Okay, I'm back I guess. Hope you're all alright or at least as alright as you can be at times like this.

"Hello my three little babies!" Harry squeels. It's silly that since he left school, Fridays weren't something to be excited for, it just became another day of the week, but now Fridays are something to root for again.

"Watch it, Styles. I'm not little." Louis reacts, smiling nontheless.

"You are, Lou." Doris says, looking up at her big brother. "Tiny and soft, mummy says."

Ernest isn't focussed on the cute moment, he is staring wide eyed at a new kind of sweets, something he's never seen before. Harry catches the boy's stare and smiles. "Looks yummy, right Ernie? It's toffifee something caramel and chocolate. Want one to try?"

The boy nods his head, excited to be trying something new.

"Me too, please Hazzy!" Doris asks.

"Of course my sweet Dory is getting one too!" Harry hands the kids one each. "Want one too?"

Louis looks up from his hands. "Yeah, thanks." He smiles and takes the sweet from Harry's hand, maybe lingering there too long.

"It's yummy, Hawwy!"

"Told you so." Harry smiles.

"I want a box!" Doris shouts and looks at Louis as if to ask for permission.

"Alright guys, you can get one to share, okay?" They nod and Louis turns to the boy behind the counter. "Two boxes, please."

"But you just told them they get one to share?" Harry asks confused, frowning a little.

"Doesn't mean I can't get one for meself, Bambi." Louis chuckles and hands over the money, taking the two boxes from Harry's hands.

"Sweet and sticky, just like you after you let me tap that."
