Louis' POV

I woke up the next morning and prodded the grouchy Harry that had somehow ended up next to me, I knew he hated mornings but we had today and today only to get a replacement costume for the show.

"Harry, up now." I said sternly, prodding his face.

"Don't use your teacher voice on me." He mumbled into the pillow, I hopped out of bed and headed for the shower, shouting one last time for him to get up. I hopped into the steamy shower and did what I needed to before stepping out and wrapping a towel around my waist, when I entered the bedroom Harry was nowhere to be seen, thankfully. I found some clothes and dropped my towel so I could change into them, once I was changed I towel dried my hair and entered the main room. Harry was lay on the sofa, flat on his stomach, fast asleep. His mouth was slightly ajar as he snored quietly, as much as I didn't want to disturb him he needed to get up. I approached him slowly and shook his shoulder carefully,

"Harry, Harry mate. Get up." He mumbled something under his breath before opening his eyes.

"Why can't I just sleep?" He asked, sitting up slowly.

"You can when we get in, go get changed." He forced himself up and waddled off into the bedroom, stumbling a little due to his tired vision. I took a seat on the sofa and flicked through the channels whilst I waited for him to get ready.

After around ten minutes he came back out of the room in a pair of skinny black jeans and a black tour top, I smiled and he took a seat next to me as he slipped his shoes on.

"You ready?" I asked, grabbing my car keys. He nodded and we left my flat and went straight to the car, I opened the passenger door for him before walking round to the other side and climbing in myself. He buckled up and lay his head back, I followed and turned the car on. We set off for the shop and listened to whatever music was played on the radio as we travelled there, when we were around five minutes away I decided to break the silence.

"So do you know what size we'll be looking for?" I waited for a response, but it was silent. As we stopped at a red light I looked to the right of me to see Harry with his arms crossed across his chest and his head lowered a little, his eyes were shut tight and he was sleeping peacefully. I rolled my eyes and left him to sleep until we reached the shop, I honked the horn causing him to shoot up from his sleep. He rubbed his eyes and frowned at me,

"That's a horrible thing to do." He whined, opening the door and getting out of the car. I stepped out and locked it before placing an arm around his neck,

"Sorry, but I had to wake you up somehow." He pouted before burying his head into my neck,

"I just want to sleep boo." I froze for a minute and released Harry, slightly confused.

"What?"

"I just want to sleep Lou." He complained, standing up straight. I nodded slowly and dragged him into the shop,

"Well you can't because we need to get you a costume." He sighed and followed my orders. I lead him down various aisles picking out things which I thought replaced the costume very well, Harry on the other hand, he had his own ideas.

"Why can't he look like I do now?" I laughed at him,

"A homeless sleepy man." His jaw dropped,

"I am not homeless!" I laughed again,

"I know, it was a joke. Anyway how about this jacket? We can get the people to print T Birds onto it." He shrugged it on and adjusted it so it sat nicely,

"Yeah it's perfect." I smiled and retrieved it from him. We collected the rest of the costume and headed to the till, we set down the clothes and I explained the situation about the costume. The women were completely understanding after they'd gotten a photo with me and allowed us to sit in the back whilst we waited, Harry rested his head on my shoulder and slowly kept dropping off. I prodded his nose slightly and he pushed my hand away in annoyance,

"Lou, no." He mumbled, I slid across causing him to fall on the sofa with a thud. He shot up and frowned at me,

"Ouch." I giggled and we were joined by the women,

"Does this look okay?" She turned the jacket round and I smiled widely,

"Yeah it's great, thank you. Harry stay here whilst I pay." I instructed, he nodded and sat patiently whilst I followed the women out. I got my credit card out and paid quickly,

"So Mr Tomlinson, is this the new boyfriend?" The grey haired lady asked, handing me the receipt. My eyes widened and I shook my head,

"No, no. He's just a friend." She smirked at me,

"That's what they all say, just friends." I looked away from the uncomfortable stares and called for Harry, he stumbled out the door and pretty much collapsed into my arms.

"Can we go home now Lou?" I sighed and handed him the bag,

"We need to find something for dinner first, then we can, promise." He thanked the women and we said goodbye before climbing back into the car. Harry threw the bags into the back and clipped himself in,

"Don't fall asleep again." I ordered, buckling my seatbelt.

"I can have a nap can't I?" He asked, I shook my head.

"no, because every time you do, I feel bad for waking you. So don't go to sleep."

"Fine." He huffed, crossing his arms and slamming them against his chest. I laughed at the pain he caused for himself, we drove a few miles into town and stopped outside one of the most well known fish and chip shops there is.

"You coming in?" I asked, he shook his head and I climbed out of the car. I placed my orders quickly and watched Harry through the glass window, he was fascinated by something in the car but I couldn't see it well enough to see what it was. After my food was ready I paid and scurried out to the car, hopping in before anybody stopped me for a picture. When I climbed in I noticed what Harry's fascination was, it was one of my jumpers. Strange fascination really.

"Is this yours?" He asked, eyeing up the pattern.

"Yeah why?" I replied, placing the food by his feet.

"I want it." I frowned at him,

"Why? Get your own." He shook his head,

"Nope, I'm having this. End of." I was too tired to retaliate.

"Fine, it's yours. But don't ruin it." He smiled happily at me and held it up to his face, I knew straight away that he was going to use it as a pillow to go sleep. I turned the radio down and listened to it as we drove home, I guess his sleeping habit wasn't too bad.
