Sedate The Mental //Larry Stylinson//

Chapter 18

*Harry*

Louis stirs in his sleep. I wonder if he'll wake up yet.

"Harry?" He mumbles. He rolls over so that he's facing me. After the movie was done, I took Louis to his room and tucked him in bed. I've been sitting on the edge of the bed watching him sleep for what seems like forever. Thank the devil he's awake.

"Yes love, it's me."

"Where am I?"

"The movie finished so I put you in bed."

"Oh."

"Are you hungry?"

"Not really." I sigh.

"Louis, you have to eat something. Even if it's small. I'll go make you some tea." I get up and I'm about to leave when Louis reaches out for me and grabs my arm.

"Wait!" I turn to face him.

"What's wrong?"

"The other...um...creatures here...." He trails off.

"They're not creatures." I snap. He winces at my tone. I soften my tone and say, "What about them?"

"Are they gonna come here and eat me?" He asks fearfully. I can't help but laugh.

"No, Lou. They aren't going to eat you. You're safe, ok?"

"Ok." He says quietly. I smile.

"Good. Now I'll go start your tea, and I'll aso make you some soup." I walk out of the room before he can protest. He needs to eat. Maybe he says he doesn't want to eat because he thinks he's fat. He did say he thought he was fat. But he's not. He's skinny. Way too skinny.

I walk into the kitchen and start his tea and soup. As I so, I realize something.

His meds.

I rummage through the cabinets for my bipolar meds. He can take these too. I grab my schizophrenia meds too and make my way upstairs, a glass of water also in my hand.

"Louis." I say as I enter his room. He turns over on his side facing me, and when he sees the pills in my hand, his eyes widen and he backs away.

"No!" He hides under the covers. I sigh.

"Lou, I have to take them too. It's to help us, ok?" He doesn't reply. "You have to take your meds, Lou. Come on." I sit down on the edge of the bed.

"Please. I don't want to." He whispers.

"I know. But you have to. What's it gonna take in order for you to take them?" He doesn't say anything. "Do you want candy or something?" He shakes his head no from under the covers. I sigh and pull the covers off of him.

"Please don't make me take them!" He wails. I run a hand through my curls.

Then an idea comes to mind.

"I'll be right back."

I rush down the stairs and quickly stir the soup, and see that his tea is almost done. Ok that's good. I make my way over to the cabinets and take out one more of each pill. I then grab another glass of water and rush up the stairs.

"Louis." I say as I make my way in his room again. He sniffles and glances up. He looks confused.

"What?" He questions. I smile.

"I have to take my meds too. If you take yours, I'll take mine with you." He considers this for a moment.

"Um...ok. yeah, ok." My smile grows.

"Great. Then here's yours." I hand him his two pills and glass of water. I sit down next to him. "On the count of three, ready?" He nods his head. "One."

"Two."

"Three." We both take both pills without a problem. Louis shudders when he's done. "They don't have a flavor." I say confused. He shakes his head.

"It's not that. I hate medicine." He says.

"But it makes you better." I point out. He shrugs and looks down.

"Not all the time." I frown.

"What do you mean?" (A.N. No JB references. O.o) He turns away.

"Nothing." He lays back down and cuddles into the blankets. I'm curious, but I decide not to ask. It must be personal.
