"Lou?" Harry calls from the opposite side of the bed.
"Yes Angel?"
"Of all the years, I've never gotten a reason why you love me."
Harry tucks away his book under their blue duvet sheets, turning to Lou whose evidently confused.
"What do you mean? I tell you the reasons why I'm in love with you everyday." He furrows his brows, resting his head on the heel of his palm while staring into Harry's green eyes. "Obviously and I'm thankful for that but I don't think I ever knew why you decided I was worth loving. Of all the people in the world, I was the one you chose."
Harry was self conscious. A little too self reflecting for his uneasy train of thought. He'd wander off into different worlds of negativity. Not even he knew why.
I guess some would say he just wanted to be liked, he never wanted a soul to think badly of him. That's exactly why he needed reassurance, he was glad Lou of all people would be there to remind him of his worth.
"I could ask you the same thing you know, with all of my wired traits you still find a way to put up with me. I'm not perfect and I've always believed that I could never be one to be worthy of your love but here I am today. We're married and I realized I deserved nothing else but you. Even if we can't have the world like we planned at seventeen I know that we can make one."
"One of our own. Just you and I."
Lou took a hold of Harry's stammering palms and kissed his knuckles, it made Harry blush at the fact that there was no changing how he felt.
Louis was his sunshine and that could never change. No one was as perfect as him. His summery brunette hair, the short wrinkles at the corners of his eyes when he smiled or laughed, and the beautiful ridges of his nose.
They gazed at each other with love and compassion, Louis was still yet to tell Harry why he loved him, why Harry was and always will be the one.
"Harry I fell in love with you first because love is you."
"I'm not following." Harry pouts and cringes at the thought of him not understanding what the hell Louis just spit. "Baby I fell in love with you because of your will too keep smiling. The day I met you, backstage at the X factor, I fell in love. And you were so broken, with the numerous bracelets that covered your pain yet you continued to smile. I know you didn't want to put that brave face on but you did it anyway. I wanted to be with you so that you could never feel alone again."
"You're heart is so pure, I'm here to keep it content forever." Louis finishes, scooting closer to Harry whose cheeks were flustered, few but little tears fell to his chin in shock of how in detailed Louis' feelings were.
Harry knew why he loved Lou but it could never beat the reasons of Louis' passion.
"I wanted to make sure your smile is real forever, you faked your happiness for so long, I couldn't let you do that anymore." He blurts, bringing more salty water to Harry's tear ducks causing them to flood at the edges.
"I don't know what to say." Harry whispers into Louis' neck as Lou held him through his cries. "You don't have to say anything but I love you." Lou suggests, flurrying Haz's curls causing wind to flow through his ear drums.
"If I wasn't clear enough before, that's why I loved you first." Lou chuckles in Haz's embrace. "I can't help but love you too." ——— ———
