The Bodyguard

The Investigation Room

Back at the house, Niall was in the music room playing his guitar. It was one of the only times he could actually feel at 'home' in their new home. He decided he wanted a break and got up to head to the kitchen. On his way there he saw Harry and Louis watching TV but didn't see Liam or Lorelai. Her hand't seem Lorelai in a little while though. Ever since they had gone to see the bodies yesterday, she had been cooped up in the room near the gym. Niall wondered what could be in there that she was so interested in. She hadn't included that room on the 'tour' of the house she gave when they first moved in a couple days ago.

When Niall opened the fridge door, Louis spoke up. "Niall, Harry's making dinner in less than an hour" he said. Niall snapped his head up at the sound of Louis' voice. They still hadn't really spoken since their fight night before Louis snuck off.

Louis saw Nialls odd expression and turned to give Harry a face. Harry, who got the hint, got up and left the room, leaving Niall and Louis alone. Louis got up and walked to the kitchen and stood where they were facing each other on either side of the counter.

Niall watched Louis who stared at the counter and tapped his fingers. Niall knows that Louis isn't very good at this kind of stuff, so he waited patiently for Louis to speak up first.

"I was gonna say something and apologize" Louis started. "But I don't even remember what we were fighting about".

 Niall gave Louis a face, knowing that's not the complete truth.

"Okay fine, I remember. I was hoping you wouldn't remember so I would get off easy" Louis huffs.

"I can pretend to forget if you need me too" Niall laughs.

"No, I... I'm sorry" Louis says. "I was just , I was being unnecessarily rude and untrusting".

 "Well I overreacted so I'm sorry too" Niall says.

Louis let's out a big breathe, and Niall laughs, knowing this was difficult for Louis. He doesn't apologize often.

"So Lorelai, do you think she's gay?" Louis asks.

"What" Niall choked out.

"She's all tough and blocked off all the time" Louis explains.

"No" Niall says. "There are tough girls who aren't gay Louis".

"Well, I was just saying" Louis shrugs.

Niall shakes his head .

"Where has she been anyways" Louis asks.

"In a room by the gym" Niall answers.

"The locked one?"

"It's locked" Niall asked.

"Yeah when I was exploring the house, I couldn't get into it" Louis says answering his question. "Maybe" he adds. "It's her BDSM room".

''Oh my God no" Niall shouts rather loudly.

Lorelai walks into the room in just enough time to hear Niall shout and see Louis crack up laughing. 'they must have made up from their fight' she thought to herself.

''Is everything okay in here"she asks with the slightest of smiles.

''Where have you been" Harry asks coming back into the room with Liam.

"I didn't realize I was the one with the bodyguard who needed protecting" she said with her usual sass. 

"Yeah well" Harry stumbles over his words trying to come up with something to get her back with. "You can't protect us if you're just hanging in that room the whole time" he says proud of himself.
