Blue-Eyed Baby

Chapter Forty-Five - Aquarium

It was Louis' last day. Harry still hadn't told Louis that he wouldn't be flying back home with them. When he'd booked his flight to Tenerife he completely forgot about getting home, when he had looked to book one a couple days prior there were no seats available unless he wanted first class and his student wages would not suffice a first-class ticket. He eventually found a flight four days later where he didn't have to pay first-class prices. Harry booked the flight as soon as he saw it because he didn't want to be in Tenerife any longer then he had to be. He'd phoned his mum and spoken to Johannah about the problem, both agreeing they'd help him pay for the hotel for the extra three nights as well as any food or drinks he needed.

A loud banging at the bedroom door pulled Harry out of his sleeping state. He slowly detached himself from the sleeping boy next to him and walked over to the door, looking out of the peep hole to see who was disturbing them. When he got to the door he saw three blonde girls and a brunette, he smiled and slowly pulled the door open. The girls quickly looked up at him before speaking.

"Harry," Lottie started.

"Is Lou awake?" Felicite questioned.

Harry shook his head prompting the two smallest blondes to speak up, big blue eyes gazing at Harry, "We're going to the aquarium. Get up, get up, get up," they shouted, pushing past Harry, and running to their sleeping older brother before launching themselves on the bed. Harry smiled fondly before noticing the tapping on his leg. He looked down to see Lottie smiling sadly.

"Can we talk?" she softly spoke.

"'Course, Fiz go jump on your brother," he smiled at the girl. "Louis, I'll be back in a few," he shouted, leaving before Louis had time to reply.

Lottie and Harry walked to the next door down and entered the room, "Mum and dad are on the balcony, I just wanted to talk in private because I know you haven't told him yet."

"I can't bring myself to do it," Harry replied, sadly.

"I know, it's okay. Us girls all know. It's why we chose to go to the aquarium; you can tell him there. I'm pretty sure he'll want you to himself as well so you can easily come back to the hotel."

"Thank you, Lottie. Really," Harry smiled pulling her into a hug, "come on lets go get him."

Harry and Lottie walked back to the bedroom finding Louis sat up on the bed talking to his three youngest siblings.

"Hey babe," Louis spoke up when he saw Harry.

"Hi."

They spent half an hour in Louis' room before sending the girls out so they could get dressed.

Once they were washed and dressed they headed down to the lobby to meet the others and they all headed out in the rental car to the aquarium.

When they got there, they bought tickets and started looking around. They saw the different fish and sharks and stingrays. They stopped for dinner halfway round before continuing on. just before they reach the penguins Lottie gave Harry a 'Tell him' look, so he grabbed Louis' hand pulling him away from the crowd before speaking up, "Lou, you know this was a random trip right?"

"Yes?" Louis replied, confused.

"Well, I kind of forgot to book a flight back home."

"What?"

"I'm not flying back with you later," Harry said, looking down at his shoes.

"Oh, uhm, when will you be back?"

"Late on Sunday."

"How are you paying?"

"My mum said she'd help and so did yours."

"Harry, why didn't you tell me."

"I got scared you'd be mad," Harry spoke.

"Baby," Louis cooed, "Of course I'm not mad, I just wish you'd told me, so we didn't have to spend the day at the aquarium."

Harry checked his watch, "well we've still got 4 hours before your flight if you want to head back?"

"Can we?"

"Of course, come on. Let's go tell them."

Harry grabbed Louis' hand, they walked over to the family telling them the plans. After they had hugged the girls they headed back to the hotel.

When they got back to the hotel they went straight to the room. Harry and Louis got on the bed cuddling close. They turned on some movies and just laid together quietly watching the variety of films they'd chosen.

When the last film finished Harry looked down at Louis seeing him fast asleep. He kissed his head before checking the time. They still had an hour and a half before Louis had to leave so Harry set an alarm, moving down on the bed curling closer to his older – but smaller – boyfriend, he smiled and kissed his head watching his eyes flutter and a small smile appear on his lips before falling asleep himself.

An hour later the alarm sounded through the room waking both boys from their sleep. Louis groaned before turning in closer to Harry's body. Harry pressed a kiss to his head before whispering, "Lou, you need to get ready to leave." Louis groaned again but rolled away from the younger boy. He got up and out of the bed and walked over to his suitcase he grabbed the few things that were scattered and shoved them in, he grabbed his shower supplies and his tooth paste and toothbrush. He pulled his shorts off replacing them with sweatpants and pulled a jumper over his naked chest. He zipped his suitcase after checking the room one last time.

He stood it by the door, checked the time and walked back to his boyfriend, "30 minutes left to cuddle me. Don't try to get me away so soon," he laughed snuggling closer to Harry.

Harry just hugged him tight pressing a kiss to his forehead and whispering, "I love you."

Both boys laid awake in silence for another half an hour before Louis really had to leave. Harry walked him to the door pulling him in and kissing him before saying, "Sunday, do you want me to come to your dorm when I get back? It might be late though."

"I don't care, come get in bed with me. I love you, Harry," Louis said before kissing him a last time and turning around to go get his family.

"Text me when you land," Harry shouted behind him. Louis turned, held a thumb up and with one last wave, he was gone around the corner ready for home. Harry walked back into the room dropping onto the bed and falling asleep.
