I'm Trying - Larry Stylinson Fanfiction

Chapter 6 - Making Him Happy Again

Louis woke up a bit earlier than Harry. The rest of the boys were alredy downstairs but he wanted to just stay in bed with Harry. Butterflies were still in his stomach from the way Harry held him last night. He held him closley for nearly the whole night and Louis was excstatic. A yawn cam from Harry's mouth and he fluttered his eyes open tiredly. It was a beautiful thing to watch. Louis quickly rubbed at his eyes as if he'd just woken up and then smiled at Harry. He smiled back and sat up and stretched then checked his phone for the time.

"What time is it?" Louis mumbled.

"One" Harry chuckled.

One? That was quite late . He was supposed to be going shopping with Lottie at half past but that would have to be reschedueled for later in the day.

"I can't believe i slept until one" Louis groaned. more than often on one of his bad days he would stay awake till six in the morning then wake up at three so one was ok with him.

"You didn't get much sleep so it'll have done you good" Harry said smiling.

Louis looked down at his lap in embarrassment and Harry noticed.

"I'm sorry for last night Harry reall-"

Harry chuckled again and sighed sympathetically.

"You don't need to keep saying sorry Lou , honestly it's fine" he said.

Louis nodded and both of the boys got up and trudged downstairs sleepily to meet the others.

"Finally , i've been waiting for you to get the breakfast goin" Niall moaned at Harry.

"I thought i slept in late" Zayn chuckled.

Louis plonked himself down next to Liam at the kitchen table and smiled.

"Nice sleep?" Louis asked.

Liam nodded and took a swig of orange juice.

"Yea but i'm starving" he laughed.

Harry came into the kitchen and opened the fridge. He pulled out a packet of bacon , eggs , sausages and then got the bread and beans out of the cupboard.

"Guess i should start cooking then" he said.

While the bacon was frying , Louis and Liam got some plates and put them on the kitchen table for evryone along with a glass each and cutlery.

"Are those Harry's pants?" Liam asked confused.

Great. Now Louis was going to have to tell his best mate he'd pissed the bed since Harry was listening in.

Louis nodded and Liam waited for an answer.

"Had to change mine" he mumbled , sitting down again.

Louis' cheeks blushed and Liam sat next to him. Harry made it look as though he wasn't paying attention to their conversation to save Louis some embarassment.

"Why?" Liam chuckled.

"I er wet the bed" He said awkwarldly.

Liam's eyebrows went up and his eyes widened. He didn't expect Louis to say that since he's never wet the bed before.

"Don't tell the others though " he said softly.

Liam nodded and patted his back.

"I won't , don't worry mate" he said.

Niall and Zayn filed into the room just in time for Harry to put out the breakfast. There was so much food.  Everyoned piled their plates up with bacon and sausage and rounds of toast but Louis simply put and egg on his plate and half a round of toast. He saw the glares of the rest of the boys , particularly Harry and Liam. Liam sighed as he looked at the food one Louis' plate. There was no way he could be full after eating that.

The boys tucked in and Liam kept and eye on Louis. He ate half of the egg and the toast then pushed his plate out and drank some water. He felt relativley good since he'd eaten quite a few meals and snacks in the past week or so and he was very proud. Harry made eye contact with Liam again as they stared at Louis plate. Liam smiled awkwardly and Harry wiped his mouth with a napkin and pushed his chair out while signalling for Liam to follow him.

"Back in a minute , just showing Liam were the loo is" Harry said. 

Louis smiled and thought nothing of it. Even though Liam must have know were the toilet was since he'd been at Harry's for nearly twenty hours.

"Are you full?" Zayn asked.

Louis nodded.

"I had a really big lunch yesterday" Louis laughed.

Niall nodded and grabbed another round of toast. He could eat non stop and not gain much weight and Louis was slightly envious of that.

Harry took Liam into the corridor and made sure none of the other boys , especially Louis , were listening in.

"Liam what's wrong with Lou , does he have an eating problem aswell?" Harry asked sadly although the answer was obvious.

"He doesn't eat much at all but i don't know full details to be honest " Liam sighed.

Harry nodded and Liam looked up.

"What do you mean aswell?" he asked curiously.

Harry didn't know wether or not Liam knew about Louis' self harming so he had to be careful what he said.

"He's really sad" Harry explained.

"I know , how much do you actually know like has he told you anything?" Liam asked.

"I know quite a bit , he sort of broke down when i noticed hi-"

"His arm?" Liam asked sadly.

Harry nodded. At least Liam knew aswell so it was someone for harry to confide and talk to about Louis' well-being.

"He's done it for quite a long time but he gets really bad days" he explained.

"What do you mean bad days?" Harry asked.

"He just doesn't come out at all and he sleeps alot and you know he'll hurt himself quite a bit. I don't really know how bad it gets but everytime i've seen him when he's like that it's really bad" Liam said.

Harry nodded.

"At least we can keep an eye out for him then" Harry said.

Liam nodded again.

"Come on they're gonna think i'm having a shit" Liam laughed.

Harry laughed back and they walked back into the kitchen and sat down again.

Louis checked the time and it was already half two. He sighed knowing he had to get back home soon to see the girls and take Lottie out.

"I'm gonna head off now Haz" Zayn said.

Niall agreed since he was getting a lift off Zayn and they both thanked Harry before leaving.

"We'll have to go in about half an hour Louis , i'm gonna go and get ready" Liam said.

Louis got up and collected the dishes. He was about to put them in the sink and offer to do them but Harry was already loading the dishwasher. He was glad the other boys had left before them because he needed to get his pants.

Harry opened the washer and facepalmed himself.

"I forgot to put the drier on Lou , they're still wet" he said.

Louis stood not really knowing what to say.

"You can come back for them later if you want , i'll be in about sevenish"Harry said.

"Thanks." Louis said.

Harry shut the washer and leaned back against the worktop when Louis hugged hm forcefully. It took him a second to process what just happened and when he did , he wrapped his arms around Louis.

"You ok Lou?" Harry chuckled.

Louis nodded and pulled away with tears brimming in his eyes.

"Sorry , just thanks for helping me and stuff because it really helps" he admitted.

Harry's heart melted with joy. He was heloing Louis and making him happy again.
