This will NOT turn into Larry, I fucking promise you that from the bottom of my heart that this is Nouis so matter what. Maybe a Larry development in friendship but that ONLY. I need and want Louis to have Harry as his sort of security blanket now that he's little without Niall (his Daddy) and that is ALL.

#NouisForTheWin

A small filler chapter, I'll take shit seriously in the next chapter

ｔｈｉｒｔｙ－ｔｈｒｅｅ

Somehow, Harry manages to get Louis to fall asleep after the whole chaos in the garage bathroom, changing the little into dry clean clothing much to Louis' dismay of Harry actually seeing him naked but the bodyguard doesn't take much concern over that. He's a bodyguard, it's his job to look after Louis and as whenever the boy is little, seeing him naked isn't something that he lingers on.

Harry couldn't help but to coo at the onesie that had been stuffed into the backpack, obviously made of a pyjama type fluffy material but suitable enough to wear out and about with footwear, not that either Harry or Louis was worrying about what clothing is appropriate to wear out and about. It was polar bear themed and Louis looked adorable as he shuffled through the garage, grabbing chocolate and skittles for the car journey because Harry said he could have anything he wanted.

Luckily enough, Harry doesn't have to endure the little hyper active as he falls asleep in the back seat with Bambi curled up on his lap, Skittles being used a pillow between his head and the car window. The drive to another safe house is a lot quicker now that Louis is asleep and Harry can speed down country lanes and motorways because the quicker they get there, the quicker that Harry can sleep as well and get more information on what is happening.

By 9am, Harry is pulling up to a remote safe house in Cork, one hidden in a very remote farmers village and actually classified as a Farmers home, big and broad in the middle of the country. He checks his phone and the back up phone for any details, any messages from maybe Niall or somebody else in the gang but there is nothing. Maybe Harry and Louis are the only ones that had managed to get away, or maybe the rest of them were cowards and left Niall to defend himself.

"Stay in the car, I'll come back for you- don't hiss at me, I'm trying to keep you and Louis safe."Harry is grumbling at the sleepy grey kitten who hisses and tries to swipe at his hand whenever the man moves her off of Louis' lap, where she had been sleeping pretty soundly despite the commotion. She sticks her tail up in the air before laying down on the soft warm leather of the car seat, allowing Harry to manoeuvre Louis as long as it doesn't disrupt her sleeping.

"M'paci."

"What?"Harry looks at Louis confused, not understanding the Littles sleepy, slurred mumbling. Louis lets out a disgruntled huff of breath, his lips pouted and face scrunched up because he hates that he has to repeat himself.

"Wan' paci."He repeats, getting annoyed that what he has asked for isn't being done as quickly as it would've if his Daddy was here. If Harry is going to stick around then he's going to have to learn Louis' abbreviations and little words.

"Oh, okay. Give me a second."Harry stops in his actions of unbuckling Louis' seat belt and goes to reach into the Littles backpack, pulling out a Monster Inc themed paci, decorated blue and purple just like Sully. Without hesitation, he's pushing it through Louis' parted lips, something that visually relaxes the little."All good?"

"Hmm,"The little nods his head, a hand holding on tightly to Skittles as the other makes grabby hands do be lifted up by Harry, too tired to walk and having little to no energy with so little sleep that he's gotten. With a heavy sigh, Harry complies and manages to get the little unbuckled and lifted into his arms, grabbing two of their bags and deciding to come back for the rest once he has Louis put down onto the couch.

There's a key hidden behind one of the plotted plants like Harry was informed, the house smelling strongly of damp and dust whenever he enters the farmers house, something that immediately makes him scrunch up his face. He's stayed in worse conditions but that doesn't mean it's not a pleasant smell.

He's setting Louis down onto one of the sofas, something that makes the little grumble a protest from behind the Paci in his mouth and curl himself around the stuffed bear Skittles. Glad that he hasn't woken up, Harry makes work with bringing in what's left of the bags in the car, as well as Bambi who again swipes and mewls at being lifted by Harry from her sleep.

After a secure of the area, Harry is taking a nap of his own on the opposite sofa in the bottom front room of the farmers house, hoping that whenever he awakes that maybe there will be some type of news that he can tell Louis about Nialls wellbeing.

^ - ^

It doesn't look good.

Whenever Harry wakes up around lunch time, what statistics of damages left to what reminder of the group that stayed behind weren't good. Many were injured, a lot more dead and the thought of those people, all those hard loyal workers being killed in an incident that didn't even concern them made Harry's stomach churn.

What Harry can pull together is that last time that Niall, he hadn't been in the best of positions or of conditions. He was making it his mission to get everyone out of the building and surrounding buildings around the lot and before anyone else could protest, he had disappeared within the gunfire and chaos.

The information itself makes Harry sigh heavily from his place at the kitchen table, looking through the archway where Louis still lays on the sofa asleep, Bambi curled up on his stomach asleep and Paci bobbing between his lips as he sleeps. He can't exactly pin anything to the situation until he gives it time, but for the moment, for Niall to be missing is just as bad as being dead to anyone in Louis' position.

"Everything will be fine,"Harry tells himself, closing the lid of the laptop that had been hidden in one of the kitchen cupboards for emergency purposes in this safe house.  He rubs a hand tiredly up his face and then through his hair, taking a breather to himself. It's interrupted whenever he hears a small voice call out.

"Harry?"

"What is it, Louis?"

"M'hungry."Louis whispers around his Paci, hugging skittles tightly to his chest as he looks at Harry with wide blue eyes and tears still on his cheeks. Harry hadn't noticed that Louis had been crying in his sleep, or even that he was awake before now.

"Yeah, okay. Is cereal okay?"His voice turns extremely soft as he talks to Louis who nods his head sheepishly, happy with eating anything right now. He's not up to argue and neither does he want to right now, not after Harry had snapped at him and made all of his fears resurface again about Harry.

"I'm sorry."

"What?"

"I said, I'm sorry."Louis mumbles, casting his eyes down to the table whenever Harry turns do look at him in confusion."For making you angry in the car, for being a 'fucking brat', for you having to be stuck with me. I'm not good with people, that's obvious, and I'm especially not good with people that are close with my Daddy because he's mine. And I get jealous, and I'm just sorry that you're stuck with me and that I've treated you so badly."

"Louis..."Harry sighs, looking at the little who refuses to look at him, his bottom lip wobbling dangerously with another threat of tears and crying that Harry really doesn't want to deal with."You're scared, not just of what is happening right now, but what has happened to you and I get that. I'm just not use to people not liking me and when I'm supposed to be looking after your life on a daily basis, with the way that you treat me, it gets harder to actually want to do."

"Can I have my cereal now? Please?"Louis tacts on at the end, wiping away his fast running tears and hoping that Harry hasn't seen them yet.

"Sure. Coco puffs okay?"

I just wanted to write a sort of development between Harry and Louis' relationship and let me tell you if you hadn't read the first A/N THIS WILL NOT TURN INTO LARRY. I'm already too close to the end to change ships and I love nouis well too much.

Please tell me your opinions!

Where do you think Niall is?

What do you think Harry will tell Louis about Niall?
