Louis woke up to the sound of Niall snoring and the fact that the blonde was taking up most of the bed. Louis pushed at the lad to get him to move but it only caused him to stretch out even more. He got out of the large bed grumbling about his friend as he swam to his door and wondered around the castle until he got to the kitchen. He grabbed a few pieces of fish as he smiled widely to the cook and rushed out. 

"Prince Louis!" A booming voice called, causing Louis to halt his motions and roll his eyes.

"Yeah, Dad?" Louis turned to face the king.

"Are you going to deal with the otters today?"

"Of course I am. You told me to do it, did you not?"

"Yes. Don't forget-"

"Three days until I'm given a different assignment, I know."

An unamused expression crossed the king's face and Louis offered him some of the fish that was in his hand. A ghost of a smile appeared on Mark's face as he reached for the fish and ate it. He nodded to his only son and swam away. He went back to his room and forced Niall to wake up.

"Huh? What?" Niall asked as he shot up into a sitting position. 

"Get up, you lazy bed hogger," Louis said with a smile. 

"Why?" Niall whined. "Your bed is comfortable."

"It's made for a prince to sleep on. Of course it's comfortable."

"Can I be a prince? I'd like to have a bed like this."

Louis scoffed out a laugh as he rolled his eyes, "Sure, Ni. You can take my spot. You go talk to the otters while I talk to Harry, deal?"

"What? This sounds unfair." 

Louis chuckled as he tossed his last piece of fish to Niall, who beamed widely at him, "Nialler... I know I said you could come with me today, but I might need you to distract my father again. I'm worried he'll try to come check up on me." 

"The things you make me do," Niall scoffed, flopping back over. "You're lucky you have a soft bed." 

"And if you get crumbs on it, I will not hesitate to ban you from it," Louis warned. 

"Easy Princey," Niall soothed. "Isn't it nearly noon? You should be swimming off to see your human by now." 

"I came in here to talk to you first," Louis pursed his lips. "I don't know when I'll be back, cause I was kind of planning on talking to Harry as much as possible today... like until I normally do, you know... just starting earlier." 

"Until evening?" Niall gasped. "I have to distract your father until evening?" 

"Just the guards, Niall, please?" Louis begged. "Then as soon Harry and I plan a better way to meet you can come too, alright?" 

 Niall narrowed his eyes and was quiet for a moment. Louis poked out his lips pleadingly, and Niall sighed, "Fine... go to your human."

"Thank you Niall!" Louis darted forward, seizing Niall's face and planting a violent kiss onto his temple, ignoring the sound of horror Niall made as he rubbed frantically at his face, and Louis swam as fast as he could from the castle.
