When Harry wakes up the next morning he's a bit startled by the heavy feeling on his chest. He quickly calm down as he opens his eyes and finds Louis fast asleep, arm tightly around Harrys waist. As the memory of last night starts coming back he smiles to himself. Louis is falling in love with him? again. He did really say that? he actually managed to catch Louis interest again?. What Louis ever saw in Harry he would never understand, but he would be the luckiest man on earth if he got to be with Louis again.

He lies in bed for a while just watching Louis sleep on his chest, enjoying having him close, feeling his warmth and hearing him breath. God, Harry could stay like this forever.

He strokes Louis hair carefully as to not wake him. He's so cute when he sleeps, he looks so peaceful, hair sleep tussled. He leans down and gently places a kiss on the top of Louis head before reaching for his phone on the nightstand. He's got a reply from Mary

Ms 'not boss' Mary

Harry you already have time off. Did Louis not tell you?


Harry looks at his phone confused

No? What do you mean?


Ms 'not boss' Mary

He came in a few days ago asking if you could have time off, today, tomorrow and all of next week. He even offered to pay. Thought he would have told you by now.


Harry puts his phone down, still a bit confused. He strokes Louis arm and side gently

"Lou, it's time to wake up" He whispers

"No, stay" Louis mumbles and tightens his hold around Harrys waist

"We can stay in bed for a bit, but you need to wake up" Harry smiles

"Alright, then I'm awake"

"Did you get time off for me?"

"Oh, yeah. Sorry, I forgot about that, there's been so much going on."

"No, that's okay. But why?"

"I've been meaning to ask you, I'm leaving for Glasgow tomorrow afternoon. I was wondering... Would you please come with me?" Louis looks up at him, blushing a little

"Of course I will! I'd love to!" Harry smiles wide and kisses him.


Just then Louis' phone starts vibrating on the floor on the other side of the bed. Louis sighs but pulls himself off Harry, rolling over the bed and grabbing his phone from the pocket of his pants on the floor.

"Yes?" Louis answers

"An hour?"

"Can Harry come?"

"Watch it."

"Fine..." Louis says before he hangs up


"David?" Harry asks rolling closer to Louis

"Yeah, I have to be at a meeting in an hour."

"And I take it I'm not allowed to be there?" Harry rolls his eyes

"No..."

"Are you going to be okay?" Harry pulls Louis into a hug

"Yeah, as long as you promise you won't leave because of the stunt?"

"I won't leave for anything."

"Promise?" Louis looks up at him

"I promise!" Harry leans down and kisses him
