"You need to calm down, Mr. Tomlinson you need to breathe" Liam said, holding his shoulders
"Fuck off, I am breathing!" Louis snapped, rubbing his watery eyes before coughing
"You need to calm down okay?" Liam said patiently
"Where is he!" Louis shouted
"Stop shouting and speak properly before you start chocking again" Liam insisted
"I'm fine now I just need him" Louis snapped, brushing Liam's hand off of his shoulders
"Who do you want?" Liam sighed
"Harry, where the fuck is he when I need him" Louis huffed
"Harry, has a job to do" Liam reminded
"Harry's job revolves around me. I need him. Get him" Louis demanded
"Damn I've never met anyone so persistent" Liam sighed "Come on then"
Liam lead Louis to Harry's office, knocking twice before Harry responded
"Come in?" Harry said loudly as Liam opened the door "Oh hi Li" He smiled
"I know it's early but he insisted" Liam shrugged
"Oh, afternoon Louis. Did you need something? Wait.. Have you been crying?" Harry asked leaning forward in his seat
"No, I'm fine" Louis said quickly, suddenly becoming a little embarrassed
"Oh yeah of course" Harry said quickly, not wanting to upset him "Take a seat"
"He had what I guess was a panic attack since I mentioned something about a scar on his hip" Liam said quietly
"I didn't have a bloody panic attack! You shouldn't have been looking at me and I just got angry" Louis huffed, folding his arms as he sat in his usual chair
"Okay, I can take it from here Liam. Thanks mate" Harry smiled at his friend as he left, shutting the door behind him
Louis said nothing, looking at his hands sadly
"Okay so what really happened?" Harry asked
"Nothing" Louis shrugged
"Oh come on, you can talk to me. You know you can" Harry sighed, pushing back his paperwork in order to speak to Louis without distractions
"I messed up" Louis said quietly
"Yeah? Why's that?" Harry asked
"I flipped out at Liam and started crying like a fucking pathetic child" Louis sighed
"It's not pathetic Lou, there was obviously a reason for it" Harry looked at him sadly
"I'm just stupid" Louis muttered
"Hey, don't say that. You're anything but stupid" Harry shushed him "Now tell me why you got angry at Liam"
"He's a dick" Louis muttered
"Hey, don't speak like that. I need you to express yourself without just being rude to people" Harry said softly
"I'm trying" Louis whined
"Okay, go again" Harry sighed, resting his elbow on the desk and placing his chin on his hand
"Liam was being annoying" Louis tried again
"Better" Harry said in approval
Louis smiled at him and continued "We were getting fresh uniforms and I wanted to get changed alone but Liam wouldn't leave"
"Go on" Harry pushed after Louis paused for a few seconds
"So..I snapped at him?" Louis shrugged
"Right" Harry nodded
"Because he just wouldn't leave me and it.. And then he saw a scar and the whole thing. It just.. It brought back some memories" Louis shivered
"Of Fletcher Banks?" Harry asked
Louis gritted his teeth "Yeah"
"He wouldn't leave you, like Liam wouldn't?" Harry asked
"Yeah exactly" Louis nodded
"And that's why you were angry and upset?" He asked
"Yes" Louis nodded
"The scar was from him?" Harry questioned sympathetically
"You've gotten so much better at this Lou, I'm really proud of you" Harry said sincerely
And he was, because when Louis first came he wasn't this open. He would snap if anyone even talked to him. And now he was answering questions about the things that scare him most
And that made Harry unconditionally proud, not only because he knew that he'd helped him get this far. But because he knew how much it meant to Louis and he knew that this was all so hard for him
"Thanks" Louis smiled

"Styles, you decided to join us!" Niall grinned
"I did" Harry chuckled "For once"
"I'm glad, you're always really busy and stressed out. Let's go for a drink mate" Niall said, standing
"I have to drive" Harry sighed
"Well, one drink won't harm. Come on nobody ever drinks with me!" Niall pouted
Harry looked at Liam
"I can't!" Liam said sadly "Kidneys" He reminded
Niall raised a brow at Harry
"Okay. We'll have a fucking drink together, are you happy?" Harry huffed
"Over the moon!" Niall grinned "I'm telling you, drinking is the way forwards"
Harry shook his head in amusement, laughing at the blonde boys enthusiasm to a simple drink
Once they got to the local bar, they ordered a drink each, Liam only getting a soft drink
None if them got drunk, knowing that they had to get back to work in an hour. They simply drank enough to calm themselves and try forget about the work related stress and worries that they had
But Harry just couldn't stop thinking about Louis
About how closed he was towards everyone but Harry
About how he actually trusted Harry, when he trusted nobody
About how he had marks all over his small body
About how innocent and vulnerable he seemed at times
About how beautiful he was
So beautiful
"Next time we will definitely get wasted" Niall grinned, snapping Harry out of his small stream of thoughts
"Wahtaver you say" Liam shrugged "Doesn't so much harm once in a while"
"That's what I've been trying to convince you for the whole entirety of your life" Niall huffed
And that's how the rest of their break went
But a small part of Harry just couldn't let go of the work related issues running through his mind
All revolving around Louis
Why was he so amazed by him anyway?
Only time would tell
