HARRY'S P.O.V.

I know that running into the same person isn't likely but he could be planning his next attack this minute. I couldn't sleep knowing the man could be plotting against us and it seems that Louis couldn't either. There was an awkward silence that filled the air for a while before I broke it. "Can I clean your cuts?"
He looked down at himself before replying "Sure, I guess" He scooted closer while I got the cleaning fluid, a rag, and some bandages. I poured the fluid onto the rag and warned him that it will sting. Slowly, I put the rag against the cut on his left eyebrow and he winced. "Sorry" I apologized.
"It's ok" he muttered. "I love caring for people," I stated "ever since I was younger I always loved the idea of healing people. I always wanted to feel that satisfaction of making someone feel brand new again" It was always easy imagining my future job. Ever since Mika, all I've ever wanted to do was help other people in need. I didn't tell Louis that though, not that I didn't trust him, I do, but just because it wasn't the right time and I didn't really want false pity.
"That's lovely," he smiled "I think my dream job would have been owning a little tea store". His smile made my heart flutter. After cleaning the wounded boys cuts I offered to keep watch while he slept for a while. He walked over to his safety pack and took out a mini toothbrush and squeezed the handle. A drop of toothpaste instantly went on the brush and he brushed his teeth before laying in his sleeping bag, wincing as he adjusted. "Are you ok?" I wandered. "Yea, just sore is all" I nodded my head and sat in the corner of the tent, keeping watch. I kept finding myself staring at Louis' sleeping body. His chest going up and down at even intervals, his mouth parted slightly, and his eyes closed. He looked so peaceful. I made a promise to myself that no matter what I would do my best to keep him safe and by my side. After what seemed to be about four hours I found myself falling asleep. I really didn't want to wake Louis because he looked so cozy and comfortable and I knew he was tired from the day but I couldn't keep my eyes open any longer and I didn't want to run the risk of falling asleep while on duty. Finally, making up my mind I crawled over to Louis and gently pat his shoulder. He mumbled something in his sleep and turned to lay on his side. After shaking him for a few more minutes he woke up. "Hey" he smiled, his voice filled with sleep. "hi, I didn't want to wake you and I'm sorry for doing so but I'm falling asleep. Do you mind keeping watch for about an hour?" I questioned. He nodded and sat up, and began to stretch. He sat up and rubbed his eyes while I entered my own sleeping bag, Louis humming tunes until I fell asleep.
