Louis woke up again sometime later in the middle of the night. He jumped over Harry, and sat in a chair that sat in front of the window.

He sat there staring out of the window, until he heard whimpering.

He turned towards Harry.

Harry was feeling around the bed, looking for Louis. When he didn't feel him, he curled up into a little ball and staring whimpering and crying in his sleep.

Louis didn't know if this was really funny or really sad.

He crawled back into bed.
"Kitten, it's okay. I'm right here." He kissed the top of his head.

Harry hadn't woken up yet, but when he felt and heard Louis, he calmed down and scooted closer to Louis.

Louis chuckled and fell back asleep.

When Louis woke up again, it was because of Harry.

"Louis, babe. It's time to get up. You have to go eat breakfast with the girls. Come on, get up and brush your teeth. I'm still your maid, you know." Harry winked.

Louis smiled.

"Yeah, yeah. I'm up."

Louis stood up and walked over to Harry to give him a kiss.

Harry turned away.
"Nope! Not with your gross breath! Go brush your teeth. I have to sew your suit. What color?"

Louis laughed.
"Blue. Navy blue."

"Coming right up!"

Louis walked to the bathroom to brush his teeth.

When he came back, Harry was almost done.

Louis sat in a chair and watched Harry.

He smiled.

Harry looked up at him.
"What are you smiling about?"
"You. You're so damn cute. How the hell did I get so lucky?"

"Ha. Very funny." Harry smirked at him.

It went quiet for a few seconds.

"I had a scary dream last night." Harry said.
"About what?"
"You. I dreamt that I was sleeping, and you were supposed to be behind me, but you weren't there, and I got really scared."

"I know."
"How did you know?"
"I got up at one point last night, and you started crying in your sleep. It was adorable."
"Oh."
"Don't be embarrassed. Like I said, it was adorable."
Harry didn't say anything else.

They walked downstairs together.

As soon as they walked into the room, all 8 of the girls stood up.
"Hi, Louis." They said in unison.
"Hey, girls." Louis said.

Harry rolled his eyes.

They sat down together.

Jason tapped Louis's shoulder.

"Say something to them."

Louis groaned.

"Girls, are you all doing alright? Sorry about the scare with the rebels. Everything's on track now."

Harry rolled his eyes again.

He hated having to share Louis with 8 other girls who have never even had a proper conversation with him. It just wasn't fair to him.

Louis sat down.
"Are you ok?"
"No. I hate this." Harry said.
"Me too. It'll all be over soon. Don't worry." He whispered this last part.
"I will marry you, Styles."
Harry blushed.
