All I've Ever Known

Chapter 30 - Louis

Fingers being brushed through the front of Louis' fringe is what pulled him out of his slumber, he kept his eyes shut for a few moments as he took in the sounds surrounding him. He could hear Harry's soft breathing next to him, birds chirping quietly outside, the sound of traffic far off in the distance, the pitter-patter of rain on the roof.

Louis allowed his eyes to open slowly, blinking the sleep out of his eyes that met his boyfriend's soft sleepy ones. Louis snuggled in further to Harry's chest, rubbing his beard on his boyfriend's chest. Harry let out a soft laugh, continuing to what could only be described as petting Louis' hair.

"G'morning" Louis mumbled from Harry's chest.

"Good morning", Harry pressed a kiss to the top of Louis' hair making him sigh contently.

"Christ you're lovely in the morning", Harry muttered in disbelief, Louis smiled and raised his head, pressing a chaste kiss to Harry's mouth.

"If I'm lovely, what does that make you?" Louis asked softly, Harry smiling at him.

"Lucky", Harry replied easily.

"We both got lucky then", Louis replied easily, "Time is it?"

"Almost 11, we slept in", Harry said, making no effort to move out of bed.

"We have time, plane doesn't leave until 3", Louis hummed, stretching his legs and feet towards the end of the bed, his lower back popping softly.

"You're such an old man", Harry teased.

"Shush, all those boxes weren't going to move themselves we're they?" Louis asked back, "Plus we should have gone to bed way earlier than we did, but someone-"

"Excuse me, you initiated it", Harry argued back, his cheeks turning a soft pink shade.

"Yeah well, so sorry that I wanted to fuck my boyfriend in our own house", Louis smirked.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever you sap", Harry laughed back at him, shifting his body so that the pair were laying side by side, their heads sharing a pillow.

Louis tangled their hands together, kissing the top of Harry's hand and resting them on his abdomen as they lay there in comfortable silence.

Louis smiled to himself, letting his eyes fall shut as he replayed the last few months over in his head. It had taken a while for the pair of them to find a house they had both wanted to live in, countless inspections were had at numerous properties but none of them had felt right . When they had both almost given up, Lottie had saved the day and texted Louis a place that had just gone on the market recently. He and Harry had immediately fallen in love with it, viewing it the next day and signing the papers a week after. They had coincidently moved in yesterday, their 6-month anniversary of being together, as it had taken time to pack all their things and even more time working out the logistics of how and when to move their stuff. Louis had begun planning for his tour in the last month, meaning he was spending longer days in the office with managers trying to find his opening acts. Harry, in turn, had started the process of writing and recording his fourth album, leaving the pair not a lot of time for moving-related activities.

Thankfully, their friends and family had pulled through and had come to help them here and there. That was until Harry had just decided to pay for a company to move all their stuff in a few days, they had officially finished moving all their boxes yesterday and had a big pizza and beer night to celebrate with their family and friends. Louis' sisters had made the trip down, as well as Harry's sister and mum. Liam, Niall and Zayn had also been around yesterday, helping to relocate boxes to their required rooms, making light work of it when that many people were pitching in. Louis got emotional many times throughout the night, wishing his mum was there as well, Anne seemed to know exactly what he needed all night though and was always up for a hug and to wipe his tears away. The pair of them had shared multiple tears when Louis had snuck her away for a few minutes to-
