Eleanor
"Hold on, one minute, just gimme one minute, eek," I squeal, jumping up off Louis lap and running, legs crossed to the toilet,
"Where are you...." Louis trails off as he watches me waddle off,
"I gotta pee," I cheep, finally going to the toilet and emptying me bladder, before washing my hands and returning to Louis, sitting on his lap, a sigh escaping my lips,
"Have you emptied your bladder satisfactorily?" Louis asks me, somehow keeping every hint of a smile off his straight face
I nod, attempting to keep my own face equally as straight,
"Most satisfactory bladder emptying of my time," I reply, as his eyes begin to crinkle,
"You're so weird," he laughs, shaking his head and bring my forehead to his lips
Half way through the movie, I look up at Louis, sitting up,
"Louis?" I ask, sitting on my knees and wrapping my arms around his neck,
"Yeah?" he asks, pausing the film and turning to me,
"Did I ever tell you how much of an amazing boyfriend you are?" I simper, kissing his cheek,
Amusement passes through his face as a smirk arises to his lips,
"Hmm," he mumbles, his amusement even clear in the hum
"And you're such a nice person and I really admire that an-,"
"Ellie?" Louis cuts me off, laughing
"Yes my amazing, handsome charitable boyfriend?"
"What do you want?"
"Will you make me some macaroni and cheese?" I ask him, jutting out my lip and widening my eyes
"Mac and cheese?" Louis questions, raising his eyebrows
I nod, "With like extra rich creamy sauce up in there and like cheese, a hella amount of cheese all up in this big ass macaroni," I indicate the size of the macaroni with my hands
"Nope," Louis grins, teasing me
"Please Louis?" I beg, dragging out his name
He shakes his head, a smirk dancing on his face once more
"Loooouuuiiiissss," I whine, hanging off his neck and frowning,
"No can do, sorry babe,"
"Louis," I pout
"Nope," he replies, popping the 'p'
I kiss his lips gently. He tries to deepen it but I pull away,
"Please Louis?" I plead, throwing my self onto his lap, placing a hand on my head, palm facing him and sighing dramatically,
"I can feel my breaths slowing down....the one cure...." I pretend to choke, "Mac and cheese," I wheeze
Louis laughs, "Fine,"
I get up and lean in, our lips connecting like a plug to an output as electricity sparks between us. I pull away and grin at him, "You are the best!" I grin as he gets up
I stand up and go to follow him but end up falling flat on my face.
"Ellie, are you okay?" Louis asks, falling to my side
I nod, "Yeah," I laugh it off, smiling, "Dead leg,"
"El are you sure? The doctor said that-"
"I'm fine Louis," I insist, taking his hand and standing up, trailing my dead right leg behind
Louis frowns but says nothing, slinking a hand around my waist and helping me to the kitchen where I sit up on a stool, watching Louis as he makes the macaroni and cheese
A smile curls on my lips as he stares intently at the sauce, stirring it. I lower myself off the stool and drag my legs up to Louis, wrapping my hands around his waist,
"You have a very serious macaroni making face," I comment, mimicking his face as he turns to me, grinning.
I place a teeny kiss on his neck, resting my lips there as I hug him gently
He finishes the sauce and pours it into the pasta, serving it up and putting the dishes into the dishwasher
"Bonn appetite," he comments, handing me a plate of mac and cheese. I grin, taking the plate and dragging my leg into the sitting room where I plop down and take a big bite of my cheesy goodness,
"Delicious," I say through the pasta, but due to the amount of food in my mouth it sounded more like 'defushus'
Louis shakes his head sitting down beside me and putting an arm around me
I feel my right side tingle, but choose to ignore it.

"Can you pass the remote?" Louis asks me an hour later as we sit on the couch. I nod and reach out my right hand for the remote. Or try to anyways, because when I try and raise my arm nothing happens. I try again, desperately
"Louis" I screech
Louis head snaps to my direction in alarm, "What, what's wrong?"
"I can't I can't," I try and speak but start panicking, tears flooding my face as I try desperately to breathe at an even rate
"Eleanor, calm down baby, deep breathes your okay tell me whats wrong," Louis tries to soothe me, rubbing gentle circles in my back, pulling me into him
"My-my hand it-it won't no Louis," I shriek, my panic increasing even more
"El, El, look at me Ellie, you have to stay calm deep breathes,"
I try and follow his instructions as the tears continue to take over my face
"It won't move," I sob into his chest, clinging onto him desperately with my left hand
"What won't move baby?" Louis asks, wrapping his arms around me and stroking my hair, gently kissing my forehead
"M-m-my hand it won't...Ii can't,"
Louis nods, showing me he understands
"The doctor said this would happen, I'm so sorry babe,"
A sob cackles out of my lips as I soak his hoodie, burying my head into him, appreciating his musky, sweet scent
"It's possible it's only temporary though El," Louis tries to cheer me up
Another sob racks my body as I pull away from his chest, wiping at my eyes,
"But what if it's not?"
"Well if it's not," Louis ponders, "We'll figure a way to deal with it together,"
I smile through my tears, cupping his face in my hand and kissing him gently,
"I am so incredibly lucky," I whisper, our lips gently brushing against each other
"No, I am. you are so much more than I ever could have imagined, you are so beautiful and kind and smart and funny. You just see good in everything and everyone and your so empathetic and I know we've had our ups and downs and we weren't exactly close but I am so glad I kissed you, because if I didn't you wouldn't be sitting right here with me and you know maybe we weren't meant to be together, maybe we aren't supposed to grow up and have kids and get married, and who knows, maybe this is the last thing I'll ever say to you and then you could be out of my life forever; but I do know kissing you wasn't some big mistake. I know that the fact your head fits perfectly between my shoulder and chin like a missing piece to puzzle is no crazy coincidence. I know that the butterflies I get when we're driving somewhere and you lean just a little bit closer than normal to reach something on my side isn't because I'm excited about learning calculus. I know that the goosebumps I get when you say my name or laugh that amazing laugh of yours isn't because the slight breeze outside. And maybe I don't know much, maybe this won't last, maybe it's not as good as I think it is, but I am certain of one thing and one thing only and that is that I am fully and hopelessly in love with you Eleanor Jane Calder,"
Tears streak my vision as I smile, looking deep into Louis icy blue orbs,
"Louis William Tomlinson I love you so much you soppy idiot,"
