"Harry wake up." Louis said in a calm tone.
Harry slowly opened his eyes and saw Louis standing by the nightstand with his phone. Harry then felt a wave of coldness sweep over his entire body. He had goosebumps.
"You slept through your alarm again Harry." Louis said with sympathy for the sick boy.
"Huh?" Harry said as he was still waking up.
"Are you sure you feel ok, hun?" Louis said, approaching Harry slowly.
Harry tried to scoot away but his body felt like a rock. Louis put his hand to Harry's forehead. Then Louis shook his head in disappointment.
"That's a fever, I knew it!" Louis said joyfully then remembered Harry was unwell and calmed himself.
Harry silently moved so he could rest his head on Louis's lap. Louis helped him and played with Harry's tangled hair.
"Do I still have to go today?" Harry asked into Louis's leg.
His green puppy eyes stared up at Louis like a little boy.
"Yeah, I think you might have to Haz." Louis sighed and ran hands down Harry's hot and a little sweaty back.
"Nooooooo, why does management have to be so mean?" Harry wined with his nasally voice.
"So mean, Hazzy?" Louis chuckled at the delirious boy.
"Yeah, mean and controlling." Harry clenched his fist.
Louis took Harry's fists and opened them up to hold hands. Harry smiled and so did Louis.
Just then Liam entered the room and completely ruined the moment but didn't seem to care because they were late.
"Hurry up and get ready. We're gonna be so late!" Liam panicked with his hand messaging his temples.
Once Liam rushed out of the room Louis and Harry laughed and got out of bed.
"Do you want help getting ready?" Louis asked Harry.
"Get yourself ready Lou, I'm not a baby?" Harry rasped with his arms crossed like a young child.
Louis nodded in acceptance then took one last glance at Harry before leaving the room. Harry knew Louis was also unhappy about management making him work while sick but nothing could be done.
Harry didn't have time to shower so he used a towel to dry the sweat from his fever. Then he put on deodorant and splashed cool water on his face until he felt relief.
After that Harry grabbed some sweats and threw them on. After one more nose blow he was ready to take on the day. Well, as ready as he could be, that is.
By now the rest of the band was waiting in the lobby for Harry who was apparently moving slower than he thought he was.
"It's about time Har-" almost shouted Liam but Louis stepped on his foot. This notified him to lay off the younger boy.
Liam and the boys didn't know Harry was sick because he had been stubbornly hiding the symptoms for the last two days. Of course he couldn't hide from Louis who was basically watching Harry's every move when he suspected anything wasn't right.
The boys then headed out of the hotel and into their car where they would drive to the studio to record for the new album, "Four."
At the studio Harry was called to record first for the first song of the day. Louis and the boys were in their own waiting room where they often went on their phones, practiced lyrics, or caused trouble.
"Why did you step on my foot Louis?" Liam blurted out as if he'd been thinking about this question for a while and just wanted an answer.
"When?" Niall asked.
"In the lobby." Liam answered.
"Can't you tell? Harry's not well. Cut him some slack, Liam!" Louis replied to Liam's earlier question.
"What? No." Liam argued.
"How do you know?" Zayn asked.
"He has a fever. I checked this morning." Louis said, "He's had low energy for the past few days too." Louis said.
"I didn't even notice." Niall admitted with guilt.
"Neither did I until it all clicked this morning." Louis reassured Niall.
"Did you try to get him the day off?" Zayn asked.
"Yeah, but our management is a bunch of idiots. They will be sorry when Harry has wasted his voice doing recordings, which he'll probably have to redo when he's well. Harry won't have any voice left for the concert tonight." Louis exclaimed with frustration.
"Lou-" Niall attempted.
"-No! Then Harry will feel guilty for not being able to sing, which is one hundred percent NOT his fault, and everything will just spiral downhill all because management is a bunch of fo-"
"-Louis, next." Harry croaked, as he entered the room completely oblivious to the earlier conversations.
Louis simply took a breath, stood up, and left the room. But not without kissing Harry's forehead and scuffling his hair.
The boys finally took in Harry's poorly state as he sat on the end of the sofa, pale as can be, and trying not to let his eyes close.
"You ok love?" Zayn asked softly.
"Yeah, I'm tired though." Harry rasped.
"And maybe a little warm?" Niall asked, as the boy was sweating a little.
Harry nodded.
"Would you like some water? Something to eat?" Liam asked.
Harry shook his head.
Everyone came to the conclusion that Harry just wanted to relax quietly for a while. So they got their phones out and talked about random stuff.
Ten minutes later Zayn looked over to Harry and his eyes were fully closed. His head was bobbing up and down every few seconds though. It looked uncomfortable. The poor sick boy should really be resting in a bed. The best Zayn could do at the moment would be to give Harry something to sleep on.
Zayn rubbed up and down Harry's arm a little bit until he heard Harry's breathing pick up slightly. Now that he was half awake, Zayn wrapped his arm around Harry's shoulders and pulled him down to lay his weary head on Zayn's lap.
"Is that better love?" Zayn whispered.
Harry nodded his head in Zayn's lap. What a perfect boy. Zayn ran his fingers through Harry's curls to sooth him back to sleep.
"It's not a proper bed but it will do." Zayn said after a few minutes.
"Yes, poor lad doesn't look good at all." Niall said.
"I can feel he's got a decent fever too." Zayn noted aloud.
"Probably why he's knackered." Liam pointed out.
"Yeah, let's just hope he can make it through the concert tonight."
A/N:
Hello, I should have finished a different one, but then I saw that picture and I knew I was destined to write about Larry.
Thanks for reading!!!
Q & A, If I were to finish/make another part, to any story I have published, which one would you like first?
Also I know that it's not a big deal but I found a way to add photos to stories again! So I've added photos to all the none photo stories.
