"Hi, love", Louis greeted Harry as he walked into their home and wrapped his arms around Harry.

"Hi", Harry grinned. He was happy to be back home after a long day of recording. Plus, he had the weekend off and would be able to spend it with Louis.

"How was your day?" Louis asked, still not letting go of Harry.

"Boring without you", Harry replied and picked Louis up from the floor and beginning to walk. Louis let out an adorable laugh and wrapped his arms around Harry's neck and his leg as around Harry's waist.

Harry sat down on the couch with Louis in his lap. The older kissed Harry on the forehead and leaned into his bigger frame.

"I missed you, boobear", Harry said and Louis chuckled at the nickname.

"I missed you too, Hazza", Louis whispered. He pressed a few soft kisses along Harry's jawline and then leaned his head against Harry's shoulder.

"Dinner?" Harry suggested after a while of silence between the two.

"Mhm. Want to order some pizza? Or Chinese?"

"How about I cook for you?" Harry proposed.

"Well, if you don't mind, I would love that. I love your cooking, I just thought you'd be tired out after a whole day of recording."

"You're adorable. But I want you to know that I love cooking for you. I love you and I love doing things for you. It's my pleasure."

Louis grinned and pecked Harry on the lips, who got up and went into the kitchen to start on making dinner.

While he did that, Louis went into their bedroom to change. He changed into a pair of Adidas joggers and one of Harry's hoodies. When he came back down the stairs, Harry was currently making a salad and what looked like garlic bread was baking in the oven.

"Looks good, darling", Louis complimented and reached around Harry to steal a piece of cucumber. When his hand reached around again, Harry caught his wrist and turned around himself to face Louis.

"Thank you, sweetheart, but if you eat everything now, there won't be anything left for us later", Harry reprimanded playfully and pecked Louis' lips.

"Alright, I'll stop", Louis chuckled and leaned back in to give Harry one more kiss before he started setting the table.

When the garlic bread was done, Harry put it on the table, along with the salad. Then he got out a bottle of white wine and poured Louis and himself a glass.

"Hazza, this is amazing", Louis said when he had taken a few bites and Harry blushed a bit at the praise.

"Thanks", he smiled and they continued eating, talking about their days and everything and nothing.

Both of them enjoyed dinner and cuddled up on the couch afterwards. Louis ran his hands through Harry's soft curls and reached for the TV remote. He searched through a couple of channels but nothing really spiked any interest in him. He grumbled a bit at that, putting the remote back down after settling on some movie channel.

"What wrong?" Harry asked and tilted his head up to look at Louis.

"Nothing, just annoys me that there isn't anything good to watch right now", Louis said and kissed Harry's forehead.

"It's still early, Lou. There will probably be better movies later tonight. Let's just wait and see", he said and pressed a couple of kisses to Louis' cheek before settling back down, cuddled into his side.

"You're right darling. But you'll have to keep me entertained with cuddles and kisses until then", Louis said smiling and Harry laughed at that.

"I'll gladly do that. But I'm warning you, we had garlic bread for dinner", he said and Louis shrugged.

"So? We're both smelling like garlic so it doesn't matter. Besides, I love your kisses, whether you smell like garlic or not", Louis responded and pressed his lips to Harry's.

"You're sweet", Harry whispered against his lips and then reconnected them. When they pulled apart, Louis tightened his grip around Harry's waist and muzzled into his hair.

He really loved Harry's curls. They were soft and always smelled good. They, combined with everything that made Harry his Harry, have him the biggest amount of comfort possible.

So, cuddled up like they were, they stayed on the couch and watched the sunset together with some romantic comedy playing, just for some background noise.

"You know what the sky reminds me of?" Harry asked eventually.

"No, love. Tell me, though", Louis replied quietly and smiled down at Harry.

"Your pretty eyes", Harry answered and Louis smiled so wide, he feared his face might split in two.

"You're a sap", Louis said and grinned, "but that's why I love you."

"I love you too", Harry smiled and cuddled into Louis.

Later that evening, they were still cuddled up together, they had a bowl of popcorn, m&ms and a plate with some cut up fruit placed on the coffee table in front of them.

Occasionally, they fed each other some snacks and had soon started watching a movie. When the first one had ended, Halloween came on and Louis' face lit up.

Harry bit his lip, actually not wanting to watch a horror movie. He said nothing though, loving how Louis was so passionate about scary movies.

When Michael murdered his family, Harry turned away from the TV and buried his face in Louis' neck.

"Are you okay, my love?" Louis asked and pressed a soft kiss to Harry's temple.

"Mhm", Harry mumbled and carefully turned towards the TV again.

"Are you okay if we keep watching? Or do you want to watch something else?" Louis asked and Harry's heart melted at how Louis considered his feelings.

"It's fine", Harry answered and Louis hummed. Then the older reached behind Harry and grabbed the blanket which was draped over the back of their couch. He wrapped it around Harry's shoulders and tightened his hold around his boyfriend. Harry relaxed at that and practically melted into Louis' safe embrace.

~~~

Harry flinched again and Louis was quick to soothe him once more.

"I-... um, can I hold your hand?" Harry asked eventually. He had been desperately craving Louis' comfort but he didn't want to seem pathetic.

"Of course you can. You don't have to ask that, darling", Louis said and grabbed Harry's hand in his. He changed channels to some comedy show and then turned his full attention to Harry.

"I'm so sorry you were so scared, Hazza", Louis said and pulled Harry's hand to his lips.

"I'm sorry. I know how much you like to watch those movies", Harry said quietly and looked down.

"Don't apologize, Haz. That's perfectly fine. Let's go
To bed and cuddle, yeah?"

"I love you, Lou" Harry said and pressed a loving miss to Louis' lips.
