Louis all but ran out of the bathroom and went straight to Harry's bed where he was laying on top of the covers with nothing but his yoga pants on. Louis gently placed the thermometer in Harry's ear stroking his curls with his free hand. When it beeped Louis pulled it away and was thankful of the fact that it showed Harry being his normal temperature, but Louis was still concerned about the wheezing noise Harry made every time he breathed and the fact that Harry wasn't sleep talking. Louis sighed and placed the device back into his medical box, he then proceeded to pull out Harry's ventilator just in case Harry needed help clearing his lungs, more asthma meds, and some ibuprofen for any chest or back pain Harry might be experiencing due to all the coughing the poor lad has done. Once the ventilator was set up Louis crawled into Harry's bed. Zayn having finally found 'Friends' quickly walked around the flat ensuring all the windows were shut before sitting back down again and Liam went to help Niall in the kitchen.

"Niall what the fuck did you even say to Sally?" Zayn curiously wondered as the usual comfortable silence had settled over them.

"First I called her a Jackeen which means worthless fellow roughly, followed by "tú anam crushing, leithscéal dúr, maidin ar dhuine." which roughly translates to "you soul crashing, moronic excuse of a human being." and finally I said, "Ba chóir dom do chorp a chur chuig na Scots agus a fhios agam go ndéanfaí tú a chéasadh, a tharraingt agus a cheathrú ansin le do cheann ag críochnú ar spíce chun go ndéanfadh na préacháin do shúile." Again, this roughly translates too "I should send your body to the Scots knowing that you would be crucified, then drawn and quartered with your head ending up on a spike for the crows to peck out your eyes." Wanted to be harsher but I couldn't think of anything really mean at the time." Niall shrugged while Liam just shook his head in disbelief.

"Damn, remind me never to get on your Celt side ay." Louis chuckled from his spooning position on Harry's bed. Niall shook his head in laughter.

"Don't you worry Tommo." Zayn and Liam smiled. Everything had settled down, thankfully, giving the lads a chance to take a much-needed breath.
