To Harry: "Promise me that you won't tell him about me."

From Harry: "Don't worry. The secret's safe with me. He won't know a thing."

To Harry: "Great! I'll tell you the details later cuz not even I them right now."

From Harry: "Haha understood."

Harry was sat on the couch, with some crappy reality show playing on the TV, and not to mention a sleeping Louis with his head on Harry's lap. One of Harry's hand held the remote on the arm rest and the other was slung over Louis' stomach, moving with every steady breath Louis took. Harry turned the TV off and set the remote down on the table beside the couch and placed his hand on Louis' head, dipping it in the different hair strands.

He moved his fingers, playing with the silky brunette hair. Louis had two hours before he had to go to work. Louis had to go to work, that sounded nice. The only problem was that Harry wouldn't be able to see him as much, even though he was living with him.

Louis' work hours were from two to six, and only on the weekdays, making Harry happy that they'll have the weekends all to themselves. And Harry's performance time was started from six till depending on the number of songs he sings. so they will get their own time.

Harry decided that Louis should be given space on the first day, no matter how much he wanted to be there, he knew his presence would make Louis mess up because of nervousness. He'll get pressurized. Of course he didn't want that. So he decided on having a little catching up with the two knuckleheads; namely Niall and Ashton. They hadn't gone out together in a while now.

Louis stirred in his sleep, rolling over, now dipping his face into Harry's stomach causing Harry to chuckle. Louis was in deep sleep, Harry could tell that. Nothing seemed to be waking him up.

Harry admired Louis for a while. How his face looked so calm and innocent, more than when he is awake. How his hair would fall over his eyes. How he would mumble something complete not understandable. Everything he did was utterly endearing.

Harry shot a group message to Niall and Ashton to ask them about going out before the cafe and in a matter on seconds both replied positively. Harry thought it was about time to wake the sleeping beauty up.

"Lou. Lou. Wake up." Harry shook Louis' shoulder only to get a slap on his hand by a still sleeping Louis. Harry was left baffled. He still shook his head and continued waking him up.

"Come on, love. You gotta go to work. Louis, come on. Wake up." Harry ended up whining. Louis mumbled something but his eyes remained closed.

Harry sighed in disbelieve. He never knew Louis was such a heavy sleeper. Harry dipped his head down and kissed Louis' forehead, earning a little movement from him. He then kissed his exposed cheek getting the same thing in response. He kissed his nose, cheekbones and eye lids, basically peppering all of his exposed face with small yet loving kisses. Louis stirred and rubbed his eyes with his hands curled in balls. To Harry, he looked like a cute little kitten.

"Wakey wakey, sweetheart."

"What time is it?" Louis asked with a rugged voice, normally the voice he has after just waking up. But it was beautiful to Harry, then again everything he does is beautiful to Harry.

"Almost noon. Two hours till your first day at work." Harry smiled and Louis beamed at the fact.

"Thank you again for it."

"Anytime baby." Louis smiled at the name. He still hasn't gotten up from his position giving Harry a sense of happiness. Louis seemed to be opening a lot to Harry. He was still a hell lot of insecure but he still accepted any sort of embrace from Harry, and only Harry.
