I See You (Larry Stylinson) {Co-written with @uniquelyxlarry}

Chapter 11

Louis’ POV

"Louis." I felt lips against my skin and I smiled, opening my eyes and searching for Harry’s lips with my own. He sat on the bed and I sat up so we were at eye level.

"Sorry for freaking out and yelling at you yesterday." I said quietly.

He held my hand and kissed my cheek. "It's okay." I hummed as he leaned in to kiss me again. His hand slipped under my shirt, gripping my hip.

I opened my mouth when his tongue pushed against my lips and I giggled when his tongue brushed the roof of my mouth. I pulled him closer, loving the tingly feeling I got whenever his hands touched my bare skin. I ran my fingers through his messy curls and he moaned in delight.

He pulled away and I frowned. "Why'd you stop?"

"I don't want things to go to far." He sighed. "I get aroused pretty easily." I smiled fondly at the blush that crept up his cheeks. "I can't believe I just told you that." He laughed.

I laughed with him and he pecked my lips again before standing and checking my vitals and stitches.

"How are you feeling? Any pain, numbness, tingling?"

"A little pain around my incision, but other than that I feel fine. Better than I have in a long time actually."

His smile grew and he bent down to kiss my forehead.

"I have to make my rounds, but I'll be back in a couple hours. Try not to miss me too much.” He winked.

I snorted, stretching my neck to get a proper kiss. He checked my vitals one more time before leaving.

I flipped on the TV and settled on reruns of Dexter. It was an interesting show. A cop who killed serial killers.

The time passed fairly quickly and when Harry returned I was glued to the TV. “Have you seen this? Dexter?” I asked

“No.” He switched my IV bag and wrote something into my chart then put on his stethoscope. He slipped his hand under my shirt, placing the cold metal on my chest. I flinched at the cold and he apologized quietly.

He listened to my heart for a few minutes, before moving to my back and asking me to breathe.

“Why do you have to do that? Isn’t that what the heart monitor is for?” I scrunched my nose in irritation as the cold piece contacted my shoulder.

“The monitor is mainly to alert us if your heart rate slows significantly. It’s easier to get an understanding by listening and feeling.

He placed his palm over my heart and planted a small kiss on my neck. I shuddered as he trailed his lips up to my mouth.

“Dr Styles?” Someone cleared their throat and Harry sprang away from the bed. Nurse Ella looked down at her feet. “Mr. Jones’ wife is here. She wants to speak with you.”

She rushed out of the room before he could reply and he sighed, running a hand through his hair. I grabbed his hand and he smiled softly down at me.

“She’s not a homophobe you know? She just doesn't want to lose her job. She’s a single mum with three kids.”

I nodded, feeling better now that I knew she didn’t hate me. “What happens if the hospital finds out?”

“I could be fired. Doctors can’t operate on patients they know outside of work, because emotions ‘get in the way’. I think it’s a load of bullshit, but rules are rules. If I wasn’t fired then I would be suspended and frankly, I don’t want anyone operating on you besides myself.”

He rubbed his thumb over the back of my hand soothingly and I leaned my head on his shoulder. I closed my eyes, sighing contently. Everything just felt right when I was with him. I had never felt that way with anyone else.

“I have to go speak to Mrs. Jones. I’m off tonight and tomorrow, but I’ll come see you before I leave.”

I whined when he tried to get up and he chuckled then kissed my cheek.

Unfortunately Dexter was no longer on so I had to watch crappy reality TV until he came back an hour later.

He brought me dinner from a fast food restaurant and I practically jumped for joy. The hospital food was nasty.

He put in a movie he had borrowed from the library in the East Wing and we ate, cuddled, and kissed until his shift ended and thirty minutes after.

He put his number into my phone before leaving, telling me to call him or text him whenever I wanted.

After he left I watched another movie he brought me and without meaning to I fell asleep in the middle of it.

Harry’s POV

My day off went by slowly. I missed Louis, so I decided to tell him. We texted for hours and the only reason we stopped was because he needed to take a nap. It was almost lunchtime, so I made myself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with some crisps and sat down to eat. Molly jumped up beside me and layed in my lap.

I saw something on the news about a storm coming and I groaned. People tend to panic when a storm comes and they get hurt, which means the hospital overflows.

I flipped the channel to some show about zombies. then grabbed my laptop when I was finished eating. I moved Molly off of my lap and proceeded to check my email. I replied to the work related ones first.

After all my work stuff was done I researched new heart technology, hoping something new would come along that would save Louis' s life. It could be a while before a new heart was available for him. He was number seventeen on the waiting list, which is pretty high up, but still that meant seventeen people had to be brain dead for him to get a heart.

I shut my laptop when it got dark out and made myself a pizza for dinner. I poured some dog food into  plastic bowl and set it down for the yapping yorkie at my feet. Molly gobbled it up and I took a bite of my pizza, throwing her tiny tennis ball. She chased after it, making me chuckle.

My phone buzzed on the table and I grinned involuntarily when I saw that it was Louis. He sent me a picture of him and Ally pulling funny faces. I giggled and scooped up Molly to send him a picture back.

They called me and Louis put me on speaker so I could talk to Ally too. She told me all about her new dream job, a veterinarian. She said she loved animals and she knew what it was like to be sick, so she wanted to help them. I felt my heart break as she coughed after the comment about knowing how it felt to be sick.

The truth was that she probably wouldn’t make it to be a vet. Her cancer was progressing rapidly.

I heard a nurse in the background and a few minutes later Ally was gone.

“She’s so weak, Harry.” Louis sighed.

“I know.” I sniffed. “But she’s got a good spirit. She’s going to fight as long as she can.”

“I hope so. I haven’t known her long, but she’s such a sweet girl. She didn’t deserve this. Why do bad things happen to good people?”

“I don’t know. Neither of you deserve this. You know I would take it all away if I could.”

It was true. I had known Ally for three months and Louis for four weeks, but I would do anything to help them. I cared deeply about both.

“Harry?” Louis said nervously.

“Yeah Lou?”

“I love you.”

“I love you too.” I grinned as a tear fell down my cheek. I wiped it away with the back of my hand.

He loved me and I loved him. I think I loved him from the moment I saw him, I was just realizing it. He was so different from anyone I’d ever met. He made me feel like I was floating. He was everything I wanted and more.
