Louis' totally not dumbass-ish plan

Louis leaned against the wall in the lobby, waiting for the other to freshen up. He was once again reminded of how cute the other looked when he'd just woken up. It took every bit of his self-control not to do something... rash. But he had a plan, and he had to stick to it. He could go feral afterward. 

It was a crazy idea; he knew it. Maybe even psychopathic. But... this was the only option he saw in front of him. It was simple: if Elias was only going to care about him when he was hurt, then he'd get hurt. And he'd do it while saving the other, so Elias would feel indebted to care about him.

He had it all planned out. The plan was simple. They'd go out for lunch, and then, unfortunately, they'd get into an "accident." Thankfully, nothing major. But it would injure him just enough to be considered serious.

He bit his bottom lip, deep in thought. This was crazy. He knew this could go very, very wrong, but he was willing to take the risk. If it was the only way to convince the other to stay with him, he'd... he'd do it. Without a second thought or complaint.

He was dragged out of his thoughts when he heard footsteps and turned to see Elias walking out. Elias looked more refreshed, though there was a slightly dazed look in his eyes- probably from lack of sleep.

"Done already?" Louis asked, tone casual, as he eyed the blonde's appearance. Elias was dressed casually, in a light blue hoodie and black skinny jeans. It was... endearing, really, that he hadn't changed at all in his fashion sense.

Louis pushed himself off the wall, a slight smile on his face. He hadn't expected the other to look this cute in that hoodie- it made him look... softer, somehow. He resisted the urge to pat elias' head and instead said, "...You look nice."

They soon got into the car as Louis drove to the first location he'd planned. He took them to a villa he sometimes used as a getaway, due its beautiful view and calming atmosphere.

The ride to the villa was mostly silent. Louis tried chatting, but he didn't get much of a reply. Mostly just hums and nods. He assumed Elias was still half asleep, and that was confirmed, when he glanced sideways and found him nodding off in his seat. It was all quite cute, really.

They reached the villa soon after, and he parked the car. Walking around to the passenger side, he offered a hand to help Elias out.

"...Where are we?" Elias asked, blinking away the sleep in his eyes as he felt the car come to a stop. He took the outstretched hand, trying to hide the light blush on his cheeks at the gesture. Instead, he focused on their surroundings. They were in the driveway of a luxurious seaside villa. It looked like a typical holiday retreat for a rich businessman, which, he figured, it was.

Louis chuckled, continuing to hold his hand. He noticed the questioning gaze and smiled. "Patience, doctor. You'll see in a moment," he replied, before pulling the other along to the villa entrance. "Come on, hurry up."

The villa's surroundings were quite beautiful. It sat at the edge of a forested area, with a large pool facing the seaside in front. The air was slightly cool, overall calming and relaxing. The building was large, painted in a cream shade, with large windows offering a candid view of the interior. Birds chirped in the distance, adding to the quaint and inviting feel. It was clear the place was well maintained, with the lawn trimmed and clean, though it didn't look frequently used.

Louis opened the door for him, leading him inside to the indoor pool area. Usually, he wasn't this much of a gentleman, but... something about the blonde brought out his softer side.
