At 6:05 pm Harry emerged downstairs and in the dinning room. He was 5 minutes late to dinner and as he walked in everyone turned and stared at him. And it was at that moment that he realized that he was in the room of possibly the world's most dangerous people and he possibly just pissed them off by being late.

Harry's eyes met Louis' icy blue ones and he noticed him motion for him to come sit in the empty chair next to him.

"You're late," Louis says in a pointed tone as Harry sat down in the seat next to him.

"I know Loui- sir, I'm sorry," Harry said looking down at his lap. Not even daring to make eye contact with anyone else in room.

"It's fine you're here now. Just don't let it happen again, or there will be consequences. And look up, don't slouch," Louis said in a harsh whisper and reached out to lift Harry's face up. When Louis touched Harry's face, he felt butterflies explode in his stomach and his cheeks instantly turning pink. "Go on and introduce yourself to everyone," Louis tells him and all Harry could do was just look at him like he was crazy. Which could actually be a possibility but that was besides the point. All Louis did was give Harry a reassuring smile and cleared his throat, causing the side conversations at the table to stop and for all eyes to be on Harry once again.

"Um hi, I'm Harry Styles. Thank you all for letting me stay here," Harry said shyly and as soon as he stopped speaking, instantly feeling Louis' hand reassuringly rubbing his leg. It was a nice feeling.

"Fuddgeaboutit son, it's no sweat off our backs. Just don't cause any problems. We don't like problems," spoke the Boss with a loud laugh causing the rest of the men and women at the table to join in.

"Uncle Will-" Louis warned and Harry swore he saw the intimidating Mafia boss actually soften at the words of his nephew.

"Don't worry about the boys Harry, they just love to joke," said a woman to the left of him that he had yet to know. "I'm the godmother, but you can just call me Kathryn, I'm Lou's aunt," she said in a whisper and gave Harry a warm smile. Harry just nodded and quietly thanked her, when she told him that they should have some tea together sometime soon.

Harry suddenly felt a tapping on his leg and turned to face Louis, who was starring at him so intensely Harry swore that Louis would be able to see straight into his mind.

"I haven't told you who everyone is yet, you must be bloody confused," Louis said with a chuckle. "This is obviously Zayn and Liam," he said pointing to the two boys next to him that Harry had briefly met last night. "And as you now know, my wonderful aunt Kathryn," Louis said fondly "and my uncle William, the big boss." Harry nodded as Louis continued to name off the five other capos sitting at the table. They were interesting to say the least, they all looked dangerous but when they started to speak, they were just like normal people. Harry still looked tense and nervous at the table and Louis wanted him to relax, wanted to see him smile. His gorgeous smile. "Want to hear some funny things?"

"Mhm always," Harry said a small smirk already starting to form on his lips.

"You know on the streets they call Liam 'Big Payno' Payne and Zayn 'Moneybags' Malik," Louis said hoping the goofy street nicknames would make the boy next to him laugh. And they did! Mission:accomplished.

"Oi, Tomlinson if you're gonna be talking about street names why don't you tell your boy 'bout how they call you Tommo the Tease," Zayn said with a wicked smile causing Harry to choke on the piece of bread he was currently eating. He definitely didn't need to be imagining Louis edging him towards an orgasm in front of everyone.

"Zayn! You have a death wish I swear!" Liam said in utter and complete shock that Zayn just revealed that to Harry. It of course was true, Louis was known as a tease-in many different ways. But Liam was sure that Louis wouldn't want Harry thinking about him in that way.

"Awh Liam you know little Loubear would never hurt me," Zayn said busting up laughing as he continued to tease his best friend. This time Zany's nickname caused Harry to snort and then bust into an uncontrollable fit of laughter. All Louis did was pout and of course Harry noticed.

"Don't be upset Louis, I personally quite like Loubear," Harry whispered into his ear. First of all Louis obviously couldn't stay mad now, especially because Harry told him not to be. And second of all, he now desperately needed to distract himself from imagining Harry whispering other types of things to him. Otherwise he would be not so proudly sporting a boner in front of everyone in the room.

Dinner had ended and was rather pleasant but now Louis had returned to his office to finish up some last minute work that he really didn't feel like doing. Suddenly he heard a soft knock on his door.

"Come in," Louis huffed. Yet instantly regretted it when he saw Harry's face poking in.

"Oh, I can um come back later. You look busy," Harry said and started to leave before he even really came in.

"No no, Harry please come in," Louis said hoping that Harry didn't hear the hint of desperation in his voice. "What's up?"

"I was just bored and I uh, put together that list of changes that I want for my room and I was going to ask you-ugh, it's silly nevermind," Harry said shaking his head and shyly slipping the list on to Louis' desk.

"No Harry, tell me."

"Iwaswonderingifyouwantedtopossiblywatcha
filmwithme," Harry said doing that thing again where he talks so fast you can hardly understand him.

"I'd love to curly, why don't you just go sit over there for a second while I finish this up and then we can head up to the theater," Louis said smiling at Harry and pointing to the sofa on the other side of his office. Louis thinks that it's been at least 3 years since he's smiled this much.

"Curly?" Harry asked suspiciously, raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah, it's my new nickname for you," Louis said shooting Harry a wink.

Shortly after the two boys went to watch a movie together. Harry had picked out Love Actually and had grabbed a few snacks for them.

And if Harry fell asleep on Louis before the movie was over and if Louis took a picture of him because he looked so cute sleeping on top of him, well no one would have to know that.

Funny story, I was playing around with a mob name generator for this chapter and I typed in Louis Tomlinson to get a nickname for him and the first one that came up with was Louis 'Shorty' Tomlinson. When I tell you I died laughing.
