The Red King (L.S. AU) BoyxBoy (ON HIATUS)

Chapter 2

~Louis' POV~

I kick the small stone across the pebble street as carriages and horses stroll across it.

"Louis! Mum says she needs you." A small voice cries.

I smile and swoop the little one up into my arms.

"Danny you're getting so big and strong." I coo at my little brother kissing his cheek.

"Lou Lou! Set me down!" Danny giggles wiggling in my arms.

I set him down with one last kiss on the cheek and walk inside our tiny cottage.

"Louis dear is that you?" I hear her soft voice call out.

I walk into the main room and see her with tear stains streaking her pale face.

"Mum! Are you okay?" I ask rushing to her side.

She sniffles and shakes her head.

"Boo, we're out of money. We don't have any more food or cloth. Our garden has died and I don't know what to do." She says as she busts into another fit of hysterics.

"Mum, please don't cry. I'll find a way to fix this. Please don't fret." I say as I told her close to me.

She sniffles and looks at me with tear filled eyes.

"I love you so much baby boy." She smiles.

"I love you and Danny more than you'll ever know." I whisper into her hair.

************
I walk into market in my darkest clothes. I look around and see people gossiping about Prince Harry. I must admit, he is dreamy.

I spot the stand with fruits and cloth and slowly approach it. It has a few people standing around and looking at the items it offers and I smile. This will make it easier to get away without notice.

I grab a piece of cloth and stuff a few oranges inside and start rushing away.

"Guards! Guards! There's a thief!" A woman screams.

Oh my god. This isn't going to end well.

Men rush after me as I run through the streets and dodge carriages.

A man tackles me to the ground and I look up almost in tears.

As he pulls out his voice I hear another man.

"Come on now is that all you got! Why haven't you stabbed him already?" He yells.

***********

He wants me to stay for dinner?

Mum and Danny must be worried sick. I need to get home to them.

"S-sir." I manage to stutter out. He looks back at me with a glare on his face.

"Don't stutter. It's a sign of weakness." He grumbles.
