“I’m sorry – I don’t mean to,” He mewled, curling himself into Louis despite the slight discomfort it brought him as his bruises pressed against the older’s skin. But it was worth the slight pain he felt, he just wanted to be close to Louis - it made him feel better. And part of him wished he never got into it with Zac, but from his prospective he was defending Louis…something he’d never admit out loud. “I missed you too,” Harry exhaled, and he had. Oh God, had he missed Louis. He missed his words of comfort, his touch and reassuring kisses - that unfortunately for him, were too short. Harry shook his head in response to the older’s suggestion statement. “Will you get in the tub with me?” He asked softly, “I don’t want to be without you.”
It was unexplainable for Louis how he truly felt when he was with Harry, how everything fell in place & he was, once again, whole. & It was just with Harry that he felt completely happy, missing him was something he never gave too much thought to it because it made it real, that he was gone; Louis missed Harry constantly & he didn’t like it, he felt empty & naked in the darkness when he missed Harry. ‘ Don’t, I understand. ’ He said with a nod as he wrapped his arms softly around him & placed a kiss on his head. ‘ Yeah, of course; are you sure you gonna be okay ? ’ The least the older wanted was to give pain to his beloved. ‘ C’mere. ’ He breathed out as he slowly left the bed & carefully picked Harry uup bridal style despite him being a size or two too big & heavy but Harry was thinner lately, so he was lighter; & carried him to the bathroom, letting him sit on the toilet as he started to fill the tub.
The younger nodded his head in response to the older's question, "I'll be fine", he muttered meekly, allowing the older to swoop him up and carry him towards the bathroom. As he was set down, Harry remained silent as he lowered himself onto the toilet, wrapping his arms around his waist as he watched his boyfriend lean over the bathtub and turn the dial for the water to come on. “Thank you,” He spoke, his voice cracking slightly as the words left him - his gaze transfixed on the water as it left the bathtub faucet. “I really missed you while you were away - I was counting down the days...I guess I was off one, hm? You deciding to come back to me earlier then I thought,” His voice sounded strained slightly, as he was attempting to sound a bit more chipper than he felt. He had truly missed Louis -- it never too much for him to. A quick trip to the store, perhaps when he was especially needy even a bathroom break was a bit too long for his liking. “Missed you so much..”
