Like A Brother

Louis POV:

"Lou darling, can you come back up for me?" I hear Harry's voice fill my ears while I'm snuggled into the warm fuzzy feeling of my space.

This is how Harry brought me out of my space last time I dropped, so it must be time for me to come out. Even though I really don't want to, I feel so safe in here. When I come out of my space all my problems will come back to me.

"It's okay love, just come back up." He gently soothes.

I groan a little bit as I begin to fall out of my space and back into reality. It actually felt like I was there much longer this time than I was last time.

When I regain feeling of my body, I can tell that I am still being held by Harry but now I have been flipped around in his lap with his arms wrapped around my waist from behind and his chin resting on my head lightly.

I actually feel much much better than I did before I went into my space. Now with only lingering thoughts of my flashbacks.

"Hi." I whisper, curling into Harry's chest but still not opening my eyes yet.

"Such a good boy for me." Harry praises me for coming out of my space like he asked.

He kisses my forehead as I peel my eyes open, letting me take in my surroundings. I smile a tiny bit when I see that we are still sitting in the bathroom and Harry didn't move us. For some reason the idea of leaving the bathroom freaked me out a little bit.

"Look who's here Lou." Harry says, gesturing to the doorway.

I turn a bit out of his lap so I can see what he is talking about, I see Collin standing against the door frame, looking at me sweetly.

"Hey kid." He greats.

"Oh, hi Collin." I say nervously.

Don't get me wrong, I really like Collin and all but did something happen? I don't think that Harry would just invite him over after I just freaked out before dropping into my space, unless someone got hurt. Wait did Harry get hurt while I was dropped?

Worried thoughts start to fill my mind as I turn around to check on Harry with haste. Did something happen to him while I was under?

"Sh, everything's okay baby." Harry says, calming me instantly.

"Did something happen?" I ask.

"No no, I'm just hear to talk with you. Nothing serious." Collin tells me.

I look back and forth between Harry and Collin, feeling a little bit confused at to what we have to talk about. I'm not necessarily in the mood for talking right now, my mind still feels a little bit spacey.

"What about?" I ask, feeling weirdly shy just coming out of my space.

"Nothing you need to worry about buddy, why don't we get you somewhere more comfortable though. Harry says you've been in your space for nearly five hours." Collin tells me.

My eyes widen at his words. Five hours? Harry has been sitting on the bathroom floor with me for five hours?

Before I can even question anything, Harry picks me up off of the bathroom floor, causing me to let out a little squeak in surprise. He carries me protectively to the connected bedroom where he sits us both down on the bed. While Collin sits on the leather chair that lays a few feet away from the bed.

"Harry? It may be best if I can just talk with Louis alone." He says.

I grip onto Harry's shirt tightly, not wanting him to leave and not seeing why he would have to.
