Mess

12.

The next day, the boys decided to visit Louis and Harry at their flat, and if Louis had known that, it wouldn't have happened. Unfortunately, Harry didn't know either.

As Louis sat on the couch with a pink soft blanket around him, his blank eyes observed the living room whilst Harry held him in his arms, occasionally pressing his lips on his boyfriend's cute nose. They were just sitting there on the sofa, enjoying the calm moment when suddenly loud knocks were heard from outside.

Louis whined instantly, snuggling into Harry's side. "Don't, please. I can't take visitors right now. Gosh, Harry, I feel sick," he mumbled, breathing heavily.

Harry squeezed him in comfort, rubbing his hand up and down his back. "Shh, it's going to be okay. I'll not open the door, baby," he said, smiling softly.

It didn't even take one second before even louder knocks were heard and a familiar loud voice shouting 'open the door, bitches'.

"The boys are here..." Harry whispered, feeling how tense Louis became in his arms. "Should I-"

"Please, baby, no," Louis shook his head. "No, no..."

It didn't matter anyway. The spare key in the plant pot in front of the door was used by a very happy Niall who came running towards them with a smile. Louis wished he was drowning.

Zayn and Liam arrived soon after him with two boxes of pizza and a sick pack of alcohol in their hands.

"MOVIE NIGHT!" Zayn shouted, cheering. He opened one of the boxes, grabbing a slice of the pepperoni pizza. "Up for it, lovebirds?!"

"We're definitely going to see San Andreas! I've been dying to see that movie for some time!" Liam said, jumping on the couch. "Or maybe Jurassic World?"

Niall laughed, shaking his head in disagreement. "No way! I want to see Insidious. The new one that just came out."

Zayn rolled his eyes, chewing his pizza slice with his mouth open. "Guys! We're totally seeing Jurassic World!"

As they were arguing, Louis' whole body was shaking like he was out in the freezing cold, obviously causing Harry to worry even more than possible. Louis just couldn't take it anymore. Their voices were too loud, Zayn's loud chewing was annoying, Niall's laughter felt like small needles were pressing against his backand Liam's jumps on the sofa made him so close to punch himself. Seriously, he wan pretty sure there was a ticking bomb inside him... just ready to explode at the right moment.

"Lou, what do you think?"

Niall's question was easy to respond to. It didn't need much effort, meaning a few words would be enough. It sucked that he couldn't even open his mouth because of his fear of suddenly breaking down in front of his best mates. Therefore, he couldn't answer the question.

"Lou?"

Niall's eyesbrows furrowed in confusion, whilst Liam stopped jumping on the couch to instead sit down after seeing Louis' quiet mood. Harry kissed his forehead, afterwards preppering kisses all over his face to show his love.

"He's alright," Harry said to them, smiling softly when Louis snuggled closer to him as a small whine left his mouth. "Just a bit tired."

Zayn shook his head, a frown on his lips. "Are you sure, Haz? Lately, he has been acting a bit... off."

"I'm right here, you know," Louis grumbled, rolling his eyes. Groaning, he hid his face in Harry's chest with tears in his eyes. "Leave me alone."

Liam didn't see anything serious about this situation, and that was probably why he bursted out laughing. "Gosh, Louis, you must be on your period."

Niall sighed loudly, sitting down next to Liam. "True. Louis has these periods where he is always mad at everything in the world. Harry knows about those, of course."

Harry made a sound of disagreement, not liking how they were talking about this like it was some kind of joke. He knew he was the only one who now knew those 'periods' were times Louis felt really lost and depressed, but it was impossible to not get mad at what they were saying. It was just wrong.

"Anyways, let's start Jurassic World!" Zayn shouted, running to the kitchen to get Harry's laptop for the film searching.

"No!" Niall groaned loudly, "I fucking hate you!"

As they were play fighting... or fighting (who knew?), Louis was sobbing quitely, too busy with wiping away his tears by using Harry's wonderful YSL shirt . "I want to die," he whispered, squeezing his eyes shut.

"Baby boy," Harry sighed sadly, kissing Louis' lips softly, "I never want you to say that again. Please, don't. I'm here, shh. You're alright. No one is going to hurt you."

Louis shook his head frantically, but managed to keep his cries quiet so they were not loud enough for the other boys to hear. "S-Sorry-"

"It's okay," Harry whispered, rubbing their noses together with a soft smile.

Liam looked at them, and raised one of his eyebrows when he saw Harry giving Louis kisses on his face and neck. Niall and Zayn did the same after they were done setting the movie up on the TV.

"Uh? Boys?" Zayn questioned, chuckling when Harry glanced at him with a glare. "Please do this another time. Enough PDA for the month."

Niall grimaced. "Yeah, totally. What's up? You two have been so clingy lately."

Louis moved his head from Harry's chest to face the TV instead, rolling his eyes. "It's our relationship. It's none of your business, dicks."

Harry laughed as he put a finger on Louis' lips, acting like he was scolding him for saying a bad word. "Shh, baby."

In response, Louis just smiled softly and brought his head back down to Harry's chest again, deciding to spend some minutes listening to his boyfriend's heartbeats. He couldn't really explain why, but it was soothing somehow. Just feeling Harry's heart alive and beating just made him calm down and feel some kind of... relief.

"I'm so glad you're alive," Louis whispered to himself, feeling his own heart with his hand. "I'm so glad your heart is beating and you're here with the love of your life."

Harry knew he wasn't supposed to hear what Louis was whispering in such a gentle tone, but he did. He did hear what his boyfriend said, and the only thing that could describe how he was feeling right now was the little box in his pocket. The little box that was taking care of a beautiful diamond ring for his even more beautiful future fiance.

He was pretty sure he was going to cry because of those sweet words coming from his boyfriend's mouth, so instead of letting the tears fall, he began caressing Louis' head in adoration and love.
