"We would have to take both of them out of their headspaces to talk about this." Liam said as he watched the football match with Harry.
"Yeah." Harry nodded and glanced at the wall clock. "How about we wake them up now and bring them out of their headspaces." He suggested.
In no time both of them are upstairs and waking up the littles from their naps. Harry placed a soft kiss on Louis' cheek and rubbed soothing circles on his back. He noticed Louis' thumb is in his mouth now since his binky has fallen off during the nap. He slowly took the thumb out of the boy's mouth before whispering.
"Wake up sunshine." Harry kissed Louis' cheek once again and it had Louis stirring in his sleep. Harry kept on cooing and calling his name to get him up. At some point Louis sat up on the bed and reached out for Harry while whining.
"Hello, sleepyhead." Harry cooed as he picked the smaller boy up. He patted his bum to check if he's wet and sure enough, he was.
"Dada." Louis pouted making Harry pout back at him.
"Let's get my angel changed, yeah?" Harry cooed as he walked to the changing table with an extra bounce to his steps.
He laid the smaller boy down on the changing table and Louis let out a screech of cries making Harry jump.
"Sh... it's only a minute. Daddy will be very, very quick. Then we can cuddle." Harry rubbed soothing circles on Louis' tummy as he untapped his nappy. He quickly put on another nappy and Louis kept on crying whole the time. He picked the smaller boy up and bounced around the room to calm him down.
"What's wrong princess?" Harry kissed his forehead. Louis just placed his head on Harry's shoulder and kept on crying. Harry not knowing what's going wrong started panicking.
"What's wrong my angel?" He bounced the boy in his arms. He sat on the rocking chair and laid Louis on him.
"Sh... everything is okay. Daddy is here." Harry patted the little one's back as he rocked on the chair. Soon enough Liam came into the room with Zayn on his hip.
"What's wrong?" He asked, which to Harry shrugged.
"He must be very sleepy. He tends to cry at the smallest things when he's very little. He's probably at the headspace around 1 year now." Liam explained making Harry let out a sigh. He was really lost without an explanation.
"Oh, okay." Harry kept on rocking on the chair and Louis' cries started dying down a little since he was tiring himself out.
"It doesn't seem like we will be able to get him outta headspace." Harry announced as he watched Liam change Zayn.
"Yeah. We'll just get this one out." Liam tickled Zayn's bare tummy making him giggle.
Louis' cries soon died down just leaving some hiccups. Harry kept on humming a little tune under his breath and Louis latched his lips to Harry's nipple making Harry sigh.
"He's doing it again." Harry rubbed at his temple in a stressful manner.
"Doing wh- oh." Liam turned around and saw what Louis is doing.
"I don't know what to do if he started crying again." Harry sighed and it's obvious he's so stressed out.
"I'll take him if he started crying again. I'll go and bring a bottle for him." Liam walked out of the room with Zayn and Zayn sent Harry a tiny wave over Liam's shoulder making the elder one smile and wave back.
Louis let out a whine and Harry braced himself for his little one's cries once again. Sure enough it came but ten times louder than before. Harry let out a sigh and started rocking the chair again.
"Sh... it's alright, my princess." Harry cooed as he patted Louis' bum in a soothing manner.
Liam soon came with a baby bottle filled with water and Harry brought it to Louis' mouth. The boy immediately started sucking on the false nipple. Harry let out a sigh of relief as he ran his fingers through Louis' feathery hair.

"Zaynie?"
"Yeah, Harry?" Zayn replied confirming that he's out of headspace.
"Liam took you out?" Harry sat next to Zayn on the chair with Louis in his arms, now quietly sleeping on his shoulder.
"Yep." Zayn nodded and stuffed his face with popcorn Liam made for him.
"So, I bought a house down the street for us." Harry started.
"Listen Haz, it was just a slip up. I didn't want to slip into my headspace. It's just- it's just Liam's smell felt so homey-"
Harry couldn't keep in the grin. "I knew it!" He almost cried out and it made the little boy in his arms stir a bit in his sleep with a whine making Harry's eyes widen. "Sh..." He cooed.
"What? No- it's not like that." Zayn was quick to reason.
"Sure..." Harry smirked.
"Well, maybe I like him a little bit but it's just a teeny tiny bit, nothing serious." Zayn crossed his arms over his chest to act mad but the faint blush over his cheeks betrayed him.
"Okay, if you say so. Anyways, what do you say about moving?" Harry came back to the subject.
"I'm still moving to London. I haven't changed my mind, Harry." Zayn stated, even though it was easy for Harry to see past his little attitude.
"Well, Zayn, don't you feel like you are going a little too past this? I know you are a smart one and don't let something that's bothering you make you blind on what's right or wrong. Talk with me. What's wrong?" Harry asked sincerely but Zayn just kept looking away from Harry.
"Zaynie?" Harry tried again.
"I don't know." Zayn mumbled.
"Of course, you know." Harry rolled his eyes because he knew his best friend.
"I think Louis would think something wrong about you if we moved in together, Haz." Zayn finally said.
"Oh. Is that it?" Harry asked now seeing the problem. It's just two lads sharing a flat, nothing more. But the problem is, would Louis think the same?
"Yeah." Zayn nodded.
"That's a quiet bit of a problem." Harry agreed. "We'll have to talk with Louis about this. Actually, we were to take you both out of your headspaces to discuss this but Louis went in deeper." Harry sighed looking at his little.
Louis smiled even though his eyes were closed making Harry's eyebrow furrow thinking Louis heard him and he's no more in his headspace but the boy made incomprehensible sounds and buried his head deeper into Harry's chest confirming he's just dreaming. Harry smiled at his baby and placed a feathery kiss on his forehead.
"He's so precious." Harry mumbled still staring at the caramel haired boy.
"You sound like you are in love with him." Zayn stated.
"Isn't that too early to fall in love? It's what- just three months." Harry sighed.
"I think what matters for love is understanding each other and accepting them. The time doesn't matter. If you understand them and decide that you like everything about them, even their flaws, that's what you call love. When you meet the true form of a person, you have two choices. It's to leave or stay. If you chose to stay, you love them." Zayn shrugged.
"Do you think so?" Harry ran his fingers through Louis' caramel locks.
"Yep." Zayn nodded.
"Well then, I'm in love with him because from everything I have heard and seen of him, I chose to stay, forever and ever."
