Little Ball of Fur- Larry Stylinson

=^.^= Chapter 11 =^.^=

Harry opens the door wider, letting the new hybrid into his home. Liam hastily walks up to Louis, wrapping his arms around him.

"Louis, you're alright. I was worried sick when I couldn't find you." Liam states, pulling away from the lad, but still sticking close. "How are you, are you ok? Did anybody hurt you?" Liam asks. Louis shakes his head. He's been good, really good, great even. Harry has been nothing but a gentleman when it comes to him.

"As much as I love this heartfelt reunion, can I know how in the world you were able to find Louis?" Harry states from his position in the hall.

"I followed his scent." Liam offers. Harry just nods, as if it was the most common explanation he had ever heard. "I'll be happy to explain more, but would you mind if maybe I got some water? I'm parched." Liam tells Harry. Harry goes off to fetch him water, leaving the hybrids alone. Liam takes the opportunity to ask what he wanted to ask Louis ever since he got here. "Harry isn't forcing you to stay here is he?" Louis shakes his head furiously.

"No. Louis wanted to stay. Harry nice." He claims as Harry walks back into the room. He hands Liam the water and they walk into the lounge, sitting on the sofa. Harry and Louis sit on the sofa and Liam takes the love seat, still uneasy about Harry.

"So Louis told me you guys left together, but what happened to you after. He says you went missing?" Harry asks genuine curiosity plaguing his thoughts.

"Well, it's a bit of a long story, but I'm guessing you have time." Harry urges him forward after he says that they do. "Well I should start from the beginning..." He says. He collects his thoughts and tells his story.

"The day we were adopted, it was only supposed to be me. I couldn't leave without Louis though, so I convince the young couple to adopt him as well. He was cute after all who wouldn't want him. The couple signed the papers and forked over the one thousand dollars each that was required to adopt a hybrid. It was looking good, and I thought for sure we were finally free. What I hadn't expected was them to actually say we were free. When we walked out and to their car, they stopped is before we could climb in. They told us we were no longer bounded to the adoption center. We were free to go. At first we both just stood there, thinking that maybe they were joking. The man then explained that the only reason they came in today was to free a hybrid from the conformity of such a place. The couple did not like the idea that hybrids were kept locked up because they weren't considered true people. So they repeated that we were free and got in their car and drove away. Louis and I just looked at each other confused. We figured we might as well walk, since we didn't want them to see us just standing there. We walked for hours before I couldn't take it anymore. Louis was looking equally tired."

"So we stopped in alley. I told Louis I would go and find us some food. He agreed and sat down, while I began walking in the direction of a restaurant. I was retracing my steps when I noticed I took a wrong turn. I tried to turn back, but I accidentally crashed into some lady. I apologized, and tried to go, but I was too late. She noticed my ears and asked me where my owner was. I told her I had one and they set me free, but she didn't believe me. She tried to take me back to the adoption center, but I needed to get back to Louis. Once we neared another little plaza, I asked if I could go to the restroom. He was hesitant, but she let me. That's when I made my escape. We had walked so far though and I had no clue where I was. By the time I figured it out, it was the next day and Louis was long gone. I've been searching for him for days, but I couldn't find him. But now here I am, and there you are Louis so I guess we're all good." With that Liam finishes his tale, looking at Harry and Louis to see their response.

"Wow that's just wow." Harry breaks the silence. He is honestly so confused about the whole ordeal, but he is glad that everyone is alright. "I'm glad you're okay."

"Louis glad too. Miss Liam very much." Louis sniffles. He started tearing up when he heard what happened to Liam. He was just glad his best friend was alright. Harry noticed the sniffle and turned to give his kitten boy a side hug. The boy purred softly, moving so he sat on Harry's lap, head tucked under his chin.

"It seems Louis likes you." Liam stated watching the two interact. Louis blushes, pushing his face more into Harry's neck in embarrassment.

"Well I like him too." Harry states, rubbing Louis' side softly. "He's been great company. I couldn't have asked for a better new friend." Liam smiles, glad that Harry is indeed nice. Liam kind of wished he had someone like Harry. Someone to hold him close like Harry was holding Louis. He watches on for a little longer, before he decides he has over stayed his welcome.

"Well I better get going." Liam says, standing up. Louis frowns, as does Harry, looking at Liam strangely. Where would Liam even go? Harry thought as he watched Liam stand. He was just about to verbalize his thoughts, when Louis beat him to the chase.

"But Liam have nowhere to go." Louis proclaims. Then an idea is in his mind. "Liam stay here." He states triumphantly. Liam just gives an uneasy smile. As much as he would like a place to call home, he'd rather not intrude.

"You could you know, if you wanted. I'm sure Louis wouldn't mind sharing his room. Right kitten?" Louis nods animatedly at Harry's words. Liam is still hesitant. He thought about the fact that if he were to leave he would have nowhere to go. He thought about possibly getting reclaimed and returning to the adoption center. He made his decision.

"Ok I'll stay." Harry beams, now having two hybrids staying with him.
