Chapter 17 

Louis was expecting and aggressively praying that it would go on without too much excitement, he just wishes for one day of normalcy and not filled with unexpected serial killers, long lasting love devotions and Harry's uncontrollable teasing.

Well maybe it wasn't Harry's fault that he was literally sex on legs because damn how badly Louis wanted to climb that boy like a tree but being surrounded by not only three nosy housemates but also his family which consists of underage children and babies makes his boner an instant no go.

But of course, it was impossible to even have that.

Louis had a vivid dream that involves a lot of nakedness, a lot of Harry and so much chocolate so he wasn't really that surprise to wake up with a large tent on his boxers.

He also noted that Harry was not in sight and the pillow and blanket that he used was neatly folded on the foot of his bed. He wondered where he had gone off too but then he heard a lot of childish squealing downstairs and he was hoping it to be his siblings but he had gotten used to the sound to know that it was Niall and Harry, not Ernest and Doris.

Louis groaned and smothered himself with his pillow because he was so not in the mood to wake up but he knew if he stayed longer on his bed, someone might barge inside and with so much people on his house, it wasn't the most impossible thing to occur.

So Louis begrudgingly lifted himself off the bed to take the coldest shower because the childish shrieking is preventing him from doing anything else.

Fuck it all.

After cleaning himself and making himself a bit presentable, he went down to greet his family which were all awake, he didn't even notice what time it is but the sight of everyone getting along brings a lot of warmth inside of him.

"Oh darling, you're awake." Jay immediately pulled him in a hug and peppering his cheeks with kisses.

"Hi Mom, why didn't you wake me." Louis said, he couldn't help but smile when his mother let him go.

"Harry told me not to wake you because you still needed to rest to fully heal, how are you feeling?" She asked as they walked towards the hallway to understand each other better because the living room was just too crowded and Niall was loud.

"I'm feeling much better now." Louis answered him truthfully.

He had plenty of rest already and he knew that for a few more weeks he'll be fully healed, he couldn't wait to leave all the memories behind once and for all.

"That's great to hear, why don't you go to the kitchen, Harry is in there." She ushered him before she walked back to the living room to watch her children and stop them from destroying the living room or in other cases, prevent Niall from destroying it further.

"Hi Lou, Good Morning." Harry greeted when he saw Louis entering the kitchen.

Harry was standing next to the dining table, setting up food.

He was of course wearing a black striped pantsuit and some skin tight black shirt and Louis curses him so much because he looked better than the models that Louis worked with in the company.

"Hi Harry." Louis sighed fondly because it's just so Harry to be preparing breakfast while wearing a thousand dollar outfit.

He guessed that it was a thousand dollar outfit especially now that Harry was wearing it.

"I prepared you some breakfast, why don't you eat it first before we all head out to the mall." Harry said as he pulled the chair for Louis to sit in.

"We're going to the mall?" Louis asked in confusion once he was sat on the chair and his nose was immediately assaulted by the delicious smell of bacon and freshly made garlic toast with egg.

Louis was just about to dig into his breakfast when suddenly there was a hand grasping his face and he was already being kissed deeply.

He didn't even got to react properly because Harry was already pulling away.

"Oh, Good Morning to you too." Louis blinked, his mind was still a bit muddled with sleep but he wouldn't mind getting to be greeted in the morning with delicious food and a kiss.

Louis always thought he had to sell his soul for that to happen with Kyle but Harry wasn't Kyle so thank god for that.

"You look so beautiful I couldn't resist." Harry smirked before wiping some spit out of Louis' still gaping mouth.

Louis shook his head to get himself together, Harry should have given him tea first so be wasn't that slow. That's what he did immediately, downing the warm tea and sighing in content.

"You look amazing too, it seems your outfit screams more of coachella party than going to the mall." Louis pointed out when Harry sat opposite to him, drinking his coffee.

"Thank you." Harry smiled before stealing a piece of blueberry from Louis' plate.

"How many suits do you own." Louis asked with a curious brow after finishing up the waffles.

"A lot." Harry answered simply.

"Don't you have normal clothes?" Louis questioned him.

Louis wasn't sure if it's the normality of the clothes or Harry Styles just not look normal wearing normal clothes, he was sure he had seen him wearing an old sweatpants at least once but he doubted himself if they were normal sweatpants or fashionably designed sweatpants made to look old.

"Do you not like it?" Harry suddenly asked, frowning a little.

"Of course I like it." Louis quickly explained so he wouldn't hurt Harry's feelings or be the reason for him to be insecure.

Louis actually loved seeing Harry flaunt it without a care in the world.

"But if we're going to the mall I want you to be comfortable and not trying to make an impression to my family because they obviously adore you even if you wear Niall's clothes." He added reassuringly.

Harry could probably start a trend if he started to wear Niall's clothes, that's how good he pulls an outfit off.

"Well okay, I'm going to change while you finish your breakfast." Harry said with a smile as he stood from his chair and placed his dishes on the sink.

"Will do." Louis nodded before shoving a piece of bacon into his mouth.

"I'll be right back." Harry chuckled before he left the kitchen to find a change of clothes.

Harry literally skipped on his way out and Louis couldn't help but shake is head and chuckled softly at the ridiculousness of a giant grown up man skipping.

Louis thought he was finally going to have some time for himself but then his eldest sibling came just as Harry left. He never actually had the chance to talk to Lottie yet and interrogate her of possibly hiding boyfriends like Louis is currently doing.

"Good Morning Lottie." Louis greeted his sister.

"Morning Lou." Lottie replied.

She took the seat right in front of Louis and gave him a calculated look before speaking again.

"So, you and Harry huh?" 

Louis was thankful for not having food in his mouth or he would have choked. She just dove right in, not even trying to ask Louis a question like 'How's the weather going?'.

"What?" He was surprised by the question of course.

"You and Harry are a thing." Lottie said, more of a statement rather than a question.

Louis cleared his thought and tried to come up with a random excuse but he drew blank, Lottie has always been perceptive and there wasn't any way for him to lie his way out.

"How did you know that?" Louis asked in disbelief.

Lottie merely rolled her eyes at his brother's reaction.

"Besides having to endure watching you two staring like you'd eat each other up if we weren't there last night was anything to go by." She snickered teasingly.

"Was it that obvious?" Louis questioned her because Harry and him didn't really try to be subtle about it.

Lottie shrugged before taking a strawberry from Louis' fruit bowl and popping it into her mouth.

"To me it was but I don't think mum knows. Why won't you tell her about Harry? He's fucking fit Lou." Lottie raised her perfectly shaped eyebrow at him.

Hiding his relationship wasn't the initial plan but it seems that's how everyone who has an idea thinks and that sucks because even Harry thinks the same way.

"Do not fantasize about my boyfriend." was the only thing Louis was able to come up with.

Louis grumbled to himself when Lottie tried to take another strawberry so he did what a caring brother would do, moving the fruit bowl away from her because Harry prepared this for him not her.

"All I'm saying is, you shouldn't be ashamed to introduce him to mum. She'll love him." Lottie shrugged and let his brother keep his fruits.

Louis frowned and let out a little sigh because to anyone's perspective, it does seems like he was hiding Harry instead of flaunting him, he was damn lucky Harry even felt the same way towards him, surely there's a long line of people who would die to be on his spot right now.

"I'm not ashamed god but it feels like it's too soon you know." Louis mumbled almost to himself.

"Elaborate." Lottie gestured for him to go on.

It felt like she was the older one between the two of them but who is he to question her if she was only trying to help.

"I just came out of a really long relationship and it all went to shit, me and Kyle knew each other very well before we got together and he still ended up cheating on me." Louis muttered a little sadly.

Because it was always a nagging feeling. It feels too fast and too unreal, they didn't even get to properly date because of all the things that happened and now Louis has an overly gorgeous perfect boyfriend and it all seemed staged.

"Kyle was a dick head, I never liked him." Lottie commented in distaste.

Louis chuckled lightly because he remembered how his family never actually tried to hide their dislike against his ex boyfriend.

"I know, you make it so obvious you never even tried to keep it a secret." Louis replied to her.

"But Harry and Kyle had nothing a like, Harry is so much fit." Lottie sighed in response.

The idea of his younger sister thinking dreamily about Harry does not sit well with Louis.

"What did I say about fantasizing about my boyfriend." Louis glared at her.

"All I'm saying is you should go for it before it's too late."

"Thanks Lottie." Louis said honestly because he'll tell his family later and show them how damn lucky and proud he was of Harry.

Speaking of the angel.

Harry went back to kitchen looking completely different, like this was a whole new version of Harry that Louis has yet to see.

Harry was wearing all black, skin tight jeans that looked painful to even look at. It was ripped on the knees paired with a black body fitted shirt and a jacket made of fucking leather.

"So I can't decide if I should go for the scarves or no scarves." Harry asked with a small frown as he stared at the brown woolen scarf on his hand.

"Fuck me." Louis muttered under his breath as he eyed Harry lustfully.

There's no better time than to imagine climbing Harry like now.

"What?" Harry asked, not clearly hearing Louis but knows that he said something.

"Nothing." Louis coughed awkwardly, remembering his sister was here and might have heard him.

"Too obvious bro, Hi Harry." Lottie snickered before standing from her seat and giving Harry a light hug.

"Hi Lottie." Harry smiled at her once she pulled away.

"I'll be leaving you two alone, keep in mind of the little kids that may wander around here." Lottie commented before winking at the both of them and chuckling to herself.

Harry only raised a questioning eyebrow at Louis but Louis was too focused on the clothe's Harry had prepared to assemble.

"Hey, do you not like what I'm wearing?" Harry asked thinking that Louis' reaction was a negative one.

Louis has had enough of this fashion torture.

"The first time I met you, you were wearing a fucking Hawaiian shirt like it's nobody's business and then all this flawless suits. Prancing like fucking prince charming and now you look like a fucking pop star all of the sudden? Is there a look that doesn't suit you?" Louis exclaimed in frustration.

"I haven't gotten a chance to wear a kilt." Harry grinned before putting the scarf down to the table and closing in on Louis so he was trapped between Harry and the table.

They weren't really subtle about this relationship.

"Of course you haven't." Louis rolled his eyes.

"Also, there are a lot of word 'fucking' used in your sentence." Harry murmured close to Louis ear that it made the hairs on the back of his neck rise.

"Let's just go before I do something inappropriate." Louis quickly said.

They should move from their spot before someone came in, also he might start doing something that he might regret later.

"I'd let you do inappropriate things to me." 

Harry grinned innocently but let him go, moving his hands away from Louis ad letting him walk past.

"Christ it's gonna be a long day." Louis shook his head and picked all his dirty dishes up to the sink.

●▬▬▬▬๑۩۩๑▬▬▬▬●

They all went to the mall and Louis forgot when the last time he even last visited a mall.

He was just not the type to go out and buy things impulsively, malls had a strategic thing on making customers buy things they don't need.

His family seemed very excited though and they all decided to split up eventually because it was a hassle to go over every store that each person wants to visit.

Louis' mum took Daisy and Phoebe to the food stalls followed by Niall who was carrying Biscuit, the mall had a no pets allowed policy so Louis didn't know how the fuck Niall got Biscuit in, probably has connections.

Lottie and Felicity went with Liam and Zayn towards the make up isle, Louis doesn't have a clue why those two tag along but he knew something was seriously unnatural about Zayn's smokey eyes, probably make up but who knows.

So Louis took the younger twins, Ernest and Doris with Harry so they can visit the clothing isle, he was thinking of buying some new clothes for them and Harry was eager to assist him.

"We are not buying a suit for Ernest." Louis told Harry firmly, ignoring the pout that he was giving Louis.

"Oh come on, look how adorable this is." Harry insisted while still holding the mini gray and white suit.

It would definitely look adorable on Ernest but what would he even do with it?

"He wouldn't even use it, I want him to wear something comfortable like when he's playing and not attending the Grammy's" Louis huffed in exasperation.

It was like having a small child despite already having two small children with them, Louis was stuck with three it seems.

"It has a matching tie!" Harry added eagerly.

"Drop it." Louis stated flatly before going over another isle with normal children clothes while holding Ernest's hand because he still can't carry him around.

"Fine." He heard Harry sigh in defeat before following them shortly with Doris in hand.

"Come on Doris, why don't we go look for dresses." Harry carried Doris also and started walking to the little girls section.

"Do not buy any flashy dress or god forbid a gown for Doris." Louis grumbled to Harry.

He already knew what he would do especially with no supervision.

Like a child honestly.

"No promises." Harry grinned before waving at both of them.

Louis glared at the on lookers because of course people are ogling over Harry because of his amazingly hot outfit but he knew Harry will be fine so he went back to finding shirts for Ernest.

"Do you like this shirt Ernie?" Louis asked after seeing a nice dolphin printed white shirt that looked super comfortable unlike the flashy suit earlier.

"I wont the sewt Lou-Lou." Ernest grinned at him cutely.

Louis sighed and just placed the shirt on the basket.

"You are just being influenced, go for your own style and don't be a copy cat." He told his little brother sternly.

Their mother will probably be supportive if ever Ernest started having expensive taste on clothing but Louis was not having it, he already had one obsessed and that was enough already.

He took a few more shirts and shorts for Ernest until he was satisfied.

"Let's go find your twin alright." Louis told Ernest.

Ernest already looked bored and it wasn't long before he started whining so he and Harry should take both of them somewhere to play.

Louis knew it wouldn't be hard to look for Harry because he was really tall so it was a quick search party, they found Harry and Doris looking over some tutus and Louis shouldn't be surprised but what made him annoyed was the woman standing next to Harry. Even if Louis was a few feet away he knows that she was flirting with him.

"Is this your daughter?" The woman asked with a big creepy smile.

"No, I'm afraid not." Harry politely answered.

Doris had hidden behind Harry's legs because she was a bit scared of the woman who was smiling like a maniac.

"She looks adorable." The woman gushed and tried to pinch Doris' cheek but she moved away quickly before her manicured hands touched her face.

"Thank you." Harry said, his smile not faltering for a bit.

He was too polite for his own good.

"If she's not your daughter, are you single?" The woman asked straight to the point, making her intentions clear as day.

Louis had to give credits for her bluntness.

"What?" Harry was surprised at the question, not expecting it at all.

But before Harry can even answer, he was already close so he took Harry's hand and interlaced it with his own.

"Excuse me, Hi babe." Louis greeted Harry before kissing his cheek and glaring openly at the woman.

"Oh, hi Lou." Harry said before kissing Louis' cheeks as well, his smile coming back at having to see Louis again.

"Who are you talking to?" Louis asked before giving the woman a once over.

"I don't know, I just met her." Harry answered truthfully.

"You're gay?" The woman asked in disappointment.

"Appears so." Harry nodded proudly. 

The smile on the woman deflates instantly.

"Why are all the hot ones either assholes or gay?" She groaned and started walking away.

"You'll find your match soon!" Harry shouted at her retreating figure.

"Were you flirting?" Louis asked in suspicion.

"Aww are you jealous?" Harry grinned at him.

Louis should have know to let Harry loose looking like sex on legs, the sight of his can get anyone pregnant.

"You should have worn your suit, people might think you're crazy so they wouldn't be flirting with you." Louis grumbled in response.

"I could be naked?" Harry suggested.

"I said for people to step away, not crowd on you." Louis glared at him.

"I want to be nakey to Lou-Lou." Doris piped in happily.

"Look what you have done." Louis told Harry.

"Don't blame me if she's a free spirit." Harry laughed before lifting Doris up and kissing her cheek making her giggle helplessly.

"Let's just leave, you might suddenly start a boy band." Louis sighed.

It wasn't unlikely for it to happen, Louis could have sworn he saw someone snap a picture at their direction.

"I'm a grown adult, it's gonna be a man band." Harry grinned mischivously.

"Dear lord give me strength." Louis groaned before making their way over to the nearest exit on the department store so he can take the twins to play.

They arrive at the mini playground found at the center of the mall and Louis let his siblings run wild, mingling with other overly excited children.

He and Harry stayed behind and planned on watching the twins, he was texting his mom and informing about their whereabouts.

"Harry?" Someone spoke from behind them which made them both turn.

"Oh my god, he has a boyfriend!" Louis snapped in frustration.

He didn't know how many people would just approach Harry and ask if he was single or not, was the hand holding not enough? Do they have to publicly fuck to get the message clear?

But then Harry was replying as if he'd known this person before.

"Jonah." Harry said lowly.

Louis felt Harry froze from where he was standing next to him and he turned to him curiously. His happy demeanor was replaced by something akin to distraught in a matter of seconds.

"You know each other?" Louis asked confused on the sudden change in Harry.

"It's nice to see you again." The guy Jonah told Harry, completely ignoring Louis' presence.

"Did I turn invisible?" Louis asked in annoyance.

He did not like the way this guy was looking at Harry and he was obviously ignoring Louis' presence, how dare he.

Harry quickly turned to Louis to take his hand.

"Of course not babe, why don't we go." Harry told him softly.

He had a good grip on Louis so he tried keeping some space between them and this Jonah guy.

"Harry!" Jonah tried to follow them but Harry did something that Louis didn't know he can do which was walking fast that they were able to blend into the crowd.

"Who was that?" Louis questioned him once Harry decided to stop hiding away, they haven't exactly ran off too far and they were still within viewing distance away from Ernest and Doris.

Thank god for that, his mother will skin him alive if he lost sight of his siblings.

"No one." Harry answered quickly like Louis would actually believe his bullshit.

"Harry Edward Styles." Louis crossed his arms over his chest and glared at Harry.

"You know my middle name." Harry mumbled, trying to distract Louis from the question.

"Stop changing the subject." Louis stated flatly with a raised brow.

Although he wasn't going to deny the fact that he found out Harry's middle when he stalked him on facebook. He was expecting Harry to have a lot of instagram worthy pictures from all of his outfits alone but all Louis saw were random song quotes, a lot of pictures of cats and family gathering shots.

"Can we just forget it even happened?" Harry asked lightly taking Louis out of his thoughts.

"Oh god, was he a bitter ex boyfriend?" Louis gasped in sudden realization.

It all make sensed how Harry had acted so hostile to him, he wasn't being judgy of Harry's choices on boyfriend since he was now one of them but Harry could do better honestly.

"Of course not, don't be silly." Harry quickly waved the idea off.

"You acted so weird when you saw him, he has got to be something." Louis insisted.

"He's an old client." Harry sighed, giving up of trying to hide things from Louis who everyone knows was stubborn as a mule.

"An old client really? It looked like there was a lot of tension between the two of you." Louis said suspiciously.

He had seen Harry interact with numerous clients before but he never had this kind of reaction before.

"Did you sleep with him?" Louis asked after a moment of thinking.

"I do not sleep with my client! That is against my work ethics." Harry said incredulously.

"Well there's a lot of weird sex talk going on so there's bound to be hard ons involve." Louis shrugged. "Or vaginas tingling?" He added with a scrunch of his nose because vaginas.

"You just made me imagine vaginas with bells." Harry thoughtfully said.

"Gross." Louis shuddered. 

Louis would rather not have a mental image.

"Also, you have to trust me, there is no such thing going on with my clients." Harry stressed out.

"Then why wouldn't you tell me?" Louis prodded.

They weren't arguing, no, of course not. No way was their argument going to be because of some creepy dude that stared at Harry like he has the fucking answer to all Gods question.

Harry was about to reply just then when someone called his name from afar.

"Harry!"

It was fucking Jonah.

"Leave now Jonah." Harry growled.

And okay, that was kind of hot.

Louis hasn't heard Harry growl ever.

"But Harry-"

"Oh my god what the hell is your problem!" Louis shouted, annoyed by this guy because he can create such hot reactions from Harry and he hated him.

"Stay out of this." The guy turned to Louis and glared hatefully.

"I'm his boyfriend, the hell if I'm gonna stand here and look pretty." Louis scoffed and returned the hateful glare back at him.

"You fucking little-" Jonah looked like he was going to hit Louis which he wasn't perfectly prepared for but Harry was quick to stop the fist from connecting to Louis stomach.

Louis felt a little scared because Jonah almost hit his side which was just fucking healing.

"Don't you dare." Harry snarled at him before pushing Jonah away and hiding Louis behind his back.

Jonah looked a little taken aback, probably not expecting Harry to fight back.

"I've given you many opportunities to start a new life but if you lay even a finger on Louis, I will personally drag you to prison myself." Harry glowered intensely.

Jonah looked pretty scared as well at having to see the maddening look on Harry that he started running away immediately, it may be because of the dark look on Harry's face or the threat of prison but Louis was happy nonetheless of having him gone.

"Fuck that was intense." Louis breathed and watched how Harry"s face turned from deadly and back into his usual soft worried ones mainly directed to Louis.

"Are you okay?" He asked in worry.

Harry was still concerned about him even if he was the one who had an episode.

"I'm fine but are you?" Louis questioned him back.

"I just don't want him near you or your family." Harry groaned in defeat.

He stepped back a few pace away from Louis to slump on a nearby empty bench.

"He won't if you tell me what he did." Louis pleaded, walking closer to Harry to try and soothe him because this was not something to be taken lightly, this was serious.

He's never seen Harry look so distraught.

They were quiet for a minute and Louis would have given up and said something on the lines like he would just wait until Harry was ready to share this information.

"He's an old client gone stalker." Harry sighed before Louis can even utter a word.

"What the fuck."

Harry suddenly looked pretty troubled and Louis shouldn't have pushed for the details but he needed to know and Harry knew that too.

"When I started helping people, he was one of the creepy ones so I stopped him from seeing me but he keeps appearing and I had to get a restraining order when he ran over my sister thinking that she was my girlfriend." Harry explained, he looked like it pained him to retell this information to Louis.

"Holy shit."

Louis couldn't help but let out a gasp in surprise, he was trying to wrap his mind on what Harry had just said. He couldn't imagine what Harry had felt after seeing someone who was harassing him and almost killed his sister but the real question was why Harry still let the guy run free.

"I can't believe he wasn't in prison yet." Louis muttered, terrified not for his welfare but for his family.

He just got attacked and almost killed not that long ago and it takes a lot of mental bandwidth to get used to the memory and now a stalker? What in the actual fuck is happening.

"I'll call my lawyer to fix this, he won't get near you again." Harry assured him.

"Sometimes I wonder what kind of fucked up universe we live in." Louis grumbled hatefully, imagining an overly awkward teenager plotting their life, surely that was delusional thinking.

Harry pulled him out of his thoughts by taking his hand and kissing his knuckles sweetly.

"At least it's a world where we can be together." Harry said with a big smile that all worry vanishes in him.

And yeah maybe it wasn't that bad... yet.
