Save Me and I'll Save You L.S

Chapter 26

A/N Hey! I hope everyone is doing alright :)

Louis 

As Louis steps out of the flat he is instantly hit with cool air making him shiver even in his sweatpants, hoodie, beanie, and coat. He never did like the cold, or the dark for that matter and he now found himself dealing with both. But it was ok because it was for Harry, and that mattered more than a chilly night. 

Although Louis was worried for Harry because he had sounded upset over the phone after his nightmare, part of him was bubbling with warmth despite the cool air surrounding him. Harry had a nightmare and called him for help, that small detail alone caused Louis's heart to flutter.

If Louis was being truthful he would admit that Harry moving out did hurt because although they didn't have the most straight forward relationship Harry had become a constant in Louis's life. Yes the flat had been slightly cramped wth three people living there but it didn't matter really, as Niall had been spending an increased amount of time with his mystery girl. Niall was Louis's best mate but nothing really compared to Harry, who everything just felt so easy with there was no forced conversation between him and Louis no tight lipped smiles like any of Louis's past relationships, Harry had effortlessly placed himself in the center of Louis's world. 

As Louis continued walking at his quick pace he couldn't help but feel the ball of anxiety slowly expanding in his stomach. Uni was really ramping up now, and he couldn't afford to be distracted, he had a scholarship to maintain and one grade slip could cost him big time, he really really needed to get on top of his studies. Not to mention his mental health which had become fully reliant on Harry. And yes Louis was aware that it wasn't healthy to base happiness off someone else but it was better than slipping down into the dark hole of depression again, theres only so many times you can be dragged down that hole before you cannot get out. 

Shuddering slightly from his dark thoughts Louis now finds himself at Harry's apartment complex. Taking a moment to exhale heavily allowing all the tension to drain from his body watching his breath swirl up into the cool night, Louis jogs up the stairs.

He hasn't even landed his second knock on the door by the time its swinging open to reveal a puffy eyed Harry, dimples still making an appearance for Louis. 

"Hey" Harry breaths before engulfing Louis in a teddy bear hug, Louis melting into it like the hopeless romantic he was. "You're so cold Lou come on lets get you some tea." Harry said as his fingertips snuck under the layers of Louis's clothes to find his unusually cool skin.

"I thought I was meant to be the one taking care of you." Louis chuckled allowing himself to be guided by Harry's firm hand on his lower back.

"Mmm or maybe that was just my excuse for getting you over here." Harry said eyes twinkling mischievously, but quickly growing serious when Louis's expression failed to match. "But thank you for coming here Lou it... really means a lot that you care about me that much."

Louis smiled softly at Harry hopping up onto one of the bar stools letting Harry make him a tea, he rather liked watching Harry be all domestic. "I was just worried about you Curly, I know how it feels having bad nightmares and I didn't want you to be all alone."

Harry cooed softly walking around the kitchen island and placing a steaming mug in front of Louis, before moving to stand between Louis legs. Louis smiled tilting his chin up so he could meet Harry's intense gaze, his green eyes causing Louis to flush and break the gaze. 

"Look who's gotten shy all of a sudden." Harry teased his tone light and playful. 

Although Louis's eyes remained stuck on the hands which were clasped together tightly in his lap, the change in body language causing Harry to frown. It was unlike him to be so shut off. 

"Lou hey" Harry tried, cupping his jaw thumbing at it softly. Still failing to get a reaction from the blue eyed boy. 

"Baby" Harry whispered leaning down to nose along Louis's jaw, the action causing him to inhale sharply through his nose. "There you are" Harry kept his voice at a whisper still cautious of Louis seemingly disappearing inside his head again. 

No words left Louis's lips but he instead unclasped his hands to wrap around Harry's neck toying with the curls at the base of his neck. Harry's eyes flickered to Louis's lips before moving back to his eyes, the other boy mirroring his actions. Not wanting to ruin the moment Harry moved in slowly closing the gap between their lips, gracing Louis's lips with the lightest of kisses. 

Louis sunk into the kiss letting his legs fall open and Harry's body to fill the space, the tea now long forgotten on the side. Harry tilted his head deepening the kiss, Louis's lips parting in return allowing Harry to softly explore his mouth. 

In the back of his head sat a never ending to-do list filled with the stresses of uni, grades, money, and everything else that was fucking with Louis's life. But right now with the way Harry was kissing him nothing else mattered. Small whimpers left Louis's mouth swallowed up by Harry who's hands had settled on the dip of his waist. 

Harry lent impossibly further into the kiss sliding his strong arms around Louis's back before squeezing him tightly and sweeping him off the stool. A shrill squeak left Louis's lips as his legs wrapped around Harry's narrow waist, their lips parted allowing each of them to catch their breath. 

Louis couldn't help but admire Harry's blissfully sinful appearance, his lips were ever so plush and well kissed. Curls that usually fell perfectly were wild, a result of Louis's hands raking through them. Louis's staring was cut short by Harry rejoining their lips in a searing kiss, turning to walk through the apartment Louis still wrapped up in his arms.

He stumbled down the hall and into his room, kicking the door shut behind him Harry fell backwards onto the bed leaving Louis straddling his chest. Harry's fingers rested cautiously at the hem of Louis's shirt, "We can stop, I don't want to do anything you don't want to Lou" 

Louis shook his head rejoining their lips "m' want you now curly" he mumbled against Harry's pillowy lips who nodded eagerly against Louis's. Harry rolled them over so Louis was pressed to the bed, taking a moment to admire his pure beauty before kissing him again and indulging in Louis, because for the first time this meant something to him. This wasn't some random girl, not a meaningless fuck this was what real intimacy was, and Harry couldn't have been happier.
