"But Harry" Louis whined
"No buts, eat it" He said, gesturing to the plate full of food in front of Louis
"It doesn't look nice" Louis pouted
"Just eat it" Harry said in a sing song voice
"Or what? You'll smack my bum and send me to my cell" Louis joked
"I might have to do just that" Harry smirked "Now eat up before that becomes my only option"
"I feel sick" Louis lied
"Don't lie. Eat it and you can stay here for woodwork tomorrow" Harry offered
"Bribery" Louis said in a sing song voice
"It was a deal" Harry chuckled
"Can I shower?" Louis asked hopefully
"Course you can, I sorted private showering times out with Liam yesterday. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday 1 until 2 are your showering times. Sorry I forgot to tell you that" Harry said
"You serious?" Louis' face lit up
"Yes, now eat" Harry grinned at his happiness
Louis started to eat quickly, pushing all of the chicken and vegetables to one side so he wouldn't have to eat it. He ate most of the pasta before looking up at Harry with a grin
"Done" He smiled widely
Harry raised an eyebrows
"What? I ate it" Louis pouted over dramatically
"Only a little, not even half!" Harry explained
"I don't like that bit" Louis shrugged
"Well, at least that's something"Harry nodded "I'm happy if you are"
There was a short pause and Louis hummed in agreement
"Are we friends Harry?" He asked suddenly
"Uh.. Yeah, we're friends I guess" Harry agreed
"Right.. Because I always- it doesn't matter" Louis said, quieting himself
"No go on" Harry urged
Louis hesitated, changing his original statement at the last second
"I always think of us as friends, not like you're working with me" Louis sighed
"I'm here to help you, and if through that it helps that we're friends, then we're friends" Harry said solidly
"Oh" Louis said, then faked a smile "That's good"
"Something wrong Lou?" Harry asked
"Nothing" Louis lied "I just... I just thought of some things I have to tell you"
"Go ahead, we have time" Harry smiled encouragingly
"Would the address I was living at help the case?" He asked nervously
"Holy shit Lou! You knew the address and didn't tell anyone? Are you crazy!" Harry exclaimed
"Uh yeah" Louis laughed nervously
"I'll send a forensic team out now and they can ge-"
"No! No I dont want a forensic team there! Not yet, please not yet" Louis said quickly
"Well what do you want to do?" Harry asked with a frown
"You go look, go see" Louis said slowly in thought
"I don't know what I'm looking for. I can't do forensics" Harry laughed
"No, but I know what you're looking for. Not yet though" Louis said
"What am I looking for?" Harry asked
"A camera" Louis answered
"A camera?" Harry questioned
"There was... this one camera a-and it recorded everything. It was in the corner of the basement and he... he liked to watch back on...it" Louis stuttered out, eyes closed
"Watch back on what?" Harry asked softly
"The videos" Louis' eyes stated shut
"What were they recording Louis?" Harry said, his voice was warm and the calm tone helped Louis answer
"Everything he did to me" Louis swallowed
"What kinds of things?"
"Bad things" Louis whimpered, his blue eyes began to water a little and he kept his eyes shut, trying his hrdest to block out the violent imagery
"I know he hurt you Louis, but I need to know how. And I also want to know how you got there and into that situation" Harry said
"Tomorrow, I'll tell you tomorrow" Louis promised
"I'm here all night" Harry reminded
"Your own fault" Louis chuckled, eyes still squeezed shut "Your decision"
"Indeed it was" Harry grinend "But it was for you"
"Why do it?" Louis asked, genuinely confused
"Because I care about you Louis" Harry said wholeheartedly and Louis opened his eyes
"I care about you too" Louis said, his cheeks heating up
He knew that he had nothing to offer, he was just a criminal whereas Harry was so much more. Louis had nothing to give Harry apart from his care. He couldn't help Harry in anyways like Harry could for him, and it made him feel bad
It also made him feel like he shouldn't have done what he did. He wished the he and Harry could've met under different circumstances so that they could be real friends
But they couldn't and that's just the way it was
And the world is cruel sometimes, but you have to accept it
You get what you're given and that's it, there's not changing it
"Thanks" Harry smiled, his eyes shining
And that simple thanks made Louis feel a lot better about the little amount that he could give to Harry because Harry accepted it
If only he could accept himself
