Secrets

Part 6

Louis settles on watching Friends and Drew brings him out a plate of fruit and crackers and smiles

"We love Friends, we watch it all the time" Drew says as he sits next to Louis, he hands him the plate and a bottle of water

"Yeah, it's one of my favourites, I watch it when I'm feeling alone" Louis admits and then realises what he just said

"I mean, not that I'm alone, just....Nevermind" he says awkwardly

"No it's okay Lou, I get it" Drew says sympathetically

Lois just half smiles

"Finish that plate and I'll get you some pain relief okay" Drew says

"The whole plate?" Louis asks

"There's an apple, cheese and a few crackers kiddo, I think you can manage that don't you" Drew says

Louis sighs. Living with his dad, Louis has had to fend for himself a lot and when you get beaten up and abused on the daily, food isn't on the top of the priority list.

Louis doesn't say anything, just starts eating the cut up apple quietly, he turns his attention to Friends and rests back on the cushions

Drew watches Louis intently for a little while, he's worried about his little brother, he's terribly thin and obviously has issues around portions of food. He makes a mental note to keep an eye on how much food Louis consumes in a day.

Louis finishes two slices of apple and a piece of cubed cheese when Harry and Scott come out of their room. They are both freshly showered, in sweats and no shirts, Louis nearly chokes on his food.

He cannot deny how attractive Scott and Harry are, or how overly nice they are to him. He gets butterfly's around them and for some reason is really looking forward to spending time with them this week.

Louis knows he has to go back to hell next week so he's trying to push those thoughts away and enjoy the short time he has without worrying about being abused.

"Hiya Lou!" Scott says excitedly when he sees Louis on the couch

"How are you feeling?" Harry asks happily

"Hi, I'm fine" Louis says shyly.

He didn't realise Scott and Harry had so many tattoos, they are so muscly, tanned and hot. Harry has the most gorgeous green eyes and Scott's are such a deep grey, they are beautiful.

"I'm trying to get him to eat so he can have some pain relief, he's not very obliging" Drew smiles

"Mmmm well you need to eat Lou, so your body can recover" Scott says as he and Harry sit down next to Louis.

"I...know I am I just....I don't really eat much I guess" Louis says shyly

"That's okay, whatever you can stomach hey" Scott says

Drew is smirking watching Harry and Scott with Louis, he really never sees them like this with anyone. Harry and Scott are two of the most wonderful, amazing humans you'll meet when you get to know them and knowing Louis hasn't even been in their lives for two days makes him so happy that they are themselves around him. The boys were worried Harry and Scott wouldn't let Louis in, but seeing them together it's like they've known each other for years  and Drew couldn't be happier

"I'm just going for a shower if that's okay" Drew then says, wanting to freshen up a little

"Of course, we will look after Louis" Harry smiles

"His pain relief is in the kitchen" Drew smiles

"We've got him" Scott says and he winks at Drew

Drew smiles knowingly and leaves to have a shower

"Friends huh? One of our favourites!" Harry says

"Um yeah, you can change the channel though I'm not fussed on what we watch or anything" Louis says as he winces as he tries to get comfortable

"Are you sore?" Scott asks worriedly

"Yeah, I mean I'm fine but yeah" Louis says quietly

"Just eat two more crackers and a piece of cheese and we can give you some pain killers okay" Scott says

Louis nods and he manages it. Harry grabs the pain relief and hands it to Louis who takes it gratefully

They both sit down next to Louis, who by the time the pain killers have kicked in has made himself comfortable leaning against Harry's arm. Harry lifts his arm up and let's Louis lie across his chest as he falls asleep in Harry's arms.

"Jealous?" Harry smirks at Scott when Louis is off.

"Oh shut up" Scott chuckles

The boys both smile and look at Louis fondly, they really have become soft for him and they really don't care at all.
