lowercase intended bc why not lol 

louis stood in the bathroom at school, critiquing himself in the mirror. he adjusted the bottom of his skirt, making sure it covered enough of his thighs. is it too short? he wondered. he didn't want people to be able to see his ass. 

he turned, looking at himself from the side. he sighed mentally at his too large bum and the little tummy you could see under his pastel crop top. no matter how many sit-ups he did, it just wouldn't go away. 

suddenly, the bathroom door burst open behind him. louis jumped around, cowering into the sink when he saw who it was. 

tyler had bullied him since the beginning of high school, which was almost four years ago now. ever since he found out that louis was gay and the clothes he liked to wear, tyler had made it his goal to make louis feel terrible about himself. 

louis shrunk back into the corner as tyler stalked over to him. usually in these situations, harry was here to protect him. but harry was nowhere in sight today. as if he had read louis' mind, tyler sneered, "hey fag, where's your loser boyfriend?" louis didn't answer, looking around for a way to duck under his arm and escape. tyler snickered, moving even closer and saying, "you can't escape. there's no way out." louis shook in terror as tyler wound up and landed a punch straight on louis' jaw.

louis fell to the floor with a cry as tyler drew back to kick him, but at that moment the door burst open for the second time. this time, harry rushed in, his face paling as he took in the boy with his leg drawn back, staring at harry, and harry's crying boyfriend on the floor. 

harry rushed over, but was blocked by tyler, who had seemingly forgotten about louis for a moment. "what do you think you're doing, loser?" he sneered. harry responded by kneeing him in the balls as hard as he could. 

as tyler fell to the floor, harry rushed over, sitting next to louis. "are you alright, lou?" he cried out, worried about his smaller boyfriend. louis cracked his eyes open, trying to smile but wincing when it hurt his face. harry picked up his boyfriend, shouldering his way out the door and starting down the hallway with louis perched on his hip, ignoring the stares of other students.

"we're going to my car, lou. i'll check you out when we get there." harry mumbled, receiving a small nod from louis as he hurried outside. 

harry opened the door for louis, buckling him in his seat and going around to the drivers side. once they were safely on their way back to harry's house, he asked louis, "where did he get you, babe?" 

louis winced before responding, "jaw, and my stomach." harry nodded, turning into his neighborhood. 

once they pulled in the driveway, harry supported louis up to the front door and inside, thanking the heavens his mum was still at work. 

harry hoisted louis onto the counter, getting an ice pack for him to put on his jaw. harry stood in front of louis, taking in the way he was curled in on himself, eyes downcast and filled with tears. 

"what is it lou?" harry whispered, hugging his boyfriend lightly. louis sniffled before quietly asking, "why does he hate me, haz?" harry sighed, hugging louis tight and pecking him on the forehead. 

"honestly, i don't know, louis. he obviously has some issues and i advise you to just ignore him. you're beautiful to me." louis slowly smiled, whispering "i love you" like it was a secret, only to be shared between the two of them, in this moment, frozen in time. 

harry kissed louis, saying "i love you too" onto his lips. he picked louis up again, making sure he had his ice pack, and settled them in harry's bed. as they laid down to take a nap, louis reached behind him to wrap harry's arm around his middle from behind, pressing a small kiss to the back of harry's hand. harry traced the words "love you" onto the fabric of louis' crop top, louis writing it back on the skin of harry's hand. 

they fell asleep like that, without a care in the world for anyone or anything except the two of them in this bed. 

im so tired goodnight
