Summary
Despite what the others might have assumed, his avoidance wasn’t an issue of pride. Well, perhaps pride played a small role in the matter, but it wasn’t the primary fuel behind Louis’ stubbornness. He struggled to give in when he was feeling unwell because it meant he was losing control.
Louis didn’t like when things were out of his control.

Summary
“Here.” Louis fished around in the jacket he slung over the back of his chair to offer a pack of tissues. “Cold’s got you all sniffly.”
“My what?”
Harry was taken aback; he’d still been doing rather well, had he not? He had to admit he wasn’t flawlessly hiding his cold voice—he didn’t have much practice navigating consonants and avoiding congestion-revealing words in Italian—but it couldn’t have been too bad. Was that why Louis had been watching him so closely?
“The weather, love? Not exactly a scorcher, is it?”
“Oh, yeah. Right. Thanks, Lou.”

Summary
“We can still go."
With a fond smile and a quiet hey, Harry got his husband’s attention and beckoned him over, ignoring halfhearted complaints when he lifted Louis to sit on the kitchen counter. Harry cupped Louis’ cheeks, tilting his head down to reach his forehead for a kiss. His hot-but-probably-not-alarmingly-hot forehead, Harry thought. Based on the faint rosiness of Louis’ formerly wan cheeks Harry was sure it had risen some, though the lingering of his lips wasn’t enough to tell by how much.
“Not tonight, my love. I’m far too busy - I’ve got a poorly husband to tend to."

Summary
“Are you gonna be alright?”
That was a question Louis wasn’t sure how to answer. Would he be alright? Probably, but was he at the moment? Absolutely fucking not. His throat was already burning, body aching, nose running, skin tingling...and he'd only just fallen ill. Swallowing hard, Louis sniffled and averted his gaze as he decided to be honest.

Summary
Harry had Louis positively swooning. That whole interview, Louis truly struggled to keep himself in check while his angel of a husband sat perched delicately on the arm of the sofa. Even while terribly ill, he was so irresistibly perfect. The way his dimples lit up his cheeks, how his eyes sparkled with a subtle fever-brightness, there was something so addictive about the pure sweetness that his medicine-doped self radiated. Voiceless as he was, everything about him was still so charming and endearing and fucking intoxicating that Louis was torn between maintaining professionalism and kissing the fuck out of his lips right then and there. If it wasn’t for the risk of catching the flu, which he felt was inevitable at this point anyway, he might have lost control of himself.

Summary
“You’d think about it? You wouldn’t just say ‘oh yeah, H, you can absolutely go fly to your husband to support and care for and love him while he’s in debilitating pain and getting major surgery because you’re married and that’s what husbands do for each other’? You’d have to think about it, Jeff?”
“There are a lot of moving parts, H, and-”
“I don’t care how many parts are moving, just make them stop."
louis breaks his arm for the fourth time in his life, and the husbands are absolutely fed up with following the rules.

Summary
“Baby, no. I’m sorry, I just… I don’t want you catching this off me,” Harry insisted, and Louis removed the hand to lace their fingers together.
“And I don’t want your lips goin’ without kisses.” He gave his best puppy dog eyes, but Harry was still unconvinced. “S’me birthday, I get what I want.”
“You want a cold?”
“I mean, not particularly. But s’fine if it’s yours, darling,” he crooned, kissing all over Harry’s wary face again, “me sweet, sniffly baby boy. Besides, you jus’ been sharin’ me fork the last ten minutes anyway.”

Summary
"But what if you left?” Harry pleaded just before Louis stepped through the doorway, looking for any way to keep him in the room. To keep him at his side. To keep him.
“I won’t leave, baby. I’ll only be walls away.”
“But what if you weren’t?”
“I’m tellin’ you right now I won’t leave you. S’a promise.”
“But…what if-“

Summary
The first curls of smoke floated in the air beside him as his husband pulled in a deep breath, and he sighed at the familiarity of the scent. When he saw the lit cigarette appear in front of him, held between two capable fingers, he took a drag himself. Less deep, but just as satisfying. He held it loosely between his lips as Louis’ hand rested atop his own where they were clasped over his stomach. It was protective, possessive, a gesture that reminded him who he belonged to.

Summary
All night long, Harry was doted upon endlessly. Anything he wanted, he got. Before Harry could even realise that his water was empty, Louis had already come back with another. His wide, innocent eyes were more than enough to convince Louis to feed him from their shared fork. The resting of his chin on Louis’ shoulder immediately got him a kiss on the cheek, so needless to say he would frequently lift it up and readjust so that he could get more of that attention. Any time he wanted a hug, he got one. If he wanted to cuddle, he’d be cuddled. If he wrapped his arms around Louis from behind, the man would rest his hands over Harry’s, rubbing his thumb on the warm, soft skin.
Simply put, Harry was Louis’ baby.

Summary
“Was that real?”
“Was what real?” Green eyes were still wide and glistening, but the way his brows knit together showed that he was beginning to process the real world around him. “You were dreamin’, darling. Havin’ a nightmare.”
“N-No. No, ‘cos you said.”
“What’d I say?” Louis' question was as gentle as the hand that rested over one of the birds on his husband's chest.
"You’re — you said,” his breath hitched as his eyes filled with more tears. “And I didn’t know.”
“Tell me what happened."

Summary
There was very little communication between the two for the rest of the day—Harry slept on and off for hours, only waking to adjust his blankets when he got too hot or too cold. That was when he began to really miss Louis. He didn’t realise how attentive his husband was to him until he wasn’t there. Louis would watch over him as he napped, tugging blankets down when he began to sweat and covering him up if he shivered so that he wouldn’t wake from discomfort. Harry would cry if he had the will to stay awake long enough, but his body was desperate for a reprieve from the pain and displeasure of being so unwell.

Summary
“Harry, whose songs get played on radio? Who’s done multiple world tours? Who’s won a Grammy? Coachella, stadiums, Madison Square Garden — that’s you, not me.”
“That means nothing. It doesn’t make me better than you.”
“What does it make you, then?”
“Just… different.” Louis let out a sharp breath through his nose at the non-answer. “I’m-I’m sorry. I’m so sorry.”

Summary
“What the hell’d you do that for?” Louis hissed at him, venom in his stare.
“It was only a joke,” Liam, completely bewildered, defended himself, and his brow furrowed. “That not allowed anymore?”
“No, it’s—" he huffed in frustration and rolled his eyes. “Leave him be, alright? He looks beautiful, so I want you t’shut your mouth 'bout it.”
“But it’s not like I—"
He was cut off immediately—Louis’ voice raised well over his but hopefully not loud enough to float back through the closed door that split Harry from the rest of the boys.
“I don’t wanna hear it, mate. Let him like what he likes, s’none of your fuckin’ business.”

liam makes a joke about harry's appearance that hits a little too hard, and louis proves that he will love harry until the end of time and more.

Summary
Harry would be okay.
He constantly coughed into the towel that he left side-stage to stop his germs from spreading to any of the people below, though he supposed the bragging rights of 'I caught tonsillitis from Harry Styles' would be a badge of honour for some of the more… dedicated fans. It also helped to hide his pained grimace as he practically tore his throat in half. It was a horrible ache to match the one in his lungs and his head and his back and his feet and his everything.
But Harry would be okay.

“I don’t think you got the full dose yet,” Harry purred, his hand sliding further up his thigh while the other slipped down his back, fiddling with the waistband of his pyjamas.
“You’re so weird, love. Truly.” Louis sniffled deeply and wiped his nose on his already ruined sleeve.
“If it’s weird to want to kiss your husband then sure, yeah. I’m the weirdest person in the world.”
“It’s weird to wanna kiss your husband when he’s gonna give you a billion germs,” Louis pointed out, and Harry only shrugged.
“But they’re his billion germs, so I've married them too.”

“Jesus, Louis.”

Summary
There was a small ridge at the bottom of the doorframe that seemed to have gone unnoticed by the lanky kid, as he didn’t lift his foot enough to avoid contact with the metal. He tripped, nearly falling flat on his face, but he was saved within half a second. It was as if the other boy could see the future, a hand already prepared for him to clutch as he stumbled.
“Every time, love,” he teased, and the clumsy boy blushed, mumbling something with a shy smile. A little poke to his cheek was the only response before the shorter one placed a hand on curly’s back, leading him through the door from a few paces ahead.
