Chapter 10

TRIGGER WARNING: HOMOPHOBIA, ABUSE

-

"Louis let go of me! I have to go piss!" Louis could hear Niall's voice in his sleepy state. 

"No." Louis said, clinging onto Niall afraid that he'll feel cold if he lets go of him. He had his arms wrapped around Niall's neck and legs around his waist, holding onto him like a koala would onto an eucalyptus tree.

"Louis I'm serious, let go of me!" Niall pleaded and tried to pry his arms off of him with no luck.

"Oh god, I promise you that I'll be back as fast as I can just PLEASE." Niall almost screamed. Louis finally gave up, mumbling about how mean he was being and at last got off of him, hugging himself to try and keep warm. 

Niall was up and out of bed in seconds rushing out to get to the bathroom, rolling his eyes at Louis' statement. They both knew that Niall definitely wouldn't be back and would've just forgotten about his promise in seconds.

And Louis takes promises very seriously. 

He tossed and turned around in the bed trying to get comfortable enough. He gave up after a few minutes and was now wide awake, sitting up straight with his chin resting on his knees and staring unblinkingly at the wall in front of him.

He smiled as last nights memories flooded into his mind. Sure he did sort of ruin it all by being so stubborn but it isn't something he could control, right? And then his late night talk with Niall, could it be? He couldn't help but get his hopes up all over again. Really should work on getting his emotions in control...

After several more minutes of waiting, Louis finally gave up and got out of bed, going to the bathroom himself to brush his teeth and freshen up a bit. Changing into his day cloths, he walked down the stairs to the living room where Liam, Zayn and Niall were sitting in the couch, looking like he'd just gotten up themselves.

He stood staring at Niall, gaze deep set on him.

"I was hungry boo." Niall groaned. "And I still am!"

"Is Hazzie still sleeping?" Louis yawned. Morning baths have never been able to wake him up proper.

"No, he volunteered to make breakfast for us." Liam said. Louis' eyes lit up bright at the thought of Harry's food and rushed over to the kitchen to watch.

Harry had just finished his last pancake and was flipping it over onto the plate when Louis made his entrance.

"Good morning Hazzie!" Louis said cheerfully skipping over towards him, gasping at what he saw. "You made pancakes?!I love pancakes!"

"Good morning princess." Harry smiled brightly and showed him his work. "A little birdie just told me that you love them and the kind person that I am, I decided to make them, just for you!"

Louis smiled back, truly happy for what he'd done for him. He helped him pile them out onto the table with a huge bottle of maple sauce, plates and forks. He hummed along to a random tune while setting up the table for 5.

"Hazzy?" Louis called out right after the last plate was set. Harry hummed back to show that he was listening, putting off the dirty pan into the sink to wash for later.

"Why do you call me princess?" Louis said slowly with hands behind his back, asking the question he'd meant to ask ever since the first day. "I-I mean, I'm a boy so it should be prince right?"

"Why love, does it bother you?" Harry asked turning around. 

"N-no, I kind of like it actually....but why?"
