In My Skin

Summary: Harry comes up with an idea to prank Louis but it's not as funny as he thought it would be.

This is an angsty one based off of a video I saw and it's very short. Enjoy!

Louis stared in the mirror with a frown. Touching his hips and turning to the side, looking at his appearance. A pastel blue turtle-neck sweater was his top and some black leggings were his bottoms, along with his usual black vans. His hair was just brushed to the side.

Such a simple outfit, yet, he couldn't look away, and he couldn't stop pointing out all of his features.

"Lou! We have to go!" Harry called from downstairs.

"Alright!" He called back.

"I'll be in the car, love!"

Taking another look in the mirror, he huffed and ripped off his sweater, exchanging it for the navy blue crewneck that hung in his closet. He smoothed it out and lurched his purse over his shoulder, looking one last time before hurrying downstairs. 

Whenever Harry pranked Louis or Louis pranked Harry, it was always something they would laugh off. They never fought about it or got seriously mad at one another. Which is why Harry was fooled to believe that this new idea of his would be completely harmless.

"Took you long enough." Harry joked as his husband climbed into the car. 

"Sorry."

"Oh."

Louis looked over when he heard that disappointed tone. "What is it?"

"Hem... you uh- you couldn't have put something nicer on?"

Louis froze.  "...What?"

"We're going to lunch with my mum." Harry's voice was blunt and it was a stab to his already dying confidence. 

"I-I know." Louis's voice was just above a whisper, small, and weak. "I was going to go with the turtle-neck, but I thought I looked weird-- the colors were too light. I-"

Harry noticed that Louis was actually taking his joke to heart and he immediately felt like shit.  

"Baby..."

"I just don't feel good." Louis cried, his tears spilling over. Watching as the boy curled in on himself, his knees squeezing together and his shoulders scrunching up into his chest, was physically making his chest hurt. 

"Lou, I'm so sorry, it was supposed to be a prank, I..." Harry tried, but he knew it wasn't an excuse. "Come here, love. I'm so sorry."

Louis climbed over the console and into Harry's lap, sobbing on the mans shoulder. 

He was so small in Harry's arms and he couldn't hold the boy any tighter. With him already caving in on himself, he was so fragile. 

"I love you so much." Harry mumbled sweet things into the boys ear. "Don't think less of yourself, baby, please. Listen,"

The boy craned his neck up to look at his husband, still sniffling. His shiny blue eyes were rimmed red, staring at Harry's green ones, wide and vulnerable. 

"You, Louis, are the smartest.. sassiest.. sexiest..." He pecked the boys salty lips with every word. "Most beautiful man I have ever met. You are the one I love, and I love you for you. Okay?"

Louis scrunched his nose and a small smile adorned his lips. HIs heart fluttered with his husbands words. "Okay."

"You look... absolutely ravishing, Lou. Believe me." 

Giggling when Harry gave his bum a playful squeeze, Louis leaned in for a kiss. "Show me?"

"Tonight." Harry groaned. "Let's get this lunch over with, and then I'll show you how beautiful you are."
