Always You (L.S.) (Completed)

Chapter 23: Mornings

(January 1st)

LOUIS

I woke up naked and cuddled into Harry's arms. I smiled as I remembered the events of the night before, how gentle and careful he was. It showed that he really cared, and I couldn't be happier.

"Mmm... Lou?" Harry's deep morning voice brought me out of my thoughts.

I turned slightly so that I was facing him. "Yeah?"

He kissed me gently. "Hi."

I smiled. "Hey."

"How are you feeling?" he asked me worriedly, and I laughed softly.

"Harry, I'm not that fragile. I'm sure I'll be fine."

He pouted. "I know that, but it's my job to worry about you. Also, it's because I know how big I am and this just inflates my ego."

I shoved him away from me as he laughed. "Oh, shut up. That's all you care about huh?"

He pulled me back to him, nuzzling his face in my neck, and kissing the skin there. "No, I'm sorry baby. I love you."

I grinned. "Good. As you should."

He moved away, jaw dropping. "Excuse me?"

I snickered at his face, taking the moment to hop out of bed. As I did though, I felt a sharp pain in my back, and instantly regretted it.

"It hurts! Ha! I told you!" He exclaimed gleefully and I glared at him.

"As much as  I enjoy you making fun of me, how about you help me?" I retorted, and he lay back with a sigh.

"Nah, I'm good."

I scoffed. "Wow, rude."

He chuckled, and hopped out of bed. "Kidding, baby. Come here."

I hobbled over to him and let him lift me up and carry me to the bathroom. We got in the shower, and he let me down gently to turn on the tap. 

"Sing to me," I ordered and he looked at me surprised.

"Huh?"

"Sing for me, please? I know you have a beautiful voice."

He sighed, but complied. "Okay, um I wrote this one a couple weeks ago. It's uh, it's about you." he whispered, and my eyes widened. 

"Me?" 

He nodded, and I smiled, kissing him softly.

"Uh, it's called Little Things."

Your hand fits in mine like it's made just for me
But bear this mind, it was meant to be.
And I'm joining up the dots with the freckles on your cheeks
And it all makes sense to me.

I know you've never loved
The crinkles by your eyes when you smile
You've never loved your stomach or your thighs.
The dimples in your back at the bottom of your spine
But I'll love them endlessly.

I won't let these little things slip out of my mouth
But if I do, it's you
Oh, it's you, they add up to
I'm in love with you
And all these little things.

You can't go to bed without a cup of tea
And maybe that's the reason that you talk in your sleep.
And all those conversations are the secrets that I keep
Though it makes no sense to me.

I know you never loved the sound of your voice on tape.
You never want to know how much you weight.
You still have to squeeze into your jeans,
But you're perfect to me.

I won't let these little things slip out of my mouth
But if it's true, it's you
It's you, they add up to
I'm in love with you
And all these little things.

You'll never love yourself half as much as I love you.
And you'll never treat yourself right darlin', but I want you to.
If I let you know, I'm here for you.
Maybe you'll love yourself like I love you, oh

And I've just let these little things slip out of my mouth
'Cause it's you, oh, it's you
It's you, they add up to
And I'm in love with you
And all these little things.

I won't let these little things slip out of my mouth
But if it's true, it's you
It's you, they add up to
I'm in love with you
And all your little things.

"Harry," I whispered. "I-"

"You're crying." he mumbled, wiping the tears of my face. "How are you so beautiful even when you're crying?"

I threw myself into his arms. "I love you so much," I sobbed. "Please don't leave me."

He looked taken aback. "No, no, I'll never leave you, baby."

I sniffled rubbing at my eyes. "I'm sorry about that."

He kissed my cheeks softly. "Don't be sorry, baby. Let's go get some breakfast, yeah?"

I nodded and we stepped out. 

"Haz, I don't have any clothes other than the ones I was wearing last night." I pouted.

"Here," he threw me a pair of fresh boxers as well as a pair of black jeans and a dark grey hoodie.

"Harry these are huge!"

He cackled. "Here, roll up the cuffs like this."

I looked in the mirror and rolled my eyes. "Harold this hoodie is absolutely ginormous."

He wrapped his arms around me from behind, resting his chin on my head. "Yeah, but it's really adorable. I love you in my clothes, you should wear them more often."

I shook my head, amused.

"There they are!" Liam exclaimed upon seeing us walk in. Well, Harry was walking and carrying me on his back, but still.

"Liam!" I shouted happily, jumping off his back and rushing to my friend, trying my best to ignore how sore I was. 

I enveloped him in a huge hug.

"Um... I'm feeling a little left out," Niall pouted, and we laughed, opening our arms to let him in the group hug.

"So... did you guys...?" Liam looked at us back and forth.

"They so did, Louis is glowing look at him!" Zayn said, swinging his legs over Liam's lap. I blushed, hiding in the crook of Harry's shoulder as he laughed.

"Not that it's any of your business, but yes we did." He kissed the top of my head, making me blush even harder.

"Hey you guys!" Eleanor came up to us, coffee in hand. 

We all greeted her, and she came to sit on my other side. 

"So?" she whispered. 

"We, uh, did it." I whispered back and she squealed, causing everyone to look up at us.

I laughed. "Sorry about her, she can be a little excitable."

She shoved me laughing. "Shut up!"

"Ow!" I complained. "I'm sore, leave me alone."

Harry snickered, and I kicked him under the table making him whine in pain.

I smiled sweetly at him. "Love you baby."
