Harry walks into his and Louis's house, humming a song. He walks into their bedroom and stops short when he sees Louis. He sits on their bed, knees pulled up to his chest. His face is tear stained and his eyes are blank. Harry walks over to him, concern spreading across his face. He sits on the edge of the bed next to him.
"Lou..." He says softly. "Lou, what happened?"
He doesn't say anything, instead burying his face in Harry's neck, his shoulders shaking with silent sobs. Harry rubs small circles on his back, trying to calm him. He kisses the top of his head.
"Louis, love, you have to tell me what's wrong." Harry murmurs.
Louis shakes his head. He wraps his arms around Harry's middle and Harry pulls him into his lap, holding him against him.
"Okay." Harry says quietly. "It's alright."
"I can't do it." Louis sobs. "I can't."
"You don't have to." Harry says. "I'll do it for you."
For a few minutes, Harry just holds him. He can't help until he knows what's wrong so he just keeps his arms around him, kissing his head gently every few seconds. Louis's whole body shakes and he holds Harry like he's his lifeline.
Soon, Louis stops crying as hard but silent tears still fall down his face.
"Louis, will you tell me what happened?" Harry says. "I can't help if I don't know."
"It's...it's my mum." He breathes. He shakes his head and puts his head back against Harry, unable to speak anymore.
Harry sighs. He pulls him even closer. "Lou, I'm so sorry." He whispers. "Why didn't you call me? I would have come sooner."
Louis just shakes his head again. He lifts his head and looks at Harry, his blue eyes full of pain. Harry kisses him softly. Louis shifts so he's resting one leg on either side of Harry. Harry leans against the back of the bed and rests his hands on Louis's hips. Louis deepens the kiss and puts his hands in Harry's hair.
"Louis, you can't just kiss away your feelings." Harry says, pulling away slightly.
Louis groans. "Yes, I can."
Harry tilts his head. "Lou..." Louis looks at him. It's clear he's trying not to cry again. Harry sighs. "Louis, how about we just go to sleep, okay?"
Louis tilts his head back, trying to stave off tears. He nods.
"Okay." Harry says.
Louis gets off of him and rests his head on his chest. "I love you, Hazza." He mumbles.
"I love you too." Harry says, gently running his hands through Louis's hair until he falls asleep.
