The next morning Harry woke up with a shiver. He looked around the room and noticed the dark walls, he came to the conclusion that this  definitely wasn't his room. He sat up and saw Louis in the corner on a chair reading a book.

"Morning sleeping beauty," Louis smirked and closed his book.

"Did you sleep there?" Harry asked and motioned for Louis to come and lay down next to him.

"Yeah, I wasn't sure if you'd want me to sleep with you and you fell asleep during the movie and I really didn't want to wake you."

"You know, it would have been fine," Harry said as Louis slid under the blankets.

"Oh really?"

"Really," Harry smiled. "I actually would be very inclined to that idea." Louis smiled at Harry and attacked his neck with soft kisses.

"Well I'm that case, we might have to sleep together tonight. You know, in the most innocent way of course, unless..." Louis said wiggling his eyebrows suggestively.

"Louis William Tomlinson! You dirty boy," Harry said and playfully slapped his chest. Harry didn't mind the thought of sleeping with Louis, in that way. In fact, he had actually thought about it a few times before, the moment just was never right between the two boys.

All Louis could do was smile at Harry, how beautiful he was even in the early hours of the morning. He groaned, remembering that he couldn't lay in bed with him all day as much as he'd like to. He quickly uncovered himself again and pulled himself out of bed.

"Where are you going?" Harry asked with sad eyes.

"Gotta work babe," Louis said with a sigh and moved to his closet to start getting dressed. "I don't know how long this will take, it might be awhile. The members think they're coming over for lunch and a promotion," Louis said laughing. Oh, how far that was from the truth.

"Do you mind if I stay in here? I wouldn't want to be a bother," Harry asked with hopeful eyes. And even if Louis wanted to say no-which he didn't-how could you turn down those puppy eyes?

"Of course Haz, you're not a bother. I'll be down in the gardens if you need me," Louis said and placed a quick peck to his cheek before leaving the room.

Harry waited until Louis left and was in the gardens before getting up and heading downstairs himself. Despite Louis and everyone else in the house assuring him he didn't need to help out, he felt like it. Plus, if Louis finished up with his business early, they would get to spend more time together.

Harry got to work in the kitchen making a special recipe of almond cookies that Gemma had taught him as soon as he could use the oven. The recipe called for cyanide, something that Harry was lucky to have after asking Gemma for some before he left the UK. You never know when it could be handy.

Harry decided to make two batches of cookies one with and without, that way him and Louis could eat some and not look suspicious. Harry was extremely careful, covering his face while cooking, knowing that one too deep of a breathe could kill him. He also made sure to add extra chunks of almond and almond extract to mask the bitter almond taste of cyanide. But after a short 45 minutes the oven finally dinged, signaling the cookies were done.

Harry plated the cookies nicely and slid two of the non-cyanide cookies up his sleeve. He picked up the plate and smiled as he headed for the back garden. Harry spotted Louis sitting down as Zayn, Liam, and Niall stood behind him as backup.

He sat in deep conversation with the three members he was meant to kill. They were so annoying and all Louis could think was how he really wanted to put bullets through their skulls. Louis fake smile faded when he saw Harry walking towards them.

"Thought everyone might be hungry, so I made some cookies," Harry said as he got close enough and sat the tray down. He sat close to Louis only to be pulled on top of his lap and held in a protective grip.

"What are you doing out here?" Louis asked in a harsh whisper. Harry just smiled and took Louis' hand in his own.

"Don't eat the cookies off the tray," he whispered back confusing Louis, as he slipped one of the nonpoisonous cookies into his hand. "Eat that instead," he whispered again before turning to the mob members in front of them. Louis still confused listened to Harry and took a bite of the cookie. Then the others all reached for one off the plate.

"So you're the famous Harry everyone has been talking about," one of them said as they all eyed Harry up and down.

"The one and only," Harry said. He watched as the men ate the cookies, knowing it be only a matter of seconds before the effects hit.

"You picked a good one aye Louis, got yourself a good little house boy," one of the men snickered. Louis gritted his teeth and fought back the urge to shoot him, he didn't want to kill them in front of Harry.

Right as Louis moved to speak, the three members started foaming at the mouths and gasping for breath. Unable to speak they reached and grabbed at the arms of the chairs as they started to convulse and fall to the ground.

Louis watched in amazement and realization. Harry had poisoned the cookies. And he managed to complete Louis' job 10x faster than it was suspected to go. The 5 boys watched for the next three minutes, until the last of the wretched gagging noises died down and the three men laid lifeless on the ground.

"Wow, Louis' made quite the criminal of you yet. First police chases now full on poisonings," Zayn said being the first to speak. Louis was still in shock over the fact that Harry had done it all on his own.

"Actually, I'd give that credit to his sister. You used Gem's special almond cookie recipe, right Haz?" Niall said and Harry just nodded. He was too busy looking at Louis and waiting for any sort of response from him to answer Niall.

"Why did you do it H?" Louis finally said.

"Oh, are you mad? I though-"

"No not mad, quite proud actually. I would have never even thought about poisoning them. But why? I thought you didn't want to be involved in this type of stuff again," Louis said softly. Sensing a moment coming on, Liam cleared his throat and pulled Zayn and Niall away.

"You're going to think it's silly, but I figured the faster you finished the more time we could spend together," Harry said as a blush was already rising to his cheeks. "And I don't mind being involved, I just didn't want to take over my fathers place one day. Imagine me, a mob boss," Harry said chuckling.

"That would be a site to see, you're too precious to be a mob boss. But you know what you'd be perfect at one day?" Louis said smirking.

"What?" Harry asked, a smile already on his face even though Louis hadn't said anything.

"My boyfriend."
