The Animator (Larry Stylinson)

CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR - INFORMATION

As Harry woke up with Louis around him, he couldn't help but smile happily into the pillow beneath him. Light was just beginning to come through the window lighting up the room in a gentle glow.

He felt a little giddy, like he'd just woken up from the best dream he'd ever had before. If it wasn't for Louis' arms around him he'd have believed it was one.

He knew he wasn't dreaming when he heard knocking on the door followed by the loud and rather obnoxious voice of Niall.

"Come on, wake up. You were the ones wanting to go this morning." Niall was calling out, "And I'm never sharing with that damn tea pot again, he got on my head in the night and I thought I was going to suffocate and then he started spraying me randomly with water before finally managing to pull my sheets off."

"Go away," Louis groaned into Harrys neck and he smiled.

"I'm going to go shove him into the room with Max and have done with him." Niall called out.

"Leave Ferdinand alone." Harry groaned.

"Are you decent?" Niall called through again, still knocking randomly on the door. Louis nuzzled into Harrys neck and sighed loudly.

"We're covered." Harry called back, they were obviously quite naked but they were covered by the blanket at least so as the door opened Harry simply watched as Niall shoved Ferdinand into the room with a hand covering his eyes still.

"Really though," He said getting up from the floor, still covering his eyes, "We should think about leaving."

"We'll pack up the caravan, make it a bit more homely in case it's a long trip." Harry yawned and then snickered as Niall turned to leave the room and ended up smacking into the door frame.

"Ow," Niall muttered feeling about with his free hand to the door. Harry watched on amused as Ferdinand followed Niall out watching him curiously and as the door closed Niall gave a loud shout of annoyance and the door once again opened.

Ferdinand was pushed back in but Niall didn't come into the room. The door closed behind Ferdinand who looked around, saw Harry smiling at him and trotted over to him.

"Good Ferdinand." Harry muttered letting one of his arms hang down from the bed to pet the teapot before he picked him up and turned in Louis' arms putting Ferdinand between them.

"Hi," Louis muttered sleepily and Harry smiled widely placing Ferdinand between their chest where he settled down happily.

"Morning." Harry replied and he kissed Louis' forehead. "We should think about getting up and getting the caravan ready."

"And breakfast, I'm starving." Louis muttered his eyes opening, squinting slightly in the light.

"Me too," Harry agreed and he ran his hand through Louis' hair pushing it from his face with a smile as Louis closed his eyes contently. "I wish for once we could have a lazy day and do nothing."

"That would be the best," Louis said opening his eyes once more to look into Harrys. "Once this is over, we can have many lazy days. And other adventure filled ones. We can do everything and anything we want."

His hands were running along Harrys back soothingly and Harry found himself smiling, the thought of that enough to give him enough motivation to get himself through all this. He wanted nothing more than to finally be able to live a normal life.

"I'm going to shower, I feel all dirty." Harry muttered and kissed Louis' forehead again, Louis' eyes closing as he sighed a happy sigh. Harry smiled too and He moved to sit up, grunting slightly as a very uncomfortable feeling accompanied it.
