"Come on curly, up and at 'em!"

"Lou, no. I don't want to wake up," Harry whined pulling the pillow over his head.

"Mm what was that I couldn't hear you? Did you say 'you want to be tickled until you eat out of bed'?" Louis said jokingly and getting closer to him.

"AH LOU NO! Not even close!" Harry said, quickly jumping up out of the bed.

"Hmm, that's what I thought," Louis said with a small smirk.

"Why are you waking me up so early? It's only like my 3rd day here? What have I done to deserve such cruelty?" Harry asked dramatically as he pulled himself out of the bed. Louis tried to hide his fond smile, he was already really starting to like Harry and his sense of humor.

"Harry, babe, it's noon. You've practically slept the whole day away."

"So do you call everyone babe or is that something that's reserved especially for me? Personally I'd like the latter," Harry boldly asked.

"Oi, don't get cheeky on me now and that's just something you'll have to find out," Louis said with a wink. "But really, we need to get a move on. I'm taking you shopping today, need to get you some clothes of your own and I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to get to know the stranger that's living in my house as of current," Louis joked.

"Really?! Taking me shopping?!"

"Of course, I promised you that on you first night here right? Louis Tomlinson doesn't break his promises. So go on now, go get ready. I'll be waiting downstairs."

"Louis, what are you going to do if you actually fall for this boy?" asked Zayn as the three boys waited for Harry to finish getting ready. "Are you going to bring him into the life? That type of danger? If you lose him, could you handle it?"

"Z, these are really heavy questions and I just met Harry. I don't even know if he's into dudes! Yeah sure he's a bit flirty but that could just be his personality," Louis said shaking his head.

"Yeah for all you know he might not enjoy it up the ass," Liam said crudely.

"LIAM! Not helping!" Louis scolded at his inappropriate friend.

"Just saying mate," Liam said with a shrug.

"You're right in a way, he could be straight as a pole."

"Please I saw how he was looking at you at dinner Lou, practically eating you up in front of everyone," Zayn commented.

"He was not!" Louis interjected.

"Mm sure, you're just oblivious," Zayn said with a smirk. "But in all seriousness Lou, you're my best friend and I don't want to see you hurt. So just be careful with him, okay?"

"Okay mom," Louis said playfully.

"Louis! Be serious please! I have no clue how they let you become CEO of KT Fashion AND a mafia boss, you're mentally like 5," Zayn laughed and Liam joined in.

"Oi, piss off Zayn," Louis said shoving him off the couch. "You too Payno," he said before shoving Liam off as well. The three boys laughed together, it was rare that they got moments like this. Normal moments, happy moments.

As the three of them joked away, they barely noticed Harry come down the stairs and quietly wait by the door. It wasn't until he gently sneezed that Louis' head shot up and he noticed Harry leaning against the door.

"Hey Harry, how long have you been standing there, you ready to go?"

"Not long, just came down. And yeah, despite not really wanting to leave the warm bed. I'm ready," Harry said with a chuckle and rubbed the back of his neck.
