Never Ending | LARRY

Thirty-Four

"Captain! Turn this boat around immediately." Harry roared as he walked with haste towards the main deck. Louis whined, chasing after him. His much smaller strides were no match for Harry's long legs. Naturally, he found himself in a soft jog to keep up.

"Harry please, it's not a big deal. Don't worry... I will learn to sleep, don't worry. We are already half a day on our journey."

Harry stopped walking and turned around. Louis who was not prepared for the man to stop ran straight into his chest with a soft 'thud'.

"Haz, it's the middle of the night... it's fine."

"Lou, you were crying baby. You can't get to sleep."

The small boy looked down at his soft sock covered feet. Harry sighed, moving to rub the boy's arms, he pulled Louis slightly towards him, so the small boy was leaning against his broad chest.

Louis had left his teddy bear at Harry's house, the teddy he could never sleep without. Louis was completely embarrassed. Harry was completely fond and ready to sail back to shore to go and get the bear for the boy.

"Hazzy, it's just... embarrassing."

Harry sighed, picking the boy up without effort and onto his hip. Louis snuggled into his shoulder as the CEO walked towards the lounge area. He sat down, Louis now straddling his hips.

"Lou, baby boy. Don't be embarrassed, because I think it is the cutest of things. I will never judge you because you're absolute perfection. Don't ever be embarrassed."

Louis looked up at Harry, he blinked slowly, nodding. He was tired it was 2 am and he had been crying just before.

"Kissy?" Louis whispered, puckering his lips. 

Harry smiled, pressing his red lips against Louis', the moved in sync and the small boy felt at ease.

"You don't have to ask for kisses darling...." Harry whispered as he let one of his hands fall to Louis' bare thigh, "now babe, let me ask the Captain to return to shore... I won't tell him why. But I would like to make sure my little gem has their teddy. Okay, babe?"

Louis nodded slowly, "take me to bed first?"

Harry just smiled, nodding.

Louis had eventually fallen asleep that night, the following day he woke up to the smell of salt water and birds chirping. He also smelt fresh flowers, opening his eyes he was shocked by the dozens of roses scattered around the room.

Even the blanket over him had rose petals on it. Louis smiled, biting his lip to hold in his smile. Standing up he noticed a note on the bedside table.

To my little cub,

You turn my bad days good, and my good days better. You are my sunshine on a rainy day. I initially thought that you were my happy ending. However, I now realise that true love doesn't have a happy ending, true love is endless. I thought I was dreaming when I first saw you, your soft caramel hair and innocent face, it was the best moment in my life. You are not only my mate Lou, but you are also my best friend.

So, let's create some happy memories.

Lots of love,

Haz.

Louis finished reading the note, little tears welling up in his eyes. What Harry had said in that note was the sweetest thing anyone had ever told him. Just as a tear of happiness slipped down his baby soft cheek, a text arrived from Harry.

Goodmorning cub, I'm in my office. I hope you like your flowers. When they all die, my love will have died for you too. But seeing as one of them is fake, I will have to love you for eternity xxx Come to my office - H

Louis giggled at the silly vampire, clutching his phone to his chest as he raced through the huge ship and towards where he remembered the office was. He was greeted with an open door, and a sly looking Harry leaning against the doorway.

Louis squealed, jumping into Harry's arms.

The vampire smiled, laughing loudly as he spun the tiny boy around in circles.

Louis erupted in giggles before Harry was placing him on the floor once again. Louis stood on the vampires boot covered feet and leant up kissing the man's pouty lips.

"I love you, Harry..."

"I love you so much too cub."
