"Harry," Louis shook Harry's shoulder gently, "Wake up, love."
Harry stirred, but he continued to sleep like a rock. Louis smiled fondly, thinking how licky he was to call this bafoon his, but continued to shake him, poke him, stroke his hair, and just about anything he could do that would keep Harry stirring in the early morning hours.
"Harry, we need to get ready for the ship to Corona!"
"What time is it?" Harry mumbled before burrying himself further into the blankets and hiding his face in the pillow.
"Sunrise."
"The ship doesn't leave till noon, Lou."
"What?"
Harry's words were muffled due to the fabric he was choking on, and the Prince couldn't understand one bit of the sentence he slurred out in his sleep deprived state.
"The ship doesn't leave till noon. Everything is already packed and ready to be loaded onto the ship, so can't we sleep in today?" Harry sat up, jostling around his bed hair.
"To be quite honest, the reason I'm waking you up so early is because I didn't sleep at all last night," Louis starred out the window, "I just wanted some company."
"Well why didn't you just say that?" Harry grabbed Louis' hand, flinching at how cold they were.
He was unsure if Louis really wanted company, or if his magic was flaring up again and he was afriad. If the Prince was afriad, he surely wouldn't admit it, but Harry knew him well enough to pin point what was really bothering him. That would explain quite well why he was unable to sleep the previous night.
"Let's go get breakfast," Louis pulled his hand away and began making his way towards Harry's door.
"Louis?" Harry beckoned.
"Yes, Harry?"
"I love you."
Louis smiled a plastic smile, "And I you."

"Do you have everything you need?" Louis asked Harry, kissing his cheek.
His skin is getting colder and colder by the hour. Harry worried, shivering at the impact.
"Hold on, let me run to my room and get... and extra pair of socks."
Harry ran to his room, retrieving the gloves he stole from the Queen, and shoving them into his coat pocket quickly. He feared Louis was closing down once more, and he wanted to be safe, the last thing he wanted was for Louis to be hunted down the way his mother was all those years ago. He ran back as fast as he could, slipping his hand into Louis' hand as Liam and Zayn emerged from the castle .
"Good afternoon!" Liam exclaimed cheerfully.
"Is it?" Louis said under his breath.
"Yes it is," Harry said through gritted teeth, elbowing his lover in the ribs, "How did you two sleep? Are you excited for this trip?"
"I slept like a baby," Zayn laughed, Liam rolling his eyes in the backgroung.
"We're extremely excited, we haven't seen Rapunzel and Eugene in way too long!" Liam observed.
"I can't believe you're friends with them," Harry gawked, his eyes full of wonder.
Louis couldn't stand Liam and Zayn, but he couldn't deny the joy they brought Harry when they were around. He could hardly contain his grin when Harry acted so adorable.
