Louis always seemed to forgive Harry quicker than others, he doesn't know why though. He guesses its just something you have to do when you're going to marry that person.
"Louis.." Harry sighed, pulling Louis onto his lap, taking his eyes from the TV. Both Calum and Michael eyed Harry and when Calum saw Michael tense up he grabbed his hand and rubbed his thumb over Michael's knuckles.
"I'm sorry.." Harry whispered, Louis just closed his eyes and nodded, "No, look at me." Louis opened his eyes to meet with Harry's, directly in front of his.
"Baby, I'm so so so so sorry.." Harry apologized, Louis just stared at Harry in silence, he then looked towards the other two and the back hallway, Calum clenched his jaw, but nonetheless, he tugged Michael up with him and the walked towards the hallway, Harry kissed Louis' chin and then his neck, hugging Louis tighter to him, but Louis didn't move at all.
"Lou?" Harry mumbled softly.
"I'm fine. Peachy, it's okay," Harry looked at Louis skeptically, the word peachy gave it away automatically, "No look see.." Louis smiled weakly, usually when Louis smiles his eye crinkle up a bit, but Harry could see Louis' eyes and they were watering, Harry reached for Louis' face but Louis moved away, still holding up his smile, "I'm fine Harry I swear.."
"Louis-"
"I-I'm fine..I swear it." Louis repeated, tears finally slipping out his eyes, but he was still trying to smile and it bothered Harry, Louis was trying so hard and it wasn't working.
"Baby." Harry whispered, Louis just fell forward onto Harry's shoulder, sobbing loudly,"Fuck fuck fuck..I'm so sorry."
Louis didn't say anything, he just shook his head and clenched Harry's shirt in his hands. Harry knew what he did was bad, he just outed Louis' old job to almost everybody in the house, and it hurt, it hurt Louis so much.
"No! Stop! I'm okay!" Louis screeched, starting to push Harry away, Harry wasn't having it though, Louis was hiding behind a shell of lies, he's not admitting that he's hurt, he's not okay. He knows it.
"Louis you're not okay, baby..look," Harry sighed and licked his lips, Louis was biting his lip roughly, struggling not to cry," You're fucking crying..it's okay..it's okay not to be okay, it's okay to let it all out, cry to your hearts desire, everyone needs to let out a good cry once in a while."
"I'm okay.." Louis whispered.
"Tell me you're not okay.." Harry whimpered.
"I'm okay, I'm telling you i'm okay, why can't you ever believe me!?" Louis shouted, Harry just stared at him, not saying a single word, "Don't just stare at me, say something!"
"..You're broken.." Harry whispered, that's what he thought, that's all he could say, he was such an asshole to Louis, Louis can't even tell what's wrong with himself, he's trying to hold everything back but he knows he can't, Louis was strong, but not that strong, "Louis.."
"I-I'm not okay.." Louis whispered, Harry just hugged Louis tightly against his chest, letting him cry softly into his chest.
"Do you forgive me?" Harry asked him softly, rubbing his back, Louis nodded.
"Even if I don't want to, I do.." Louis said, it hit Harry, it Harry so hard when Louis said that, that's how it was when Louis was his boyfriend, even if he wanted to drop Louis' ass so hard he couldn't, he could never stay mad at him,even if he wanted to. It was like Louis was slowly turning into him.
"I- I love you?"
"I love you too." Louis said reassuringly, responding quickly after Harry said his statement/question
//
Louis walked into the room that Michael was packing up in, holding Azriah on his hip and it broke his heart to see him pack up, flying back across the word and to a different timezone.
"What time?" Louis asked softly, Michael didn't look at him, he just continued packing and Azriah lied her head on Louis' shoulder, playing with his jaw.
"Six." Michael mumbled.
"That's quite early.." Louis whispered, walking towards Michael and sitting right beside his suitcase.
"Yeah, it's the only flight though, considering that Sydney is twenty two hours away. Calum booked the flight last night."
"I'm gonna miss you, kitty.."
"M'gonna miss you too, baby." Louis blushed at the new nick name, he looked down with a small smile.
"Will you tell what we did?" Louis asked, wiggling the finger Azriah was holding on to.
"N-no, as long as you don't want me to..I'll keep it quiet."
"Don't be upset at me, please.." Louis whimpered, hugging Azriah closer, "I wouldn't like that from you."
"Not upset, I could never be upset at you, I lo-" Michael coughed to cover up what he was about to say, hoping Louis was too slow to realize.
"You okay?"
"Peachy." Michael sighed if relief, Louis stood up to hug him and it lasted a while, Louis seriously didn't want to let him go.
"Kitty!" Azriah squeaked out, Louis pulled away and giggled.
"Louis!" Harry called out, walking into the room and Louis smiled at him, "Babe..We're just gonna order us some pizza, got any toppings you may want in particular?"
Louis shook his head with a pout, Louis usually was only up for plain pizza, if he felt a bit different he went for pepperoni.
"Gimme kissy.." Harry smirked, Louis just rolled his eyes with a chuckle and sat Azriah on the bed, walking towards Harry and kissing him lightly on his lips.
Harry's first instinct was to squeeze Louis' butt, causing him to gasp and bite his bottom lip.
"Love you." Harry whispered.
"I love you too." Louis giggled softly, kissing Harry's nose. Harry smiled and squeezed Louis tighter, not wanting to ever let him go, Louis was a rare flower and must be cared for and kept super close. Someone could just take it right in front of him and he couldn't tell.
Because he didn't cherish it enough.
Harry looked at Michael fist bumping Azriah, making her giggle and then at Louis, who was still hugging him tightly.
"I love you. I love you so much." Harry told him, "And I'm sorry for hurting you, I was out of line and if I could take every word back I would."
"I forgive you, it's okay..I'm fine." Louis said, patting Harry's chest.
Harry just smiled at Louis, ignoring everything negative, but thinking about how this man was going to be his husband in who knows how long.
"What's got you cheesin' ?" Louis chuckled.
"My fiance." Harry said, picking Louis up and carrying him out the room.
It was funny how only last month Harry found out that Louis and their daughter were still alive, they saved him and he saved Louis.. They needed each other more than anything, sometimes they have funny ways of showing it, but they were together. Now their getting married again.
He just hopes to god nothing goes wrong..
