POV : LOUIS

I watch him command Clifford, making him sit and stand. I smile proudly, wasn't an easy task to teach him that. He turns his head and looks to both ends of the beach. I take it as my cue and approach him.

He jump a little when I reach close to him. He turns around and stares at me, I can't quite read his face. It's a mixture of shock, horror and awe. He lifts his right arm and pinches himself on his left one. He winces. Harry thinks it's a dream, I smirk. 

I take a step closer and his breathes get quicker and he falls back, just before he hits the sand I catch him. I rub his cheek, "harry? are you okay? " I ask but he doesn't move a muscle. My heart starts beating faster, do I need to take him to the hospital? He's fine right? Yeah. Yeah he's fine. He's just tired probably. 

How am I supposed to carry him while holding Clifford?

I lay him slowly on the sand and ring Allan. 

" Hey Allan, yeah can you please come to the beach and pick me up " I ask.

" Yeah sure, the one nearby right? " he says in his deep tone.

" Yeah"

" Okay I'll be there in a minute " 

" Thank you " I end the call. 

I run my eyes over the mess Harry's made. There's a basket, a picnic cloth filled with sand, sunscreen and a half eaten sandwich. I pick up everything and place it in the basket, I have to shake the cloth to get all the sand out. When I'm done, I see Allan walking up to us. I hand him Clifford's leash and carry harry. His face pressed against my chest, his wet hair draping over my arm and his limbs hanging loosely.

I smile as he snuggles closer into my chest. I run my hands through his almost dry hair. I try my best to savor every second I get to hold him like this. I almost want him to not wake up. Just as that thought leaves me, his eyes flutter open. He stares at me for a second, then he looks around. When he realizes he's snuggled inside my chest he blushes, clears his throat and gets up from my lap. 

I gesture for him to sit on the sofa next to me but he chooses the farthest one. 

" is this your house? " he asks. 

" yeah " 

" I- uhm what exactly happened? I was just at the beach and then I saw clifford and then I was playing with him and suddenly you appeared out of nowhere and then - " He rambles quickly. 

" Love, I'll explain " I cut him off and laugh. 

" you fainted I think and I carried you back to my house " I explain and he nods.

" oh well um thank you, I should probably go now " he says and immediately my smile fades. 

" Can you please stay for tea or something, please? " I beg.

" It's almost 8 and I have a show tomorrow " He says. 

" Oh yeah, right " I nod and look down. He gets up. 

" what happened to the " I would hug him and never let go " " I say sadly. 

" what- how did-  " he stammers, confused.

" I'm Irish_Potatoe, it's me, i made that account, I never meant to fool you it just kind of happened " I say. 

" no way- what the hell " He asks, shocked.

" Yeah " I say, confirming.

He suddenly moves closer and wraps his arms around me. I take a second before melting into the hug. He doesn't let go so I don't either. 

" sweet creature" he whispers.
