From Our Confines We Break Free (Larry AU 4-Shot)

Louis lives in a cage. He's chained, he's bound. He is enslaved, never, it seems to be delivered. Yes, he lives in a cage but, no, not literally. His confines are far more cruel than metal bars could ever be. His figurative shackles weigh as heavily as a wall of solid rock on the most brittle, fragile part of his being and the edges are just as rough as they scrape and tear at him. Louis lives in a cage and it's tightest around his heart.
