Louis returned a few minutes later looking even more ill. He was sweating profusely and had a pallid complexion.

Louis paid the bill and then they started walking towards their car. Louis was so exhausted and tired, he felt like he was going to pass out. But Harry caught him just in time. "Hey, take it easy" Harry said as he picked up Louis and carried him to their car. He was almost asleep, so he didn't put up any resistance.

Harry gently placed Louis in the car and buckled him up. He then got into the driver's seat and started the engine. He drove them home and carried Louis to their bed. Usually it was Louis who drove but right now that wasn't an option.

Harry took off Louis's clothes and then tucked him in and kissed his forehead. "I love you, sweetie" he whispered before turning off the light and leaving the room. Harry made himself a cup of tea, thinking to himself 'Now it's finally my turn to take care of him'.

Harry drank the whole cup pretty quickly and then went back to their bedroom. He took off his clothes and got into bed, cuddling up with Louis.

Louis stirred a little bit and then opened his eyes. "Hey" he said sleepily, kissing Harry on the cheek. "Hi Lou" Harry replied, stroking Louis's back. They lay there for a while before finally falling asleep in each other's arms.

The following morning, Harry's phone began to ring, stirring both him and his Louis from sleep. Rubbing his eyes groggily, Harry reached for the device to see that Zayn was calling. "Hey, where are ya? You and Louis were supposed to be at the studio an hour ago" Zayn said. Harry's eyes widened when he saw the time on his phone. "OH SHIT, we're coming now" Harry said as he jumped out of bed and started getting ready.

Harry poked Louis awake, who was half asleep, "Louis, we're late!". "mmhmmm" Louis mumbled. Harry felt his forehead and quickly pulled his hand away because it was so warm. "Oh you're definitely staying in bed" Harry said.

"I'm going to go to work now, but I'll be right back home to take care of you, ok?" Harry said as he tenderly kissed Louis on the forehead.

Harry didn't really want Louis to be alone right now but he was going to try to be as quick as possible. He knew the management wouldn't let him sit out if he wasn't sick himself.

Louis slept soundly through the entire time Harry was gone. When Harry returned, he found Louis awake and looking a little better.

"How are you feeling?" Harry asked as he sat on the edge of the bed. "I think I'm feeling a bit better...though I have a slight headache" Louis replied. "I brought you some fever reducers, they might help a bit" Harry said as he handed over a glass of water and the pills to Louis. Louis slowly sat up a little and took the pills.

"Thanks Haz, sorry I ruined our date yesterday" Louis said as he swallowed the pills. Gently taking Louis's face in his hands, Harry turned him to look at himself and said, "Hey Louis, look at me, you didn't ruin anything okay? you should just have told you didn't feel well so we could have gone another day". Louis wrapped his arms around Harry and responded, "I'm sorry, I just really wanted to go out with you and I had already planned everything". Harry hugged Louis back and said, "It's okay Lou, just tell me next time ok? Now get some rest and feel better soon".

Louis nodded and laid back down. Harry went downstairs to prepare some tea for his sick fiancé. He decided to make himself a cup as well since he was already making some.

Harry went back upstairs and found Louis fast asleep. He set the tea on Louis' bedside table and got into bed with him, spooning him from behind, falling asleep afterwards.

Both of them woke up an hour later. "That was a great little nap," Harry said as he stretched. "How are you feeling, Boo?" he added. "I'm feeling much better, thank you for taking care of me" Louis replied with a smile."Always. I actually feel good that I finally get to step up and take care of you taking care of me" Harry said.

They embraced each other for a few minutes and then decided that they couldn't spend the entire day in bed; Louis felt better so he could get up to do some things. Louis promised Harry that he would speak up if he started feeling unwell again.

"Maybe we should tidy up a bit" Harry suggested. Their house was usually clean, but it had started to become quite cluttered. Louis nodded in agreement. "Let me know if you start feeling worse again" Harry said as he handed a sponge to Louis and took the mop himself. "or if you just want to do something else" He added.

Harry began mopping the floor while Louis cleaned the kitchen counters. They put on some music and actually had a really fun time. "Hey look at this!" Harry said as he did a funny pirouette with the mop, making Louis chuckle. "You're extraordinarily skilled Harry" Louis said, with a hint of irony. They continued cleaning, putting things back in their proper places and putting dirty laundry in the washing machine.

The floor was still slippery after Harry had mopped. He was eager to show Louis his amazing dance moves. As Harry attempted some of them, he lost his balance and fell hard to the ground making a loud thud. Louis noticed it and tried to catch him but wasn't quick enough.

Harry was lying on the floor, completely motionless with his eyes open. "Oh shit, shit, shit, Harry? can you hear me?" Louis said as he kneeled next to him. Harry didn't respond. Louis leaned in close to Harry's nose to see if he was still breathing. Luckily, he was.

Louis observed Harry stirring awake for a moment before he shut his eyes tightly and started convulsing uncontrollably. Harry's body was wracked with seizures, and Louis could only watch helplessly.

Louis rushed to grab a pillow from the couch, placed it under Harry's head and positioned him on his side. He checked his watch and saw that only one minute had passed, but Harry was already slowing down.

Louis let out a breath he didn't know he was holding. He gently brushed his thumb over Harry's cheek and waited for him to open his eyes. A few seconds later Harry's eyes slowly fluttered open.

"Hey baby, you did really great, you had a seizure" Louis told him softly. "A-...again? I took m-..my meds" Harry said, finding it a bit hard to form words. "Yeah...you took quite a fall. Are you hurt anywhere?" Louis said. Harry shook his head a bit and said "h'dache" weakly. "Okay, just stay here for a bit and I'll go get some painkillers" Louis said as he stood up and went to fetch some pills for Harry.

He soon returned and assisted Harry in taking the medication. "Let's get you to the couch, okay?" Louis said softly. Harry nodded weakly and attempted to stand but couldn't muster the strength.
