Louis just finished talking on the phone when Harry came back to his room after a shower. Louis smiled softly as Harry turned towards the bed and looked at him. Harry took out some new underwear, sweatpants and a sweater from his closet. He looked over at Louis who still looked at him and quickly threw the towel over Louis' head while he took on his clothes.

"What? Now I can't even see my own boyfriend?" Louis laughed and removed the towel.

"Not naked." Harry giggled as he struggled to find his head out of the sweater. Louis chuckled and got up from the bed to help Harry.

"You know I saw before the towel landed on my head, right?" Louis said with a smirk on his lips as Harry's head popped out of the collar on the sweater.

Harry blushed and crawled into bed with Louis following him. Harry let Louis lay down first so he could curl up against his side and put his head on Louis' chest. Louis played with Harry's curls that was still wet from the shower. They laid in silence. Eventually Anne walked into the room and placed a tray with two cups of hot chocolate with mini marshmallows in it, just the way Harry loved it. Both of the two boys thanked her as she left and pulled themselves up. Louis was sitting with his back against the headboard while Harry leaned his back against the wall and had his legs over Louis'. Neither of them had talked about the incident that occurred at the house just a couple of hours ago.

"I'm so glad that I came home one day earlier to surprise you." Louis said all of a sudden and Harry looked up at him from his cup. Harry licked his lips and nodded.

"Me too..." He whispered and bit his lip. He was still slightly in shock and scared about what had happened. Which Louis noticed and he bit his lip as he looked at Harry whose eyes stared forward, totally unfocused.

"I'm sorry, we don't have to talk about it.." Louis said in a calmer voice and let his hand on one of Harry's knees to get back his attention. Harry shook his head.

"It's alright." Harry took another sip of his hot chocolate and swallowed hard, and loud enough for Louis to hear it.

"I think they followed me.." Harry mumbled after a while and Louis looked confused at him. Harry looked back at Louis. "I walked to that little grocery store to buy soup and I think they followed me from there."

"Do you know who they were?" Louis asked and Harry shook his head in response.

Louis bit on his thumbnail while he was thinking. He really wanted to catch those idiots. Not only because they broke his windows and broke into his house while he wasn't there. But also because of what they did to Harry. Even though he had no idea what they had done, if they had done anything other than scaring the life out of Harry. But the way Louis found Harry curled up in his bed and that scream out of pure fear was something that he wouldn't be able to forget, no matter how hard he tried. And he didn't even want to think about what might have happened if he didn't get there. What if the thought of surprising Harry wouldn't have crossed his mind? Then he would've showed up the next day and God knows how or where Harry would be. Louis sighed and tried to shake the thoughts out of his head. He looked over at Harry and opened his arms for him. Harry smiled softly and crawled into Louis' arms after placed his empty cup on the nightstand. He wrapped his arms around Louis' waist and let his head on his chest. That's when he remembered. Harry lifted his head quickly and leaned over Louis as he tried to reach for his phone that laid on the edge of the nightstand. Louis looked down at Harry confused with raised eyebrows. 

"What are you doing?" Louis asked once Harry sat up properly next to Louis with his phone in his hands.

"I took pictures." Harry began as he looked through the pictures in his camera roll. Most of them were blurry but he managed to find one that wasn't as blurry as the others and handed the phone to Louis.

"What's this? Who's that?" Louis asked as he zoomed in on the three figures, especially on the one facing the camera.

"It's those guys that came to your house... I didn't know what to do so I took pictures of them but then they saw me and that's when I ran upstairs." Harry explained while playing with his rings and looked up at Louis who was smiling.

"This is perfect, babe."

"Yeah, the camera is pretty good on this phone."

"No! I mean, you got one of them on picture. It's easier to catch them now!" Louis chuckled and gently ruffled Harry's hair. Harry pouted since he couldn't see Louis anymore because of the hair in his eyes. Louis chuckled again and fixed Harry's hair by pushing his backwards. "Is it okay if I send this to my management so they can show it to the cops?"

Harry nodded in response and Louis quickly picked up his phone to call his manager.

Once Louis came back after the phone call Harry was laying on his back in the middle of his small bed. Louis smiled and climbed on top of him. Louis slid his hand under Harry's sweater and started pecking Harry on his cheek when he felt Harry's hands around his waist and Harry smiled brightly, facing the nightstand. Louis looked in the direction of the nightstand then he chuckled and shook his head. Harry took his phone in his hands and showed Louis the picture he had just taken of them, since he had timed the camera while Louis climbed on top of him.

Harry and Louis laid in Harry's small bed sideways so they could face each other. The only thing between their faces was their hands. Louis had taken Harry's hand in his and intertwined their fingers after placing them between their faces. Louis had his hand with the back of it against the pillow and Harry's hand on top of his. Louis looked at Harry and smiled.

"What are you doing tomorrow?" He asked in a whisper since it was late and both Anne and Gemma had went to bed. Even though neither of their bedrooms were next to Harry's, they wouldn't risk waking them up. Harry looked at Louis and sighed.

"Normally I would work, but since I got fired... I'm doing nothing, why?"

"I'm guessing I won't even need to ask but Imma do it anyway. Wanna hang with me tomorrow? Follow me to my soundcheck and all that?"

Harry smiled brightly and nodded his head. Louis chuckled and blew some curls out of Harry's face.

"So when do you wanna tell me about what happened at the restaurant?" Louis asked and raised his eyebrows. Harry sighed and bit his lip.

"How much do you know?"

"Basically nothing more than that someone approached you with questions about me? And now you kinda gave it away that you got fired."

Harry nodded and took a deep breath before he recounted everything that had happened. And as he expected, it made Louis furious. He just couldn't understand how or why it was so funny for other people to target Harry. And for what? For hanging out with him in public? Because it wasn't like anyone would've found out about them. They didn't kiss in public. They didn't hold hands in public. The most affectionate thing they ever did was hugging, and a hug couldn't be that big of a deal.
