Harry's POV

When they arrived in LA, it was nearly 2AM. Freddie would stay the night with them in their hotel before Brianna would pick him up the next morning. Of course Louis had his own house in the hills and everyone else would have had a place to stay as well but they were 'a band. Not five individuals'. So as a band they stayed at the same hotel for the next week.

Harry was glad that he didn't have to spend much time in the hotel. With rehearsals for the Grammy's, his week wasn't giving him much free time. So no playing the role of a single straight man when all he wanted to was be with Louis.
This time everyone had their own room. Unfortunately. With a smile on his face Paul had admitted that there in fact had been another room in Australia. But he had insisted that there was only one for Louis and Harry - so that they could 'figure their shit out'.
Harry had just smiled and thanked him quietly.
"You two belong together. I knew that from the day that I met you"

The hotel was quiet. And except for the receptionist and a few security guards there was no one around. They were handed their keycards and as always Paul accompanied them to their rooms and made sure everyone was safe.
Harry's room was the first one. And he was thankful for it. He was tired of the flight and just wanted to sleep. He would've 9 hours until he had to be ready to leave for the first rehearsal again.
"Night, night Harry.." Freddie mumbled - his eyes were nearly closed already. Harry smiled.

"Good night, little man"
He knelt down as Freddie hugged him.
"Will you say goodbye to me tomorrow?"
" 'course! I'm not leaving without saying goodbye to you!" Freddie exclaimed and Harry hugged him again.
"Good. Now go to sleep. Sweet dreams"
"Night night.." The boy took Louis' hand and waved at him before he finally entered his room.

As soon as the door was closed, he just threw himself onto the bed and closed his eyes. Knowing that he had already set up the alarm for the next morning, he sighed and fell asleep. Only to be woken up by a soft knocking on the door a few minutes later.
Harry sighed and closed his eyes again. Knock knock. "Harry..? Are you there..?" A voice whispered and Harry opened his eyes again. "Harry..?" Louis.

Within seconds, Harry got up and walked over to the door. He opened it and looked sleepily at his boyfriend.
"Lou? What are you doing here?" He wanted to let him inside but Louis shook his head.
"I'm sorry for waking you up.. But Freddie.. He won't sleep until we both tuck him in.. Could you..come over? Just for a moment..? I'm so sorry" Louis scratched the skin at his neck and looked at him.
Harry rubbed his eyes and yawned. "It's fine. Of course we'll do that"
He quickly grabbed his keycard and turned to look if someone was on the floor.

"There's no one, love. I checked before walking over" Louis gave him a smile and Harry smiled back.
"Let's go then" He couldn't hold back from taking Louis hand as they quietly walked over to the suite Louis was sharing with Freddie. He felt Louis squeezing his hand as he opened the door and smiled.
They headed inside where Freddie was already sitting on his bed. His eyes were red from crying.

"Oh Freddie, what's going on? I thought we said you would have sweet dreams?" Harry frowned and sat down next to him. Immediately the boy hugged him and started to cry again. He mumbled something but Harry didn't understand.
"Little one.. What's wrong?" Harry looked at Louis who was as worried as he was.
"I-" He cried and looked up at Harry.
"You..?" Harry wiped away the boy's tears and looked down at him.
"I don't wanna go.." Freddie blurted out and started crying again. It nearly broke Harry's heart.

"Oh Fred.. It's going to be alright. We'll see each other soon" Louis sat down next to them and patted Freddie's back.
"You said that last time too!" Freddie cried and Harry could see the hurt in Louis' eyes.
"I know, love.. But I promise. It won't be long this time"
"Both of you?" Freddie looked at them and Louis nodded.
"Both of us. Very soon. Pinky Promise"
"Pinky promise"
A smile made its way on Freddie's face as their pinkies touched and Harry smiled at Louis.
"But only if you go to bed now"
"I'm in bed" Freddie grinned and wiped away his tears before he yawned.
Harry chuckled.
