One Of Her Students.

Chapter TwentyFour

They lived the next few days mostly in fear. It wasn’t that they meant to, it just sorta happened. They didn’t know if or where he could turn up at any second. They felt like they were being watched. The first day Louis and Harry stayed in Louis’ bed the whole day. Occasionally getting out just to go to the bathroom or get something to drink. They ended up just being wrapped up with each other, neither of them saying that they were scared. They didn’t have to say anything, it was already a little obvious. They didn’t speak that much, just a few words every now and then to make sure the other was fine. They weren’t really particularly angry at Eleanor. They couldn’t really be - she helped them and knew the truth. But the fact that they knew that he could come back and hurt one of them at any time would be the only reason why they could be a little upset with her. They didn’t hear from her for a couple of days. That kind of worried them but neither of them said anything or mentioned it.

On the second day, they moved from the bed to the couch. Neither of them had left the house since the incident. They both knew why but they didn’t say anything about it. They were lazily laying on the couch. Louis was slouching into the cushion and Harry was leaning more against the arm rest, trying not to fall asleep. Harry pushed his leg aside and pressed it against Louis’. It caused Louis to turn and look at Harry. Harry gave him a grin before turning his attention back to the TV.

"You’re weird." Louis laughed, sitting up and leaning over to ruffle his boyfriend’s curls lightly. Harry smiled at him, biting his lip.

"Sorry for just wanting you to look at me." Harry grinned, blushing lightly. He turned from Louis’ gaze quickly out of embarrassment.

Louis reached over and laid his finger on his cheek, turning Harry’s face to cause him to meet his eyes once again.

"I wanted to ask you something." Louis breathed, watching the younger boy shift on the couch next to him.

"Yes?" Harry hummed, blinking slowly at the touch of his fingertips. He stared back at Louis. Their eyes melted together as they breathed lightly. 

"I.." He frowned, taking in a nervous breath.

"Spit it out, you fool." Harry chuckle, leaning over to kiss Louis’ palm - Louis’ hands were still on his face.

"Well.." He sighed, "I wanted to ask if maybe.. Maybe you would want to live here? You could move in or something? Be with me..?" He asked shakily, removing his hands. He began staring at something on the wall behind Harry.

Harry almost gasped. He could feel himself wanting to just cry because Louis made him feel so special. He felt wanted. He felt like he could actually do anything if he had Louis with him, cheesy as it sounds - it was true. Harry cupped Louis’s cheeks, causing him to look at Harry again. 

"I didn’t mean for you to cry," Louis chuckled, wiping away the moisture that escaped from Harry’s eyes. Harry didn’t even notice that he had tears falling, he let out a shaky laugh and leaned forward to kiss Louis.

After a few minutes, Louis pulled away and looked at Harry. “So, what do you say?” He smiled slightly, raising his eyebrows as he waited for Harry’s reply.

Harry nodded, “Of course I will,” He smiled widely, leaning over to press his side against Louis. Louis wrapped his arm around Harry’s shoulder and brought him closer to his side. ”You don’t even know how happy I am.” Harry whispered, turning to meet Louis’ eyes once more. Louis saw the happiness in Harry’s eyes. He saw straight through him and that was enough for him. He just wanted Harry to be happy.

The third day Harry went back to school. Louis was nervous, not just for Harry - but for himself. Mostly because he knew that Harry would at least have everyone around him at school, but he was alone. At school, Eleanor wasn’t even there. They had a substitute teacher in her place - which of course caused more wonder and confusion about everything that was happening. So Louis made Liam and Zayn come over and spend some time with him while Harry was away. They both noticed that Louis was a bit timid, so Louis told them everything. They were a bit freaked out, mostly because they were also friends with John. They never guessed that he would do that, just like Louis. So they stayed with him the whole time and even rode with him to go pick Harry up from school.
