TW⚠️: Mentions of abuse.

Louis' P.O.V

I was walking through the woods looking for my football that I kicked somewhere over here when I heard something that sounded like a high pitched cry, almost like a whine. I stopped walking trying to listen where it was coming from.

"Hello?" I called out into the cold air, I shivered as the wind swept past my bare arms. The whining stopped. I slowly walked forward while my eyes scanned the area. As I passed another tree I stopped as my eyes set on something, it was a boy with curly brown hair, he had... cat ears... and a tail. He was a Hybrid.

I'd never seen one myself before but I knew about them and I knew they were very rare, normally they have rich owners or partners but why was this one alone? I looked over his body as his piercing green eyes looked at me with worry, he had bruises on his face and cuts along his bare legs. From what I could see he was wearing nothing but a long shirt that fell to his thighs. I slowly stepped closer to the hybrid leant against a tree, he pushed himself further backwards in distress when he saw me coming closer. 

"Hey, hey, its okay. Your okay, I just want to see if your hurt anywhere else." I said in a calm voice, I looked in his eyes still seeing lots of panic in them. "I'm not going to hurt you but your probably really cold, and I want to make sure your okay." I said calmly as I took another step forward, he didn't move back this time but he was still distressed, I could tell he was. I took another step but I stood on a twig as I did, making a crack sound causing the hybrid to jump up and press his back against the tree behind him while panting with tears in his eyes. "Hey, I'm sorry, It was just a twig. Look." I put one of my hands up in defense as I bent down lightly picking up the broken twig from the floor with my other hand. "See? You fine, I'm not going to hurt you." I showed the twig to him and I noticed the way he let out a big breath as he closed his eyes and let his body slowly fall down the tree allowing his body to sit on the floor again. I walked closer to him as his eyes were closed.

I knelt down beside him as he opened his eyes, he started to breath heavier when he saw me. "shh, its okay. I promise I will not hurt you." I said honestly as I looked at his ears on the top of his curly hair. They looked beautiful, I had never seen any hybrids before so this was all new for me. His ears looked so soft I wanted to reach out and touch them. I couldn't stop myself when I brought my hand up to them causing the Hybrid to flinch away from me. "Oh, I'm sorry, I just wanted to see what they felt like, I wont do it again I'm sorry." I said moving back slightly, I sat back on my bum and crossed my legs. "What's your name?" I asked the curly haired Hybrid. He went to open his mouth but then shut it and looked down, I looked confused until I remembered when My dad told me about Hybrids, he said that some bad people wouldn't allow them to speak. Is that why he was so shy? He was treated badly? But he's so pretty, who would want to hurt him? 

"You can talk, it's okay." I said smiling at him, he looked up at me. 

"Harry." He whispered. I smiled wider at him.

"You've got a lovely name Harry, I'm Louis. Why are you out here?" I asked him, I saw the way his eyes widened and started to fill with tears. "I'm sorry, you don't have to answer that." I said feeling bad. He shook his head and mumbled something. 

"Bad man."

I looked at him in shock. Did he mean he was with a bad man? "Were you with a bad man before?" I asked him calmly. He nodded, his eyes not meeting mine. "I'm going to ask you some questions, you don't have to answer them if you don't want to." He nodded at what I said so I asked the first question. "Did you runaway?" I asked him, he looked up at me and shook his head. 

"Kicked me out." He said quietly. I furrowed my brows. Why would anyone kick him out?

"Why?" I asked curiously. He whimpered before answering.

"Said I'm not good enough. Broke up with me and kicked me out." He mumbled playing with his hands. I looked over him again, He had bruises over his hands, arms, face, thighs and cuts all over his pale legs. I sighed and asked another question. 

"Did he hurt you?" I asked the question I was dying to know, He closed his eyes and whimpered again. He hesitated but nodded with his eyes closed. "How much did he hurt you?" Harry opened his eyes and looked straight into my blue ones. 

"A lot" He whispered. I sighed, I wanted to hug him but he didn't like me touching him, I couldn't blame him though.

"Did you like him at all?" I asked him, he quickly shook his head 'no'. "Why did you stay with him?" I asked. 

"Had no choice, would hurt me more if I left and he found me. But he got sick of me and kicked me out this morning." He said louder than before. I was slightly in shock as this was the most he's said. 

"Did he hurt you before he kicked you out?" I asked him, needing to know if he was bleeding anywhere now. Harry looked down and nodded slowly. "Where?" Harry pointed to his stomach. I tried to look over where his knees were tucked up, he saw me trying to look and put his legs down allowing me to see the blood on his long white shirt. "Oh my-" I breathed out. "I need you to come with me so I can clean you up, my house isn't far from here." I said standing up. He started shaking his head quickly and hyperventilating, I knelt back down beside him and tried to calm him without touching him. "Hey, it's okay, I promise. I wont hurt you, I'm not like that man, I promise. I just want to help you, I can clean you up and give you some food and warmer clothes, do you want that?" He stopped shaking his head at the mention of food and warm clothes, he was probably starving, he said he got kicked out this morning and it was now almost 6pm. He nodded shyly so I stood up. "C'mon then." I said smiling at him, he stood up allowing his tail to fall out from where it was tucked under his shirt, and followed behind me.

After around 5 minutes we reached my house, it wasn't anything impressive but It wasn't exactly a small family home either as I did have a pretty good income as I own my own record label, so I can work from home too. I got to the door and opened it, I turned around and saw Harry fiddling with his hands looking nervously into the dark house. "It's okay, I will turn the lights on now." I walked in and flicked the light switch on making all the lights downstairs light up. "See, its not scary now is it?" I said trying to encourage him to come into the warm house, he hesitated but walked in anyway. "If you follow me upstairs I can clean out the cut on your stomach and get you some warm clothes." I said with a soft tone, He nodded and started following me up the stairs, I made sure to turn on the lights as I went realizing that he didn't like the dark much. 

I walked into the bathroom and turned on the light, I motioned for Harry to sit on the counter next to the sink. I stood in front of him and looked into his slightly less worried eyes. "Could you lift your shirt up for me, just so I can have a look at the cut?" I asked him, he nodded and lifted up his shirt to reveal his stomach. I held back a gasp when I looked, his stomach was covered in what looked like whip marks, but luckily only one was bleeding. I turned around to go get some bandages and other things when I heard Harry say something. 

"Louis." He said panicked, I turned to look at him. "Don't leave me." He whispered, I internally cooed at what he said. 

"I will be back, I just need to grab some things to help you, I will be back in 2 minutes." I said smiling at him as I walked out the door. 

I was back in the bathroom in two minutes like I said, but I had bandages and some cream so his cut wouldn't get infected.  I walked over to him and put the things down in the space next to him. I picked up the cream and put it on my fingers before moving my hand towards the bleeding area. As soon as I got close to his stomach he flinched and moved away from me, I sighed moving my hand away from him. "I know your scared Harry, but I need to help you. So I will have to touch it a bit to stop it from hurting and then I promise I will stop." I said calmly to him, he bit his lip and looked down, but after a few seconds he looked up at me and nodded. "Okay, thank you. I will try to be quick. But it might be a bit cold." I told him as I moved my hand closer to his cut, the second I touched him he flinched but he didn't move away. "I'm sorry, It will be over soon." I whispered as I rubbed the cream over his bleeding cut, He had his eyes closed and his hands on my arm, almost like he would push it away if he needed to. "There." I said as I had rubbed the last bit in. "Now I'm just going to put this over it so it wont bleed out okay?" I grabbed the long bandage when he nodded. I put the bandage over it, trying to avoid the other whip marks that surrounded the only bleeding one while also trying not to touch him much. 

"All done." I said as I put his shirt back down. I smiled at him and I swear I saw him almost smile back. "Now do you want some of my clothes so your warmer?" I asked him as he hopped of the counter, he nodded so I walked into my bedroom. I looked in my closet and found a big shirt and some new underwear, I walked over and put it on the bed he was sat on. He picked it up and started to take off his other shirt as I started to walk to the door to give him privacy. 

"Wait." He said from behind me. I realized he didn't want me to leave so I smiled at him softly and turned around leaning on the wall behind me. Once he knew I wasn't leaving he started changing again, He took the old white shirt off and put my big black one on that almost covered his whole tail, then he put the new underwear on when he stood up. I walked over and picked up his old clothes. 

"Do you want to keep these? If you don't I can get you more clothes you can wear." I told him. He paused then spoke. 

"Throw them away." He mumbled, I nodded and signaled for him to come downstairs, he followed me into the kitchen. "You can sit in there." I told him pointing to the living room, he nodded and walked in as I walked over to the bin and put his old clothes in. I walked into the living room to see Harry sat on the floor in front of the couch, with his tail in between his legs and his hand playing with the hem of his shirt. 

"You can sit up here." I said smiling as I sat down on the couch, he slowly stood up and hesitantly sat down on the couch, His tail laid next to his leg when he sat down and he put a hands in his hair near his ears and started braiding his curls. "Do you want something to eat?" I asked him after a few minutes of watching him braid his hair around his cat ears. He looked up at me after finishing another braid, His eyes shone and he nodded excitedly. "Okay kitten, you wait here." As soon as I said it I realized. "Oh I um, I-I'm sorry." I said blushing. Harry looked slightly shocked but had a slight pink tint on his dimpled cheeks. 

"'s okay" He said looking down. 

"I wont call you it again." I said as I turned to go to the kitchen.

"Wait-" Harry said rather loud, I turned and saw him stood up. "I err, its fine. You can call me that if you want." He said blushing, I nodded and smiled at him before walking into the kitchen to make Harry something to eat. I took everything I needed to make a good meal for Harry, seeing how skinny he was, I decided to make a big meal so he wouldn't be hungry. After around 1 hour I was done with the meal. I made chicken stuffed with mozzarella wrapped in Parma ham with a side of homemade mash.   

I walked into the kitchen to see Harry staring out the window at the sun going behind the mountains. "Here you go" I said as I handed the plate to Harry and sat down next to him. He smiled shyly at me and took the plate and placed it down on his lap, I picked up the tv remote and turned on the tv making Harry flinch slightly. "Oh, I'm sorry. I should have warned you." I apologized. 

"'S okay, Scared me that's all." He said taking a bite of the chicken, he hummed and started putting more into his mouth at once, I chuckled at him.

"Taste good yeah?" I asked as he put more food into his mouth still without swallowing the food he ate before. "Woah, calm down kitten your gonna make yourself sick." I said realizing how much of the food on his plate was now in his mouth, he immediately looked at me and stopped shoveling food in, he started to slowly chew all the food in his mouth. I chuckled and turned my head back to the tv.

After a few minutes I looked back over to Harry to see his plate empty and his focus on the tv, I stood up and took his plate from him and walked into the kitchen. I placed the plates down on the counter and sighed. What the hell am I supposed to do now. I rubbed my hands over my face and thought of who I could call, One name came to my mind. Liam. 

I picked up my phone and dialed Liam's number, he picked up after a few rings. 

"Hey Lou." He said chirpily from the other line. 

"Hey lad, I need some advice." I said trying to keep my voice down.

"Okay. Lay it on me." He said. I took a deep breath and started telling Liam what happened.  

"So today I was practicing for my football game in two weeks and my ball was booted into the woods, so I went looking for it and while I was looking I heard someone crying. I found them and it was a boy around our age and he was bruised and cut. But that's not the only thing, he's a hybrid Li." I said whispering. 

"Woah Lou, You found a hybrid? Do you know how rare they are?" He asked me. I rolled my eyes at the dumb question.

"Of course I fucking do Liam. I'm not an idiot, it's not like I go to the park and bring a hybrid home every fucking day." I said raising my voice. 

"You brought him home?!" He said shocked. 

"Yes of course I fucking did Liam! What the fuck was I supposed to do? Leave him there?" I said loudly, I realized how loud I was when I heard Harry whimper from the living room. "shit" I mumbled lowering my voice again. "Liam what do I do?" I whispered desperately. 

"Okay Lou, just call up his old partner or give him to someone else. Your too busy to deal with a hybrid." What Liam said made my blood boil, I needed to shout so I quickly walked upstairs into the bedroom after checking Harry was okay. 

"I am not fucking sending him back to his partner Liam." I said with gritted teeth. 

"What? Why?" He said back to me.

"Why do you think he was bruised and cut Li?!" I said angrily. 

"That's not an answer to my q-" He stopped talking. "Oh." He said finally realizing. 

"I'm not sending him back to where he came from, he's not safe there." I said feeling hot from how mad I was. 

"Louis answer my question honestly." He said and I hummed. "Why do you care so much? You could easily give him to someone who deals with this kind of thing. But you wont. Why?" Liam asked from the other line. I sighed and sat down on the bed. 

"I-I don't know Li. He has really bad trust issues, he wont let me touch him, so trying to help his cuts was hard and he gets scared easily. I cant just leave someone like that." I said quietly again. 

"Are you sure that's the only reason?" Liam asked not believing what I said. I closed my eyes and thought. 

"I- There's something about him Liam. His eyes are gorgeous, his hair is beautiful and curly, he is so shy but it makes him more cute. H-He's special Li. I feel like I want to know more about him, I want to protect him from everything bad. And I want him to trust me." I said letting out a big breath. 

I heard Liam hum. "Yeah okay Tommo. I can come over of you want?" He suggested, I quickly shook my head before I realized he couldn't see me. 

"No." I said sternly. "He gets really nervous easily, I don't want to stress him out anymore today."

"Okay Lou, call me if you need to. but what's his name?" Liam asked. I smiled before answering. 

"Harry."

~

Liam and I finished talking and I went downstairs to make sure Harry was still watching tv. I walked into the living room seeing Harry half asleep on the couch with his hands wrapped around his petite body. 

"Kitten?" I said quietly as I walked closer to him. He opened his eyes fully and looked at me. I could swear I saw him smile a little. 

"Hi" He mumbled as he lifted his head off the side of the couch, I smiled and sat down near him. 

"Do you want to go to bed?" I asked him, He nodded his head shyly. 

"What's wrong love?" I said and he smiled at the nickname. He finally smiled properly. 

"Where am I going to sleep? You don't have a cage." He said playing with the end of his tail.

My eyes widened at what he said. "Cage?" I said astonished. He nodded at me.

"Master never wanted me on the furniture, he made me sleep in a cage and eat out of a cat bowl." He said frowning, I felt myself getting angrier at the thought of what this man did to Harry. 

"Your not going to sleep in a cage love. Your going to sleep in my bed and I will sleep in the guest room." I said softly trying to hide my anger, He smiled at me again and nodded mumbling a quiet 'okay'. 

He followed me up to my room and I pulled back the duvet. "Here you go, I will be right across the hall if you need anything." I said as I walked over to my closet to get some clothes out. "If you want anymore clothes, you can take anything from my closet." I said smiling as I walked towards the door with some of my clothes in hand. When I reached the door Harry looked like he wanted to say something but he stopped and just smiled at me. "Goodnight kitten." I said before closing the door behind me and walking to the guest bedroom. 

I got into some new boxers and took my shirt and trousers off before getting into the bed. I laid down and turned on my phone going to message Liam. 

~ 

I had been on my phone for around 2 hours when I heard whining. I stopped typing and put my phone down trying to focus on the noise. I heard it again. I sat up and pushed the duvet off me, I walked towards the room Harry was in and the noise got louder. Now I could hear shuffling and what sounded like... crying. I quickly ran and opened the door seeing Harry writhing around on the bed crying with his eyes closed. He was dreaming. I walked over to him and went to touch him but pulled away when I realized he didn't like that. I sat down next to him and tried waking him up a different way. 

"Harry? Harry?" I said kind of quiet and sighed and said it louder. "Harry." Nothing. he was still crying while asleep. "Kitten?" I said moving closer to him. He suddenly shot up panting and trying to grab something, he looked at me with tear filled eyes and quickly moved closer and sat in my lap putting his nose in the crook of my neck and his arms around my shoulders. I was shocked as he never let me really touch him yet, I wrapped my arms around him shyly checking he wasn't uncomfortable. He showed no signs of discomfort so I kept my arms around him stroking behind his cat ears every now again as he purred into my neck while sniffling.

After a few minutes he was back asleep in my arms and his breathing had leveled out again, I moved him off my lap and put him back under the duvet. I stroked his hair once more before leaving the room. I was debating whether to stay with him but I chose not to as he might have only wanted me to hold him because he was in distress and I didn't want to panic him if he woke up in my arms. I got back into my bed and closed my eyes suddenly feeling very tired. 

~ 

I woke up to my alarm going off at 8am. I groaned and shut it off before getting out of bed and going to get some sweatpants, I found a black pair and put them on not bothering to get a shirt as I walked downstairs. I walked into the kitchen and started to make breakfast for Harry and I.

After two hours of trying and failing to make pancakes I got some delivered instead and I was now taking them up to where Harry should be asleep. I opened his door and walked over to his sleeping figure, I shook him gently making sure if he was still nervous about me. "Kitten, you've got to wake up now." I said lightly stroking his hair. He opened his eyes and jumped when he saw me, I quickly removed my hand off of him, He frowned and grabbed my hand that was now by my waist and put it back in his hair. I felt tears come to my eyes and he closed his beautiful green ones and let my hand stroke his hair. After around 30 seconds I spoke again. "I made pancakes, well actually no. I bought pancakes." I said laughing a little as I placed the plate down on his lap. He smiled up at me and started eating. 

God he is so beautiful.
