Look After You

Confidence

Harry always saw himself as "the fault". Always finding some way to blame a certain problem or situation on himself for never being "good" enough.

When he was growing up, he didn't find much of an attraction to woman. Being taught in a society where woman and men were supposed to fall in love. He tried, but it didn't feel like love, it felt fake and unusual.

Blaming himself, he tried to grow out of it. Tried finding the attraction, but never succeeding. He found what he thought was love, but the woman ended up leaving him and his newborn son.

He blames himself for Adrians mother leaving. He blames himself for not having a mother figure for Adrian's life. He blames his sexuality, his looks, his actions, everything.

Any faults he has, he'll find them and try to make them better, but he'll never see himself change. He felt the need to do better. For him and his son.

Harry has known this man for only a couple of hours, and already, he feels himself start to confide in him.

Louis was a beautiful person, inside and out. Those qualities also showing in his son Michael.

During the next few days, him and Louis would text non-stop. He learned about Louis likes and dislikes, where he used to live, where he wants to be in the future, everything.

And now it was finally time for Harry to invite Louis and Michael to his place since Adrian's been asking for that non stop.

"Please, please, please dad. Tomorrow's Friday! Can we please invite them over for dinner?!" Adrian pleads as he sits next to his father on the couch.

They've both been watching some baking competition, well, mostly Harry.

"Hmm, is your room cleaned?" Harry ask.

"Yes!" Adrian replies quickly.

"Did you do all your homework?" Harry raises an eyebrow.

"Did it all yesterday!" The small boy enthusiastically points out.

"Well..." Harry drags out as Adrian gets closer, his hands clasped together and his eyes shut. Harry adores his son so much.

"Fine." He gives in.

Adrian jumps up with excitement. He captures his father in a big bear hug.

"Thank you thank you thank you! I'll get to bed right now!" And with that, he disappears into his room.

Harry chuckles, pulling out his phone to text Louis.

[To: LouLou]

Hey Lou! How's about you come to dinner tomorrow night? Adrian wants a playdate with Michael again. You free? :)

He shuts the Iphone off and places it next to him. He's curled up on the corner of the sofa intrigued by the souffle the contestant just made.

A buzz scares him a bit, he picks up the phone and swipes it open.

[From: LouLou]

Always free for you curly ;). What time should we be there by?

Harry takes no time to text back fast.

[To: LouLou]

Around 5?

[From: LouLou]

Sounds great! Can't wait :)

And with that, it's done. Harry heads to Adrian, whose already fast asleep, gives him a quick kiss, then heads to wash up and sleep.
