Louis opened the bathroom door and smiled warmly at the sight of Harry laying on the bed. They had decided to go back to Louis' house instead of driving all the way to Cheshire after their dinner date. Their date actually extended longer than they had planned (mainly because Harry refused to leave until he finished eating everything and Louis wouldn't stop kissing him once they finally left the building).

"Don't go in there anytime soon," Louis warned Harry, motioning to the bathroom. "That soup finally caught up to me."

"Ew." Harry scrunched up his noise in disgust. "I really didn't need to know that."

"Yeah, you did." Louis climbed into bed next to Harry and pulled the dark blue blanket over himself.

Harry sighed, pulling the blanket over himself as well. "Do you want to cuddle?"

"Do you even have to ask?"

Louis could see Harry's face light up as he turned on his side and faced away from Louis. "Spoon me."

Louis blinked in confusion because, honestly, who straight up tells someone to spoon them? Then it finally registered in his head and he scooted over and next to Harry. He draped one arm over Harry and used the other to run his fingers through Harry's hair.

"This is kind of surreal," Harry said after a moment of them just laying in silence. "I know we've discussed which one of us is the little spoon, but now we're actually here, spooning!"

"That's such a weird word," Louis commented. "Who was the genius who first got into this position with someone and thought that spooning was the perfect word for what they were doing?"

Harry shrugged as best as he could lying on his side. "I have no clue, but I would like to talk to them to try to understand what was going on in their mind."

"Same here." They laid in silence again until Louis spoke up. "This is surreal to me, too, by the way. I've daydreamed about lying here next to you and now here we are. I just kinda can't believe it."

Harry chuckled. "I guess we're both going to have to start believing soon enough. If we spend the next five days in disbelief, we might not have much fun."

Louis tightened his grip around Harry. "Don't say the number of days, please."

"Sorry. I know you hate that there's a limit being put on our time together."

Louis sighed. "All good things must come to an end, I guess."

"Except us, right?" Harry asked softly. "We'll last forever."

Louis placed a kiss on top of Harry's head. "Of course we will. Forever and always."

Harry reached his hand up and held the hand Louis had draped over his chest. "I love you, okay? I love you so much."

"And I love you."

Harry gave a pleasant sigh. "That's my most favorite thing to hear. Goodnight, baby."

"Goodnight, my love."

"Ooh, that's a new one."

"Like it?"

"Love it."
