Louis' POV

I'm awake. It's morning, and I'm awake. I know I've been little for a while. I'm kind of in between now. Am I gonna be big today? I dunno. Deciding is hard. Maybe I should just be little. Then I don't have to do any deciding. But, I miss my family. I wanna talk to them.

I roll over and stretch, trying to think.

"Morning, Lou!"

The voice surprises me. I spin around to see Liam in the doorway.

"I heard you moving around so I thought I'd come check on you. You have a good sleep?"

"Was alright," I say, sitting up. I think I've decided to be big.

"Oh!" Now it's Liam's turn to be surprised. "I thought you were still - "

I chuckle. "So did I, but apparently not!" I pat the bed next to me. "You can still come sit like you were planning to. Just cos I'm not little doesn't mean you can't come sit close to me. We're still friends."

Liam joins me on the bed and we both make ourselves comfortable leaning against the headboard. I'm sure he has a lot he wants to talk about, the past few days have been eventful. I haven't let myself think about it yet. There's a lot to digest. I'll probably have a lot I want to talk about too.

"What kind of trouble have I gotten myself into?" I ask, not sure if I mean it as a rhetorical question or not. Liam can decide for himself.

Liam sighs. "That's a loaded question. I don't have any details on the legal side of things, I'll leave that for you to figure out with the relevant people. The fans went crazy, most of them were supporting you and saying how you were just defending yourself - "

I cut him off. "I was. Defending myself, I mean." That much I'm not changing my mind about. I didn't mean to hurt anyone, not really. But I know I kind of snapped, in a way I shouldn't have.

Liam takes a deep breath and pats my shoulder. "I know, Lou. I believe you. I promise."

"I'm sorry. For...everything." I really do feel bad about the whole mess, especially how I treated Liam when I got home.

"I know that too." Liam smiles. "Besides, all the 'trouble' you got yourself into with me has already been sorted and it's behind us now. That's the beauty of discipline."

I give a half smile and fidget with my hands a bit awkwardly.

"Did you want to talk about any of it more now, or should we have some breakfast first?"

I don't think I'm ready to actually dive deep into those thoughts, and I think Liam picked up on that. He's good like that, sometimes even knows how I'm feeling before I do. He always has been.

"Let's eat first. I might shower too, if ya don't mind."

Liam goes to the kitchen to put together something for breakfast while I shower. I take my time, just enjoying the hot water on my skin. Showers seem to be a good way for me to really solidify myself back into an adult state of mind.

Sitting across from Liam at the table, a bowl of cereal and some fruit in front of me, I hesitate. Am I actually ready to process these thoughts? What if I freak out at Liam again? No, that won't happen. I'm well rested and my head feels pretty clear.

Liam puts something on the table and slides it toward me. My phone.

"Figured you'd want this back," he says, stabbing a piece of melon with his fork and popping it into his mouth.

I shrug and push my phone off to the side. "I'll deal with all that later. I want to deal with what's in my head first."

Liam nods. "Do you want to chat, or would you rather work through it alone? Either way, I'm not going anywhere until we have a talk."
