Stay, please! - {Larry Stylinson}

♥ Isolation ♥

Louis noticed the sad look on Harry's face. "What's wrong, baby?" Louis asked. "I just still don't know how to cope with this, it's like a nightmare that won't stop..." Harry explained tears rolling down his cheeks.

Louis felt really terrible for Harry. He knew that the diagnosis of epilepsy would be tough for him, but he didn't realize it would affect him this much. He hugged Harry tightly and kissed the top of his head. "It's okay, love. I'm here for you, we'll get through this together" Louis said.

Harry nodded and took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. Louis rubbed his back in a soothing manner and they continued watching the movie.

A few hours later, they were both fast asleep in each others arms. Louis had been there for Harry through everything and he knew that he would always be there for him.

The next morning arrived and Louis was the first to wake up. He took a look at his fiancé who was peacefully sleeping next to him. He couldn't help but smile at the sight and he gently kissed Harry on the forehead.

"I love you" Louis whispered before getting up to start making breakfast. He decided to make breakfast in bed for Harry, hoping it would make him happy.

Louis made two sandwiches in the shape of hearts and took some chocolate pudding. He then put them on a tray with some orange juice. He went back up to the bedroom. "Good morning babe" Louis said as he walked in, the tray in his hands.

Harry woke up and rubbed his eyes. "Morning, Lou," he said. Louis placed the tray on Harry's night stand and then got back into bed next to him. "I prepared some breakfast for you, love" Louis said sweetly. "I see that, thank you very much" Harry said smiling, giving Louis a small kiss.

Even though the breakfast was essentially made for Harry, he insisted on sharing it. So they had a really nice time eating breakfast together in bed and chatting.

Louis was sitting on the couch watching something on the tv and Harry in his arms, scrolling his twitter feed.

Harry felt strange, he wanted to tell Louis but couldn't. One minute Harry was having a great time chatting and laughing, the next he was staring off into space like he was in a daydream. His phone fell of his hand. "Harry?" Louis said cautiously. Harry wasn't reacting or moving.

Harry came back to the world 15 seconds later. "Are you all right?" Louis asked. "I- I think so...what h-? I-" Harry said, confused. "It's okay, I think you just had an absence seizure. It's all right" Louis said soothingly.

Harry didn't say anything, he avoided eye contact with Louis. He didn't want Louis to see the sadness in his eyes.

"Don't you have the meeting today?" Harry said, trying to change the subject. Louis nodded, "Yeah, I should probably go. Are you going to be all right or do you want me to stay at home and skip it?".

Harry forced a smile, "I'll be fine". He watched as Louis walked out the door before laying back on the couch. He let out a sigh and buried his head in his hands. He was so scared, this was all so new to him. Will he ever be normal again? Harry thought.

He then remembered that he now had to take pills every day, so he got up and walked to the medicine cabinet to take his meds. After a brief moment of staring at the medication container, Harry decided to sit down and read the 'side effects' section from the label on the jar.

"Feeling tired, drowsy or agitated (nervous or jumpy), headaches, nausea, shaking and tremors, hypersensitivity, hair loss, weight gain..." After reading the text, Harry muttered "great". He thought it would be a good idea to not take the meds, he was too scared of the side effects.

He walked up to his room and closed the door. Harry took a quick look at his phone and saw that he again had missed calls and texts. "Hey buddy, want to meet up tomorrow?" - a text from Liam. "How are you doing?" - Zayn's message. "We miss you man" - from Niall.

Harry was pleased to see that they cared about him, but he was feeling really down at the moment. He decided to reply and tell them that he's tired but appreciate that they're thinking of him.

Then he called Louis, who had called him several times. "Hey, you alright?, I called you like 28 times" Louis said exaggerating a little. "Sorry" Harry said quietly. "Hey, sweetheart, is everything okay?" Louis asked anxiously. "Yeah" Harry responded. "I just wanted to say that I'm on my way home now" Louis said. "Okay" Harry said. "Love you bye", "love you".

Louis was concerned, Harry's responses were unusually brief and he didn't sound like himself. When Louis got home, he found Harry in the kitchen with a glass of water. He was pale and his eyes were bloodshot. "Harry, what's wrong? are you crying?".

"No" Harry said turning away from Louis. Louis knew he was lying, and asked "Harry?" hoping to get a different answer. "I just... I feel so lost. I know you're here and I have support from friends and family, but I just...don't know how to live with this" Harry admitted, letting tears escape.

Louis wrapped his arms around Harry, letting him cry into his shoulder. Louis felt terrible that he had nothing to say. He didn't know how to make Harry feel better. They stayed like that for a few minutes before Harry pulled away and wiped his eyes.

"Thanks Lou, I love you" he whispered. Louis gave Harry a small smile and said "I love you too, babe. I'll always be here for you, you know that". Harry nodded.

Harry had been in their room since Louis came back from his meeting, and all day Louis had been trying to figure out how to make Harry happier again. Louis had already tried suggesting many things, such as talking, suggesting movies, playing games, or going out with friends.

But nothing was working, and Louis was starting to feel really helpless. It suddenly dawned on him that he needed to get Harry to do his favourite things again, like cooking or baking. He did some preparation and went back to Harry.

"Hey, Hazzy" Louis said softly as he entered the bedroom. Harry looked up from his book and smiled a little at Louis. "Hey". "You know what?" Louis said excitedly, "what?" Harry said. "Would you mind if we went down to the kitchen for a bit?" Louis asked softly.

Harry looked a little confused at the request but nodded. "Sure". They got up and Louis took Harry's hand as they walked out of the room and down to the kitchen.

Louis had scattered baking ingredients around the kitchen island. "I thought we could bake cookies together" Louis said with a smile, gesturing to the array of ingredients on the counter: flour, sugar, eggs, chocolate chips and butter.

Harry felt a sense of joy when he saw the kitchen, something he hadn't experienced in a while. It made him smile. "Have I ever told you how much I love you" harry said. "Aww there's that smile I've been missing, I love you too Hazza".

They started baking and made funny shaped cookies. Louis was overjoyed to see Harry smiling and being himself again. "Here, lick it" Louis said as he shoved the whisp in Harry's face, which made them chuckle. "No, I would rather lick you" Harry said with a smirk, "oh you're getting horny there" Louis joked.

Harry put the cookies in the oven and grabbed Louis from his waist, pulling him closer. "Yes I am" Harry said playfully before kissing Louis on the lips passionately.

A while later the oven beeped. "They're ready!" Louis said as he openend the oven, nearly burning himself, making harry chuckle.

All this made Harry forget all his blues for a while. Harry also thought better of the medicine and took them later this day. Harry was so happy to have Louis in his life, he always knew how to make him feel better.

"I don't know what I would do without you Lou." Harry said as he hugged Louis. Louis chuckled and replied "I'm not going anywhere Haz, I promise" .

They sat down on the couch and decided to eat the cookies themselves. They did though save a few for the other boys.

"Hey, Liam asked if we wanna go bowling with them tomorrow, wanna go?" Louis asked.
