Up, up and away [A Larry Stylinson Fanfic AU]

Chapter 42 : A cupcake.

*[Louis POV]*

"Alright.. Let's go Haz.." I beamed at my boyfriend while holding out my hand for him to take. He shakily looked at my hand and nodded. The moment we got in, I furrowed my eyebrows not knowing what changed the boy's mood. "Harry?" his eyes remained blankly on the ground, and he just stood on the ground behind me. "Harry.. what's wrong, love?" I cooed while gently caressing the side of his cheek. It took him a few seconds to snap back to reality, and looked to meet my eyes. "Sorry.. " he murmured sounding hoarse, and dry. "I was just thinking about that secret.. and how something about it seemed out of line.. S'all.. I promise.." I gave him a smile to hopefully make him aware of how much he meant to me, and I pulled him in for a kiss.

At first he wasn't all up for responding, but the moment I swiped my tongue on his bottom lip. he responded just as eagerly, kissing in such a slow, mild manner that I felt as if I hovered above my body in just a second. "I love you.." he whispered oh-so-slightly while pulling me away, and capturing my hands in a strong hold. "And I love you.." I snorted with a chuckle. "See, I told you they'd get-together!" I hear Georgia chuckle as she made her way to greet us.

My eyes met hers, and she simply lolled her had back even more. Mary rolled her eyes, and gave me a re-assuring nod; which in turn, I returned with a stern gaze. "U-Um.. We a-actually a-are together.. for a while now.." Harry tried correcting the girl. Georgia gawked and eyed Mary who just simply smirked knowing full well about that information. "B-But.. SINCE WHEN?!?!" she exasperated -- throwing both her hands up in the air completely forgetting that she had a silver tray by her hands. Mary sighed while catching the tray -- no problem."George, you should really just stick with your job.."  Mary sneered and handed me a few paper files at my free hand.

Georgia rolled her eyes, but it was evident that she felt embarrassed also with tints of red flourishing in her cheeks. "Yeah, yeah.." she sighed in defeat while eyeing all of us giving a slight bow; tilting herself mere inches, and left with a wave. "So.. what's in the tray Mars?" Niall asked from behind us with Zayn trailing off from behind. She gave him a little snort, and opened up the tray. Inside was a single cupcake with "Harry" written on it with what I think was chocolate syrup. Niall just pouted with a huff,  and crossed his arms in protest.

My boyfriend gave me a little curious gaze, as I analyzed it thoroughly. Zayn came in beside me not knowing what I was scrutinizing at it for. "Dude, it's safe.." he tried re-assuring me. I looked at him for a second, and delved into a tiny amount of pastry, and handed the boys some to test. Liam arrived minutes later, giving a curt wave at Danielle as she got inside her ride, and followed in on our little 'meeting'. I gave him a piece also, and we each took one hesitant bite; carefully popping them into our mouths.

Niall looked satisfied but still hungry, Zayn just shrugged, and Liam looked confused while still chewing on his piece. Harry eyed me hungrily, and I nodded hesitantly not knowing if I did the right thing or not. Then, as if on cue, he smiled in my direction, and poked his tongue at it, and soon he had the whole thing down his throat. "That was d-delicious Mary.." he nodded to her with a blush. Mary looked taken back and shook her head. "No Master Styles.. That was delivered just for you.. I.." Harry widened his eyes and nothing came out of his mouth.

I squeezed his shoulder, and gave him that 'I'll-track-them-down-if-anything-happens' look, which in turn, he nodded shakily as he took my hand on his... and took me upstairs.

"Louis.. What if it can be poisonous.. I.." he swallowed thickly while pulling me in on bed with him. I gave him a reassuring smile, and lay down with him trailing after me. I faced him in amusement. "Well, if it was poisonous.. I'll be dead by now.. and so are the rest of the boys.." he widened his eyes and nodded. "But look.." I fumbled for his hand, and placed it on top of my own. "I'm still here aren't I?" I pecked his forehead letting it linger. "I'm still talking aren't I?" again he nodded. "Then you shouldn't be worried.. plus.. if we did die, we'll all die together aye?" I crooned against his neck.

His chest vibrated as he laughed sounding like chimes. "That is true... but.." he halted immediately. "Why exactly would I get a cupcake with my name on it.. and not you guys also?" I took his question into consideration, and hummed silently as I took a look at the ceiling. "Plus.. I don't know anybody here in Doncaster apart from you and Cher.. and Uncle Si.." he added; laying back also. We both remained silent at those moments and just breathed like we were in our own little words...

Why exactly 'did' he get such a thing? Mary would know if something was dangerous .. or filled with sedatives or poisonous chemicals on them.. so why.. Why do I get this weird feeling that it was something else..?

*{Harry POV}*

A few minutes of silence, and my eyes flew to Louis who just lay there.. Silently breathing in and out with such an unreadable expression on his face. Casually, he would bite his lip, and squint at the ceiling, but he said nothing. He was in that deep of thinking that he didn't notice that I got changed. I stared at my hands, and flexed it a bit.. just minor stretching.. nothing more.. I didn't notice him get up the bed, until his cool arms wrapped themselves around my waist, and bury his nose into my neck. "You should've let me see you change next time.." he whispered with mild-humour in his voice.

"Ha! You wish, love.." I winked with a cheeky smile on my face, and ran out the door as fast as I could. I heard his footsteps gently follow mine, but I couldn't help but giggle in the process.. I felt alive for once pretending to be an innocent elk, and just running away from the mountain lion. It was a true joy that Louis actually played along with me, along with the rest of the gang... If you can call it that.. We were practically playing cat and mouse to beauty and the beast.. 

The boys played their act well, and acted like one of the characters.. With Niall having his hair spiked up with red icing on his hair (don't ask) to represent the candle lad. Zayn, coming in with the plain old tea cup with one of his hand craned to his hip, and his other hand up and tilted slightly. And, Liam being the 'special' boy he is, went to the washroom, and drew the arms of a clock on his forehead, and claimed to be the clock. I couldn't help but lol my head back in laughter in how hilarious it was.. The brunette seemed oblivious to it, but the rest of the boys, minus Liam laughed in fits of howling (again.. don't ask.)

I couldn't help but wipe a tear that unknowingly slid of my eye, and wrap an arm around my beast who was clutching at his ribs so hard he nearly busted a gut trying to stop himself from laughing. "Oh gosh... can't-- stop-- laughin!!!" Niall bellowed while pounding hard on the floor with his stomach on the carpet. Liam didn't even know what we were laughing about, and cracked a goofy smile trying to fit in, not even knowing we we're laughing at his little costume.. It was bloody hilarious! I nearly wee'd myself in the process, but held it in.

Everything seemed fine, at the moment, but when I took a step, I felt my legs disappear from under me almost as if by magic, and I felt myself literally falling, until I felt myself winded slightly with a pair of strong arms around my waist. "Haz?! Are you okay?! Haz?!?" he called out frantically. I wanted to respond to stop him from literally screaming in my ear, but I felt no movement in my body as the sounds become slightly muffled, and the blackness surrounded me in an instant.. Was I dying?
