Harry pouts as he and Louis laze on the couch, Louis on his phone, smiling at whoever he is texting, Harry assumes Charlie and Harry just laying on the couch, tapping his fingers against his stomach. "I am bored..."

Louis immediately shuts off his phone and moves his attention to Harry. He gives the boy an apologetic smile and bites his lip in thought. "We could always go out if you'd like? I don't know this place well, but I am sure there is somewhere fun we could go to?"

Harry ponders for a moment before a wide smile is forming onto his face, popping his dimples out. "How about the aquarium? I've been begging mum to take me but she is always busy with work." He frowns a little and Louis feels his heart drop.

"Of course we can! That sounds lovely, H!" He says excitedly, standing up with a wide smile. Harry feels almost dizzy watching the gorgeous man in front of him, why couldn't Louis be single and attracted to Harry? It would really be a dream come true. "Are you going to get changed, H?" Louis questions, pointing to the boy's pyjamas with a wink.

"Oh," Harry blushes bashfully and bites his lip. "I'll be back!" He tells Louis and rushes to his room. He decides on a grey sweater and a pair of white jeans. Once finished he runs back to Louis and grins. "Ready when you are!"

"Ooh! Look at that one!" Harry whispers in awe, pointing at the colourful fish. Louis leans in a little closer, body flush with Harry and hands on his waist. "It's so pretty!" Harry turns his head to look and Louis.

Louis nods and looks over Harry's face lovingly, taking in every perfect feature that it holds. "So pretty."

Harry giggles and looks back at the fish, smiling softly. "I want a pet fish! I have asked mum a while ago though and she said no," he pouts and leans his head back against Louis' shoulder.

"I should get one," Louis strokes his hands up and down Harry's waist as the smaller smiles at him through the reflection of the glass. "Don't you think?"

"Yes! Can I visit him?" Harry turns in Louis' arms, biting his lip when noticing how close they are.

"I think you'll have to, he would miss your cute face too much," Louis smirks a little, reaching down to dip his thumb into Harry's prominent dimple. "Hey, Haz," Louis whispers seriously, catching the boys attention who nods and motions for him to continue.

"I've been talking to Charlie... He is thinking of coming home for a few days." Harry's smile immediately drops and turns into a frown. He steps away from Louis a little bit, suddenly feeling a little scared. "Haz, I won't let him be rude to you..." Louis notices that Harry's mood doesn't seem to lighten and speaks again. "What's wrong, Bambi?" Louis crouches down a little, sweeping his hands through Harry's curls.

Harry waits for the people who are in the same section of the aquarium as them to leave and begins speaking. "I always feel bad when he is around... I feel like I am a burden to you guys. It makes me uncomfortable. I know he doesn't like me. I feel like I can't talk to you when he is there. I don't know... I just really like you and I understand that he is your husband but I can't help it."

Louis grabs Harry's hands and places them on his own chest, staring at Harry with a hint of sadness. "You can always talk to me, Harry. I don't know about you, but I consider us friends now and I am here whenever and for whatever you need, okay? And I get it, I totally do. Charlie has a bad attitude... Just try not to let that stuff bother you, okay? I promise to stick up for you if he gets out of line."

Harry smiles a little and nods, "okay, Lou... Thank you." He makes the bold move to lean forward and hugs Louis tightly, breathing in the man's comforting scent of cologne. "Can we go home soon? We are nearly finished anyway..."

"Of course!" Louis pulls away from the hug and without thinking presses his lips to Harry's forehead. Both of their eyes widen in shock and Louis quickly looks around to see if anyone had noticed. "We should probably go," he chuckles nervously and takes Harry's hand in his own, leading the boy out of the aquarium, stopping a few times to let Harry see the remainder of the ocean animals, of course.
