Chapter 15

Warnings: Strong language, violence but also fluff

Louis' piercing suddenly very cold blue eyes were narrowing as he let them travel over the scene in front of him. Will, who was lightly sweating with his hand raised high and a whimpering Harry, who was gently rocking forward and whose eyes stared deeply into Louis'.

What was happening?

''What is going on?'', he huffed out, running a hand through his hair and swallowed harshly.

He was kind of used to chaos and trouble due to his little sisters from home and he was good at solving problems they had. But their conflicts were about stealing each other barbies. This, now was a way more serious situation.

''Can you explain me why he is whimpering in a corner? Crying?''

Louis' jaw clenched tightly. His belly suddenly felt sick with disgust for the man that stood in front of him. Will looked dumbfounded for only one second.

He was straightening up, a soft very fake smile was tugging on the corner of his lips that made him look frightening, like a mad man.

That's what he was, after all.

''Oh, Harry?'' He was turning his gaze towards the crying boy who stared down at his long feet, body shaking, ''he fell.. clumsy litle boy, isn't he?'' He licked his lips, wetting them and hummed quietly.

''Now, I do not see how this could be of any matter to you?''

Will flicked a cocky eyebrow up and hummed quietly, flattening his hand out over his bare chest.

Louis was fuming. He could clearly tell that Harry did not fall. Even if he was clumsy (It was one of the many little things that Louis loved about him), he wouldn't be a crying and shaking mess. Louis quickly rushed over towards him, getting embraced by a waiting Harry who made grabby hands at him.

''I should've stayed with you,'' Louis rushed out and hugged the boy to his chest causing him to sob out quietly and shake his head, ''n-no I should be able to take care of myself, right? I-I'm not good enough for you..''

He was settling for abusive love.

Harry couldn't even describe what was going on inside him. He did not know how he felt.

Ridiculous?

He made a fool out of himself with trusting Will again. But maybe it was a sign that this was what he was meant for. To be with Will.

Harry suddenly felt very sleepy. He just wanted to lay down, close his eyes and wake up to a life that made him unhappy. But then again, it was okay because he was going numb.

''What did he do to you, oh god. My precious boy..'' Louis whispered in Harry's eyes, stroking over the boys curls and pressed a kiss to his hair.

''What are you doing? Who the hell are you,even?'' Will snarled, dark eyes narrowed dangerously as he stared at the couple. What a stranger was this to stroll into their room, interrupting them.

Louis jawline tightened the second Will spoke again.

''I'll be right back,'' he cooed at Harry before he stood up, growling quietly and turned to the monster of a man that was hurting his boy.

Louis wasn't a man of violence. He always tried to solve problems with talking. He clenched his fists by the side of his waist and took a deep breath. Louis wouldn't hit Will. Not in front of Harry. Because if he hits, Harry would be afraid of Louis, too.

''You better listen up now, boy.'' Louis spoke dangerously calm, causing Will to raise his chin a tad higher.

''My name is Louis William Tomlinson. And I won't let this happen ever again. Don't you see what you made out of a bright giggling Harry?'' He spat out, referring to a shaking Harry whose eyes were dazed over with emptiness. He was lost.

''This is all your fault. How could you ever dare lay a hand on this gorgeous boy? You are the one that has problems. Not Harry. So search Therapy and if you ever touch him again, I will call the police.''

Louis breathing got heavier, the more he was talking. He was furious because Will was smirking.

''Oh he likes it. Likes when I manhandle him, especially in bed hm Harry darling?'' He laughed quietly and shook his head slowly ''so you're that Louis guy..'' Will hummed quietly, ''you better leave me and Harry in peace now.''

He was tilting his head and stared at Louis, kinda reminding him of the velociraptors he saw in Jurassic Park that always cocked their heads to the side, looking so .. evil and who were just filled with mischievousness.

Louis' reaction was quick as Will raised his hand, willing to do whatever has to be done to shut him up but Louis caught his hand in mid-air.

''Ah-ah. I'm not him.'' He grit out, very tempted to hit back before he took a step back. Harry was an emotional wreck right now and he couldn't see Louis beating up another guy. Louis needed to take care of him right now.

''We're going to let Harry decide. Whatever he goes for..'' Will withdrew his hand and moved over to the chair they had in their hotel room, taking a seat and watched the scene in front of him.

It was fun to watch that Tomlinson-boy trying to get through to Harry.He always shut down completely, holding the wall he built around himself.

Louis took a deep breath and looked at Harry for a few seconds before he made his way over to the taller boy and sat down in front of him.

He reached out for his big hands, taking them as gentle as he could master up and entangled them from his knees that were pressed against his chest.

''I've always fancied the many rings on your fingers Harry.. I kinda really fancy all the things you like'', Louis smiled shyly, playing with a very old looking ring on his pointer finger.

''I don't even know where to start. There are a lot of things I love about you.. That I love about us. Our talks.. Our chatting''

Will's eyes narrowed.

Louis talked softly, causing Harry's body to relax a little and he at least stopped his horrible shaking.

''I like that you are so shy, I love how you look in the mornings and how you don't want to get up because it's always so coozy. I love the way you giggle and Harry I know this is the cheesiest piece of pizza but your laugh brightens up my day. I never thought I would ever say something as cheesy as this to someone but it is true.. If I could show you the butterflies in my belly whenever I hear it, I would.''

''I love how clumsy you are, I love that you can't cook but try, I love your pout, God.. I.. I love you.''

Louis heart was beating so fast as if he was about to jump out of a plane. He took Harry's hand and pressed it against his chest, wiping a tear off his cheek as Harry finally looked up to him, the haze that was fogging his eyes, cleared up a little.

''If you say yes to me, I promise you that it'll always be an honor to have you by my side. I will worship every inch of your body, will always support you with every decision you're going to make and I will always be there to catch you again if you fall.'' Louis eyes were staring into Harry's with love and passion for the younger boy.

''I've never fallen so hard for anyone before..'', he laughed out quietly and shook his head.

''Harry, love.. you have to decide. It's either with or without me.''Because whatever Harry decided, it would be final. It would be a future with Louis or without him.

''y-you love me?'' Harry whispered out, eyes broad and wide as he watched Louis smile and nod.

He exhaled slowly and swallowed harshly, a blush covering his cheeks. He loved Louis, too.But they had to make things clear now.

Harry was looking at Louis for a while longer before he slowly got up, on shaky knees and turned to Will. He was still deeply hurt and his cheek was burning with the slap.

''You're buying th-'' Will started off but got quickly interrupted. He was fuming, dreaming out massively but Harry's next words caught his attention.

''You promised not to hurt me anymore, Will. Y-you promised'' Harry whispered heart broken and fiddled with the hem of his shirt.

''Y-you made me believe that I deserve all of this b-but as I met Louis, he.. he showed me h-how kind someone can be to me,'' Harry swallowed harshly and looked back at Louis who was smiling encouragingly towards him, ''I don't want to be with you anymore.''

Just as the words left his lips he felt a heavy weight fall off his shoulders.

Will though, stood up and smiled wickedly, moving over to Harry and towered over him. He tilted his chin up and tutted, ''love.. you really think you're happier with him?'' He chuckled softly and pouted. Harry needed Will. At least that's what he thought.

Harry slowly nodded his head, Will's dark deep eyes boring into his green ones.

''Please. If you love me, let me go'' Harry said quietly, trying to make Will understand that this was the best for him.

The second those words left Harry's lips, Will's eyes narrowed and he snarled, shoving at the boy's chest.

''Oh you little shit. You think you're so much better huh? Oh leaving me will be your worst nightmare, I'm going to fucking-'' ''No.'' Louis growled and moved in front of Harry, protecting him of any blows that Will might throw at Harry.

''Your work is done here.'' Louis licked his lips and gently took Harry's hand leading him out of there.

''Only a second, now love'' He mumbled, pressing his lips to Harry's cheek before he was storming back inside, throwing a hard punch at Will's jaw growling as he heard it crack and watched the man hit the ground.

''That's what you get for hurting my boy.''

''Hurry now, love'' Louis cooed running with Harry down the corridor until they finally stumbled into the elevator, the door were sliding close with a soft 'ping'.

''Now again to the question what was the craziest thing you ever did. I have an answer for you this time..'' Louis eyes sparkled up at Harry before he was hugging the boy to his chest, letting him snuggle into his neck. They found each other.
