"Harry?" Louis muttered, blinking as he adjusted to the darkness of the room, his pupils dialating in a frantic attempt to find light

He felt Harry before he saw him, before he even heard the rise and fall of his sleeping breaths. He knew Harry's touch, knew how the man's chest felt beneath him

Even whilst he was slightly drunk and in a foreign bed; he knew Harry, he knew his touch, his scent, his skin

"Are you awake?" Louis whispered, his words met with near silence

He sighed softly, glancing down to where there bodies were intertwined, lit up my the dull, pale moonlight that was seeping into the roon

Despite not knowing how he got where he was or why he was even there, Louis felt safe in Harry's arms

And so he felt back to sleep in peace

***

Louis trusted his own brain

He knew his mind better than anyone else in the world, and he credited him self with a semi-decent memory

But what he thought he remembered about that night was to strange to be trusted, even though his mind remembered it so vividly

It seemed only fair to ask

"How did I end up sleeping in your bed, Zayn?" Louis questioned, blinking up at the dark haired man from across the table

Harry choked on his cereal "Sorry" he muttered, coughing into his hand

"I uh, put you there" Zayn answered

"Oh" Louis said softly, eyeing Harry suspiciously "Where did you sleep?" He asked Zayn

Zayn shrugged "With Liam" he replied, and Louis gaped at him "I mean- not like that" he rushed out "Um, I mean- there was no more beds" he clarified

Louis turned to face Harry, disregarding Zayn's last remark "Where did you sleep?" He questioned

"With-"

"Sam remember" Liam cut in "On the couch" he added quickly "He only left this morning"

Louis blinked "Oh" he said softly, hands going to the phone that was perched in his lap and pressing on his most trusted contact

My blonde bitch: Niall, I think something happened. And I think Harry's lying to me about it

***

Present

"Well, I told you not to trust blondie" Liam stated, eyeing Zayn who was tapping his foot patiently whilst waiting for his phone to ring

Zayn huffed in reply "Give him a minute" he muttered, not taking his eyes off of the phone

"He's not going to call us back" Liam replied "Let's just go round there and bust them ourselves" he suggested

Harry shook his head at this "Absolutely not" he cut in "I hope to god that it didn't even work" he added

Zayn scoffed at this "It's all good and well you hating us for this" he said "But someone's gotta be the bad guy to get things done" he pointed out "You'll thank us when you and Louis are having your fifth year anniversary"

Harry blinked at this "Uh-"

"Save your breath" Zayn cut in "You couldn't step up, so we had to step in" he stated "It's as simple as that"

"We're saving your arse-"

Liam's comment was cut off by Zayn's phone ringing. The dark haired man snatched it up, quickly answering it and putting it to his ear

"Blonide, are you there, over" Zayn said instantly

Liam reached to snatch the phone from him, putting it onto loudspeaker so that all three of them could hear

"Yes, sexy. Seen as I rang you, I'm here" Troye answered

"So?" Liam quizzed, tone snappy "Did it work?" He asked

There was a pause over the phone before Troye answered "Yeah, it worked" he answered

***

All three of the boy's were gathered in Zayn's hallway when Troye knocked on the front door; they were all quick to jump up at the sound, rushing to let the boy inside

"Jesus" Troye muttered once the door opened and he saw the three boys stood around the entrance "Back up a little, would you?" He quizzed, blinking at them "Except you" he said to Zayn "You can come as close as you want"

Zayn flushed pink, backing up and looking to his feet shyly as Liam glared at Troye

"Um, can I come in...or?" The blonde quizzed, eyeing the three of them in curiosity

Zayn nodded blindly, still shy and pink in the cheeks as he let Troye into his house

"So?" Harry questioned "What did Jackass do?" He asked

Troye rolled his eyes, striding into the living room "Nice little house you got here, sexy" he admired "You should invite me round more often" he added

"What happened?" Harry quizzed once more

Troye shot him a smile "Patience, curly" he replied

Liam scoffed at this "We don't have time for your little games" he snapped "We paid you good money to do this for us"

Troye raised his brows at Liam "First of all, you paid me literally nothing to do this" he pointed out "And second of all, aren't you going to offer me a drink first?"

Zayn sighed "I'll give you whatever you want once you answer Harry's question" he shot back

"Anything?" Troye quizzed, licking at this lips before smiling and nodding "Alright, you have my undivided attention" he said "Shoot, curly" he added

"What happened?" Harry repeated, incredibly frustrated

Troye sighed softly "Straight to the action are we?" He muttered sadly "Well, for your information, we hooked up" he answered bluntly

Harry blinked at this, looking at Zayn with wide eyes "You did?" The green eyed man asked, swallowing

"We did" Troye confirmed

Liam squinted "What do you mean, 'hooked up'?" He questioned "You have to be a little more explicit than that" he stated

Troye rolled his eyes "You want me to play it out like a porno?" He quizzed "We kissed for a little bit and then I got down on my knees and-"

"Okay, that's enough!" Zayn exclaimed "If I envision Jack's dick for a second longer I'm going to vomit"

Liam blinked "You were envisioning his dick?" He questioned incredulously

"You should have envisioned mine" Troye muttered and Liam glared at him

Harry coughed before speaking again "So you guys didn't...uh?" He trailed off awkwardly

Troye shook his head in reply "No, we didn't have sex" he stated "M'not a whore"

Zayn pulled a face at this "Having sex doesn't make you a whore" he pointed out "That fuels the mentality of purity and it's links to the concept of virginity as a man's right to a woman" he ranted "As a devoted feminist, I refuse to fuel that stigma"

Troye blinked "Fuck, that was hot" he muttered

Harry cleared his throat before leaving the room abruptly "Need some air" he muttered as he left

Liam blinked after him "One of us should probably follow him, right?" He questioned

"Bagsy not me" Troye muttered, propping his feet up on the sofa and leaning back in a relaxed manner

Liam rolled his eyes "We weren't even including you anyway" he grumbled before turning to Zayn "So" He quizzed

"I'll go" Zayn offered, standing up and following Harry out of the room

Troye's eyes absolutely did not follow after him as he walked away

"Harry, you alright?" Zayn quizzed, following the boy into the hallway

Harry coughed softly, nodding "Yeah um- I'm fine" he muttered "Just-" he sighed softly

"Yeah" Zayn mumbled, trailing off "It's rough"

"I just need-" Harry was cut off by the sound of a phone ringing. The green eyed boy fumbled around for a second, fishing his pockets for the devise before eventually pulling it from one of his pockets "Oh fuck" he muttered

"What?" Zayn quizzed, looking over to his friend's phone "What's wrong?" he checked, eyes slowly widening in realisation "Answer it" he pushed

Harry blinked, flustered "What do I say" He questioned

Zayn scoffed, rolling his eyes "Uh, maybe you could start with hi?" He suggested

Harry coughed a couple of times before quickly answering the call and pressing the phone to his ear "Hey, baby, what's up?" He quizzed, acting completely natural

Zayn blinked, impressed by Harry's sudden change in aura as he watched the man become less tense at the sound of Louis' voice

"Put it on loud speaker" Zayn whisper shouted, gesturing wildly at his friend

Harry rolled his eyes but complied, putting the call onto speakerphone and letting Zayn listen in on the phone call

"Where are you?" Louis asked "I can't see your car" he stated

Harry frowned slightly in confusion "I'm out, what's up?" He asked

"What's up is that I'm bored out of my brain!" Louis exclaimed childishly "I'm going to implode" he muttered, sighing afterwards

Harry grinned subconsciously at this "And how am I supposed to help you with that?" He asked

"Entertain me, Harry" Louis pleaded

"Alright" the older boy muttered "Knock knock-"

Louis cut him off abruptly "No jokes!" He demanded "Please no jokes"

Harry scoffed at this "What's wrong with my jokes?" He questioned

The smile was evident in Louis' voice when he replied "Apart from the fact that they sound like something my dad would say?" Louis teased

Harry rolled his eyes, humming softly "Then what d'you want me to do for you, baby?" He asked

"I don't know" Louis whined softly, and Harry could practically see his pout "Where did you say you were?" He asked

"Out" the older boy repeated "Why, is that a problem?" He quizzed

Louis let out a huff "No" he muttered stubbornly

"You sure?" Harry checked "Don't want me to come home?" He asked

Zayn gaped at this, elbowing Harry with an incredulous look on his face

"You're not busy?" Louis questioned

"Nah" Harry replied easily, ignoring Zayn's glare "I'll be home in five" he promised

"Alright" Louis said quickly "See you then" he added before putting down the phone

Harry smiled as he shoved the phone back into his pocket "Duty calls" he muttered

Zayn blinked at this "You're not serious" he muttered

Harry shrugged nonchalantly "What do you mean?" He replied "Not like I have anything better to do" he added

Zayn scoffed at this "We have to figure out what to do with Troye!" He exclaimed

"That's very much your problem" Harry replied "You know that I've been against the plan since the beginning" he said

"Then who's going to tell Louis?" Zayn questioned

Harry shrugged "I'll tell him" he replied "Just give me some time"

Zayn blinked again "We don't have time, Harry" he pointed out "He's only falling more in love with Jack by the day" he reminded

Harry pulled a face at this "So what do you want me to do?" He quizzed "Go over there and kill his mood?" He asked

Zayn scoffed "Kill his mood?" He repeated "You're so bothered about him being happy to see you that you're willing to sit there and lie to him just because it makes you feel good to have him around you!" He accused

Harry fish-mouthed "What? No" he said quickly

"That's exactly what you're doing" Zayn argued "You don't want to ruin the time that you're about to spend together because you're selfish"

"I'm just biding my time!" Harry defended "This isn't something you just throw at someone"

"Well it's not something you hide from someone either" Zayn shot back

Harry scoffed in reply "No offence, Zayn, but if I wanted your advice then I would've asked for it"

Zayn rolled his eyes at this "You literally do" he stated "Everyday" he added#

"Yeah whatever" Harry grumbled, moving away to grab his coat and shoes

At this point, Liam walked into the hallway, eyeing Harry suspiciously once he did so "Where are you going?" He asked

"Where'd you think?" Zayn grumbled lowly

Liam furrowed his brows at this "You sure that's a good idea?" He questioned "You want to tell him right now?" He checked

"Oh, he's not going to tell him" Zayn cut in once more "He's just gonna pretend like it never happened whilst he enjoys the day with Louis"

"What?" Liam questioned, looking directly at Harry who was pulling on his shoes

Harry shrugged "You know what, say what you want, I just want to spend time with him before all of this goes  down" he snapped "And if that's so wrong then sue me" he added before opening up the front door and leaving abruptly
