He wasn't on his own side of the bed when he woke up. He was jolted from his sleep by an embarrassed voice murmuring his name insistently and when Harry opened his eyes, he realized he was lying almost completely on top of Louis, who was staring up at him with red cheeks and an awkward smile.

"Glad to see you're awake," Louis said quietly.

"Shit," Harry said in response, pulling away before he could really savour the feeling of Louis' body against his own and sitting up in bed. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that."

"It's fine, Haz," Louis said, sitting up as well and rubbing his eyes, reaching for his glasses. "You do it all the time. Did. Whatever. You always end up on top of me when we sleep together, I should have expected it."

A moment later Annie started wailing and Louis got up to grab her and take her into the kitchen for breakfast. Harry collapsed back against the bed and stared up at the white ceiling, willing his morning wood to go down. When it wouldn't, he shuffled into the bathroom and took a quick shower, wrapping a hand around himself and trying his best not to think about Louis as he pulled himself in long, smooth strokes. He didn't do very well.

When he reappeared in the kitchen with damp hair and an easier smile, more relaxed now that he'd gotten off, Louis greeted him with a side hug that was mostly for Luke's benefit as the boy was sitting at the table staring at them. Harry leaned down to kiss Luke's forehead as he went by and it hit him how amazing this life was. If he had to be thrown into a future unexpectedly, he was glad it was this one.

"Hey," Harry said, tugging on Louis' arm to get him to stop where he'd been rushing to get Annie's bottle. "Happy birthday."

Louis paused and gave him a smile. His hair was a mess and he was still in sweats and a rumpled t-shirt and he was wearing his glasses, but he was still absolutely stunning. Harry was amazed at his past self's ability to land someone so attractive.

"Thanks, Haz," he said softly, leaning up to press a short kiss to Harry's cheek before moving to grab Annie's bottle.

Harry flushed at the contact and couldn't stop smiling, even when he went to go wake Lily and Edward up.
