Like most sorrows, one day he’ll wake up finding himself able to breathe again.

Once they’re done with breakfast, they sit a while longer, refilling their cuppa and enjoying a tea while holding hands in plain view of the other customers.

“Who knew post-coital Harry would be such a brat uh,” Louis teases before pressing a kiss to his shoulder. “How about if I promise to big spoon you ,” he says in a poor imitation of Harry’s low drawl, “once we get to bed? And if I promise you won’t have to go too far?”

“Of course, you were sitting on the floor waiting for me,” he adds, taking the jacket off and putting it on the counter. “May I ask why?” Louis says, both hands pressed on the counter on each side of his jacket.

He wants him to come back, wants him to have the feeling he’s chasing, wants him to never go without.

They keep Louis busier than he’s been in months, which is exactly what he was hoping for. He barely has the time to miss Harry at all, though he can’t help but always worry about him a little.

Unsurprisingly, Harry shrugs, seemingly unbothered. “You don’t need books to tell interesting stories.” “No,” Louis smirks. “I suppose I don’t.”

“You’re empty until the end of March?”

“I knew you were younger than me,” Louis jokes. “You’ve got that glowing skin of a youngin’.”

And when the B&B is empty Louis can go straight from his bed to the top of the lighthouse in one minute to enjoy the view. It’s pretty amazing, considering.

But now that he knows Harry the way he does, Louis knows Harry cherishes the quiet the way only someone who doesn’t get enough of it does. That those songs are of great comfort to him.

He’s fully awake now and he knows there’s no way he can let Harry sleep on the floor of the tower in February, especially not half naked.

Harry kisses him for the first time on his birthday.

Quickly enough, they’re both sprawled on the sand together, the day beautiful despite the cold and Louis gets Harry to eat at least a small part of his birthday cake, humming happy birthday to him under his breath while Harry laughs and brushes crumbs off his face.

God, no wonder people all around the world go crazy for him.

Louis sighs. “Does it matter? What the label thinks?” He lets his thumb rub against the skin of Harry’s inner wrist. Harry shrugs. “I’m under contract so it really should. But I’m not sure anymore.”

“Nah, I reckon you’ve got something a bit more exciting than that,”

“My new album is coming out in a few months,” is what he says next, taking Louis completely by surprise. “Oh,” Louis exclaims, giving Harry an encouraging, but somewhat confused smile. “That’s great, H. That’s… that’s amazing. Congrats.”

Besides, Louis is used to living with the unknown, the uncertainty. It’s what winter on Fair Isle is made of, nothing can be predicted. And it doesn’t scare Louis.

do you ever think about how fair isle became louis' home and then louis became harry's home?

Louis listens with a smile on his face and sings along when Harry gets goofy like he’s on stage and starts saying things like “you sing!!” while he points a non-existent microphone at Louis.

“Happy New Year Harry,” he says, clenching his jaw. “Happy New Year Louis,” Harry replies before wrapping him into a fierce hug.

Harry shrugs. “It’s New Year’s Eve, we have to dance a little. Don’t you think?”

remember when harry called louis in the middle of the night and said he didn't know what he was fighting for anymore but then days later, he wrote a postcard, saying he was fighting for louis' kind of quiet? yeah, i'm still there.

He does end up giving Harry a piggyback ride to the bakery, his arms tight around Louis’ neck as he sings Edge of Seventeen at the top of his lungs, giving the Ooooh! Baby ooooh! a lot of power.

Sometimes, Harry hums under his breath and it isn’t until the night of December twenty-nine that Louis starts thinking anything of it.

The week between Christmas and New Years Eve passes both quickly and slowly at the same time. They barely leave the lighthouse as the temperature drops and drops, a true winter chill taking over the world.

Still, Louis can’t remember the last time he’s had a white winter so it’s not like he’s feeling like he’s missing out much.

He clears his throat, then tries again. “Do you think you could… just… distract me? Please?”

023

tired tired sea ⚓︎ @ttslvr.bsky.social · 25/12/2025

It’s strange to think it’s Christmas already.

Louis doesn't have to wait very long for an answer because as soon as Harry sees him, his face brightens and he crosses the distance between them in two quick strides, reaching for Louis and wrapping him in a big hug. "Happy birthday," he says, voice warm and rumbling in Louis' ears.

On Christmas Eve, Louis allows himself a bit of a lie in, staying warmly cocooned in bed for an extra forty minutes before he finally gets up and dressed.

Maybe they’re both the kind of lonely that doesn’t fully hurt, the kind of lonely that’s comforting sometimes.

“You really don’t have to worry about that, okay. I know how busy you get at Christmas what with cooking for everyone and stuff. Please, it’s alright. Don’t think about me.”

He’s a lonely soul, Louis could always tell, but that’s not the source of the sadness hovering over him, casting its shadow over his entire body.

He’d forgotten he ran out of the house without a jacket on at night, in the winter. With Harry’s hand in his and the abstract painting created for them by the laws of nature, Louis can’t find it in himself to care.

The end of November arrives almost unnoticed. Or it would, if only for the tiny exception that the sun starts setting at half-three in the afternoon, then at quarter past, then at three, the daylight becoming this almost cryptid presence on the island, barely glimpsed until it vanishes again.

Harry shakes his head, tightening his fingers on Louis’ waist, holding him steady. “No,” he admits. “I couldn’t sleep at all.” It explains the dark circles under his eyes, the tired way he’s holding himself.
