Prince of the Seven Seas (Larry Stylinson AU)

Chapter 11

Harry keeps his eyes on Louis steadily.

He doesn't dare look away because if he does, Louis may disappear.

How long had it been since he last saw the royal? The amount of time was surely countable in days and yet...

It felt like an eternity to Harry.

The first night, after he finished tying the captain of The Rose to the wheel of the ship before they sank it, Harry remembered seeing the brunet on deck with Zayn. He had actually been caught off guard because with how rough he had fucked Louis earlier in the afternoon, the prince shouldn't have been able to walk at all. -though it was nice to know Louis was durable for future reference. Harry would just have to fuck him harder so he can't even think straight for the next day the next time they shag-

His biggest mistake had probably been not interfering because when he saw Zayn, Liam, and Danielle appear on deck once more they all said Louis was with Eleanor.

Harry took it as one of Louis's little talks with the girl. He expected Louis to be back in his room that night.

He had been wrong.

Louis didn't come anywhere near his quarters that night and Harry tried to not let it get to him.

He'd just be sure that after breakfast he'd pull Louis back into his room and remind him of a couple of things.

Louis hadn't been at breakfast either that day. He tried to stay calm in the face of his crew, however, his irritation couldn't help but peak out at times.

When he asked of Louis's whereabouts suddenly everyone was ignorant.

Harry tried to keep his temper as low as possible because at least one person in that room was a fucking a liar and he swore if he found out who was keeping him from Louis, he'd go crazy.

For that reason, he couldn't help but stare at Eleanor during the remainder of breakfast. The shy brunette was clearly flustered by his gaze and Danielle tried her best to play it off.

Louis was hiding in their room, Harry was pretty sure. Although Danielle knew better than to try and take something Harry would kill for, Eleanor was still new and naïve.

She had not the slightest clue that Harry would slit her throat if she kept him away from Louis too long in this little game.

Throughout the day, Harry pushed Louis into the back of his mind as he worked on disposing of the remainder of prisoners from The Rose. Liam expressed surprise in this because normally, Harry never occupied himself with killing all the prisoners.

Liam clearly didn't see Harry's frustration.

When he went to dinner and he saw Louis still wasn't there, he found a bit of dark humor in the situation.

Because he was really going to starve himself in favor of avoiding Harry? How cute.

Once again, Harry questioned where Louis was, this time he was sterner with his words. He kept his eyes on Eleanor as he spoke in order to see her break down, but Danielle formed a barrier between them and kept eye contact with Harry instead, her eyes calm and understanding.

This time when he received no answer yet again, Harry left dinner early and debated on going to Danielle's room for Louis himself, but he stopped himself from that because the longer Louis kept them apart now, the more frustration Harry would be able to turn into sexual aggression later.

Louis wasn't even in hiding. Harry knew he was somewhere on the ship. Just running away from him.

But it didn't matter because eventually, like all things Harry wanted since he became the Prince of the Seven Seas, Louis would be in his grasp sooner or later.
