Scales- Larry Stylinson

Chapter 5

WARNING!!
This chapter has smut in it and a little bit of Dub-con. If that isn't your thing then just skip the last part of the chapter. It isnt enough to tag, IMO, just a heads up.

Louis drove in silence to the store. He glanced over side ways at Harry a couple times. The snake hybrid was fidgeting uncomfortably in the seat. His body wasn't made to sit with his tail in front of him. It looked like it hurt his back. Louis looked briefly at the curled pile of tail in front of Harry. He found himself wondering what Harrys tail felt like. Louis had never touched a snake before, always too afraid to being bitten. But now...

Once they stopped at a stop sign, Louis couldn't help himself. He reached over and put his hand on Harrys tail. Harry flinched immediately away, making Louis frown.

"Sorry." He pulled his hand away and started to drive once more. Harry bit his lip, looking at him.

"Itss...fine." He murmured, looking out the window, then looking back at him. He held the end of his tail out "I jussst wasn't exsssssspecting it. . . Did you want to...?" Harry trailed off, offering his tail to him. Louis felt his cheeks get hot.

"No, no. I just- I was just.. I just was curious." He managed out, shaking his head. Harry set his tail back down and nodded, looking out the window once more. There was another long silence. Louis opened his mouth to say something but stopped, deciding against it and just kept his focus on driving.

"We're here." Louis said as he parked. He rose an eyebrow as he heard Harry sigh in relief and all but fall out of the car as he opened the door.

"On the way back you're riding in the back of the car along the back seats." Louis called. Harry nodded, rubbing his back

"I think thatsss bessst." He agreed.

Louis only walked about ten paces into the store when Harry called out to him.

"L...Louis." The man turned and looked back at Harry. Harry was holding his tail in his hands and shivering.

"What?" Louis couldn't stop an eyeroll from showing on his face. "Are you afraid of the store or something?"

Harry frowned at that and Louis felt bad as he saw the shamed look the hybrid had.

"...The floor is...really cold. The tile." He explained. Louis looked down at the white tile on the ground of the store. He had never considered it before, because he was wearing shoes all the time, but the ground in the stores was always pretty cold and sterile. "Can..you push me in a cart?" Harrys face was red and he didn't make eye contact with Louis.

Louis sighed and said nothing. He just grabbed a cart out of the front of the store. Harry slithered into it gratefully. "Thank you."

"Don't mention it-Christ, you are heavy." Louis groaned a bit as he got the cart going. Harry frowned once more.

"Sssorry...It-it is mosssstly muscle." He defended weakly, pulling the end of his tail up to hold. Louis felt a pang in his heart as he looked at Harrys expression.

"I was just surprised." Louis shook his head, pushing Harry through the aisles until they got to the medical supplies. "Now does it have to be a heating pad specifically?" Louis asked.

Harry shrugged, looking at the various models. "I guesss not...as long assss it heats." Harry shivered a bit.

Louis found himself staring at Harry. Though he had looked at him before, Louis was just now really realizing that Harry didn't have a shirt. His torso was muscled. He had the very beginning of abs forming on his stomach and he had muscular shoulders as well. Louis found his mind slipping away from him momentarily, picturing what Harry would look like with legs....What would be between his legs-
