Harry walked around the store, hands stuffed in his pockets as his mothers trailed behind him. They were doing not only Christmas shopping, but Harry wanted to get Liam and Louis something for their birthday.

Since he was a crossdresser, his mothers continually asked if Louis liked skirts or other types of makeup. Harry's eyes widened when something came to his mind. He looked around and jogged over to the electronics departmemt, searching through movies and CD's. Louis liked bands like Fleetwood Mac, Aerosmith, and artists like Sam Smith, Ed Sheeran and Michael Jackson.

Harry searched through everything in concentration and grabbed the Xscape album, the new Michael Jackson album that came out last year and the Best Hits of Fleetwood Mac. On top of something else Louis mentioned, Harry put those two CD's and a few movies in the cart.

"It's so cute how he treats him," Jessica murmured as she looked up at her wife. "They're so cute together."

Britt nodded, rubbing her side. "Haz, how long have you and Louis--"

"Two months on his birthday!" Harry called from the corner of the section, a dopey grin on his face. Jessica cooed, giggling and the two women made their way to their son.

They were at the mall, so they had a variety of things to look at. They already got Liam's gift, now it's Louis' turn. Luckily, since it's Christmas time, they had push carts to use.

Harry bought the items from the movie store and they moved along to the next thing on the list.

The twins invited Harry over to help them set up the Christmas tree, which was as tall as Harry. Maybe a little shorter, but it was tall.

Liam watched his brother wrap the lights around the tree, giggling like a little kid. He seemed...different, lately. A good different. He and Harry were getting back in touch and Louis' been all smiles around him. Harry, on the other hand, was happy they were reconnected (for whatever reason he felt as if their relationship was drifting) -- but he was still worried about his boyfriend. What if Calum fucked everything up again? Does he really have to beat up someone who looks like a sunburnt kangaroo?

His words exactly. He even told Louis he'd do it -- the insult had the boy laughing uncontrollably.

Smiling softly, Liam pulled out his phone and tooka picture that had Louis sitting on Harry's shoulders, putting the star on top of the tree.

He slightly envied their relationship, but then he didn't. As long as his baby bro (as he says it) is happy, he's happy.

The only thing that ruined his mood was when he got that one text from Sophia.

Harry felt Louis curl up against him and laid his head on his shoulder, closing his eyes.

"'M so sleepy," Louis sighed. "Can we take a nap or somethin'?"

Harry nodded. "I'm getting a little tired, too. Any movie you wanna watch?"

"Nothing in particular," Louis shrugged, yawning. Harry got out of his bed, walking over and put a random movie (Happy Feet -- don't ask) in and laid on his back when he got back in bed. Louis snuggled against his side, laying his head on his chest and closed his eyes.

Harry covered Louis' eyes as he led him down the stairs, biting his lip. It was his birthday, Christmas Eve, and Louis was woken up to breakfast in bed by his lovely boyfriend and was also given plenty of kisses. No only was a "happy birthday" mentioned, but also a "happy two-month anniversary".

It was cute, seeing Harry play with his hair while they cuddled until eleven in the morning watching re-runs of Supernatural on Netflix. The birthday boy had Harry hooked on it.

Harry was nervous. What if Louis fainted? Hopefully he liked it.

Of course he will, idiot! His thoughts scolded him. He hasn't seen him in what...two, three years?

"Harry, don't tell me you're gonna knock me out and hide my body," Louis chuckled.

"Why would he do that? I'm pretty sure he likes you too much," he heard a familiar voice and he gasped. He yanked Harry's hands off of his face, eyes widening and turned to glance at his boyfriend.

"You didn't."

"I did," Harry smirked. Louis turned around -- squeaking rather loudly -- rushing over to his father and attacked the man, wrapping his arms around him tightly.

"What's all the noise for -- Papa!" Liam jumped over the stairs, sliding over to the two and hugged the man. Harry leaned against the wall, grinning and watched Colton kiss the top of their heads.

"You're really here," Louis whispered, reaching up and patted his cheek. "Yup, you're...really here..."

Harry chuckled grinning. "Liam and I were talking to him on Skype and then your dad and I talked -- one on one. Didn't you say you were doing something else, too?"

Colton smirked, whispering, "I'm home for good."

Louis gasped, whispering an, "Oh my God," and sprinted back over to Harry, hitting his face on his chest and hugged him. "Thank you, thank you--"

Harry chuckled, laying his chin on top of Louis' head: enveloping his arms around the boy. His heart fluttered, something new. He felt good for once.

For once, he felt like a good boyfriend.
