"Why are you wearing girl trousers, Dad?" Niall asks with a giggle that causes Liam to just roll his eyes.

"They're not girl trousers, they're just flared bottoms. They're as girly as yours and Liam's skinny jeans," Harry retorts as he lifts his arms for Caroline to do another measurement.

"Yeah but yours have flowers on them also," Niall retorts.

"Flowers do not equalize to femi-"

"Louis's here," Liam interrupts, not feeling like listening to his father explain to his little brother the importance of gender equality.

Rather than replying, though, Harry simply rushed away from Caroline's reach and ran straight towards the entrance of the building. Hardly even waiting for the man to knock, it was no surprise that when Harry rushed to open the door Louis was a bit stunned at the quickness.

"Louis! Hi, how are you? How was work?" Harry asks as he guides the man in.

"Not too bad, it was a pretty relaxed day," Louis says, however, continues when he sees Harry was gonna close the door. "Hold on keep that open, Zayn wanted to walk and he was making sure to step on every tile."

And that immediately caused Harry to stick his head out the door only to catch eyes with the toddler only a few feet from the door. Harry cooed at his look of concentration, but nonetheless kept the door open for a few more moments before Zayn finally managed to finish stepping on all the tiles outside.

"Hi, Zaynie," Harry cooed as he crouched down to the two year old's eye level.

Rather than replying, though, Zayn just gave a shy wave before running into the back of Louis' legs and lifted his arms up to be carried.

"Hi I'm Caroline, I'll be the one doing your fittings," Caroline said as she shook Louis' available hand.

"Louis, nice to meet you," Louis said with a smile.

"So I'm sizing the both of you right?" Caroline asks while gesturing to Zayn as well which catches Louis off guard because he was under the assumption Harry wouldn't want Zayn there.

"Oh no I don't-" Louis starts but gets cut off.

"Of course! Zayn's aiming to win best dressed toddler at the Brit's," Harry said with a smile.

"Harry, I can get Zayn a sitter. He doesn't need to come."

"Nonsense. We all know the real reason I invited you to go with me was so I could kidnap Zayn for the night," Harry jokes and Louis can't help but smile fondly back at the man.

"Alright fine, but I highly suggest no fitting. It's been an eventful afternoon to say the least." And to that Harry gives a small pout of sympathy before nodding his head in understanding.

So from there Caroline guides Louis over to one of the stepping stools once he had placed Zayn down and began to take measurement of the man. And, honestly, Harry would be lying if he said he didn't check out Louis' bum when the man was clad in only his boxers. Eventually though the woman wraps up the man's measurements, and now the only thing left to do is actually pick out everyone's outfits.

"Do you already know what you're wearin'?" Louis asks Harry as he lifts Zayn back up. Before Harry gets the chance to respond, though, Niall is answering out for him.

"Yeah he's wearing flowery girl pants," Niall said with a giggle that causes Harry to roll his eyes.

"Laugh all you want but I can very well have you wear the same thing as me, or even worse make you and Liam match," Harry retorts with a smirk which causes Niall and Liam's eyes to widen.
