I'm all yours (l.s. au)

15. They really love each other

The two men just stood there, staring at each other, both of them still having tears running down their cheeks.
Louis was the first to speak again.
"I- I am so sorry. I shouldn't have said that I-" But he was cut off by Harry pressing his lips onto the smaller boys. But so delicate and sweet, that it made Louis melt into the touch. It was just a sweet peck, only lasting around 4 seconds, but it meant so much.
Green eyes stared into blue ones. "I love you too.", Harry whispered. And all Louis could do was embrace the boy into a bone crushing hug. But the younger boy flinched. Of course. Louis remembered and pulled away. "Sorry, should've asked you first, right?", he asked worried.
"Yeah." "Soo, can I? Like, hug you?", Louis asked a little awkwardly. "Sure.", Harry smiled at him. And then they just stood in Louis apartment, hugging for what seems like eternity.
Finally they broke apart, Harry slipping out of his shoes to cuddle on the couch. Harry quickly called Niall to tell him, that he probably won't be coming home that night. He was a little bit mad at himself, because things did not work out, how he planned, but after Louis said those beautiful three words, he couldn't help but kiss the man.

For the next few hours the two just spend time cuddling, watching tv and just chatting. Harry was running his hand along Louis arm, because he knows, Louis secretly loves these gentle touches. But then Harry stopped, when he felt healing wounds under his finger tips. "Lou? What is this?", he asked, already scared of the answer. Louis looked over to Harry, to look, what the boy was talking about. When he realised, he quickly whipped away him arm and sighs. "You were not supposed to see that.", he says, but already knowing, that Harry wouldn't let it go so quickly. "That doesn't answer my question. What is this? What did you do?", Harry tried again, his voice stern but lovingly. "I just... It's an old habit I went back to. But only for one time. I promise.", the blue eyed boy answered truthfully. Harry leaned down to kiss every single scar, the newer ones, and the faded ones from probably a few years ago. "Why did you even do it in the first place?", Harry asked carefully. Louis sighs again. "Well, I already mentioned that boy, Luke. He was my first ever boyfriend. And God, I loved him so much. I was 17 at that time, and we've been together for around 10 months. The first two months have been amazing. But then he started getting really angry at me all the time. He even started to beat me sometimes. We barely saw each other anymore. I knew he was cheating on me. For almost 8 months he treated me like shit. But I stayed with him, because I loved him. Because I thought I deserved it. And when he broke up with me, no matter how bad he had treated me, I still fell apart, because I wanted him. And that's when I started cutting myself. And that is also the reason, why I did not wanna feel, what I feel for you. Because I was so so scared to get broken again. But I realised that you are different, that you have the purest heart on this planet. And that I really can't live without you. I've gotten over Luke after some time. But I know I could never get over you. What I feel for you is so much stronger. I can imagine my future with you, you know. And even though I am still a little scared of those feelings, it's okay, because I trust you. I know you won't use me. I know you really feel the same. I am so freaking in love with you Styles."
Both men had tears in their eyes, once again. "Just kiss me you fool.", Harry laughed. And that's what they did. They kissed, cuddled. Kissed, cuddled. And then the did it again. Eventually, Harry also started talking about... that day. So they cried again. But this time, they were there to comfort each other. Harry told him a bit more about the therapy he started and about Niall and how he helped him. Louis was really grateful, that Niall has been taking care of Harry.

After lots of crying, talking and kissing, Louis stood up, and went into his office. He came back with a piece of paper in his hand. Harry was confused at first, but when Louis came closer, a smirk on his face, Harry knew, what the paper was. It was their bdsm contract. And simply, Harry was raging. Was everything Louis said to him just a way to get Harry back to their bdsm?
"Louis?! What are you doing? You know exactly that I am not ready for any of this, or maybe I won't be ready for this ever again. So if this whole thing is just about getting me back as your sub, then forget it. Why would you even think-", Harry was cut off by the sound of paper ripping apart. "Louis, what- why did you rip the contract apart?!", Harry exclaimed, still pretty angry, but also very much confused. He didn't receive an answer though. Louis just let the pieces of paper fall to the ground and slowly walked over to Harry. He gently took the younger boys hands and then looked him directly into his eyes. "Harry Styles. Would you like to me my boyfriend? Like a real boyfriend?", Louis asked gently.
"Yesyesyes, of course you idiot", Harry laughed, and threw himself onto Louis, so they both landed on the floor with a loud thump. They were curling on the floor, laughing until they couldn't breathe anymore. And then they just stared at each other with so much fond. They really love each other.
