After the boys all go home, Louis has a shower and changes into his sweats and a sweater, he makes his way to the couch to watch TV, Andy and Drew are on shift, Edward is out at the store and Scott and Harry are in their room, Louis doesn't know what they are doing but he's hoping they aren't avoiding him after this morning.

Louis curls up on the couch under a blanket and turns on FRIENDS he's nearly fallen asleep when Harry and Scott come out of their room. Scott with a sling in his hands, Louis rolls his eyes in jest

"Thought I'd forgotten didn't you" Scott smiles cheekily

"No, but I was hoping" Louis says back

Scott and Harry chuckle and sit on either side of Louis.

"I think you should take some pain relief as well" Scott says as he and Harry gently help Louis sit up

"I can handle it" Louis says

Scott and Harry sigh

"Listen Lou, we know you can handle the pain, we don't doubt that at all, but like we've said before, you don't need too, your body won't heal if it's trying to deal with pain" Harry says

"And like I've said to you before, I don't like how the pain relief makes me feel" Louis says frustratingly

"Lou, are you worried about getting addicted?" Scott asks in realisation

"No, I.....maybe.... I just don't want to become my dad" Louis says

"Firstly you're nothing like your dad darling, the fact that you're conscious of not wanting to be like him, shows you're not" Harry says

"Was your dad addicted to pills Lou?" Scott asks carefully

Louis fidgets with his sweater sleeve uncomfortably

"He...yeah...the sleeping pills he made me take, he used to take them with pain killers all the time and when he was high he's hit me harder. He wouldn't do it all the time but when he did...." Louis says

"Sweetheart, thank you for telling us that, but we can assure you, we control the dosage and you can trust us, we won't let you get addicted, there's certain things we use to make sure that doesn't happen and when you're in pain, is when we need to help you. The effect these painkillers have, is nothing like what your dad was taking" Scott reassures.

"And there's no way, these will make you violent or anything" Harry says

Louis sighs

"I trust you....I just" Louis starts

"Look Lou, just rest for now okay, we're not going to force you to take anything. If your pain get really bad and you can't sleep then we can try something okay" Scott says

"Yeah okay, thanks" Louis says nodding in thanks x

The boys smile, they help Louis put the sling on, he can still move his arm so Scott's happy to have it over his shirt as long as Louis is careful taking his arm in and out of his clothing.

The three of them settle down on the couch and absentmindedly snuggle into each other, Harry stroking Louis hair as he half lays on top of Harry, his legs over Scott

Scott and Harry look towards each other, it's not often they are alone in the apartment, especially with Louis and the sexual tension they all have been experiencing over the last month or so is getting a lot, Scott and Harry are pretty confident Louis knows they want more with him but the last thing they want to do is pressure him. When Louis shifts and sits up, he loses balance because of his shoulder, Harry and Scott both reach out to steady him and they catch his gorgeous blue eyes 

Louis looks into Harry's eyes

"Sorry" Louis whispers

"It's okay" Harry says as he reaches out to cup Louis face

Scott watches on, hoping Harry and he finally have the chance to express to Louis how much they are falling for him.

Harry begins to lean into Louis, and Louis breath hitches, Scott steadies Louis as he latches onto his bicep, gripping tightly

The energy surrounding them is charged and Louis wants to badly feel Harry's Lips on his, as Harry's breath ghosts over his, Scott's hand moves to Louis hair and Louis leans into the touch, Scott's hands so gentle, yet firm.

Harry goes to finally put his lips to Louis, when they hear the lift ding and they doors open. They pull away instantly and they all feel cold and disappointment racks through their bodies. Edward comes into the apartment smiling, carrying loads of grocery's.

Harry and Scott don't show their disappointment and act like nothing was about to happen, they smile at Edward and hop up to help him put away the grocery's, Louis watches them go and doesn't miss the half smile from Scott that tells Louis he was just as disappointed as him that they got interrupted.

That night in Louis room, he's standing up watching the sky fade from day to night. He's taken his arm out of the sling for a little while just for comfort. He's been in his head all day about what happened earlier, Scott and Harry haven't exactly been avoiding him but haven't been around much. He wonders if they will come in to say goodnight like they usually do. He doesn't have to wonder long because ten minutes later they are walking in.

"Hi darling, Scott says as they both enter and shut the bedroom door

"Hi" Louis whispers, he looks back out the window and Harry and Scott come up on either side of him.

It's silent for a few minutes as they all look out at the heavy rain falling over London

"We've gathered this is your favourite place to be" Harry says fondly

Louis looks at him shyly, Harry is so beautiful, with his sweats sitting low on his hips and his blue sweater contrasting his green eyes beautifully

"Yeah, you can see the London eye from your room though, that's the best spot" Louis says smiling slightly

"You're always welcome in our room, Lou, anytime" Scott says gently

Louis looks towards Scott and nods his head shyly, Scott is equally as beautiful as Harry is with his grey sweats and black tee, his muscles and tattoos on display.

"Listen Lou, about before" Harry says

Louis looks to Harry

"Yeah?" Louis asks

"We..." He starts  

"It's okay, I know you were just probably caught up in the moment and glad Edward interrupted" Louis says trying to sound aloof

"No! No we... I mean yes, we got caught up in the moment but...we're sorry that Edward interrupted we..." Scott says

Louis looks at him and then back to Harry waiting

"We wanted to kiss you sweetheart" Harry says

He reaches out and cups Louis face, Louis slowly turns to face Harry all the way, Harry puts his other hand on Louis waist and guides him in close. Scott comes up behind Louis and puts his hands around his waist, Louis is safe between them and his breath hitches, their smell is amazing and their hands on him feel right and so safe.

Harry leans in again and this time his lips meet Louis is a soft sensual kiss. Louis insides ignite and he follows Harry's lead, kissing him back. There's no tongue involved but it's a passionate kiss. When they pull apart Harry smirks and Louis finds it so attractive. Scott turns him to face him and Scott takes his time kissing Louis slowly. It's pure magic and all three boys hearts race.

"You're beautiful Louis" Scott says as he pulls back and looks Louis in the eyes, Louis blushes in response

"Are you okay with this Lou" Harry asks

"I.....I've had a crush on you for ages, but I think you knew that" Louis says, smiling slightly

"Well, we picked up a few hints, like you did ours" Scott replies

"Yeah, I just didn't know if it was real" Louis says 

"Well, this proves it is, we've wanted to kiss you, to be with you, for a while now. We just didn't want to rush you or push you after everything and we really just wanted to be there for you" Harry says

Louis smiles

"I...thank you, that means a-lot and I really want to be with you too and I've wanted to kiss you for months if I'm honest" Louis chuckles shyly

The boys are both smitten and smile like idiots at Louis confession

They then continue kissing and making out, they can't get enough of each other but they just enjoy discovering each other and kissing, wanting to take things slow.
