They dock in Barcelona, and Harry gets to leave the ship this time – but only because his heat has arrived. Louis finds him a safe house where Omegas can spend their heats, and is provided with all the necessary tools they could possibly need. Louis pays for the expense out of pocket, and Harry wants to ask the Alpha to spend it with him, but he can't find the words in time before Louis is off again.
It's a long four days without him.
When the Alpha finally comes to pick the Omega up, they return to the ship with so much left unsaid between them. Harry wants to know how Louis has been. He wants to know what Louis did in the past few days. Did he think about Harry? Did he miss Harry?
Because Harry spent his entire heat doing nothing but missing Louis.
For every word the Omega wants to say, the longer the silence seems to last. Neither is sure where to begin. Eventually, Harry asks anything just to say something, "Where are we headed next?"
Witnessing the blue of Louis' eyes convert into despair is hardly enough warning before he speaks out, "We're heading to England."
"You are taking me home?"
"No, Harry. I'm setting you free."
Louis goes to his office, and Harry stands shock still on the deck. No. Harry does not want to go back to England. There is nothing for him in England. Doesn't Louis understand? Doesn't he get it? The freest Harry's ever been is as a prisoner on this ship. This is what he wants. This is where he belongs.
Harry runs off with speed, hoping no one catches sight of the tears departing from his eyes. He initially wanted to go to his room, but his room is everything of Louis, his favorite items, his clothes, his smell. Harry needed a place to be relieved from Louis, not immersed. Climbing to his hiding spot, the Omega wails into his hands, uncaring if anyone hears him from below. What did Harry do to cause this fate? What did Harry do to make Louis so scared that he has to bring Harry back home? Harry thought that after that morning, after that sunrise, that they were on the cusp of something - on the edge of something great. What did he do wrong?
Hours pass before the Omega returns from the spot. He feels hazy, not completely there. As if crying had used up all the water in his body, he feels weightless. How can this be? Suddenly, there are now days left, there's a timeline until he's held as a captive to his family's demands. How can Louis do this to him?
It seems there really is no love in piracy.
