Three weeks later and Louis is finally allowed home, it's slow going and he's so tired and sore but he is so thankful to be home.

"We've set you up in our room Lou, we hope that's okay" Harry says as they enter the apartment

Louis blushes

"If....like you're sure that's okay" Louis says quietly

"It's more than okay darling" Scott says

The other boys smile and watch on fondly as Louis is led to Harry and Scott's - now Louis room, they lay him down and get him comfortable

"Now, no moving from this bed unless someone is helping you" Scott says, voice full of authority, yet he's smiling fondly at Louis

"You're so bossy" Louis says with a hint of sass

"You're ours now sweetheart, and we need you safe and looked after, if we're bossy then that's why" Harry smirks

Louis blushes Causing Harry and Scott to both chuckle

Scott leans down and kisses Louis on the lips and Louis responds eagerly, he whines when Scott pulls back.

"Rest, we can get back to that soon okay" Scott tells Louis

"You've been saying that for weeks" Louis says sadly

"You're hurt darling, we aren't going to risk hurting you further, now do as your told and stay in bed" Harry says pointedly

"I need a kiss from you too, otherwise I'll have to get up and come find it myself" Louis says and Harry and Scott laugh at Louis cuteness

"How can I say no to you" Harry says and he kisses Louis sweetly.

The boys leave Louis trying to find something on the tv, to go and get him some food. Louis really hasn't been eating much at all and the boys need to make sure he starts eating more, he's far to small.

Louis finds it tough going over the next few days, being at home is so much better but he's still so sore and the boys have all started back at work after taking a few weeks off each to be with Louis. Someone is always with him, but he misses Harry and Scott when they aren't around.

Louis is allowed to start some school work from home which he's thankful for but he can't do much before he's sore and tired and he ends up back in bed exhausted

The boys keep telling him to go slow that it will take time for Louis to even be able to stay awake for the whole day, and not to pressure himself.

It's Saturday night when he's fed up with being in bed, the boys are having friends over for dinner but Louis is usually fine with staying out of the way, he doesn't want to annoy his brothers but he desperately needs a drink.

He gets up and makes his way slowly and shyly to the lounge and kitchen. He sees the boys all laughing and having a drink and snacks together. Charlie and Joey are over and so are two females that look slightly familiar and Kimberly.

"Louis William, what did we tell you about getting out of bed alone" Harry says fondly when he sees Louis make his way into the lounge.

"You said don't get out of bed alone, but you know I don't listen, so here I am" Louis says cutely

The boys all chuckle and Harry kisses Louis fondly on the head

"Come sit baby" Scott says

"I just came out for a drink of water, I'll get out of your hair" Louis says worriedly, he doesn't want to intrude on his brothers   

"No Lou, you're not in our hair, we just didn't want to pressure you with having to being social" Drew says smiling

"Come and meet the girls Lou" Andy says.

Louis walks further into the lounge and Charlie and Joey greet Louis with hugs and hair ruffles

"How are you feeling hun?" Kimberly greets him

Louis shrugs,

"Do you want the therapy or non therapy answer" Louis asks 

Kimberly laughs.

"Well now I know there's a difference you won't be getting away with telling me you're fine anymore" Kimberly smirks and Louis smiles shyly back at her

Andy and Kimberly have been on several dates over the last few weeks and things are going so well, so much so Kimberly has been at the apartment regularly.

"I don't know if you remember us Lou, I'm Sammy and this is Amy" Sammy one of the other girls says

"Hi, I don't really, no, I'm so sorry" Louis says warily

"Don't be, at all, it's nice to finally meet you properly" Amy says

"We haven't really had the chance to tell you but Sammy and I have been together for a few months and Edward and Amy the same" Drew says smiling.

"Oh, cool, it's really nice to meet you both"
Louis says smiling

"You too, we've heard a lot about you, we're glad you're feeling better" Sammy says

Louis smiles

"Thanks" he says shyly

Scott then helps Louis over towards the couch and sits him down, getting him comfortable.

"Comfy?" Scott asks

Louis nods

He lays against Scott as Harry pulls his legs up over his and starts rubbing his ankles gently

Louis watches the boys and how they interact and how much happiness radiates off them all. It's so nice to see his brothers so happy. He loves them to pieces and they look so happy with their partners.

He enjoys being part of their family they've created and he's so thankful for them taking him in.

He finds himself laughing at some things the boys say and Scott and Harry watch on fondly as Louis relaxes more. They love that he's so comfortable with them all.

After dinner Harry and Scott kiss and hold Louis tightly as he falls asleep on the couch, the boys so thankful Louis is part of their life like this.

Two weeks later and Louis is begging the boys to let him go back to school, he misses his friends and wants to see them and get back to normal again.

"Listen Louis, if there is one single fight with Robbie or anything happens you're in trouble" Andy says

"There is no football whatsoever ever, even just kicking the ball on the field, nothing" Edward says pointedly

"I know I know I promise!" Louis says

"Don't push yourself okay baby, just listen to your body and it's okay if you're tired today and can't go tomorrow" Harry tells him kissing his head.

Louis nods

"And don't try to act like you're fine, we know you and you can't get it passed us" Scott chuckles fondly

Louis smiles shyly as Scott kisses him. He will never get sick of Harry and Scott's kisses.

At school Louis is tired and he knows he won't make it through a full week. He's still sore but the boys absolutely dote on him and make sure Louis isn't doing to much at all.

Louis is so surprised when Robbie comes up to him and apologises, he actually tells Louis he's sorry for how he acted and Louis is completely taken aback. They won't be friends or anything but Louis definitely appreciates Robbie and what he said

He's even more surprised when  coach pulls him aside and tells him the scouts at the game are willing to wait for him to get better, he's still got a full scholarship to London Elite university if he passes the medical okay. Louis is beyond excited and can't help the huge smile on his face, he feels like everything is falling into place and he's so happy.

The first thing he does at dinner time is tell the boys what coach said

"Louis, that is absolutely amazing kiddo" Drew says excited

"This is so deserved Louis, honestly well done" Andy says

"We knew you would be amazing kid, so proud of you" Edward tells him

"We cannot wait to see you on that field again Baby, you're going to be amazing" Scott says kissing Louis in proudness

"You are honestly amazing Darling, we love you so much and will be here by your side to watch you achieve everything. We are so proud" Harry says as he kisses Louis too.

Louis in this moment cannot believe how much his life has changed over the last year, he's so thankful and when the lights in the dining room flicker on and off slowly the boys all smile and Louis knows his mum is watching down on them, so proud of Louis and her boys

THE END
