Baby, look what you've done to me || L.S AU

XI.

The next two days consisted of the constant battle of getting the necessary help for Steven but every single specialist, the best doctors in the world gave him the same prognosis, he was not fit for treatment and even if he was the cancer had already taken up his entire body. Steven was transferred to a private facility as Harry felt it was more beneficial and he just wanted the best for his father.

It was also the day for the big Christmas dinner and Harry was no way near excited to attend. Since news broke about his father, media, friends, business acquaintances have showed sympathy by sending flowers and cards as if any of this would stop his father from dying. Harry was upset no one made the effort to ever care an ounce for Steven, everyone was more or less happier since the news. He's been miserable, if it wasn't for Louis he wasn't sure what state he'd be in right now. Louis was such a huge ordeal in distracting him from reality, with his soft kisses and reassuring words that he was going to be okay, Harry was happy Louis was finally by his side, holding on to him making sure he too doesn't disappear from his sight.

"Come on Harry you have to go, everyone is expecting you to" Louis props himself up on his elbows looking across to a half naked Harry on the other side of the bed.
"I don't think I'm in the mood for partying"

"Well sitting here and sulking isn't going to help either, I hate seeing you like this" Louis' hands reach over to brush the stray hair that has fallen over Harry's face.
"I love when you do that" Harry closes his eyes as Louis continues to brush the hair away from his face, Harry takes in a deep breath, biting on his lip.
"Would you go if I go?" Louis asks softly causing Harry's eyes to shoot open.
"You would do that for me?"

"Of course babe" he leans forward pecking Harry's lips softly and pulling away before he could react. He nods lightly making Louis smile in satisfaction.
"Good, Alfred put your tux out, get dressed"
"Where are you going?"
"I need to change I'm not going to a party in chinos"
"You don't need to go home, just wear one of my suits"
"Harry" Louis sneers by the door earning a slight chuckle from Harry. He knew his clothes couldn't fit Louis he just wanted to see that reaction.
"I'll see you in a bit sweetcheeks"

"You too babycakes" Harry watches as Louis disappears from sight, feeling his emotions flood back to him in an instant. Louis kept his mind off many things, he felt like time didn't matter when they were together, everything around him stops and it's just him and Louis but now that he's all alone in his room again he can't help but think of reality and just how fucked up his life was at the moment. His thoughts drifted to that day his father had given him the hard drive and he remembered when Zayn told him that Steven had a secret antidote that could cure diseases, he recalled his father telling him that this drive would explain everything he needed to know, everything Steven hid from him. He needed to know what was on that disk.

Dressed and on time Louis makes it back to Harry's place looking impeccable in a all black suit, with a turtle neck shirt tucked inside. His hair is not his usual fringe instead it's pushed back much like the way Zayn wears his, Harry is speechless when he sees him, he couldn't believe what a remarkable change a bit of clothes can do for a person. Louis would always in his eyes look innocent, his eyes were soft, his smile warm but today he looks strong, aggressive, manly. He bites his lips watching as Louis adjusts his tie for him around his neck.

"These things are impossible! Can't you just wear a suit without one?" Louis is already given up his quest to help Harry tie his tie.
"Alright fine" Harry kept it simple, a black blazer, with a floral shirt with loose slacks and his normal black suede boots. They finally make their way to the party, located at the conference room of the large thirty six floor building Harry calls his business. A lot of people are already here, the street lined with cars, the parkade already filled, Harry parks in his usually reserved spot infront the building recognizing Zayn's car right behind.
