The Pirate Prince *Larry Stylinson*

Drowned

Chapter 32

The morning seemed bright. He stepped on the dock to hear someone shouting for him.

"Louis! Louis William Tomlinson!"

Turning over his shoulder, Louis found himself grinning as he made eye contact with Niall while the Irishman began walking toward him from the other side of the deck. Behind him, Louis could see Ellie and Liam actively trying to split up Sofia and Zayn from a verbal argument that appeared to be growing more heated.

"Niall! Niall James Horan!" Louis mocked out in a similar way to the blond who laughed easily.

"So... How are you this fine morning?" The blond questioned after he slung an arm over the royal's shoulder.

Louis let out a breath, "Good, good. Woke up on the right side of the bed, it'd seem. You?"

For some reason, Niall's cheeks notably flared a red and he averted his blue eyes from Louis's own with a short whistle, "It was okay, I guess."

"Ah. I see." Louis slowly nodded while he allowed himself to be led back over to where Ellie stood.

"Oh! I forgot to ask! Zayn told Liam and I about the cat you got for Harry! Where is she now? Is she cute!? What's her name!?" Niall excitedly asked his eyes eager.

The older boy couldn't help but chuckle, "He's sleeping in Harry's room, He's the cutest thing ever, and his name is Dusty."

Niall blissfully released a breath, "If Zayn is really his God Father, would it be too much for me to be the God Pa?"

"What?"

"It's only fair. Liam can be the God Daddy, Sofia the God Mother, and Ellie the God Mummy. We're all like a family." The pirate pointed out with a nod.

Louis squinted his eyes, "Zayn called himself the God Father after I yelled at him for calling me Dusty's Mum' while Harry was apparently the 'Dad'. They're both idiots of course so don't take the God Father thing too serious."

"Aww... Okay, then if you're so sure."

"But aside from that, what are you guys arguing about this time?" Louis inquired in slight to change the subject.

Ellie and Liam remained in between them and were calmly attempting to pacify them.

Hearing Louis's voice, all four turned toward him in unison.

All of them instantly wore smiles and grins that Louis returned whole-heartedly, "Isn't it a little too early for a Sofia-Zayn fall out anyways?" he sarcastically mocked with a knowing look pointed at Zayn's way.

"See, Louis understands." Liam proclaimed as he pushed Zayn in his forehead, "It's too early for you two to dislike each other's existence."

Niall's own laughter appeared to be the most prominent as he released his arms from over Louis's shoulder in favor of going about to Ellie and rest his head on the female's shoulder, "That's funny because it's true! But Captain dislikes our existence every morning!"

Zayn gave Louis a slight smirk, "Well, I don't think you should say all of us."

The instant Louis took note of the stare he had to roll his eyes, "Yes, I think you should say all of us. Harry shares his dislike of me whenever I start saying things he isn't appreciative of."

"You mean something like 'No, I'm too tired, use your hand tonight'?" Sofia's eyebrows gave a suggestive wiggle easily causing both Niall and Zayn to erupt into a large fit of laugher, Ellie to put a hand to her mouth in surprise, though it was clear from her eyes that she found mirth in her words, and Liam to scrunch his eyebrows in mild confusion.
