night shift // l.s.

eighty one

"so paris, huh?"

harry purses his lips. "niall better be glad i like him."

louis laughed and leaned over to kiss his jaw. "how long?"

"few days," harry hums before resting a hand on louis' thigh. "then we may go somewhere else."

louis gave him a confused look. "where?"

his husband shrugs and looks over at him. "wherever we want. we got a resort here in england, i got everything set up in france. we can go anywhere you wanna go, baby."

"but the-"

"zayn's cool with taking over everything for a bit. niall's gonna split babysitting days with mum. i already got this planned out. don't even try to stress over it."

"you think raven will be fine?" louis asked softly.

harry bit his lip and flickered his eyes to the rearview mirror before looking back at the road. "i think if we bring her a puppy then she may forgive us."

the smaller man snorts and shook his head. "we have one dog already and he is a handful. no sir."

harry shrugs with a chuckle. "she'll be alright. she's in good hands, babes. bet she needs a break from her daddies anyways."

louis slumps in the seat and rested one of his hands on top of harry's. he looked down at his lap and smiled softly at the black band hugging his husband's ring finger. 

"are you happy?"

harry gave him a look before pulling into the lot he was told to go to and parked the car. he unbuckled his seatbelt and moved to kiss his husband (his husband, for crying out loud), cupping louis' face in his hands. the kiss was gentle, so full of love and passion that it nearly made louis want to cry.

harry bumped their noses together after pulling away from him. "i don't want you to ever second guess my feelings about you, or about us. i fucking love you and am so happy with life right now 'cause you make me the happiest man in the world, lou, okay? got that? good. good talk."

louis laughed softly and nods. "it was just a question, harold."

harry kissed him again. and again. and again. "don't care. i have you. i'm perfect."

his partner smiled up at him. "damn right you are."

harry gave him another kiss before getting out of the car. louis gets out and retrieved their daughter from her car seat, carrying her in the building while harry followed with her diaper bag on his shoulder. inside were tables littered around them, chairs starting to fill with members from conquest and redwood both on top of niall, zayn and trisha. jay would have stayed but she had to get back home for work the next morning but left plenty of presents for them in trisha's car.

whistles, cheers and claps surrounded the lads as they made their appearance. harry smiled, resting a hand on louis' waist to keep him close. he greeted the group and thanked them for showing up and nearly threw something at zayn when he said he was only there for free beer.

brothers.

louis got raven nestled in a highchair placed beside trisha and placed her diaper bag behind the bar on the back wall. zayn had mentioned they would be having drinks but didn't think it would be like this. it's not bad, just a bigger crowd than he thought. his mother in law already promised that she will take care of raven for the reception and not to worry his pretty little head about it.

harry hums as an idea pops in his mind. he gave louis a devious look before shouting at everyone in the room that louis was their bartender for the night. louis nearly climbed over the bar to strangle him for landing all of the attention on him but laughed when the first person to head his way was, ironically, niall. but instead of sitting at the bar, he came behind it and started grabbing glasses from the shelf below them.
