Ship: Harry x Simon
Summary: Simon not ready to tell their friends. Harry is. Angst ensues.
Setting: A studio, like where they filmed experience vs cheap food or blind dating 4.
Warnings: Angst. A lot of it. Mention of sex and drugs. I like reveal/secret relationship fics, okay?

"We should tell them about us. The guys." Harry added the last bit as an afterthought, as if there was anyone else he could possibly be talking about.
Because their family's knew, had told them when Simon went back to Guernsey with Harry for his birthday.
Told everyone else that he was going to his parents and would be back soon. Told them it was pure coincidence that he was going back at the same time Harry was.
Actually did go to his parents house after Guernsey, by himself, to tell his parents because he wasn't even out to them yet and had no idea how they'd react. Didn't want Harry to be there incase it went bad.
And it did, go bad. Was back in London less then two days after leaving Guernsey, in a foul mood that he couldn't talk to anyone but Harry about because after that, he didn't want to tell the boys.
Couldn't risk losing them too. Couldn't risk all that they'd worked for even if he knew, he knew, they would be happy for them.
Harry understood. Told Simon to take as long as he needed, tried to ignore the fact that they'd been together for a year and a half, at this point and Simon still hadn't even told Jj, his best friend.
Took comfort in the knowledge that Cal knew, which made it real, made it feel more like Simon wasn't embarrassed about him and their relationship.
But then, Cal only knew because he'd walked in on them. Had gotten back early, before Simon had left and saw them both naked and panting and laying next to each other, hand in hand.
It didn't take a genius to figure out what had just happened.
Simon freaked out. Made Cal promise not to tell anyone, told him he'd regret it if he did and then left, even if he didn't need to anymore because Cal knew.
Avoided Harry for a few days, until Harry dragged him into the studio bathroom and asked him what the fuck was up.
Asked if he had done something wrong.
Simon had kissed him. To shut him up, or because they hadn't been alone in days and he just needed to. Needed to be that close to Harry, again, before the inevitable argument that was coming.
'I'm sorry.' He had said, when his apologies still meant something. When they were more then empty words that he said just to get the yelling and the crying and the pain to stop.
He had forgiven him, with a smile and a promise to talk about it later when they were at home, alone.
"Harry..." Simon breathed out, ran his hand through Harry's hair as his head was rested on his chest.
They'd been through this before. Simon adamant that he doesn't want to them to know, because he's scared, because last time had ended with his family refusing to talk to him.
With him having to explain to Jj that he wasn't going home this Christmas without actually telling him why.
With him crying, in Harry's arms even though he's not a big cryer, usually, because this might be the worst possible outcome he could think of.
With him doubting everything for weeks on end, worried that Harry was going to think this was too much to handle and was going to end the relationship and this all would have been for nothing.
