Glitter And Dust [L.S]

𝑯𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔

Before you all read the chapter, I want to clarify something real quick.

We don't have Harry's pov in this book.
So maybe you think that he's being a little childish or stupid when it comes to certain things.

He's not. He's very intelligent, he's just being careful.

You see, Harry is a character that has lost it all and has nothing else to lose until he mets Louis.

So, in his mind he believes he's worthless, and that being cautious is the only way of protecting his family and Louis as well.

It's just his way of coping.

I hope this helps you understand him better.

ALSO! this chapter is Louis POV right from where we left it in chapter 'light'.
So he hadn't received Gemma's call yet.

He'll receive it through the chapter.

FIFTEEN / HAPPINESS

[ Louis' POV ]
Doncaster.

After I convinced Harry to come sleep at my place, I drove us both - and all his belongings - to my flat.

I wanted nothing more than for him to stay home with me, to have a place of belonging once again.
I really needed him to like and accept my place as his'.

Because right now it seemed impossible for me to let him go back to the streets.
It just wasn't an option.

Once we settled at my house, Harry started looking around, timidly touching some decorations and carefully sitting on the couch.
He wandered his eyes in awe, staring at the furniture and feeling the carpet below his feet.

But still, his limbs were slightly shaking as if he was nervous.
Harry bit his lip and looked straight into my eyes as if he wanted me to tell him what to do next.

I smiled to myself and moved to sit next to him on the couch.

"Harry, angel. Do you want to take a shower?" - I asked softly at him, running his fringe out of his forehead.

"Can I?"

"Of course, you can enjoy the warm water all you want." - I smiled. - "I'll give you some clean clothes, you can also get rid of the ones you have now."

"Do I have to?"

"Only if you want. We can wash those if you prefer. But I thought that maybe they were a bit too worn out."

"Yeah, I think so."

"You can have as many clothes from my wardrobe as you want."

He smiled brightly at me and nodded.

"Okay."

"Okay, let me prepare the bathroom for you and then I'll go check out on Emily."

"I'm fine, Loser!" - I heard her shout from her room and I rolled my eyes.

"I'm going to check on you either way!"

Harry laughed and I smiled back at him.

"C'mon, love." - I stood up, extending my hand to him.
