ever since catching his dads in the act a few days ago, harry's been feeling really weird. he still couldn't quite understand what meant this for him. he's been trying to figure out why he he felt this way. he was just so confused, and his recent behavior didn't go unnoticed. zayn was the first to pick up on it. for the past a few days, he noticed that harry was quiet, and a bit distant from the family. it was strange, harry was usually always engaging with everyone and very hyperactive.

another thing he noticed was harry's lack of affection. he's always so open about expressing his love and affection to his family— hugs, kisses, cuddles, but lately he's just not been doing that so much. even when he did, he would just give zayn quick hug, or a brief kiss on the cheek. he would sit away from his dads on the couch and not cuddle them like usually does when they are together, and he refused to kiss them on the mouth anymore. it was just a strange sudden change.

but then what made it more obvious that something was wrong, was when he started to act out of character. he was a lot more bratty than normal, and getting upset at his siblings and dads over every small thing. harry did have his days, but normally he was good and always happy. and soon everyone else started to notice as well that harry was not his normal self.

"alright haz, it's time to get out of the pool and get dried up. dinner should be ready soon." liam says as he steps out onto the patio watching his youngest mess around in the pool. harry's had practically been outside in the pool all day. it was getting late now and liam could tell harry's skin was becoming all pruny from being in the water too long.

"no papa, i wanna stay longer." harry tells him, nod even looking at him as he continues to swim about in the pool.

"it's a school night love, you need to get dried off off so you can eat dinner and get ready for bed." liam tells him.

"but, i'm not hungry papa."

"harry, you've been in the pool all day, c'mon, get out." liam says again. harry pouts, shaking his head. liam gives him a stern look. "harry."

"no, i wanna stay." harry crosses his arms, with a stubborn look on his face. liam sighs, not understanding why harry was being difficult.

"harry, get out now. you have school in the morning and you need to eat your dinner and go to bed." liam tells him one last night.

"no!" harry yells, smacking the water, making it splash around him, just as zayn walks outside. zayn already has his eyes already fixated on harry as he had heard harry disobeying liam before he came out here.

"harry edward." zayn hisses. harry jumps when he hears zayn's voice all of a sudden. "you do not speak to your papa like that." zayn says firmly, narrowing his eyes at harry who shrinks under his gaze. he had heard enough of harry disobeying liam. "now, get out of the pool and come here." zayn tells him. just like that, harry listened to him immediately— he had a bit of a weak spot for zayn, and he'll be damned if he disobeyed him. harry swam over to the edge to get out, walking over to to them, but not without an attitude. he stops in front of zayn, crossing his arms, a stank look on his face. "fix your face."

harry hmphs, slightly relaxing his face, but he still has this defiant look, and his lip still jolted out in a pout, as he glared at the ground. zayn sighs, he really doesn't know what's gotten into harry, but he needed to figure it out right now. he didn't like when harry behaved this way. he was just too innocent and too sweet. zayn tells liam to go get the other two, and that they'd be down for dinner soon, before he grabs harry by the hand and pulls him into the house and up to harry's room.
