in the music room until they do.

Currently, the two lovebirds are sat in the living room just lounging around after finishing Harry's piano lessons.

Unknowing of the new presence's arrival.

Queen Anne enters the room with a bright smile, cooing silently when she finds her son's head on the blue eyed boy's lap as he goes on about how he found a really good story in the library this morning, with Louis just nodding his head, a fond smile evident on his face.

"Hello, boys."

"Oh! Hi mum!" The green eyed Prince greets.

"Hello, Queen Anne." Louis waves curtly, threading his fingers through Harry's curls, "is Harry needed for something or-?"

"No- well, yes, but the person requesting for Harry also wants to see you."

"Oh?" Louis says questioningly, staring at the Queen then to the Prince who still has his head on his lap.

"Why, Tommo, already tired of seeing my face?" A voice says from the entrance of the living room.

Harry gasps and so does Louis as they turn their heads to the owner of the voice.

"Holy shizballs! Zayn!" Exclaimed the curly haired boy, who quickly runs to his friend.

The raven haired Prince chuckles, engulfing Harry in a hug while smiling at Louis, "hey, Lou!"

"Zayniepoo!"

Zayn groans at the nickname his blue eyed mate made for him, "please don't call me that."

Louis smiles cheekily, "whatever you say, Zayniepoo."

"Ugh..."

Harry pulls away from the hug, striding back to Louis who- on instinct- wrapped an arm around his waist.

The gesture caught Zayn off guard, and he notes to himself that he's going to have to confront Louis about it later.

"So Zebra, what brings you here to the Kingdom of Donshire?" The younger Prince asks.

Zayn playfully rolls his eyes at his choice of nickname and allows Queen Anne to explain.

"Prince Zayn is going to be staying with us for a few days to help with the designing for the upcoming Autumn Ball that will be held in our castle next week."

Zayn nods, "yup. And it gives me the opportunity to see my lovely boyfriend."

Louis scoffs, "just your boyfriend?"

"And your tiny self as well, Louis."

"You did not jus-"

"I did."

Louis huffs, folding his arms to his chest. Not liking his friend making fun of his height.

"Well, I'll leave you boys to catch up." Queen Anne announces, "Zayn honey, make yourself at home."

"I will. Thank you for inviting me."

"Of course, dear." With that said, Queen Anne exits the room to do her queenly duties as the three boys begin to catch up with one another.

"We should meet up with Liam in the village!" Louis suggests, "his shift at the music shop should be over soon."

"Brilliant! Let's go!" Zayn declares, wanting to see his beloved boyfriend after almost a month without contact.

"Oi! Not without me!" Says Niall, who comes bounding in in his regular clothing.

"Why hello to you, too, leprechaun." Zayn says sarcastically but has a smile on his face.

"Could say the same thing to you but I'm not the one who hid their secret relationship with Liam Payne."

Zayn freezes, "uh, well... I was going to tell you guys today-"

"Louis beat you to it." Harry cuts him off.

"He what?!"

Louis puts his hands up in surrender, "they were going to find out eventually."

"Ugh, whatever. Can we please just go now?"

"Yeah come on!" Niall exclaims, grabbing the raven haired Prince's wrist and dragging him along.

Harry and Louis smile at each other before running to catch up with the two, side by side.

"LEEYUM!!!"

"ZAYNIE!!!"

Niall, Harry and Louis watch as their two friends tackle one another in a hug, sharing a sweet kiss before pulling away, smiling widely at each other.

"You're here!"

"Yup." Zayn nods, "I just couldn't stay away from you any longer."

Liam chuckles at his lover, "shut up."

Louis, on the other hand, couldn't handle their sappy asses so he whispers something to Niall, wanting to break his two mates' moment.

"Oh yeah, I forgot about that."

"Forgot what?" Harry asks, looking at Niall questioningly.

"This."

The blonde boy strides over to the raven haired Prince, and slaps him right across the face.

"Ow! Niall! What was that for?!" Zayn groans, rubbing his slightly red cheek.

"For hiding your relationship with Liam."

Louis stifles his laugh when Liam's eyes widen in shock.

"I thought you weren't serious when you said you'd slap him!"

Niall only shrugs, "I've always wanted to do it anyway."

"You're lucky we're friends. Otherwise you'd be in the dungeon by now." Zayn tells the Irish blonde.

"Nah, you wouldn't dare."

"I can stop sending you Wolfordton's special creampuffs with a snap of my fingers."

Niall gasps, "no."

Zayn smirks, knowing how much the boy loves his Kingdom's creampuffs, "watch me."

"Alright that's quite enough." Louis decides to break the small feud, seeing Harry begin to yawn beside him, "you three should probably go back to the castle. It's getting late."

Liam nods in agreement, seeing the sun slowly setting in the horizon as day becomes night, "we'll see you guys tomorrow."

"Okay. Bye puppy." Zayn says, kissing Liam one more time.

"Bye Lou." Harry waves at Louis, wanting to hug him so bad.

The older lad chuckles, doing the honor of wrapping his arms around the curly haired Prince's waist in a warm hug, "bye, Curly."

Harry swears he just melted in his touch.

The next day, Harry accompanies Zayn around the castle since Louis and Liam are at work.

He didn't have anything better to do anyway.

"So, Haz."

"Hmm?" Harry turns to look at Zayn.

"Are you excited for the Autumn Ball?" The raven haired Prince asks, writing something down on the notepad Queen Anne had given to him so he could write down his decor ideas.

Harry grins, nodding his head, "of course! I can't wait to see Ed and Cara again!"

You see, whenever there's a ball being held in Donshire, everyone is welcome to attend. Neighboring Kingdoms like Wolfordton and Armundy love coming by to have a good time.

"I'm sure that excitement will go down once Taylor walks in through those big doors."

At the mention of 'her' name, Harry internally gags, grimacing at the memory of when the blonde Princess tried flirting with him last year, "ugh, I know it would sound so rude of me, but I hope she doesn't attend this ball."

"I hope so, too."

-5 days later-

Unfortunately, the universe wasn't on Harry's side that day.

But at least he had Louis with him.

Guests from different Kingdoms arrived at Donshire around the setting time of the sun and now they were all inside the castle.

(Just imagine there's autumn designs mkay? Mkay.^~^)

Zayn mingles with a few royals, introducing them to Liam who blushes at the attention. Niall, being the servant, tends to some guests with snacks in a tray (sneakily munching on some when nobody's looking) while Harry drags Louis over to his two friends from the Kingdom of Armundy.

The blue eyed lad chuckles fondly at the curly haired Prince's eagerness, spotting the ginger and girl with beautiful eyebrows Harry had described his friends as to look like.

"Ed! Cara!" The young Prince calls, enveloping the two in a hug, "I missed you guys!"

"We did, too, Haz." Ed replies, pulling away from the embrace.

"Who's this bloke?" Cara asks, gesturing to Louis.

"I'm Louis," the blue eyed lad says, extending a hand to Cara, "Harry's-"

"Boyfriend!" Niall cuts him off, snickering to himself as he passes by with a half empty tray of creampuffs.

Ed and Cara's smiles widely, but it quickly falls when Louis says, "no! He's not- I'm not-...we're just friends."

Friends.

The word doesn't settle right.

He wants to be more than that with Harry.

"Uh, y-yeah..." Harry tries to hide the pained look on his face by forcing a smile, "anyone want something to drink?" He quickly changes the topic, but Louis knew something was bothering him.

"Ed, Cara, mind if I steal Harry for a moment?"

The curly haired Prince looks at Louis with confusion, "wh-"

"Sure, mate."

Louis smiles at them thankfully, watching them walk off before taking Harry's hand and leading them away from the Ball.

"Uh, Louis?"

"Just follow me."

"Why?" Harry halts them to a stop right outside the castle, staring directly at Louis with big, doe green eyes.

"I-...we need to talk."

"About what?"

"About..." Louis trails off, taking both of Harry's hands in his with a small smile, "you and me... Us."

"...oh." Is all Harry says, terrified of what Louis will say next.

The older lad leads them both to a secluded area near the castle, and takes a deep breath.

Hear goes nothing.

"Harry, please don't get mad when I say this, but I kinda...sorta...have a umh...crush on you?"
