surprise UPDATE BECAUSE WHY NOT. Next update will be tomorrow or on Wednesday. Duh I'm seeing the new Star Wars movie tomorrow. So excited.

What do you think of the new cover??

Louis shrugged shyly, looking out of the window into the woods as he suckled on Harry's thumb, causing the older man to shift lightly. Harry unbuckled himself and sighed, turning to Louis with a gentle smile.

"Hey.. I'm here, okay?" He whispered and stroked gently over Louis' cheek.

Louis blinked and turned his face to Harry, looking up at him with big blue eyes that were filled with tears.

"Loui' hurt.." He murmured around Harry's thumb, whimpering slightly as he slumped down against the seat, his mouth suckling softly on the digit between his lips. It felt so soft and wet, Harry swallowed hard.

But Louis was upset and he had to help him.

"Where does it hurt baby?" Harry whispered, pushing Louis' fringe out of his face while he smiled down at the young boy, "so pretty.. My baby is so pretty." He cooed, causing Louis to smile shyly.

"A-am not.." He hiccuped in the next second, wincing, "owie daddy.." Louis sobbed quietly, cradling his tshirt up to reveal the slowly forming bruise on his tummy.

Harry inhaled harshly and unbuckled Louis, gently pulling him over onto his lap and cuddled the small boy to his chest, stroking over his back slowly.

Guilt washed over him even though he knew he couldn't be there for Louis, protecting him 24/7.

"W-what's a f-faggot?" Louis whispered, fingers playing with Harry's tie. His daddy looked pretty today.

Harry frowned at Louis' words and furrowed his brows, raising his chin up to him, "it's a mean word.. A very mean word. Who said that to you?"

"B-big boy? Louis don't know name.." He whimpered softly and nuzzled his face back in Harry's neck, his body erupting with a cry.

"You are not, Louis. You're a special, pretty boy, do you hear me?" Harry smiled and pressed his soft lips to the boys forehead, kissing him while his hair fell into his face.

"Daddy's pretty little boy.."

Louis whimpered softly and sniffled, bringing his wet blue eyes up to Harry, "a-am?" His cheeks turned a soft baby pink.

"Yes, you are." Harry stroked over Louis' blushing cheek, a small smile settled on his lips.

"B-but why kick l-Louis? D-don't do anything wwong?" Harry exhaled slowly as he listened to Louis babbling. It was adorable and hot at the same time.

"Some boys are just mean, baby. They're dealing with their own problems and take it out on other people. I won't let that happen again.. They won't hurt you again okay?" He grit his teeth together sharply for a second until his eyes turned soft again.

Harry cooed lightly and pressed his lips to Louis' cheek before the smaller boy puckered his lips out adorably.

"K-kiss?" Big eyes looked under long eyelashes up to Harry. Who hesitated.

He wanted nothing more than to kiss Louis. To press his own lips to his baby pink ones. He wanted to be Louis' first kiss. Even though he wouldn't remember.. Harry would.

"You want daddy to kiss your pretty lips? Kiss all those worries away and make your tummy feel better?"

Louis giggled shyly and nodded his head slowly, making grabby hands at Harry, "p-please?"

Harry bit down on his lip before he let go and leaned forward, his nose brushing against Louis' as he sought the smaller boy's warmth. He could smell Louis' sweet scent that clouded his mind, he could feel him underneath his fingertips.

If he looked close enough, he could even see Louis' erratic pulse.

Their lips met, colliding in their own rhythm and it was beautiful. Louis felt relaxed, at ease and totally lost as Harry's lips met his.

And Harry got pulled into Louis' spell, totally enchanted and lost in his world. In Louis.

The kiss was short and gentle, yet it was perfect.

Louis giggled as Harry pulled back and looked at him with big blue eyes, no traces of tears left. Instead he glowed, pretty blue eyes and tinted rosy cheeks met Harry's sparkling eyes.

"I'd like to do that more often daddy.."

~

"Yes. It's Harry Styles. Louis called me from school because he felt very sick.. I'm excusing him for his last period since he couldn't attend it due to his sickness."

Harry nodded firmly and licked his lips, looking down at Louis for a second, "yes I'll make sure to let a doctor check him over.. Yes ma'am. Thank you. Have a nice day"

Harry sighed as he hung up and pinched the bridge of his nose before he ran a hand through his chestnut brown curls.

"Daddy upset?" Louis said quietly and tilted his head to the side.

Harry smiled and shook his head, extending his hand out to Louis to pull him up to him, "No, baby I'm not upset. Just thinking.." He mumbled and trotted over to his bed, sitting down on it.

" 'bout what?" Louis frowned slowly.

"You."

Harry chuckled and hoisted Louis up into his lap, resting his hands on the smaller boy's lower back to steady him.

"Louis bother Daddy?" He swallowed harshly and looked down, tears filling his eyes, "l-Louis sowwy, he's always b-bad. D-don't leave, daddy" the tiny boy whimpered out, wrapping his arms around Harry's neck, clinging to the older man.

"I-is it 'cause Louis' a bad kisser? I-I'll try really hard, daddy!" He sniffled quietly and looked up at Harry.

The curly haired lad stared at Louis for a couple of seconds before he cupped his face in his big hands and pressed his lips desperately onto Louis' kissing him will all the love he could muster up.

God, Louis was perfect. Innocent and small and just Louis. He was lost in the boy.

"You are so perfect, Louis. I'm not going to leave you, never. Daddy's always going to be here, okay? He'll always be here.." He whispered breathlessly against Louis' pretty lightly swollen lips before Harry gave his lower lip a nipping kiss.

"Daddy's a little .. Overwhelmed by your cuteness, yeah?" Harry chuckled softly and stroked over Louis' hair, meeting blue big eyes.

"W-why?"

Louis didn't understand why his pretty daddy would be overwhelmed with him.

Harry laughed and kissed his nose softly, "well, because I never had someone as cute and as pretty as you. It's as simple as that."

"Oh.." Louis blushed and leaned against Harry's chest, smiling shyly.

Was he really that pretty?

His daddy thought so.. And that was enough for him. Daddy was going to protect him the next time.

"Mhm.. How was school then? Did you meet people?" Harry was burning with curiosity to hear the answers.

"Y-yes. Louis met Jess.. She's n-nice. And then there are Liam and Zayn.. But everyone calls them Ziam because they're together. They're really cute.." Louis spoke softly, fiddling with Harry's tie that he still didn't take off.

He simply didn't have the time to do that just yet because Louis was taking all his attention. But he wasn't complaining.

"Is that so?" Harry chuckled. He could still remember his own high school life pretty well.

"Yes! We had all food together and Vic is very pretty.. She has blue eyes and black curls.. Curls like daddy!" Louis squealed and bounced lightly on his daddy's lap.

Harry's eyes narrowed for just a split second. Was he jealous of a 17- year old teenage girl? He raised an eyebrow at himself. Of course he wasn't.

"Do you like her?" Harry smiled, gently stroking a few of Louis' strands behind his ear.

"Lou don't know.. She's nice. But Louis like daddy more!" The brown haired boy smiled and kissed Harry's nose softly.

"I'm happy about that.. Because I like you, too very much." Harry grinned and rubbed his nose against Louis'.

"But I want you to know that you can choose with whom you want to be with okay?"

Louis nodded slowly.

"With daddy!"

~ the next day ~

"Saved?"

Liam flicked a soft eyebrow up at Louis who was fumbling with his phone, furrowing his brows lightly. It was still slightly confusing to him.

"Um..?"

Jess, who stood next to Louis, laughed and clicked a button on his phone, saving Li under his contacts.

"Thanks.. Sorry I've just got it", Louis laughed awkwardly and blushed, looking up to see Jess grin at him.

"It's cool.."

Zayn licked his lips playfully and chuckled, pressing them to Liam's possessively, "no stealing though. Liam's my boyfriend, right?"

"Zayn, I just gave him my number, just like you did, you dork." Liam rolled his eyes gently but laughed and kissed the black haired boys nose.

"You don't have to assume that everyone's gay around you just because you are, Zayn", Jess groaned and shook her head gently.

"Everyone's a little gay, Jess." Zayn fired back and took another drag of his cigarette before he finished it off.

Louis listened curiously, staring at Zayn for a few seconds before Vic appeared out of nowhere. She wore a pink flower crown today. Louis wanted one, too.

"Is Zayn trying to seduce Louis to the gay side?" Vic flicked an eyebrow up, chuckling quietly.

"Come to the gay side, we have cookies.." Zayn smirked and wiggled his eyebrows, laughing as Liam's cheeks blushed.

"Zayn you're such a weirdo, why don't you two disappear like always and do your things." Jess shooed them off and grinned.

"I'll be definitely doing Liam."

"Gross."

The two girls said at the same time and giggled looking at each other

"I know it's crazy.."

"We finish each others'"

"Sandwiches!!"

They both squealed and grinned at each other before they turned to look at a very confused Louis.

"Don't you dare say you don't know what we just did.."

"I-I don't?" Louis swallowed heavily. He felt a bit stupid for not knowing what they just did. Wasn't it supposed to say 'we finish each other's sentences'?

"It's from Frozen..?" Vic chewed on her lip before she chuckled softly and patted Louis' arm.

"Boy, you're in for a movie night at Friday. I'll invite the boys over, too?" Vic turned to Jess who nodded eagerly.

"It's going to be fun, you have to come.. Only if you want to of course. I'll add you to the group chat, okay?"

Louis nodded bewildered and bit down on his lower lip harshly, "sure, Jess. I'll see you tomorrow then?" Vic and Jess smiled and nodded, kissing both of Louis' cheeks before they giggled and walked off.

Louis furrowed his brows and turned to see Harry leaning against a tree, standing five meters away from him. He didn't look all too happy.

Harry smiled though as Louis came closer, "I assume you're the new Casanova?" He joked and laughed, leading Louis back to his car.

It was hard to adapt to Louis' mood swings. He could switch like a light switch. Dark, bright. Teenage Louis, little Louis.

But Harry was glad that there wasn't an incident again, today. He was honestly happy for Louis. And Harry still had the moments where Louis was little. Harry didn't figure out what exactly caused Louis to slip in his little headspace yet, but he was determined to find out.

"I am noooot." Louis pouted softly and sat down next to Harry in the car, buckling himself up.

"I'm very proud of you, Louis.." Harry said after a while and turned to look at the smaller boy, a gentle smile resting on his lips.

"Your progress is great.. I'm honestly proud", Harry resisted the urge to stroke over Louis' cheek as the tiny boy looked at him, eyes sparkling softly.

"Thanks that you adopted me, Harry."

~

Louis slipped into his little space after dinner. Just like that. Like a light switch.

Harry was cleaning the table and busied himself in the kitchen, placing everything dirty in the dish washer. Until he heard a faint "Daddy" calling from the living room. He smiled softly and closed the machine, starting it.

It was Louis' and his time of the day.

"Reeeead? Louis wanna hear Peter Pan!" Louis was bouncing up and down on the couch in his cute pyjama. It made Harry laugh.

"If you can brush your teeth very quick and hop in bed? Daddy's waiting for you."

Louis scurried upstairs, hurrying with everything but he made sure to brush his teeth nicely so his daddy was happy.

The small boy slipped under the bedsheets, joining Harry finally and cuddled up to the older man who started to read another chapter out of Peter Pan.

Louis interrupted after a while.

"Daddy?"

"Mhm? Harry pushed his glasses up into his hair, looking down at Louis with gentle calm green eyes.

"Can you put your finger in my bum again? It felt really good.."
