Summary: harry is a bratty prince, louis is a guard who works in his palace, and niall is the only who’s got his life in control.

as someone once said: this is not a love story, but love is in it. that is, love is just outside it, looking for a way to break in.

if i’m not all you need, then set me free

“Just like I remember you compelling me yesterday, I also haven’t forgotten when you compelled me to forget my pain.” His words sweep over Harry like a winter chill. “I need you to, please, stop hopping back on forth on this imaginary line you’ve drawn in the sand. You can be perfectly honest with me — and everyone else, if you so wish — that the only thing you care about is finding your sister. Don’t waste any efforts trying to play hot and cold.” 

   This is not... Harry has to blink several times to make sure he hasn’t misheard Louis. This is not the way any guard addresses a member of the royal family, let alone the crown prince. Harry doesn’t know if this is the result of Louis’ confinement in this room, or if he has always been this insolent. That can’t be it, because surely Niall wouldn’t allow a member of his guard to be so out of line. 

   “I’m not trying to play anything,” Harry says finally when he finds his voice again. I understand I may not be your favorite person in the world, but that does not mean that I am trying to play games with you, or anyone else. My intentions have always been clear.”

   “Just because I care most about finding my sister,” Harry continues, “ it doesn’t mean that I don’t have any compassion for others. I took away your pain because you didn’t deserve to feel it, not because of some ulterior motive.” 

    “With all due respect, Your Highness,” Louis scoffs, and his tone leaves no question about how much respect he thinks is due, “I feel compelled to argue that it is not up to you to determine who does and does not deserve to feel pain. And it certainly isn’t up to you to determine whose pain who can simply take away , like you’re a god.”
