Harry walks out of Leilani's rooms and goes towards the room where the crashing sound came from. Turns out, it's one of the two spare rooms that Louis had decided to use as guest rooms. Harry pushes the door open and takes in the scene that froze at the sound of the door.

He looks at the table and finds nothing before he lowers his eyes and sees the shattered vase on the floor beside the table. He sighs and crosses his arms before narrowing his eyes at Niall and Lynn who have been frozen on their spots. Harry smirks a little when he notices both their lips that are swollen and bright red.

"Breaking my house, are we?" Harry asks before Niall lets out a nervous chuckle.

"Sorry, bro." Lynn says and scratches the back of his neck. "We didn't see it there."

"Sure you didn't." Harry shakes his head. "Clean it up." He orders before walking out of the room and shutting the door behind him. He waits for few seconds, hand still gripping the doorknob and smirks when he hears giggles coming from the boys inside the room.

He smirks wider when the giggles get muffled and without a warning, he pushes the door open again, catching the boys in a lip lock.

"What the hell, Harry!?" Lynn yells with wide eyes, startled at being caught.

"Oops!" Harry shrugs with a smirk and winks at Niall before actually leaving this time.

_______________

"Uh, Harry?" Anne whisper-calls as there is a movie playing on the TV which everyone is completely engrossed in. Harry looks at Anne who motions for him to follow her, and with a little nod, he does. He gets up from the floor, looks at Louis who is too busy talking to Ashton about something, before following his mother to the same room where he had caught Lynn and Niall kissing.

"Yes, mum?" He asks and pushes the door shut, not bothering to lock it.

Anne brings her bag that she had kept in the room before and pulling out an envelope. She hands it to Harry and the boy looks at it confused before looking back up at his mother.

"Your tickets to back home." She explains and Harry nods, looking down at the envelope with a sad smile. "Are you sure about it, Haz." Anne asks and Harry nods again.

"Yeah." Harry says, "I need it.. Louis needs it." He nods in finality.

"No, I don't." Comes a small voice, making Harry and Anne turn to look at the door to find Louis there. He has tears running down his cheeks, his eyes showing nothing but hurt, anger and betrayal.

"Lou-"

"You promised." Louis cries, interrupting Harry just as harshly as he's breathing right now.

"Baby, lis-"

"Don't baby me, Harry. You promised! You promised you won't leave." He yells as he takes a step forward.

"I know, Lou, bu-"

"No! Don't Lou me either! You broke your promise. You shouldn't have said you'll stay if you wanted to leave. Why'd you lie? You said you loved me, Harry, why are you leaving then?!" He yells at Harry and Eleanor, Luke, Perrie and Liam come up to check what the yellings are about.

"Let me explain, Louis!" Harry shouts making Louis jump and widen his eyes.

"Explain what? All the reasons why you want to leave me?" Louis whispers with wide, teary eyes and Harry thinks he looks absolutely adorable.

"Come here." Harry says, opening his arms, but Louis shakes his head and starts crying again. "Come here, baby.. please?" He says softly and Louis slowly, but surely walks towards the taller boy and holds his hand, though Harry was ready to hug him. Harry feels as if his offer to hug got rejected as he takes Louis' hand and leads him towards the bed.

He makes the boy sit down at the edge of the bed and kneels down on the floor, in front of Louis as he holds both of his tiny hands in his large ones.

"I'm not leaving you, Babe." Harry says softly.

"You do realise you still have tickets in your hands right?" Louis asks, looking down at their clasped hand and surely, the envelope was now between Harry and Louis' hands.

"Yeah. But I have tickets.. not just one ticket which would be for me alone." Harry smiles up at his boyfriend.

"Wha- what do you mean?"

"There are three tickets in this envelope, Babe." Says Harry, placing the envelope in Louis' lap. "You and Lanny are coming home with me for a few days. I'm sorry I took this decision without asking you, but I thought this was needed." He explains and Louis, once again, bursts into tears.

"I'm so sorry, I thought you're leaving me." Louis cries and pulls Harry close before hugging him, hiding his face in the crook of the taller boy's neck.

"It's okay, Lou. I know I made it look like that when we fought, but I was never planning such a thing. I love you and I'm never letting you go again." He kisses Louis' head.

"What's happening? Why is daddy crying?" Leilani enters the room and Louis pulls back from Harry as he wipes his eyes with the back of his hand.

"Daddy just had a misunderstanding, bub." Harry says as Leilani cuddles to his side. "How do you feel about going to England for a few days, love?" He asks the little girl who grins at him.

"I feel awesome!" She says and Harry smiles before looking at Louis again.

"Is it a good idea though?" Louis asks and Harry cups his cheeks. "I mean bringing back the most wanted Louis Tomlinson to Cheshire?"

"Yes. Yes it is. You didn't get to give a proper farewell to your mother and Fizzy. You're not any criminal there anymore. I'm sorry to deflate you, but you're not the top talk of the town anymore." Harry jokes, getting a few chuckles. "I think you need this, Lou, you deserve this." He says and reaches up to kiss Louis' forehead before booping his nose.

"Yeah, I guess.." Louis nods.

"Well.." Liam speaks up from the doorway, where everyone is stood, not wanting to get in and disturb their discussion. "I think it's a good idea too. You can see Zayn and Lottie again." He says and Louis' face lights up.

"Yeah.. oh my god! Of course I have to meet them." Louis smiles through his tears.

"Of course. I haven't visited Lottie much, but Zayn has been dying to see you and Gemma." Liam explains and Louis' smile widens at the thought of his best friend.

"Hold on a second...." Harry says slowly as he narrows his eyes at the brown eyed boy. "You already knew about Louis being alive..." He states and Liam's eyes widens as he starts to panic when Harry gets up off of the floor, still looking at Liam accusingly.

"I- Harry, I- I promised Zayn that won't tell.." He stutters and takes a step back as Harry takes one towards him.

"You.. you hid it from me.. " Harry cracks his knuckles as if ready to pounce on his prey and Louis can't help but smile fondly at his boy.

"Look, Harry- Aahh!!" Liam takes a run for it when Harry sprints towards him. The puppy faced boy runs in the living room and right out of the apartment before taking the stairs, running downwards with Harry hot on his trail. "Harreh, I'm sorreh!" He yells and hears Harry yell back something like 'No, you're not!'.

Both the boys run on the streets, pushing past a few people who yell at them to get some brains and passing a few shops. It's after running a few blocks away that something catches Harry's eyes and he completely forgets about the boy he's chasing. He halts his movements and stare at the pair of blue eyes that stare back at him through the glass. Harry is totally in awe as he looks at the tiny kitten stick his tiny little tongue out and licks the glass.

"What happened?" He hears Liam come up behind him.

"Isn't he cute?" Harry asks, pointing at the little kitten.

"Harry.." Liam says slowly, knowing exactly where this is going. Harry grins at him like a Cheshire cat and pulls his phone out. He dials Louis and waits for the boy to pick up.

"Harry! Where the hell-"

"Do you like cats?" Harry asks enthusiastically.

"Um.. what? Uh- I- yeah. Yeah I do." Louis replies, a bit startled by the sudden question.

"And Lanny? Does she likes them?" Harry asks with the same grin.

"Yes, she adores them."

"Yay! Okay, bye! I love you!" Harry says before hanging up and Louis on the other hand, stares at his phone for a solid minute before shaking his head at the silly boy.

Harry holds onto Liam's hand and pulls him into the pet shop.

"Hello, how may I help you, dear?" A short, old lady comes up in front of the boys with a warm smile.

"We want to adopt that kitten." Says Harry, pointing at the little basket that the cat was in.

"Sure, hun." She smiles.

After they are done with the paper work, Harry buys cat food, a pet carrier bag and a litter box for the new pet.

"So do you provide a health certification or will I have to get it done by a vet? Because this little buddy will be flying in two days." Harry inquires as he pets the kitten in his arms who makes loud purring sounds, making Harry coo at him.

"Oh, we provide that, but the person in charge of that is not here right now, so would you mind visiting tomorrow?" The lady asks and Harry finds himself nodding his head.

"Yeah, sure. That's no problem, I'll come tomorrow." Harry smiles and they leave the shop with a little surprise for everyone at home.

"Come on, Harry! At least let me hold him for a little while!" Liam whines and Harry shakes his head.

"No. My kitty, my baby, only I carry." He says like a child as they enter the apartment building, Liam carrying the other stuff they bought.

"Oh my gosh! Papa brought a kitty!" Yells Leilani as soon as she sees the cat in Harry's arms. And that's all it takes for everyone to gather around Harry, asking to hold the cat and pet him and coo when he purrs.

"What do we name him?" Louis asks as he wraps his arms around Harry's waist.

"Not sure yet. We can think of it later." Replies Harry and Louis nods, nuzzling into the taller boy's shoulder. Harry feels Louis placing kisses on his shoulder and smiles down at him. "You really thought I'd leave you, didn't you?" He asks softly, not wanting to disturb anyone who's busy playing with the cat on the floor while Harry and Louis are sat on the couch.

"I thought you'd think it wasn't worth it, all the shit I put you through." Louis whispers.

"You're so wrong though, because every ounce of pain we've been through is worth it. It's all worth it when I sit here, right beside you, watching our daughter play with our cat, as I tell you that I love you. At this moment we're stronger than ever, Louis, because we learn. We learn to trust each other a little more after every time we go though a drama, we learn to accept the fact that we're both stubborn and don't listen to each other sometimes, we learn to embrace it and instead of trying to change each other, we try and learn to understand each other a little more. Remember that day when we fought? It did hurt me, your words hurt me, but later that night, when you held me a little tighter as we went to sleep, maybe because you were afraid that I'll leave, I thought it was worth it. Our fight was worth it if it got you to hold me so tight. Compared to when we had met, we have grown so much because every time we fall, we hold on to each other and get up together. We're standing so tall right now because we've both seen each other breaking down our walls for each other and that, Louis, only makes us stronger, it only makes us see each other a little clearer each time. It only makes us fall in love a little more and a little harder each time." Harry says with a watery smile as Louis stares at him intently.

"Alright, sap." Louis whispers and they both chuckle lightly. "I'm not capable of so many words, so I'm just going to settle down to saying that I love you." He says and Harry chuckles again.

"Simple, but effective." Says Harry, booping Louis' nose who puckers his lips.

"Now kiss me, you fool."
