266 Harrys POV

At last, Dougie slept through the night, staying asleep the whole night, and if he did have a nightmare, he didn't wake up and just went onto another dream instead. I was relieved when I realised in the morning, smiling at Dougie, he was still sleeping, and he looked adorable. I had missed the childlike, calm, relaxed face he had whenever he was asleep. I don't think I could even wake him up today, I just wanted him to have a long calm sleep like he deserved. It had been so long since I had seen him like this, how could I wake him up from this moment, make him face the day?

I left him for another 20 minutes, then had to get him up, so we could actually go out. "Doug, baby, wake up!" I shook him gently, stroking his long fringe away from his face. "no, go away." Dougie grumbled, turning onto his stomach. "no, Dougie, you have to get up, come on!" I encouraged, only getting a groan in return. "come on, wake up or I'll bring in Adam." I warned, Adam was one of Dougies pet snakes, and it was huge. "go on then, see if I care." Dougie shrugged, hugging his lizard toy, again looking adorable. "alright, I'm getting Adam." I got up and wandered downstairs, carefully opening up Adam and Eves tank, picking up one of them, I still couldn't tell the difference between the snakes. Then I placed the lid on the tank so the other didn't escape, carrying whichever snake up to the bedroom, placing it on our bed.

The snake slithered up next Dougies tired body on top of the covers, making my husband smile. "hey Eve, come for a cuddle too?" Dougie giggled cutely, letting the snake wrap around his tattooed arm, "that plan sucked Harry, sorry." Dougie stuck his tongue out at me, thankfully sitting up. "d*mn it, well come on, its time to get up either way." I held out my hand for him, Dougie sighed and crawled out of bed, grabbing my hand, using his other hand to make sure he didn't drop Eve. Dougie refused to put Eve away until after we had eaten breakfast too, I knew he had missed his reptiles a lot, so I let him keep the snake wound around his arm and shoulders as we ate breakfast.

Finally, we managed to get washed and dressed, and round Toms house somehow before 12 in the afternoon. "hi guys!" Danny grinned as we opened the door, his hands gently holding onto Toms hands. "morning, you're in a happy mood." I commented, noticing how wide Dannys megawatt grin was at the moment, it was the biggest I had seen in years! "of course I am! Its the day after my birthday! Why shouldn't I be happy?" Danny grinned, kissing Toms cheek, making him give a small embarrassed smile.

"you shouldn't be! You kept me awake half the night!" Carrie butted in, hopping on one foot as she pulled on a pair of boots. "no we didn't! Don't lie!" Danny laughed, he was so happy he was practically bouncing on the spot. "yes you did! You didn't come home until 3am! And came in giggling like idiots!" Carrie argued, still quite playfully, but I could tell that she was pretty tired. "were we? Sorry Carrie, we were just really, really happy." Danny apologised, leaning his head on Toms shoulder, pulling him close. Tom barely held in a cringe, a small, tiny, noise of protest coming from the back of his throat, but nothing more. I had a feeling that yesterdays progress wasn't going to last long at this rate, he was already slipping back, the close contact becoming too close for comfort again.

"yeah, I heard and saw you two making out on the field out back last night! Oh, I gotta go, I'm meeting some friends in half an hour! Bye guys!" Carrie finished shoving her feet into her boots and running out of the door. "you two ended up kissing last night?!" Dougie practically shouted as the door closed. "yeah, we did, best thing ever!" Danny giggled, bringing Toms face round for a kiss.

267 Dougies POV

I was so tempted to start making throwing up and similar sounds to Tom and Dannys kissing, but I decided against it, knowing that it wasn't exactly a nice thing, considering that they hadn't kissed like this in months, and Tom had eating problems. Making throwing up sounds was probably not the best of ideas. Finally, the couple broke apart, both of them smiling, Danny more than Tom, but there was still a hint of the dimple, which was what mattered the most. I thought that maybe if this carried on, Tom wouldn't need his medication, because he was feeling better without it.

Me and Harry left them to it after a while, it looked like they weren't going to be parted for a while. "what are we actually doing today?" I asked, not sure what we were supposed to be doing. "we're having a meeting with Fletch later on, and then Tom and Danny are going out to the West End to see a show, for their first monthly celebration." Harry explained, grabbing food from Toms cupboards, setting some rice in the microwave, "and it looks like we're going out and getting Tom some more food in too, he's running out again." Harry continued, showing me the mostly empty cupboards.

"only cause you two keep on eating it all!" Danny quipped, stumbling into the kitchen, red in the face. "well who will eat it all while you're eating each other?" Harry teased, laughing as Tom and Danny blushed, Tom moving to hide a little behind Danny. "shut it! We don't eat each other, we kiss, there's a difference." was Dannys come back, his hands slipping behind him to Toms middle, awkwardly holding him. "yeah, whatever. How long until our meeting with Fletch about...what is it about?" I laughed, grabbing the spoon full of rice off Harry and eating it instead, receiving a hard slap to the back of my head.

"it starts in about an hour, we're being picked up at about half past." Harry explained, I think he was the only one who actually paid attention to Fletch at any point. "why do we have a meeting with him anyway?" Tom finally spoke up, from behind Danny, almost hiding behind the slightly smaller guy. "we're having a discussion about, er, I don't actually know. I don't think Tommy told us. He's just randomly called a meeting." Harry shrugged, continuing to eat his rice after handing me a spoon of my own so I could eat some too.

"I hope it doesn't take long, or we'll be late to We Will Rock You. That would seriously suck." Danny bit his lip a bit, leaning his head on Toms shoulder, managing to highlight how skinny the taller blonde was as he rubbed his face on the bony shoulder. "its set for 3 hours before the show, 20 minutes away from it, I'm sure you'll get there on time, if not a bit early. Don't worry about it." Harry reassured him, holding his strong arms around my shoulders, letting me play with his fingers. "we've never really run late before, and anyway, its probably about the tour and what we're going to do next. It'll be over soon enough." I smiled too, twisting the wedding ring on Harrys finger round and round, trying to find the shiniest bit, as the door bell rang, signalling Tommys arrival.
