"Do you have to get up" Louis asks as they lay awake watching the rain fall across the floor to ceiling window beside the bed

"We have to go in today baby, we have a lot to do, we're sorry" Scott says as he strokes Louis hair. Louis still laying across his chest.

"I'm to scared to ask about what happened" Louis says

"We're to scared to tell you" Harry replies

It's silent while the boys just hold each other close, before Harry is the first to get up.

"Lou, is this the master bedroom? Yours seems a lot smaller than this room" Harry asks as he stands up.

"Yeah" Louis says sheepishly

"I didn't want the big room, with the window overlooking the Forrest, it felt to open and big. I wanted to hide" Louis says and the boys hear the vulnerability in his voice

"You don't have to hide when we are around baby" Scott says as he gently kisses Louis on the head and moves to get up too

"I'm not scared when you're around" Louis admits as he sits up

"Good" Harry smirks and he kisses Louis on the lips.

"I do miss this room though" Louis says as he looks around

"Well why don't you just sleep in here with us from now on" Scott says nonchalant

"You'd want me to?" Louis asks making sure

"We sleep better with you next to us and we're in a relationship now, we would like you to be in our bed" Harry says

Louis blushes and tries to ignore the butterflies in his stomach.

"Well technically it's my bed" Louis says cheekily

Harry and Scott laugh and Harry moves towards Louis quickly and pushes him back down on the bed playfully, causing Louis to giggle

"You're cheeky" Harry smiles as he kisses Louis

"You love it" Louis says smiling cutely

Harry winks and kisses Louis nose as he gets back up.

Harry and Scott get ready for work and meet Louis downstairs, Louis is already dressed in sweats and a sweater, his white socks on his feet.

He passes Harry and Scott their coffees and sets to making his tea.

There's an elephant in the room and Louis sighs as he turns around and leans on the island bench

"Just tell me, please" Louis says

Scott and Harry both sigh

"I feel safe with you here, I can handle it" Louis says

Harry and Scott nod and agree to tell Louis

"The boy that we found last night, resembled you to a T, the killer....he wanted us to find the boy and for us to know that he's watching you" Harry says

"I don't get why though" Louis says uneasily

"He left a note on scene and the gist of it was... that he's the same person as always, that he's not a copycat and that we just haven't caught him yet" Scott says

"So it's not Stanley then" Louis confirms

"We still have to figure it out darling, that's what we're going to try and do at the office, go over the case, see what we're missing because it's something" Harry says

"Okay, how long will you be?" Louis asks a little anxiously

"We will be back by six, Max and Noah are out the front okay, they aren't going anywhere and will protect you" Scott reassures
