When Harry turns forty-six, Michelle is off at boarding school in Scotland, so it's just the boys. Which makes it a perfect day for a football game and dinner at a local pub, nothing complicated.

However, Louis' movie has just premiered a few weeks before, so the paps are at an all time high, rivaling that of their glory days in One Direction, and Zach moans and whines the whole day about not being able to enjoy the game or dinner thanks to the flashing camera lights that give him a headache.

Zach's complaining wears Harry down, so by the time they finally return home, Harry himself isn't in the greatest of moods. Louis sends Zach upstairs for a nap, or at least some quiet time, and leads Harry by the hand into the bedroom where he closes the door and makes use of their couple of hours of silence while Zach slept on obliviously upstairs.

On his forty-sixth birthday, Harry wishes for Zach to just hurry up and turn twelve, so Harry and Louis can send him to school and have more of that treasured free time.
