"Good morning, Haz," he smiled as he gently wrapped his arms around the younger's waist from behind, and Harry turned away from his locker and smiled at Louis, "Hi, Lou," Annie wagged her tail, also happy to see Louis again. "How are you?" Harry giggled softly, "I'm good, what about you?" Louis smiled, "Great, now that I get to see you again," the green-eyed boy blushed and looked away.

The older pecked his cheek, "You ready to get to class?" Harry nodded and shut his locker, Louis grabbed his hand and laced their fingers together as they walked. They were almost to their class when Harry was shoved, making him trip and fall, the two kids were laughing at Harry.

"And you're a fag too," Louis yanked the boy by his collar and punched him in the nose, "You should never call anyone that," he punched him again and pushed him to the side. Another kid grabbed Annie by her harness and pulled her away from Harry, "BOYS!" a teacher shouted.

"A-Annie!" the younger cried, Louis, punched the other kid and took Annie away from him, bringing her back to Harry. "Connor, Kasen, Office now!" she yelled, Louis sat next to Harry, "It's okay, Annie is right here, I'm right here, you're okay," the green-eyed boy was shaking, Annie cuddled with him, helping him calm down.

Their teacher walked over to them, "Louis, What happened?" Louis sighed, "Harry and I were walking to class and they saw him and me holding hands. Connor pushed him to the ground and called him the 'F' slur, so I punched him, twice. Kasen pulled Annie away from Harry by her harness, so I punched him and brought Annie back to him. Sorry, I knew I shouldn't have punched them, but I couldn't stop it, I wasn't thinking," 

The teacher softly smiled at him, "Thank you for apologizing, I know you were trying to do the right thing, but next time, please not punching, alright?" Louis nodded. The teacher stood up, "You two can head to the office when you're ready," Louis nodded and their teacher walked back to her classroom.

The blue-eyed boy moved a bit closer to Harry, he was slowly calming down, "Haz, look at me, love," Harry looked at him with teary eyes and tear-stained cheeks. Louis kissed his forehead, "It's going to be okay... Do you want to go home?" the younger nodded, he kissed the boy's forehead again, "Alright, let's go to the office, they'll call your mum and then she can come and pick you up,"

"I-I want you t-to come w-with me," he breathed out shakily, "To your house?" Harry nodded, "I don't want t-to be a-alone," Louis kissed his temple. "Alright, you ready to walk to the office?" Harry nodded, and Louis held his hands out for the younger once he stood up, letting the green-eyed boy grab them before pulling him up.

The older gently held his waist with one hand while the other went to his cheek, wiping his tears with the pad of his thumb. "It's gonna be alright, love, I promise," he pressed a kiss to Harry's forehead before wrapping him in a tight hug. After a minute, Louis pulled away slightly, "Let's start walking, alright?" Harry nodded, and Louis kept a gentle hand around the younger's waist as they walked to the office.

Once they were in the office, Harry sat on one of the chairs, and Annie rested her head on his lap. Louis talked to one of the staff members that were in the office, he nodded and picked up the phone to call Harry's mom, Louis sat next to the younger and took out his phone to text his mom.

After ten minutes, Anne came rushing into the office, "Oh Harry," he murmured as she hugged him tightly. She gave Louis a hug to say thank you, "Come on you two, let's go," Louis stood up and waited for Harry to stand up before lacing their hands together.

Once they were back at Harry's place the younger ran up to his room and jumped onto his bed, Annie was by his side as he cried. Louis walked in and frowned, "Can I lay on the bed with you?" Harry nodded, Louis, climbed on the bed and laid down on his side, facing the green-eyed boy. 

"Hazza," Harry looked up at him, "You're okay, I promise," he whispered before connecting their lips in a sweet kiss. Harry pressed his face into Louis' chest, "I've got you, love," the older rubbed his hand up and down the green-eyed boy's back gently, Harry was just sniffling now as he cuddled into Louis more.

After about two hours, Anne softly knocked on the door, "I made some cookies for you two, Louis did you talk to your mother?" Louis nodded, "I did, she said I was fine... Harry fell asleep a bit ago," he told her in a hushed tone. She smiled at them, "Alright, and Louis, thank you for helping him today, You must care about him a lot, hm?" 

Louis blushed with a nod, "Yeah, I do," he smiled at Harry who was sleeping in his arms, "I really do," Anne's smile widened, "I can tell he cares a lot about you too," his blush darkened as his smile became more prominent. "I'll wake him up in a bit," Anne nodded and walked away.

Louis kissed the younger's head and pulled him closer, he couldn't help but gently comb his fingers through Harry's curls, Annie was at their feet with her head resting on Harry's calves.

After an hour, Harry started moving around before sitting up quickly, "Hey, hey, what's wrong?" Louis asked him softly, "Sorry, just a nightmare, I'm fine, I get it all the time," Louis laid him back down, "Do you wanna tell me about it?" he asked. The younger shook his head, "I'll be fine," Louis kissed his forehead, "Alright... Earlier your mum came in and told me she baked some cookies and they would be downstairs for when you woke up, do you wanna go have some cookies?"

Harry nodded with a soft smile, Louis stood up and held his hand out for the green-eyed boy. Once the younger was standing, the blue-eyed boy held his waist gently, "How are you feeling, Haz?" the boy smiled slightly, "Better, but I'm tired... thank you for helping me today, it means a lot,"

Louis pressed their foreheads together, "You're welcome, and if you ever need me, I'm only a call away," Harry blushed and nodded. "Can I kiss you?" Harry nodded again with a smile, Louis brushed his thumb over his cheekbone before connecting their lips. When Louis pulled away he gently kissed the green-eyed boy's nose, making him blush even darker, "Let's go get some cookies shall we?" Harry giggled and nodded.

Once they got to the kitchen they both grabbed a few cookies, Harry noticed a note from his mom on the counter, she had to leave for work. "Lou, do you wanna watch a movie?" Louis nodded, "Sure love, what movie?" 

"Since it's almost Halloween do you wanna watch Halloweentown?" Louis smiled, "That's one of my favorite movies," Harry giggled, "Me too," Louis kissed his cheek and grabbed his hand before pulling him to the couch. Annie followed them and laid down on her dog bed.

Once they were done with their cookies Harry laid his head on Louis' shoulder, Louis smiled and turned so Harry was laying on his chest. The green-eyed boy blushed softly as he listened to his calm heartbeat, Louis wrapped his arms around the younger's waist and kissed his forehead.
