Louis didn’t know when it started but every day when he woke up, he would be greeted in the morning by a bouquet of white roses delicately placed on the bedside table and a pair of green eyes staring cautiously at him. It should have freaked Louis out a bit but strangely he found that gesture a teeny tiny bit cute.
“How’s sleep?” The Cheshire Cat asked as he sat on the bed beside Louis, his ears twitching. Louis groaned and rubbed the sleep out from his eyes. “Fine really” he managed to choke out as he attempted to sat upright on the bed.
“No nightmares?’ Harry asked as he took Louis’ hands and squeezed it tightly.
“Yeah, slept really well last night” Louis answered as he snatched his hand away. He turned his attention to the bouquet of roses and smiled. “Thanks for the roses”.
Harry beamed at him and scratched his cat ears. “Anything for you, Alice”.
The door creaked open and Niall’s head popped in, squinting at the view before him. “Good Morning, love birds” he said as he placed one of his rabbit ears away from his face.
“Shut it Niall” Harry said aloud but there is a smile threatening to creep on his face. He actually liked Niall calling him and Louis lovebirds.
“Aww, Come on Harry, we know you like the Alice” Niall remarked, whistling as Liam voice echoed.
“And You didn’t even sleep last night” Liam said from the outside of the room. “ Why then?”
“What?” Louis asked as Harry turned to face him again.
“So lover boy here could watch you sleep, protect you if you have nightmares again” Niall answered dodging a pillow harry had thrown at him.
Harry groaned.
Now Alice will think Im some sort of perverted psychopath who enjoys watching him sleep…
Well, I do enjoy watching him sleeping…
Breathing through his nose and exhaling with a puff out of his mouth…
The way his eyes crinkle…
The way his body shifts on the mattress…
Okay…I didn’t even know I paid that much attention…
Louis blushed, a pink hue tinting his cheeks as he watched Harry flustered before him.
“Um, You should not have known that. Its not like Im oogling you when youre sleeping, really” Harry said. “Shit, I mean, Im not checking you out or maybe thinking how cute you looked like or how you pucker your lips and how enticing that was to watch or anything or….maybe I should just shut up”
Louis giggled at that. He fucking giggled… Come on, what grown man does that really. Some grown man with a stupid crush …that’s who.
“You really are cute” The Cheshire cat said as he cupped Louis’ face, the blush coming back.
“Im pretty well informed that cute is not a word to describe someone as good looking as me” Louis said, sticking his tongue out at Harry. “I think gorgeous suits me better”
“Okay, youre gorgeous then” Harry smiled, his white teeth sparkling.
“That is more like it”
“Here” Harry said placing a pile of clothes on the bedside table. “ Figured, you wanted some clothes to change into”
“Niall’s nightgown is so itchy, you know” Louis said making a show of scratching his back. “ Maybe it’s the rabbit fur”
