When Lottie and Louis get home, Louis rushes out of the car to get inside. He wanted to get ready quick. Louis was a bit more confident now after Lottie telling him the do's and don'ts of a dance. It was weird for Louis to even care about a dance so much but it's all for Harry's benefit.

Louis strips out of his day clothes and starts the shower. The hot warm strips the worry and sweat off his body. Louis thoroughly washes his hair and body. He takes the razor in his shower and begins to shave his face using the shower mirror. Louis hadn't even realized the beard he had been growing. It wasn't lengthy but it was full coverage and definitely made him look a few years older than he is. Louis tries his best to not nick his skin so he doesn't look like a thirteen year old lad who just tried shaving.

When Louis sets out, he wraps a clean towel around his waist. He wipes the mirror over the sink of the built up condensation.

Louis does basically his morning routine. He brushes his teeth and blow dries his hair. He even puts on some aftershave which stings the fuck out of his skin. Although Louis isn't pleased with his hair. It's messy and even after combing it he still feels it doesn't look proper.

Only problem is, Louis has no idea how to style his hair. Louis tries though... and fails which angers him.

"Dan!" Louis shouts. Dan was basically the only fatherly role Louis has. Dan has only been with his mom for three years but he was sure better than his dad before and his actual father who didn't even bother to stay and take care of Louis.

Louis hears footsteps and his door to his room open.

"Yes?" Dan asks outside the bathroom door. Louis opens it with a frown.

"Can you style my hair?" Louis asks even though he's practically shoving the hair gel in Dan's hand.

"Sure." Dan smiles happily. Louis goes to sit at his desk chair and Dan stands behind him.

"I've never seen you take something so seriously besides football." Dan speaks as he combs gel through Louis's thick hair.

"I want Harry to have a good dance experience and if I look like shit he won't." Louis explains to Dan who hums in response.

"I'm sure he'll enjoy himself as long as he is there with you." Dan voice's his opinion but Louis doesn't agree. Although Harry is really only excited about the dance and the hotel because he'll be with Louis.

"I guess." Louis mumbles and stays quiet the rest of the time Dan does his hair.

"Finished." Dan smiles at his work and Louis looks in the mirror in the bathroom. His hair is gelled into a quiff with no stray hairs visible.

"Thank you." Louis smiles at Dan. Dan pats Louis's back with a smile before stepping out of his room to let him finish getting ready.

Louis goes into his closet and pulls out his suit. It was kept in a plastic casing to keep it from wrinkles and dust. Louis places the suit on his bed and picks up his phone to call Harry.

"Hello?" Louis speaks.

"Hi Lou!" Harry's cheerful voice makes a smile spread Louis's face.

"Hi love, I just wanted to say come over in around ten minutes. I know my mum is gonna want to take pictures." Louis explains. He paces back in forth in his room from anxiousness.

"Okay! I was gonna come back anyways because my mum already said she wants pictures." Harry giggles fondly. The two talk for a bit more until Louis hangs up to get dressed.

He slips on the undershirt first. The white silk material was soft on his firm skin. He buttons it all the way up and then puts on the suit top. It's snug and hugs his curves. Louis had a defined hourglass figured that wasn't typically showed due to his loose fitting clothes. It doesn't take Louis long to get his suit on and takes on five tries to properly tie his tie.

Louis then takes one last final look in the body sized mirror in his room. In Louis's honest opinion he thinks he looks quite sexy and many would agree.
Louis then makes his way down stairs, surprised by his family all waiting down there for him.

His is greeted with the squeals of his sisters and mother.

"Louis, bub, you look so handsome." Jay coos at her son, she brings him in for a tight hug that Louis returns.

"Harry's coming over right, we get to see him?" Lottie asks from behind her mum.

"Yeah, he is. I'll be going over to his house too. His mum wants to take pictures." Louis says to Lottie. It's not much longer when the doorbell rings. Louis gets up from the couch to answer it.

He's stunned when he sees Harry.

His hair is blown out giving it volume. His shirt is pure black and is buttoned up half, letting his chest be exposed. His trousers were the same pure black but had glittery, silver stripes going down the pant legs.

"You look beautiful, Harry." It's an understatement in Louis's opinion after he says it.

"Boys! Come in!" Jay calls and Louis takes Harry's hand in his.

Daisy and Phoebe run up to Harry with all the compliments they can think of.

"You look like a prince!"

"You're like an angel!" The smile brightly and Harry leans down to hug them.

"Oh wait!" Louis's eyes go wide as he remembers. He runs up stairs to grab the two boutonnières from his bed along with the bouquet of flowers.

Harry's face lights up when he sees the flowers in Louis's hand.

"These are for you love." Louis first clips the boutonnière on Harry's shirt and then hands him the flowers before putting on his own boutonnière.

"Two cuties." Jay smiles and gets out her camera.

"I want pictures at the front of the house. It's cuter out there." Louis laughs at his mum's obsession with pictures. The boys follow Jay outside and stand where she tells them to. Louis wraps his right arm around Harry's back to pull him close to him. They take several different photos doing different poses. Jay starts to tear up when she's done.

"I want you two to have a wonderful night." Jay smiles and wraps his arms around the two boys.

"We will." Harry answers while smiling. He felt so overjoyed right now. After a long hug from Jay, the two walk over to Harry's house and it's the same experience over there. Louis gets compliments and Anne is ensured to take pictures. She also takes them outside and begins crying.

"I'm so happy for you two. Be safe and have fun." Anne cries happily giving each boy a long hug. At that time the dance was starting and it was time to go. Harry grabs the keys for his car which Louis takes.

"M'lady." Louis smiles and opens the door for Harry to step in.

"M'lord." Harry giggles and steps in the car. Louis rushes over the the driver side and gets in quickly.

"Do you want to make any stops before we get there, like get something to eat?" Louis asks while starting the car.

"No thanks, they'll have some food and drinks there and will definitely have food at the hotel." Louis just nods and begins to pull out of the driveway. His stomach is doing somersaults from how anxious he feels.

The dance would last two hours and Louis was hoping they would leave earlier than that but he was leaving that all up to Harry because to Louis this night is not about him or them, it's about making sure Harry has the best time he can.
