Harry Sickfics {L.S}

Sick

Harry giggled as he zoomed his new toy plane through the air, racing in circles around the small empty space just off to the side of their film site. He wished he could play with Daddy too, because Daddy was so much fun, and always made all these sounds and movements that made it seem more real, but Daddy was busy at work.

"Haz?" Louis called as he stepped away from the other cast mates, smiling at the way the younger male perked up eagerly at the sound of his voice.

"Daddy!" Harry chirped happily, running over to launch himself at the elder, squealing in ecstatic laughter as Louis swung him up into his arms with a little bounce.

"Hi baby, what are you doing?"

"I was just thinking, Daddy. I like playing with you, 'cause you're so much fun! Are you still busy, Daddy, 'cause I want you to play with me, and make all the plane sounds-" Louis chuckled fondly at his boy, planting a kiss on his flushed cheeks, frowning as Harry broke off into a light cough.

"Are you feeling alright, baby?" He asked softly, gently brushing windswept bangs back away from his eyes.

"Uh huh!" Harry agreed with a wide grin, breaths rattling a little in his chest as he panted slightly. Louis pursed his lips worriedly, not liking the way his breathing sounded- he would have to keep an eye on it, though hopefully it was just caused by the slight chill in the air.

"How about you come have a little rest first hmm? Let's get you some water too, alright, darling?" Harry pouted, but sipped obediently at his water when his daddy handed his bottle to him.

"Time for bed, baby." Louis called softly to Harry, reaching out for the smaller lad as he tottered into the room after him, dressed in a fuzzy blue dinosaur onesie.

"How are you feeling, Hazza?" He asked, brows furrowed with concern as the boy broke into light coughing again, sliding a palm under his bangs to feel for his temperature.

"Fine, Daddy."

"Okay. If you start to feel yucky, you have to tell Daddy though, alright?" Harry hummed in agreement, flopping limply against his side as he yawned widely.

"Alright, goodnight Boo." Louis whispered lowly, pressing a kiss to the crown of his head as Harry smiled up sleepily at him.

"Daddy. Daddy, wake up please." Louis groaned quietly as he was shaken awake, blinking blearily in the darkness of his room. He turned slightly to face his intruder, propping himself into an upright position at the sight of a teary Harry by his bedside.

"Baby? Wha- What's wrong?"

"Daddy, it hurts." Harry whimpered pitifully, curling up into a tight ball with one small hand pressed against his ribs.

"Where, sweetheart? Where does it hurt?" Louis urged anxiously, hands roaming helplessly down Harry' back, wishing desperately that he could take the pain from his baby. Harry let out another sad whimper, fat tears rolling down his cheeks as he gestured to his rib area. Louis gasped, scrambling to throw on stray items of clothing littering his floors, Harry breaking out into light sobbing as Louis scooped him up into his arms, rushing him out into the car to take him to the hospital.

"Okay, baby. It's going to be okay, Daddy's going to fix this." Louis murmured soothingly, rubbing at the lithe boy's back in the way he knew was comforting to him.

"Daddy-" Harry choked out quietly, Liam rushing over to him from where he'd been sitting in the armchair they'd dragged in by his bedside so that they could keep close to him at night.

"Hey Haz. You okay, sweetheart?" He murmured, pulling the covers higher up and tucking them gently around the poorly male, smiling softly down at Harry as he blinked up tearily at him.

"Da-Where's Daddy?"

"He's sleeping, sweetheart. Me and Ni are here to watch over you while he does though, is that okay?" Harry chewed on his lip hesitantly, sniffling quietly as he offered a small unsure nod. He loved his uncle Li and uncle Ni, but it just wasn't the same- he didn't feel good and he wanted his daddy.

But he knew that Daddy was tired too, because Daddy had been kept up all these nights taking care of him, and so.

So-

Harry doubled over in pain as a harsh cough ripped from his throat, letting out feeble mewls for his daddy as his body convulsing under the force of his coughs, jarring his already bruised ribs. He barely registered Liam leaving the room to fetch Louis, having squirmed away from his touch as he struggled to breathe between his violent sobs.

"Da-Daddy." He bleated desperately, cries growing in volume as he fought to take enough air in, face wet from the rivers of tears streaming down his cheeks.

"Hazza! Oh sweetheart," Louis gasped as he hurried to his side, scooping the distraught boy up into his arms as he reached up for him. Holding him gently against his body, Louis cooed softly into his ear in an attempt to calm the panicked male, swaying around the room in a slow circle as he ran a comforting palm down the tense ridges of Harry' back.

"It's okay, love. Daddy's here, baby. You're okay, just breathe with Daddy." He let out a relieved breath as his words seemed to take effect, the young boy's cries easing with another lap of the room and his body no longer trembling.

"There we go, darling. You're okay."

"Daddy." Harry mumbled, laying his weary head down against his daddy's strong shoulders, sinking into the comfort of the elder's warm embrace and reassuring touch. Louis hummed questioningly, peeking down when he received no reply, just the soft huffs of sleep against his neck as his poor boy dropped back off into sleep. He looked up at the sound of footsteps, Liam gesturing towards Harry silently in an offer to help.

Louis paused for a moment, smiling apologetically at the other male as Harry let out another small whine for daddy in his unconscious state, snuggling in closer to his warmth. Liam smiled back in understanding, tilting his head to convey that he would be outside if he needed help before padding out of the room.

"Da..." Harry snuffled, one small fist coming to rest lightly on his other shoulder. Louis smiled affectionately despite the worry he felt gnawing in his gut, leaning down to press a kiss against the flushed tear stained skin. He whispered in quiet reassurance to the sleeping male, slowly lowering himself back into bed with Harry settled securely on his chest.

"Daddy's here, boo, daddy's here."
