Self-isolation in the Styles-Tomlinson household

Part 5

The past few days have been quite busy in the Tomlinson-Styles household.

Harry was set to record multiple radio interviews while Louis has been in contact with his management, discussing the next steps to proof that he's in quarantine with his 'girlfriend'.

Some selfies and the dogs are involved but he knows that his fans won't fall for that.

Louis quickly snaps a selfie for his Instagram story, to not only show his fans that he's indeed alive and well, but also to warn them for what's going to come next.

He looks at the picture and finds himself looking quite sad but clean shaven and his blue eyes become even more prominent with the blue of his sweater.

His face immediately lights up though, as his husband enters the room with a smile on his face.

He sits himself down next to Louis on the couch and wraps his arms around his middle.

"I missed you" Harry mumbles.

"It's been an hour and I've been just in the room next to you love" Louis says with a chuckle.

"Still, it's been too long" Harry says as he presses a kiss to Louis' neck.

"Well I missed you too" Louis says with a kiss to Harry's curly hair.

"Wanna know what's on the list today?" Harry says after a few minutes of silence.

"Do I?" Louis asks with a smirk.

"Heyy. You're gonna love it" Harry says.

"Okay what is it baby?" Louis asks.

"We are going to bake" Harry says excitingly.

"You mean you are going to bake and I sit on the counter and watch because else it's going to burn" Louis says.

"No Lou. We are going to do this together. Cosmo says, baking with your partner strengthens the soul of your relationship" Harry states.

"Oh god" Louis says with a low chuckle.

"Come on. Gonna get us some aprons and then we will bake a cake. And we can decorate it" Harry says with an excited smile and as if Louis could say 'no' to that.

They quickly make their way into the kitchen, put on their aprons and Harry starts to get out the needed ingredients.

"Lou, can you get a measure cup, some sugar and a bowl please" Harry asks but notices quickly that Louis isn't moving at all.

"Lou?" Harry asks again. "I don't know where we put that" Louis says with a lost expression.

"We've been living here for years" Harry says with a laugh.

"Hey don't make fun of me. I know the basics. I know where the tea is and the snacks and the cereal" Louis says while he points around the kitchen.

Harry just giggles at that with a small "oh lou" before he shows Louis where the needed supplies are.

It's like Harry becomes alive while he bakes, he's completely in his element as he tries to explain to Louis what they're going to do next.

"And you know, I used to be a baker" Harry says every now and then, to which Louis just playfully rolls his eyes.

"And now Lou, you just whisk the ingredients together while I heat the oven" Harry says he hands Louis the bowl.

After a few minutes of just staring at the whisk and the bowl Louis asks in a small voice "Haz?".

"Yes Lou?" Harry responds with a smirk on his face.

"How do you whisk?" Louis asks with a frown.

"Come here" Harry says as he steps behind Louis and wraps his arms around him. He puts his hand on Louis' and whisks with him.

"Easy right?" Harry asks with a small kiss to Louis' cheek to which Louis just scoffs.

After they put the cake in the oven, they start with the icing.

Louis has now managed to be a bit better at whisking and helps a lot with the icing. Harry tries to not get distracted by the way that Louis' biceps bulges and how prominent his veins are.

But Harry is a weak man, making him suddenly grab Louis' face and pull him into a sloppy kiss.

The icing is soon forgotten as they snog against the kitchen counter.

Louis has other plans though, as he puts some of the icing on his fingers and smears them right across Harry's cheek.

"Eww Lou" Harry says to which Louis just giggles.

What he didn't expect was for Harry to smear some icing right on his nose and his forehead, up to his hair.

"Harold my hair. That means war" Louis says with a low chuckle before he grabs some flour and throws it right at Harry.

It escalates quickly from there and the boys find themselves giggling and full of baking ingredients on the floor.

"Gosh I hate you" Harry says with a giggle as he pulls Louis on top of him.

"To bad that I love you then" Louis says and gives Harry a kiss.

"I love you too" Harry says before he adds "as long as you help me clean this mess up".

"That's never gonna happen" Louis says with a smirk before planting another kiss on Harry's lips and getting up, dragging Harry with him.

The cake is finished just a few minutes later and somehow they still manage to decorate it with some icing and lots of rainbow sprinkles.

Harry writes L+H on it to which Louis only replies with a "sap".

They eventually do clean up with little help of Louis but he does at least wipe the counters.

They decide to let their cake cool down a bit before they're going to eat it.

Louis pulls Harry into a long hug to which Harry replies with "we are messy Lou".

"Wanna take a bath together?" Louis suggest.

"With bubbles?" Harry lights up.

"Of course. I'm gonna let the water in and you choose a bath bomb" Louis says before they make their way to the bathroom.

They get in slowly and despite their height, Harry is lying against Louis' chest.

He's always been the little spoon and even though he's now taller than Louis, that's not gonna change.

They enjoy each other's company as they cuddle close and eventually wash each other's bodies and hair.

After they dried off and put on some comfortable sweatpants, they get their cake from the kitchen and quickly decide to eat it in bed.

Louis goes right into the middle of the cake, much to Harry's dismay.

"Tastes good" Harry states.

"Obviously. Have you seen how I whisked the batter?" Louis asks with a playful smirk on his face.

"Of course Lou. I'm really proud of you" Harry says and Louis can't help the blush that creeps to his face.

They decide to put in a movie and Harry of course picks 'Love Actually' since it's one of their favorites.

For the rest of the night, the boys eat their cake in bed and eventually fall asleep towards the end of the movie, being content in each other's arms.
