It was January 10th. Louis had completely recovered. He could finally play football; after 1 long week.

Every time they visited the hospital, Louis would ensure that he and Harry kissed every time Dr. Cowell spoke about Louis' improvement(which meant, all the time). Dr. Cowell would get annoyed, but never asked them to stop as he didn't want to lose his job.

Harry had taken care of Louis over the week like a mother. Louis would complain about Harry's overprotectiveness, but secretly loved it.

Today, Zayn had received detention for flipping off his Math teacher, when he asked Zayn to do one single sum five times, for 'extra practice'. He had to stay back at Uni for an extra hour. Hence, Harry and Louis drove Liam to their dorm, where they were going to plan for Zayn's 20th birthday.

Liam and Harry sat on the couch, while Louis went to make tea. Harry said, "Zayn loves minions. We should have a minion cake." Liam smiled immediately, "Excellent idea. I'll order it." Harry nodded.

Louis shouted from inside, "He has been wanting to buy a hairspray for ages but didn't buy it. I'll buy him a hairspray and a hair gel." Harry shouted back, "Okay honey thank you."

Liam said, "I was planning to buy a ring for Z, a silver ring, all by myself." Harry grinned, "Already made plans, huh?" Liam blushed but asked, "What would be your reaction if Louis bought you a ring for your birthday?"

Harry looked thoughtful for a while, and Louis came in with cups of tea. Louis said, "If Haz ever bought me a ring all by himself, I might be in awe and shock for a while but my love for him would definitely quadruple or something more than that."

Harry blushed, "If Lou ever bought me a ring all by himself, I too might be in awe and shock for a while, I might even throw an A-grade hissy fit, but my love for him will definitely multiply infinite times or something more than that."

Louis eyes widened at that, he even blushed, but he said, "Did I ever tell you that you would make a fabulous songwriter?"

Harry shrugged, "You might have mentioned it once or twice."

"Make that thrice, you'll be one of the best singer-songwriters of the world in a few years." Louis said, proudly.

Harry blushed and reached forward to kiss Louis. Louis kissed him back and they started making out right there. Liam on the other hand said, "Guys, guys, stop. Go get a room." Louis and Harry pulled away and giggled.

In that way, they all continued making plans for Zayn's birthday, which was in 2 days.

Today was Zayn's birthday, 12th January.

Both Harry and Louis had woken up at 5 in the morning so that they could reach Zayn and Liam's dorm before Zayn woke up. Liam had agreed to give them a missed call if Zayn woke up before they arrived.

Both reached Zayn's dorm with Zayn's gifts: a hairspray and a hair gel by Louis, the birthday cake and the novel 'Great Expectations' by Charles Dickens, by Harry. Liam's gift for Zayn was with Liam himself.

Since Louis was still half asleep, Harry decided to drive. Louis fell asleep as soon as he sat in the car and his head rested on Harry's shoulder, as Harry drove. Harry had one of his hands around Louis' shoulders, not only to protect him but also to touch him in some way.

When they reached Zayn's dorm, Harry woke Louis up by just pressing a kiss on the side of his head. Both walked hand-in-hand to the dorm and Louis gave Liam a missed call. Liam opened the door, looking ever so fresh and in all smiles.
