louis finds himself in the woods and hes frantically looking around trying to pick up harry's scent.

but its everywhere and he doesnt know where to go.

he tries to focus on their bond but its so so weak.

the smell becomes too overwhelming and his legs give out and he sits there on the ground with his face in his hands.

he just wants to find harry.

he can feel the tears falling but he cant bring himself to wipe them away. he's tired, he just wants to lay besides harry and be at peace.

"louis!" louis' head snaps up, that's harry, that's harry's voice.

"louis!" louis scrambles up and starts running towards the voice, stumbling over the tree roots.

"i'm coming hazza!" he shouts.

and he runs. he finally makes it to a clearing and his blood runs cold when he sees the sight in front of him.

harry's laying on the ground, tears falling down his eyes and louis stares into his green eyes.

"harry!" louis shouts and hes running but the distance never shortens , harry's still as far away as he was before.

louis watches as the men laugh, "we told you to share,didnt we?"

and he watches as the man pulls out a knife.

"no! harry ,no!"

louis blinks his eyes open, he can feel the sweat on his forehead. he breathes in and feels the weight of harry's head on his chest and harry's arms around his waist.

he breathes slowly and runs his hands through harry's hair and takes in a deep breath. he can smell harry and it soothes him.

he holds harry tightly, but he cannot bring himself to fall asleep.

****

harry hums as he stirs the pot of curry he was currently preparing, he looks over at louis who is just standing there watching him.

"what?" he asks, his eyebrows raised.

"do you want to go out tonight? maybe i'll get out my motorbike," louis asks.

harry claps his hands in delight, "yes finally," harry says, going over to louis and kissing his mouth.

louis wraps his hands around harry's waist, deepening the kiss, they kiss slowly, and when they pull apart, louis buries his nose at the junction of harry's neck and breathes. he then continues to place gentle kisses along harry's neck, "i love you," louis says softly and harry would say it back but only thing he can do is moan as louis sucks on the bond mark.

harry loves this is the thing. after harry's heat they've been inseparable, and harry cannot believe he went so long without louis' mouth all over his body, without louis' knot, he was insane is what he was. but now he had it, and god knows he wasn't going to let it go anytime soon.

louis pulls away and looks him in the eye and smiles brightly harry cannot help but smile back once he's regained his senses.

"i love you too."

***

harry squeals as he grips tightly onto louis' waist as louis speeds down the road.

harry loves louis on motorbikes, he loves louis in a leather jacket, he loves louis riding said motorbike , he loves louis.

they slow down and louis stops in front of an ice cream parlour.

"i cannot believe you deprived me of that until now," harry says, getting off and removing his helmet.

louis takes his helmet off and puts his hands through his hair trying to fix them. harry thinks he looks like art.

"im sorry my love, i didn't think you'd be into bad boys who drive motorbikes,"

"louis you were solving maths yesterday when you were bored," harry says rolling his eyes.

"you said you were busy and didn't have the time to play cards!" louis says, putting his hand around harry's waist as they made their way to the ice cream shop.

"how does that help your case, youre dork, a nerd, get over yourself" harry says, looking through the ice cream options, "two chocolate mint please," he orders

" i am so not! i am a badass, the baddest ass," louis says, huffing and crossing his arms over his chest.

harry raises his eyebrows at him, and hands him his chocolate mint ice cream, louis takes it and licks, and then looks over at harry, "sure you're lou,"

louis hums and makes his way towards a booth, harry following suit.

"my birthday is coming," harry says, looking at louis.

"1st February i'm aware, incase youre testing to see if i remember or not,"

"you didn't last year,"

"well i didn't know and neither did you know my birthday so i think we are even,"

harry smiles and shakes his head," as i was saying, i'd really like to go see my family,"

"you know you dont have to ask for my permission right? you can just go," louis says , raising his eyebrows.

harry reaches forward to wipe away the ice cream at the corner of louis' mouth, "i know, babe, but you know what they think of omega's going back to their parents house without their alpha,"

louis sighs, "i sometimes forget how unprogressive we are, but of course i'll come with you hazza, you know its a given right?" louis asks, looking at harry.

harry smiles wide, "i know," he says before leaning across the booth and pressing his cold lips against louis'.

*****

louis cannot fall asleep, he tries he really does but hes afraid he'll have the nightmare again and he doesn't have it in him to go through it again. he cant stay awake again though, but sleeping does not seem like a good option too.

he fidgets and mentally slaps himself when harry stirs in his sleep, and blinks his tired eyes open to look at Louis.

"lou? what time is it?" harry asks, yawning, and snuggling further into louis' chest.

louis' heart feels whole.

"its half past four," louis answers.

harry hums, "can't fall asleep?"

louis smiles, "how'd you know?" he asks, running his fingers through harry's hair,

"I'm your soulmate, i know everything," harry says, and then moves to rests his chin on louis' chest to look up at him.

"whats wrong louis?" harry asks,

louis sighs, he might as well.

"ive been having nightmares," louis answers truthfully,

"about?"

"you," louis says,

harry snorts, " and here i was thinking i gave you wet dreams,"

louis lets out a laugh, "you do babe, you do,"

he tucks a strand of harry's hair behind his ears, "the nightmares are about me losing you, i always  hear you call out my name and look for me for help, but i can never save you, and it scares me a lot,"

"is it about when my instincts kicked in and i disappeared and you didn't know?" Harry asks,

louis grunts as a yes,

"aw babe, why didn't you tell me before? you know i was worried about it too, because like what of we have children and im out there with my pregnant belly, you know? so i just ,read about it in the library, turns out im pretty invincible, " harry says, cheekily,

louis lets out an endeared laugh, "yeah?"

"hell yeah, you literally scored the whole jackpot with me you know?" harry says, giggling.

"that i did," louis says, fondly.

"but you should read up on it, it'll make you feel better, dont be afraid of losing me lou, i could never leave you," harry says,

"and i could never leave you," louis says, honestly,

"well now that, thats out of the way, did you hear me mention children and pregnant belly in our conversation?" harry asks, excited,

louis pulls a blank face, "you mentioned what?"

"louis!" harry says, annoyed and rolls away,

louis laughs and crowds harry's back, "of course i did, if you want we could start working on it now," louis says, grinning, his face full of harry's hair.

louis lets out a gasp when hes turned around and suddenly harry's strandling him.

"no take backs!" harry says, before kissing louis senseless.
