Recovery can be a beautiful and painful process. Either for the person who is trying to overcome this obstacle, or it can be on the person who has to stand by and watch. Louis doesn't know which is worse. Seeing Harry going through this, or standing off to the side and feeling hopeless in trying to alleviate any ounce of pain. But the days do go on, and Harry continually works to get healthy again.

It's been about five months since the accident, and Harry is nearly fully recovered from everything. He still has some leftover scrapes on his body, like the fainted scar across his forehead, but Louis reminds Harry everyday how beautiful he is. Nearly every night Louis will press a kiss to that scar and tell Harry he loves him, and sometimes he tells himself that he is so grateful Harry was able to survive and the scar is nothing but a sweet reminder of Harry's survival.

Harry also started taking classes again. He ended up having to drop the ones he was already enrolled in for the spring term considering he was not able to properly function his brain. Instead, he signed up for classes over the summer and opted to spend the entire break catching up the classes he had to drop so he can remain on track to graduate. Just the month prior, Harry had passed his cognitive test and showed great signs of being able to think and to process and utilize information like he had before his minor brain damage.

Harry has consistently been on a rollercoaster that was only going up, and he still continues to thrive as he feels more like himself everyday. He nearly forgets about what happened to him and doesn't give it any thought. The only reminder he truly has is the scar on his forehead, but since it has healed the scar isn't as noticeable.

Louis, on the other hand, grows more worrisome as the days drag on and summer gets closer and closer. Harry has noticed over the past few weeks how Louis' mind seems to be everywhere but in the moment, but Harry brushes it off as Louis stressing about school and footie. Normally Louis doesn't let his emotions get the best of him, but Harry takes note of the constant need Louis has to check his emails or research stuff online.

Like today, for example. Harry is walking out of the kitchen ready to enjoy his movie date with Louis when he notices Louis twitching in his spot on the couch. His bottom lip is pulled under his teeth and he is anxiously tapping the back of his phone. Harry watches him for a moment before he skips his way over towards the couch.

"Babe, why are you soo- fidgety?" Harry asks with a smile, raising his eyebrows when Louis snaps his head in his direction. Harry laughs fondly as he shuffles his way towards Louis and falls graciously in his lap. Louis seems to finally calm down as he adjust Harry to straddle his hip and placing his arms around Harry's waist.

"I'm not fidgety, love," Louis argues with a sigh, lips curving up as he leans forward to press a kiss to Harry's chest. Harry looks down at him and blushes, wrapping his arms around Louis' neck and twirling his fingers in Louis' hair.

"You've seem distracted lately," Harry whines dramatically. He pouts his bottom lip when Louis looks up at him amused. He begins to bat his eyelashes as he moves his hands to hold on to the sides of Louis' face. "You just need to relax. Let me help you relax," Harry drops his voice, biting down on his lip as he starts to circle his hips on Louis' lap. He giggles as he leans forward to press kisses along Louis' neck, smiling against Louis' skin when he feels the boy shiver.

"Harry Styles!" Louis laughs as he hands instinctively go to grab Harry's hips, trying to stop his movements, "You're meeting your sister in about an hour. You need to calm yourself, Curly."

"I don't want to," Harry rolls his eyes as he pulls back from Louis' neck. He tilts his head to the side and shuffles his body closer to Louis' chest until every inch of them is touching in some way, not an inch of space in between. "I want you."

Louis shakes his head with a little laugh passing through his hips. His hands move back around Harry's waist and press flat on the dip of his back. He then tilts his head upwards towards Harry and smiles sweetly at him, "Harry - baby, people are coming over."

Harry lets out a frustrated sigh and pulls back a little. He gives their body an inch of space as he leans back on his thighs to cross his arms over his chest, stubbornly rolling his eyes. "We can do it again you know. I'm 5 months out," Harry grumbles underneath his breath.

"Harry, the last time we had sex you had a migraine for a week," Louis blurts with a soft laugh, soon trying to hide it with a smile when he notices Harry's frown deepening. Louis sighs and tries to pull Harry in closer to his body again, pressing a light kiss to the side of his face.

But Louis did have a point. After Harry surprised Louis with the fancy dinner and the romantic bath, they ended up having slow sex in the bathtub. It probably wasn't the smartest idea for Harry to be the one doing the work, and after the moment happened he really wish he listened to Niall's advice in making Louis be the one doing everything - but Harry simply wanted to make Louis happy.

He tried to be slow with his movements and not cause his head to move around so much, but the feeling of having Louis inside him became too overbearing and had him losing control. His hips stuttered a lot, causing his head to move around in relation to where his body bounced. Then there was the moans coming out of Harry's sinful lips and the rapid movement of jerking his head forward to kiss Louis. The moment was great, but the day after Harry's body was sore and his head was pounding in a way that he had never felt before. So, Louis decided to not have sex with Harry until the doctor clearly states they can have sex.

"Let's just give it a month before we do it again," Louis eases when he sees Harry not budging with a smile. "Can you do that, Angel?"

"Why a month?" Harry then sighs while he moves his hands back to Louis' neck. He finally relaxes again in Louis' lap and lets his body slump forward against Louis' chest.

"Don't worry, dear," Louis brushes off, leaning his head up to wash the question away with a kiss. It seems to work as Harry gets easily distracted by Louis' lips, squeezing Louis' hair as he slowly slips his tongue inside Louis' mouth.

Their moment is quickly ruined when they have people knocking on their door, which is Gemma who is planning on taking Harry out of the flat. Louis felt like Harry needed some time away and to enjoy the fresh air outside. He also felt like Harry needed to spend some time with his sister since they hardly ever see each other, but most of all - Louis really needed Harry out of the flat so he could plan a little surprise of his own.

Shortly after Gemma had dragged Harry away, who wasn't willing to go without asking so manny question, Zayn, Anne and Jay were heading up to Louis' flat. Louis sought best that these three people were the ones who could help him plan the surprise for Harry. He trusts his mother's instinct, and Anne is the one person he needs the approval of anything from. And Zayn - well Zayn is his go to man. The one who had always been there from the start of his and Harry's relationship. He simply needed the support and the guidance from him.

"So plane tickets each are about a hundred pounds each," Zayn notes as he continues to scroll through his laptop, every now and then writing something down in the notepad whenever he finds a good price on flights, "The flights and the resort should total up to be- ," Zayn pauses as he reaches for the notepad to look at all the numbers he has written down. He is just about to do the calculations when Anne reaches over the table to stop him.

"Probably a lot, but it's no worries," She reassures with a smile, "We have all the money laid out and budgeted. Plus, we have a little extra from Harry's accident."

"Hey, check out this resort," Jay then pipes up. She was on resort duties, and the majority of the places she had found were relatively in the same price range. Now it was just a matter of which appealed to their eyes. Whenever she pulls the link up on the laptop, she turns the screen around to show everyone at the table, "Look at this one. It's nice, and it's close."

"I like it," Louis cheers, but it seems like his input doesn't totally matter as Jay seems to be seeking approval from Anne. Louis shakes his head fondly as he looks up at Zayn, noticing how the moms are ignoring their opinions and settling on each other's instead.

"It does have five stars," Anne seems to note as she continues to scroll. She clicks on the page where it shows the layout for the rooms, and she instantly brightens up. She then turns the screen towards Louis and starts to show him, finally including him on his own plan. "It looks perfect," she smiles.

"Yeah, me and Harry will get the best suite," Louis bites his lip, finally starting to picture his plan going into full force in his head. He lets out a sigh and looks back up between Anne and Jay. "The lads can all share a family room. Anne, you, Robin and Gemma can get one. I'm sure the girls would love to have their own room, and mum, you and Dan can have one with the babies. It's perfect."

Jay looks over at Anne and the both of them share a look with one another. They seem to like where this is going and both finally agree on a place for them to all stay. Louis smiles brightly as Anne reaches over to hold on to his hand, stroking his knuckles with her thumb and nodding her head approvingly.

"Sounds good, boo-bear," Jay finalizes as she reaches for the laptop again.

"So the flights are booked," Anne then begins to check off, looking over to Zayn since he was the one in charge. When he nods his head, Anne then turns to Louis since he had the next task. "The tickets are ordered?" And of course, Louis nods his head in knowing the confirmation email had been sent to him just that morning. "And Jay, once you give me the information to the place I can call to make the reservations."

"Sounds like we got ourself a plan," Jay claps before her and Anne reach for a glass of wine.

"Yeah, and I'll be there early with Gemma and Lottie to help set everything up," Zayn then reminds, looking over to Louis as if to make sure this is what he wants. "Do you know how you want everything? Did you pick a layout?"

Louis bites his lip and nods his head fast as he quickly scrambles out of his seat to go grab the layout Zayn made for him. About a month ago when Louis first came to Zayn with the idea for his plan, he had a vision of how he wanted everything to look and to go down. He ended up spitting ideas out to Zayn in hoping Zayn would simply understand and be able to draw a scene out for him.

Within a couple of weeks, Zayn met Louis for lunch to give him about four different layouts he drew up just from what Louis had told him. When Louis comes back, he hands the chosen layout to Zayn and blushes as he watches his reaction to see if it's one that he liked as well. Zayn just raises his eyebrow and looks cautiously at Louis, a little too serious for Louis' liking.

"Are you sure you want it like this?" Zayn questions, "You know you're taking all the power away from him, right? This is something he's been dreaming and wanting to plan for-like-ever. So is it worth it? Is this what you want?"

As if there is any hint of doubt in Louis' mind, he is soon distracted when he feels his phone vibrate in his pocket. He quickly pulls it out and notices he has a message from Harry, in perfect timing as he sits at this table about to make his final decision on everything. It's like Louis needed a sign, and fate sent him Harry to confirm everything he had just been planning.

This is his answer. This is the confirmation he needed to know that this is all worth it.

❤️Babe, I just went into the Disney store at the mall and guess what??

❤️THEY HAD FUCKING MICKEY AND MINNIE MOUSE

❤️And yes babe I got them. plus the matching coffee cups.

Louis shakes his head fondly before he is looking up to make eye contact with Zayn. "I'm positive this is what I want."
