summary: Harry begins to understand his feelings towards louis.

Enjoy :)

~

Louis had been living in one of Harry's apartments for the past week. He's officially non-employed after Harry sat him down and gave him a talk about he shouldn't be treated like that.

Louis cried as he spoke, he didn't think someone would ever care for him anymore.

Harry however, never thought he would be the one caring for someone anymore, he'd gotten used to not 'worrying about anyone' he wasn't necessarily selfish, deep down he had it in him, someone just needed to get it out of him.

Today Harry decided to take time off work to bring louis shopping for new items, whatever he needed, whatever he wanted. Harry drove to the apartment and told his men to head down to the shopping centre to watch the perimeter so he'd be sure of no 'distractions'

On his way to louis, harry began to think about how in the past 2 weeks he went from being a heartless boss, to someone who cared so much about a small boy who he'd just met. Harry didn't bring his gun, he didn't want to scare him. But he did have a small knife stashed in his pocket just in case of emergency.

Harry arrived at (his) Louis apartment and texted him to notify him he's outside. Getting a smiley face in response, harry sent a simple purple heart, his heart racing at the small move.

Not minutes later, Louis walked out the doors and got into Harry's car, a bright smile on his face as he sighed happily. "so how are you today?" Harry didn't need to hesitate to ask, he knew he would get a good answer. "I had the best sleep ever, your bed is just so.. comfortabl, i could never thank you enough Mr. styles"

Harry laughed at that. "You can call me harry" Louis eyes lit up "what?" He looked over at harry who laughed at his reaction. "that's my name" He smiled wide. Louis didn't know this, but it was a big step, he never let people call him harry, not many people even knew his first name. "But the others called you Mr.Styles?"

Harry smiles at him "you're special" he turns around and starts the car, gripping the steering wheel and turned to look at him "i just know it" He mumbled to himself.

Louis could only look down at his lap blushing, smiling to himself.

They arrived at the shopping centre and made way to buy louis some simple clothes. "I brought money, please let me pay." Louis looked up at Harry with pleading eyes, a pout on his lips. Harry furrowed his eyebrows and frowned but he looked back at louis and he couldn't help but clench his jaw and nod.

Louis gave him a bright smile, he walked over to the jeans and went for a simple black skinny, ripped style, looking through them for his size.

Louis grabbed one, his face lightened up as he looked at the price. "I can get them!" He exclaimed-mostly to himself- Louis looked up at harry, his face full of happiness, before turning to walk to the pay area.

"is that it?" Hare said while catching up to him.

Louis shrugged his shoulders. "i suppose so" "do you not need anything else?" Louis shook his head and lifted the pair of jeans up "these are so worth it"

Harry didn't push it. "Okay" He sighed out "but at least let me buy you food after" He insisted. Louis thought for a moment, he looked up a harry squinting his eyes in the most adorable way. "deal."

"harry" Louis whispered in a small voice, they were making their way to a small restaurant on the other said of the centre. "yeah" Harry said.
