Louis wakes from a nightmare, he looks at the clock and it reads midnight. The city lights are shining through the windows and he tries to calm down when he realises where he is. Louis hasn't had a nightmare in months, he then realises his shirt is completely soaked through with sweat.
Louis doesn't even think twice before he's getting out of bed and walking next door to Harry and Scott's room. He opens their door slowly and sees them fast asleep, he doesn't want to disturb them but he desperately wants their comfort right now.
He walks over towards Harry's side, which is closest to the door. Their room is massive, so much bigger than Louis, with floor to ceiling windows that go most of the way around the room.
"Harry" Louis whispers
Harry stirs instantly and so does Scott
"Lou?" Harry asks as he wakes up
"Darling what's happened" Scott asks concerned as he turns the side light on
"Jesus Lou, you're soaked sweetheart" Harry says as he sees Louis.
"I had a nightmare and I.....I...." Louis says as his breathing picks up.
"It's okay darling, just breathe" Scott says as he gets up and moves around to Louis side quickly.
Louis latches onto Scott as he kneels down in front of Louis.
"It's okay darling, we're here, it's okay" Scott reassures
Harry reaches out and swipes Louis sweaty fringe off his forehead.
"Let's get you changed sweetheart" Harry says and he gets up off the bed, he goes to his and Scott's wardrobe and gets out a black pyjama sweater, he brings it over
"Here Lou" Harry says gently
Louis releases Scott and they both help him take his sweaty shirt off. Louis is so small but he's toned and so tanned and Harry and Scott in any other moment would admire him.
When Louis is in the dry comfy sweater he relaxes, it smells of both Harry and Scott and Louis is so thankful. The sweater is huge on him and it falls off his delicate collarbones.
"I'm sorry" Louis says quietly
"For what sweetheart?" Scott asks
"For waking you up, I just......wanted you" Louis confesses
Harry and Scott look to each other and smile so wide
"We're so glad Louis, you have no idea" Harry says
"Come on, you can sleep with us tonight" Scott says smiling
Scott moves around to his side and Harry puts Louis in the middle of the bed, they settle down and turn the light out. Louis rests over Scott's chest and Harry spoons him from behind.
"Comfy?" Scott asks
"Yeah" Louis says relaxed
"Do you want to talk about your dream?" Harry asks carefully
Louis doesn't respond for a good minute
"My dad" Louis whispers into the dark
Harry and Scott don't say anything, they just grip Louis tightly and coax him gently back to sleep.
The next morning Louis wakes alone, the clock on Harry's nightstand reads 7am and he sighs, he has to get up for school. Louis knows Scott and Harry are already awake, they will drop him to school on their way to the hospital
Louis goes to have a shower, he's so thankful for Harry and Scott and their comfort last night, he's tired, but he managed to sleep without another nightmare
