Louis walks into the penthouse, shoulders slugged over, backpack hanging off his right arm, as he storms through the apartment, and straight to his and Harry's shared bedroom.

Harry, who was sitting in the living room, finishing some work, saw the whole scene, and was curious and worried, wondering, 'what happened today?'

Harry gets up from the couch, rushing towards the bedroom, work long forgotten, more worried about his small boyfriend. He reaches the bedroom, going to open up the door, but finds it locked.

"Lou, baby, can you let me in, please?" Harry says gently through the door.

"N-no" comes Louis' voice, cracking, and it breaks Harry's heart to know Louis is crying and he can't comfort him because of this stupid door.

"Love, what happened? Why are you crying, darling? If you don't want to open the door, that is  okay, but at least talk to me so we can figure this out, okay?"

"I-I hate c-college. It's s-so stupid. Nobody l-likes m-me and I failed t-three tests today, e-even though I s-studied so h-hard for them" Louis stutters out, letting our heart breaking sobs.

"Oh, baby, it's okay, c'mon, open the door and we can talk, okay?" Harry doesn't get an answer but instead hears the door unlock and open slowly.

"You're not mad?" the smaller of the two, asks softly, breaking Harry's heart all over again.

"Why on earth would I be mad, lovely?"

"Because I'm not doing well in school right now" Louis whimpers.

"Oh baby, c'mere" Harry opens his arms, allowing Louis' small body to fit right in them.

The taller of the two leads them both over to the bed, allowing Louis to sit on his lap, his head in his neck, and continues to cry. Harry continues to whisper soothing words into his ear, softly.

"S-so, you're not m-mad?" Louis asks quietly, after he calms down.

"Love, I could never be mad at you for something that I know you are only trying your best with. I know you studied hard cause I sat there and watched you. You work so hard and hardly ever give yourself credit for what you do. I am amazed by your ambition and independence and wanting to do it all because you feel like you have to prove yourself. But darling, I want you to know that you can depend on me sometimes. I am always here to help you study or review if you ever need it. I am also here to get your mind off of everything and remind you that you are amazing and beautiful and talented and Louis fucking Tomlinson" Harry speaks proudly, meaning every single word.

"Thank you, Hazzie, I know I should really start lightening up on myself but it's hard, because I do have to prove myself to everyone that i'm not just some dumbo or Harry Styles new thing, I am Louis freaking Tomlinson, and I can do anything!" Louis says, putting his hands on his hips and looking up at Harry only to see him smiling right back at him.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Louis questions.

"Cause you're beautiful and I enjoy looking at beautiful people" Harry says smugly, winking at Louis who blushes profusely and shoots his head down, trying to hide his red cheeks.

"Now, do you have any tests tomorrow?"

"Yeah, in architectural theory" Louis responds.

"How about I help you study, and then we can watch a movie with ice cream, cause it helps everything, and then we'll cuddle the whole night" Harry proposes causing Louis to smile with happiness and takes Harry's hand, dragging him to the living room, taking out his books and letting Harry help him study.

The little study session between the couple helps Louis a lot, and he feels completely ready for his test tomorrow.

Harry gets them ice cream from the kitchen while Louis picks out a movie, ending up with licking The Notebook, being he's a sucker for the movie and Harry goes along with it every time because whatever makes Louis happy, especially when he's having a bad day.

The movie ends and the couple spends the night cuddling while sleeping in their king sized bed, wrapped up under the covers, taking in each other scents.

The next day:

"Hazzie!" Louis shouts when he walks through the door, bright smile on his lips and a paper in his hand.

"Lou?" Harry comes down the steps, looking at Louis curiously.

"I got an A on my test today! Look! It's an A! Hazzie! I did it!" Louis says happily, shoving the paper into Harry's hands for him to look at it.

"Wow baby, you did it!" Harry picks Louis up swiftly, twirling him around, kissing him passionately. "I think this calls for a celebration date" Harry says, setting Louis back down onto his own feet.

"Really?"

"Yes, go get dolled up and we'll leave, I know exactly where to go" Harry responds shooing Louis up the steps to go get ready.

The couple ends up having an amazing night, Harry taking Louis to their favorite restaurant, treating him like royalty, as he should be, and making it all around a special night.
