"So are you pregnant yet?"

"Uhmmm...? What?"

"Are you pregnant yet or not?"

Louis looked at Harry, blankly. Was he for real? "H-Harry?"

"Mm? Yea?"

"You're s-s-stup-pid."

Harry raised an eyebrow, as if to say, 'Excuse me.'

Lou rolled his eyes, sitting back in his chair. He grabbed a green olive from his plate, popping it in his mouth. "Y-You realize w-w-we o-only had s-sex last n-night?"

Harry shrugged, confused. "So?"

Lou looked up at the earth colored ceiling. "D-do you kn-know anyth-thing a-about pr-pr-pregnancy?"

Harry nodded, "You have sex and become pregnant. Nine months later, there's a baby."

Lou laughed, twirling another olive between his fingers, "You're d-d-dumb. I-I won't kn-know if I'm pr-pr-pregnant or n-not for a-a-awhile."

"You won't?" Lou smiled, hiding his mouth behind his fist, looking at Harry, and shook his head.

"A-and here I-I th-thought you w-were a-a-all-knowing." Lou teased, chuckling quietly. He gulped when Harry visibly tensed.

"At least I can talk without stuttering." Harry sneered, standing up and stalking away from the room.

Lou paled. What'd I do?

"D-Don't take it p-personally. He didn't know you were f-flirting with him." Lou looked up to see Niall, holding a plant pot.

"I-I wasn't f-flirting!"

Niall chuckled, as if to say, "Yea. Okay. Suuuurre."

Lou felt his face heat up. "W-whatever." Lou got up and followed Niall as he set the plant pot out in the courtyard. "What a-are you doing?"

"I h-have to plant flowers in these pots."

"But there's only o-one pot."

Niall shook his head. He went and pulled the pot apart. "I thought t-there was only one pot." The pot ended up being four separate pots, equal in size.

Niall sat down before groaning and getting back up. "I-I have to go get the dirt." He took a couple steps before turning around, "You c-can stay here if you'd like." Lou nodded.

He didn't have to wait for Niall long, he only took a few minutes before reentering, struggling to carry a bag. Lou hurried over, grabbing the end that was slipping, together, they carried it over to the pots.

"That w-was heavy." Niall nodded, to out of breath to verbally reply.

After catching their breath for a few minutes, Niall said, "There's o-one more bag."

Lou groaned, "W-where's a warrior when you need one?"

Niall perked up, excited, "Wait here!" He got up and jogged out of the courtyard, into the streets, going who knows where.

A while later, Niall came back, with a dark tanned man in tow. "This is Zayn!" Lou heard an accent in Niall's voice, but couldn't place it.

"Hello." Zayn had an accent too, his was more prominent than Niall's.

"H-H-Hi." Zayn smiled, politely not pointing out Louis' stutter, which Lou appreciated.

"C'mon! I'll show you what I need help with." Niall dragged Zayn away, clearly crushing on the tanner man.

They finished the planting a couple hours of later. Zayn had left after the first hour, needing to get things done.

"So who's Zayn?" Lou wiggled his eyebrows, making Niall giggle and blush.

"He's a warrior. Servant warrior." Lou had heard of servant warriors, but had never met one.

Servant warriors were warriors who had been captured during war, usually as a small infant or child. It was very rare though, because sometimes it backfired and someone would come looking for them. They were only taken if their people had been conquered or killed completely.

"Oh. I've never met one."

Niall smiled sadly, "You've meet a captured carrier though."

Lou furrowed his eyebrows, "I have?"

Niall nodded, "Yea, me."

"You're a captured carrier?"

"I'm Irish."

Louis had heard of them. They had been the ones to do the thing to his dad. That was why the Irish village had been burned completely.

"I didn't know."

Niall shook his head, laying down next to one of the planted pots, "Most people don't. I don't have much of an accent, considering I was only three when they took me."

"Will you be able to have children?"

Most captured servants weren't able to, in fear of rebellion from their children. It was usually up to the warrior of the house.

Niall shrugged, looking at Lou who was sitting crossed cross, "Its up to Harry. But I've never brought it up because Zayn's house's warrior already told him no. And I can't imagine having kids with anyone else."

"How long have you and Zayn known each other?" Lou's back was starting to hurt from how he was sitting, so he joined Niall on the ground, staring at the blue sky.

"Four years. I would have been eleven? Yea, eleven."

"I'm going to ask Harry to convince Zayn's house warrior to change his mind." Lou said firmly.

Niall sat up quickly, "No no no! You can't do that."

"Why not?"

"Because th-th-then he'll know." Neither one of them had realized that they'd stopped stuttering until Niall started to again.

"He'll know what?" Louis was confused. Did he mean Harry? Or Zayn?

"Z-Z-Zayn w-w-will know I-I-I like h-h-him."

Lou started to laugh, "Niall! You realize he likes you too, right? He literally sat here, for an hour, planting plants with us. What kind of warrior does that? Hell! Harry won't  even stay in the same room with me for an hour, unless we're sleeping."

Niall still looked nervous, bunching his clothes up in his fists. "A-a-are you s-s-sure?"

Lou nodded, "Positive."

"Ok." Niall still looked nervous, but was willing to let Louis give it a try, figuring Harry wouldn't go along with it.

Because since when did Harry do things for other people?
