Louis is blinded by the lights as he slowly lets go of Harry's hand and walks to his microphone. He feels relieved, no one's booing, everyone is screaming loudly and it makes Louis feel like they are glad that he's here.
" I always said that I'd mess up eventually," his voice is shaky but he continues more confidently as the screaming gets louder and louder," I told you that so what did you expect from me? It shouldn't come as no surprise anymore."
It's Harry's turn," I know you said that you'd give me another chance but you and I knew the truth of it in advance that mentally, you were already out the door. Ladies and gentlemen, Louis William Tomlinson," he shouts.
They continue singing when Louis spots a girl crying in the front row, she's holding a rainbow flag in her trembling hands. He gives the girl a smile and grabs the flag, walking back next to Harry, who is already waving his own tiny rainbow flag. The flashes and the lights are still blinding but the two men go closer to each other.
Louis feels the tears prickling at the back of his eyes as he hears his favourite part of the entire song.
" And it's been ages, different stages..."
It feels like the crowd and the whole world gets silent for a second. Louis closes his eyes and leans closer to Harry, ignoring the music, the noises, the lights, it's just him and Harry. Teardrops fall down his face as their lips meet, making Louis think of their first conversation in the toilet, their secret touches on stage and while interviews, the day Harry asked him to be his boyfriend, the day they moved in together, the night they first made love, their wedding kiss, when Clifford accidentally barked in the middle of Harry's interview, the warmth of Harry's body constantly trying to comfort Louis whenever he's feeling low. He loves this curly man in front of him so much that he just can't control his feelings anymore, he gently bites Harry's lip and leans away. He starts sobbing in his husband's arms that feel like strongest but also the softest ropes in the world, protecting him from everything.
The crowd is cheering and shouting, they are going crazy.
" Come so far from Princess Park," they scream.
And it is so true, they have come so far from Princess Park, they have been through a lot, they've grown and aged but one thing never changed. The infinite, overwhelming love they feel for each other. And it is never going to change. Because Harry Edward Styles and Louis William Tomlinson were made for each other, they deserve to be together, they deserve to be happy and what is the most important, they deserve to be free again.
