Marvin The Fish Saves The Day!

Okay, I don't understand the commenting system on this site. I see people just posting really odd things that at first sound offensive but also seem like they're reacting to certain parts...I'm so confused. Why is Wattpad so confusing? Comments on Ao3 are like fully detailed paragraphs and on here it's screaming profanities. I need to do some research!

"What was that all about," Liam asks Zayn.

"Niall and Josh were full on making out right in front of Louis," Zayn whispers to his husband.

"So he saw?"

"Not all of it. He came to tell me right away."

Liam sighs, "Well, at least there's one thing he already knows is a no-no."

"Li, I swear I do not want Josh around the boys. What if he tries to do something to them," the black-haired man worries.

"I honestly don't think he would," Liam says. He pauses deep in thought, "I see your point though. I don't even know where we would begin to explain to Harry what they were doing if he did see. We made a promise to protect him."

"And Louis."

"You know, I was honestly worried about him yesterday. With all of the crying and fighting and what not. But he already seems to be adjusting quickly. And, I know what you're going to say, 'Don't count your chickens before they hatch,' but he genuinely seems to be fitting in."

"He called me Papa," Zayn blurts.

"Really," his husband says enthusiastically.

"Yeah," he smiles. The husbands hug each other for a good ten seconds.

"Have you, by any chance, noticed Louis acting strangely this afternoon, though," Liam asks.

"Shit. Yeah I have. I was going to pull him aside, but I got caught up with Josh."

"Do you want Harry or Louis," the brunette asks.

"Hmmmm, why don't we wait and see what the problem is first. Seems like a lot of this is turning out to be a two person job."

They walk back to the room that they left the boys in but stop to observe their interactions.

Both of the littles are sitting criss cross on the couch. Louis is on the edge and Harry is in the middle and their knees are touching. The older of the two appears to be in discomfort but he is still listening and nodding at the bubbly one.

"Did you wike NiNi?"

Louis hesitates to answer. How brutally honest is he allowed to be? Niall wasn't bad. He seemed very nice actually. But, Louis slightly understands why Zayn seemed so uncomfortable during the visit. The blond boy misbehaved and was disrespectful, and as much as Louis was disrespectful to his own kidnappers, he didn't want Harry around that kind of negativity. If those bad actions rub off on the sweet boy in front of him, Louis will definitely tear the Irish kid's head off. Harry should never have to deal with corruption.

"He was... nice," Louis replies.

"Your arm," the boy says pointing down to the tattoos, "is so cool!"

Louis chuckles in surprise. "Thank you, Harry."

"Daddy and Papa has tattoos!"

Louis' eyes go wide and his mouth drops a little. "Really?"

"Uh-huh! All over! Arms! Tummies!"

"I want to see them now," Louis admits.

"See them in the summer," Harry smiles.
