Yezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz :)

Alright you win. Takes dedication to add that many Zs

Yay 😊

So what's your day been like? You cleaned, now you're watching cartoons? Which one?

I'm not watching right now cos I wanted to talk to you cos I want you to be here right now :(
But I'm watching Tom and Jerry :) They're so funny, why do they not like each other?

Well they're cat and mouse, some would say it's expected

Just cos it's what people expect doesn't mean they have to do it! That's silly! It's like when Louis made himself be all stony face at home when we was sad cos he wanted to take care of everybody first :(

You're right, love, you don't have to do what anyone expects. Just be you, you're absolutely perfect yeah?

I know :)
I mean thank you Hazza <3

Mhmm...
Also, who's everybody?

Siblings! We've got soooooo many 🥰

Aww, that's so cute! I've only got one, my sister Gemma. Pain in the arse she is

Harry! For shame 😂

Don't learn the bad stuff from me, only the good

Too late! Ass ass ass ass ass

Lou -_-

Ass :D

You done?

Ass? 🙊

Sigh.

Okay I'm done don't be sad!

M not, promise :)
Anyway tell me about your siblings! I bet they're amazing like you are!

Lou went on to talk about them all, giving them one paragraph each. It was clear he loved them to death and Harry's heart quietly swelled, as he waited for the next rant about a sibling. Louis was such a sweet person. It pained him to know he wasn't happy.

Aww your family sounds like a fun, crazy bunch baby <3

They are!

You never mentioned your parents, though. I keep wondering why

Harry...

Sorry, I'm just curious is all. I hope nothing's happened with them

My parents were great
They're like the greatest people ever.

Was it were or are? Harry suddenly stilled as it dawned on him why Louis hated talking about them.

Baby, I'm sorry. I shouldn't be so pushy, I don't know why I'm like this. I just wanted to be sure, that's all, I didn't mean to do any harm but I understand, now

Well you didn't mean to but you still did, jackass.

Louis?

Yeah. Louis.

I'm sorry, mate.

It's whatever. They're dead. Can we move on, now?

Louis...

I'm fucking shaking lol. I think I'm having a panic attack. That's pathetic, isn't it? And even more pathetic, I'm ttjypijng too yooou wiithh mmmyy shsjkkijg coos you makke mmmmem happy isnnnt  that sutpid

Louis, breathe.
Stop typing.
Take a moment to breathe.
Don't feel bad for any of this, yeah? Please don't. I promise you it'll all be okay.

It won't

Are you still shaking

Yes I'm using text to speech though

That gave Harry an idea. He wasn't sure how much this would help but Niall had told him his voice always had a calming effect on him. So he decided he'd try that and see if it would help

Voice message:
"Lou? Hey, Louis, baby, listen to me. Okay? Just listen and take in some deep breaths."

You are my sunshine...
My only sunshine.
You make me happy when skies are grey.
You'll never know how
How much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

Louis played the note over and over, clutching the phone tightly as his heart squeezed painfully within him. Harry's voice was magic. He hadn't known what to expect from a face that pretty but he definitely hadn't imagined a voice like his. He'd never heard anything like it, honestly.

Lou? You there?
Just keep listening, okay?
If it helps... I dunno if it will but my best friend tells me it's calming when I sing him lullabies so I'd like to hope so
Take care, okay?
Rest.
You're amazing and I am so proud of you, okay?
This feeling won't last forever <3
