100 Days

13

Harry is doing better. Therapy helps and he pushes his boundaries all the time. Louis takes him shopping. Something he used to love but hasn't done in almost a year. He goes a little crazy with his shopping but Louis just laughs.

He goes back to work part-time at first. He has missed his work and the people he works with but he never thought that he would see it again. Hell, he didn't think he would see anything or anyone again.

He and Louis are doing great. They take it slow. Too slow. Louis is driving him crazy, but a good crazy, with his lips and hands. After a month of dating, Harry finally begs him to make love to him and Louis doesn't have to be asked twice. When they are coming down from their highs Louis kisses his fingertips and tells him three words that he has been longing to hear.
"I love you."

"I love you too." Harry immediately answers.

"Good. Don't leave me." Louis says emotionally.

"I'm not going anywhere." Harry giggles.

Louis looks him deeply in the eyes.
"Do you mean that?"

Harry understands and he also realizes that he really meant it. He wants to live. He tears up.
"Yes. I want to live now. I'm doing better Lou. I'm not done. I still have a long way to go, but I'm doing better. You don't have to worry about me."

"Thank God!" Louis says and bursts out crying.

It's Harrys time to comfort him now.
"You saved me, Lou. I was in such a dark place when you stepped into my life and I'm not gonna lie. I was planning to end it. I can see that you know that and I'm sorry. I promise you that I will never let it get that far again."

"Just talk to me. I love you so much, Harry." Louis says and dries his eyes.

"I love you too." Harry answers and he knows he'll be alright from now on.

The End
