Hello

Harry looked over at the opening door with relief. He's been sitting there for hours with nothing to do except watch tv, but all Louis had was horror movies which Harry decided against watching.

His life was more of a horror movie than those.

Louis came in looking tired and irritated, but all the frustration seemed to melt away when his gaze locked onto Harry, just waiting for him on his bed. Just how he always wanted to see him.

"Hey, baby." Harry watched as he stripped down to his boxer, climbing under the covers and encouraging Harry to do the same. The captive boy didn't argue, doing as he requested of him.

"Why did you look so mad?" Harry asked, not caring that this kidnapper suddenly looked angry again.

"I don't like you being so nosy." Harry only shrugged. He lifted his hand up to touch Louis' cheek, noticing that he had bags under his eyes. Louis sighed, his body untensing as he leaned into Harry's touch.

"What are you going to do? Kill me? You've already made it clear that you sadly won't do it." Harry took his hand away, watching as Louis' whole demeanor changed. Harry watched as Louis' jaw clench, his eyes filled with anger and his face began to tint red. Harry furrowed his eyebrows and placed his hand on Louis' cheek once again, watching in fascination as the older man relaxed. It was like Harry's touch was a flip to a switch that calmed his anger.

'Interesting.'

"I'm only going to answer your question because you need to know. A business associate is coming to stay with us while he's in town, but I'll be going on a business trip with Zayn in a few days to Cuba and then Spain. He's like a brother to Zayn and I, which is why I'm letting him stay even though Zayn or I won't be here." Harry nodded.

"If he's so close to you, why do you look so pissed that he's coming?" Louis pushed Harry down so he was laying on his back, pinning his arms above his head as he straddled the boy's waist.

"You're really pushing me you know that right?" Louis asked, but he seemed more amused than angry. Glancing up, Harry tilted his head like a curious puppy.

"So are you going to answer my question?" Louis laughed, his eyes sparkling and Harry smiled slightly. But he immediately got rid of it when he realized it was there.

'Did I really just let me guard down enough to smile at this monster?' Harry thought bitterly, irritated at himself.

"Niall and I don't agree on a lot of things, but the thing we do agree on is our taste in men." Harry tensed slightly at that, biting his lip and looking away. "He's definitely going to like you as soon as he sees you and we've always had a habit of sharing our toys of the moment." Harry looked back up at him.

"Wait, at the moment? So you've kidnapped people for the same reason you took me before?" Harry inquired, something tugging in his stomach. Louis grinned down at him.

"No, love, they were all willing to take my cock whenever it pleased me. You'll get there soon enough which is why I haven't forced you. Yet." Louis chuckled, pressing a harsh kiss to Harry's lips. Harry tried to turn his head away which only caused Louis to chuckle and pull away. "Don't be mad, love, I didn't love them. No need to be jealous." Harry rolled his eyes in irritation.

"I'm the furthest thing from jealous you could get. I actually encourage you to go fuck someone else that's willing so maybe you'll let me go." Harry snapped, but Louis only smirked.

"Maybe I'll find someone while you stay here with Niall while I'm on my business trip." Louis felt Harry tense beneath him and smiled smugly at the reaction he got, the one he desired. Harry began to internally freak out, but Louis pressed a kiss to his cheek. "Don't worry, I'll have George with you when I go. He won't let anything happen to you." Harry turned his head to look up at Louis and shook his head.

"P-Please, I can't stand to see him, not after—"

"I don't have a choice, I don't have anyone else who can stay here with you. He's not stupid, he won't hurt you if you're worried about him getting revenge on you for choosing his best friend to be the one that was killed even when he begged for you to kill him." The smirk on Louis' face showed him that he chose George to be the one here on purpose, he chose him to torture him. "Then again, I could always leave you here alone with Niall—"

'I can't believe I almost fell for his charm and manipulation again!'

"—Just when I start to hate you less, you remind me why I pray for your death before bed every night," Harry growled, pushing Louis off easily since his grip loosened. Louis smiled softly, watching in amusement as Harry got off the bed and stormed over to the door.

"Where do you think you're going, love?" Louis asked teasingly, only angering Harry further.

"I'm going to sleep in my room—"

"Actually, the reason I had you stay in my room instead of us being in your room is because a few of my men are staying here tonight and I needed to let a few guys stay there. If you want to go down there, be my guest, but be prepared to choose five out of six guys who will die like Oliver." Harry stopped, his hand frozen on the door handle.

And suddenly, like when Harry's touch brought Louis out of his angered state, the mention of Oliver switch the fight and fire in him off and allowed his zombie-like state of mind to enter his head once again.

"C'mon, get in bed." Harry slowly let his hand fall from the doorknob, turning around and walking towards the bed. He laid under the covers that Louis held up for him and stared at the wall. He didn't register Louis pulling him close as he spooned him from behind, all he could do was stare blankly at the wall.
