Chapter Six

"Goodnight," Harry said to Gigi's family. They were the last to leave.

"Thank you for the smiley face cookies," Bella said, giving him a hug.

He smiled, hugging her back. "Don't thank me," he said. "It was all the kitchen staff."

She looked up at him. "If you marry Gigi would that make me a Queen?"

He laughed. "Not quite," he said. "You'd still be a Princess until you find your own Prince to marry." He left out the part about her being second-born, so she would probably never have her own coronation.

He felt Louis come up behind him, his fingertips ghosting over his waist. He gave a polite nod in greeting to Bella and her parents. "Mind if I steal my Harry away from you?" he asked. He probably shouldn't have called Harry his in front of his potential new family-in-law but he had been doing it ever since he could talk and it had just slipped out.

They smiled at the two of them. "Of course not," Bella's mother said. "We need to get this one to bed anyway."

Bella gave Harry and Louis each a hug, and then took her mother's hand as they step out the large doors which Zayn opened for them.

Once they were alone in the room, Louis slipped his arm around Harry's waist, pressing a kiss to his jaw, right below his ear. Harry turned into him, pressing his face into his neck. "You still want to go up to the roof?" Harry nodded against him.

"Give us thirty minutes, and we'll be up," Louis said to Zayn once he had re-entered and closed the doors. "Let Liam know; Niall will probably be with us."

"Alright," Zayn said. "See you then." He started towards the hallway but paused. "Is he okay?" he mouthed, gesturing to Harry.

Louis nodded. "He's probably just tired and still upset about his parents forcing him into this. I'll talk to him, don't worry."

Zayn nodded, disappearing into the hallway.

"Harry?"

"Hmm."

"Are you really sure you want to go up to the roof tonight? We can always go another night. I can tell you're still upset, and," he said, stepping back slightly and cupping Harry's face in his hands. He ran his thumbs under his eyes. "You look exhausted. Are you sure you don't want to go to bed?"

"Mm-mm. I wanna watch the stars," Harry said, pressing himself back into Louis.

"Alright," Louis said softly into his curls.

They stood there a few moments.

"Harry."

"Hmm."

"You're going to have to move if you want to go to our room before we meet everyone else." Neither of them seemed to notice how easily 'our' slipped out.

"Harry..."

 Harry still didn't answer.

"You okay, love?"

"Yeah," came the whisper after a while. "Can you carry me?"

Louis smiled. "I suppose." He lifted Harry into his arms, carrying him in the direction of his room. When they arrived, he set Harry down on the bed, despite Harry's protests.

"I'm going to put on something more comfortable, then we can go," Louis said. "Hey, Niall?" 

"Yes?" Niall looked up from what he was doing. 

"We are going to the roof with Liam and Zayn if you want to join."

"Sure," Niall said. 

"Great," Louis said. "Could you grab a blanket? I would, but Harry wants me to carry him."

"'Course," Niall said with a small laugh.

When they got up to the roof, they found Liam and Zayn already cuddled under a blanket.

Niall spread out the blanket, and Louis set Harry down, lying down next to him as Harry cuddled into his side. Niall sat down on the other half of the blanket, leaning back on his elbows to look up at the sky.

"It's beautiful," Harry whispered.

"We should come out here more often," Zayn said. "We haven't come out here much since we were kids." 

"Yeah, you guys haven't," Harry said. "Just because you're all eighteen doesn't me I am. I'm still only sixteen."

"You know what I mean," Zayn said. "But really, we should come out here more."

Liam nodded in agreement, pressing a soft kiss to his cheek.

"Ew gross," Louis said. "Not on the job," he said, mimicking Harry's dad.

"Technically, we got off an hour ago. We just chose to spend our free time with you, because we're nice like that," Liam said.

"And you and Harry are worse anyway," Zayn added.

"Yeah, except we're just friends, and we also aren't 'on the job'."

"Shush," Harry said. "Be quiet and look at the stars."

"I agree with Harry," Niall piped up.

"Shhh," Harry giggled.

"Shhhhh," Niall shushed back.

"No, you shhhh."

"SHHHHH."

They both laughed, turning back to the sky. Harry let a yawn, curling tighter into Louis. He didn't even realize he had fallen asleep until Louis was setting him down on his bed, pulling the covers over him and climbing in next to him, pulling him close.
