Harry locks eyes with Liam. Zayn goes so pale he looks sick. Niall sits straight in the armchair. The naked fear on Zayn’s face has Harry’s heart thudding before the missing piece locks into place as he looks at Niall’s bag again. Despite the heat of the room, a chill drips down Harry’s spine, like he’s lost the last link to a waking dream.
Louis’s things are gone.

There's been a lot of excitement for this fic and I just want to fulfill it all right now! But I write every day, so this is a fun way to share the excitement! I'll be posting a wee something at the same time every day to officially mark the end of my writing day. Whatever I post will be something that was either written or edited that day! I hope you enjoy!

I’m so tempted to do a series of ficbytes, where Thomas rushes to Miranda and makes sure he looks his best when James is due to appear. “Do you think he would notice if I took my wig off? You always say I look better without them. And I was considering removing my coat. Do you think it would scandalise him too much?”
Meanwhile, Miranda offers a bet over which of them will shag James first and Thomas pouts tremendously when he sees her heading out in her sexy boob dress of seduction and knows he’s about to lose the bet.

Louis’s smirk feels like a spark bursting into flame. For a moment Harry can’t breathe. It’s dangerously beautiful.
He’s dangerously fucked.

“Son of a wanking cocktwat fucked arse bastard. Fucking ow.”
“If you’d just listen to me for once I wouldn’t have had to fucking do that.” Zayn’s words are choked, matching the hoarse intensity of Louis’s. “The fuck were you thinking?”

“So, just so I’m clear in me fucking noggin,” Niall finally says into the silence, “an international worldwide takeover is well under fucking way and the only thing standing between hot showers and a second end of the bloody world is us five fuckers?”

Louis snorts, which loosens his body enough for him to turn away from Zayn. He flicks ash from his smoke, muttering a retort to himself once his back is turned.
“That’s not where me tongue was.”

It’s Louis’ safe-word for his life, no bedroom kinks required, when the whirlpool has swelled into a maelstrom. Louis reserves the word for when he needs to curse but also is well on his way to losing his grip. When he needs the insane ridiculousness of the term to verbally strike a blunt blow to remind his lungs to keep working. The word is a desperate reach for a life preserver, the only way he knows how to openly admit out loud that he’s drowning.

“I’m afraid of pigeons,” Niall says.
Louis’s mind implodes. He blinks, tries, and completely fails to find a single thread of logic that leads through the quagmire of the minotaur’s maze to how that matters right now.

The blinding sunset catches the angles of Louis’s face just before he leans in to touch his forehead to Harry’s, free hand curving over Harry’s jaw. “Then it sounds to me like you’ve got two options. Trust, or move so I’ve got room to follow you up.” He grins, planting the lightest of teasing kisses to Harry’s bottom lip.
“I recommend both.”

“Haz? C’mon, mate. Wake up.”
Louis and the world dissolve into the dark of the back of his eyelids at Niall’s anxious order. Breath hitching, Harry struggles to push them open. Dust and grit must’ve glued them shut.
“That’s it. Christ. Fuck. C’mon, Haz. Open your fucking eyes.”

Harry hates the physicality of it, of trying to reconcile how this bloody mass in his chest, no larger than his hand, can keep his whole body alive even as it bends and breaks and disintegrates.

Louis likes to think Zayn’s mum had a twin scare when Zayn popped out too. This fat little baby boy, as far from the chiseled statue of an arse he is now, covered in mum-slime and but wait, Trisha, no one is alone.
Fucking ominous birth there.

Louis’s given plenty of thought to what he'd want his soulmate’s soulmark to be and all he can come up with is censored, because no doubt he’ll be spouting a string of profanities at them for being an arsehole.
But that’s still better than the shit Zayn’s got god-inked on him.

Niall laughs, throwing a nod at Louis with his bottle.“Well how were we supposed to know you’re any fun when all you do is stand in the corner glaring like a fucking sleep-paralysis demon, Slippy?”

“...You nicked a box of crayons for me?”
CrackerfuckChrist. No wonder Harry’s losing his mind. How the hell does he keep up with Niall?
Niall grins. “Zayn said your art skills are the equivalent of a toddler scribbling all over the wall in non-erasable crayon. So I found you a box when we stopped in Hobbycraft to get another sketchbook for him.”

And maybe he did end up solving a problem in his dreams. Not his own, but when Harry wakes him right on time the next morning it's with a soft thank you murmured against his temple. There’s gentle sunlight streaming into his eyes, warmth permeating his body, and affection wrapped loosely around him. For a fleeting instant in that half-moment before waking, he forgets that the world has ended.
