Louis found his seat and sat down next to his boyfriend, he turned to him and smiles before silently placing a hand on Harry's thigh and whispering, "You've got this, baby. We're going to graduate together yeah?"
"Yeah," Harry mumbled back eyes on the stage as their Principle Higgins began her speech.
Principle Higgins goes through her speech, congratulating the second years and talking about their time at the college.
Eventually, they get on to giving out diploma's, she works her way through in the alphabetical order they're sat in. Each student is called by name and their choice of university is called out for all to hear. They all take their diploma's, shaking hands with the Principle and walking across to the end of the stage, flipping the tassel on their hats to the other side of their caps before they walk off of the stage and walk back to their seats.
Soon enough Principle Higgins is calling out, "Harry Styles, London University." Harry stands up and walks to the edge of the stage. He takes in a deep breath and proceeds to climb the steps. He smiles as he walks over to his Principle, he shakes her hand and accepts the beige piece of rolled up and tied paper containing his diploma, confirming his graduation. He walked over to the edge of the stage and just as he was flipping the tassel he heard, "Louis Tomlinson, London University." He turned and smiled at his boyfriend, finished flipping his tassel and walked off the stage back to his seat.
Louis stood up, returning Harry's smile. He walked to the edge of the stage his heart beating so fast, this was it. A whole year of college done, he made multiple friends some of which were going to London with him. He'd met the most amazing boy and made him his. He was ready for the next step, with that thought in his head he walked up the stairs and over to his Principle. When Louis reached her he shook her hand, receiving the rolled diploma with a smile. He walked over to the edge of the stage, ignoring the claps and the name of the next graduate. His eyes focusing in on his mum crying, Mark with the twins on his knee clapping hard for him, Lottie and Felicite sat in between the parents smiling and cheering for their older brother. He smiled one last time and began walking off the stage. He went back and found his seat ready to listen to the rest of the ceremony.

Over two hours later the ceremony was done. Students began to disperse going to find their families. Louis turned to Harry and pulled the younger lad into a kiss agreeing to meet him after so that their parents could meet for the first time. They parted ways, Harry walking off to go and find his mum and Gemma while Louis turned to see four girls hurtling towards him. He crouched down and opened his arms wide, "Hi, girlies."
"Louis," they all shouted.
"Did you have fun?"
"You looked so good, Lou," Lottie spoke up, just as the twins shouted, "Yes."
"Good, come on now let's go find mum and dad yeah?" he said reaching out to wrap an arm around Lottie's shoulder, knowing know matter how much she said she enjoyed the ceremony she didn't want him to leave the following weekend. He grabbed onto Phoebe's hand while Felicite had Daisy's in hers. They walked off out of the crowd to find Mark and Johannah smiling happily at their five children. Louis moved away from his sisters and pulled his mum into a hug, careful to not crush the flowers he gave her and the ones he'd picked out for Harry.
"Congratulations, Lou," Johannah spoke into his ear, "I'm so proud of you."
"Thank you, mum, really and I love you too, so much," Louis replied before letting go of his mum and pulling Mark into a hug, he'd never really hugged Mark, but it felt so right especially with what he was going to say next. He slowly pulled back as his mum handed him the papers nodding for him to go ahead, "So, Mark. You've been in my life since I was fourteen, you've been there for me every football game or big achievement and even the small things. You've been there for my mum when I couldn't be and," he gestured for his to youngest sisters to come over, "you gave me three, including yourself, more people to love and to support me. You gave me a last name even if you aren't my bio dad and I couldn't be more thankful for you, which is why I want you to read this," he handed over the papers and waited.
Mark slowly read over the papers a bright smile landed on his face as a tear slipped down his cheek, "You... you want me to uhm.. you want me to adopt you?"
"Yes, I've never been so sure of anything. You've supported me like a father, you've done everything I could ever ask for. Mark, will you be my dad?"
"Yes, yes a thousand times yes," he sniffed before pulling Louis into another hug, "I love you, Lou, so much."
"I love you too." Louis pulled away slight tears dropping down his face as he saw Harry approach with his mum and sister. "Mum, dad, girls this is Gemma and Anne, Harry's mum and sister. Gemma, Anne this is Johannah, Mark, Lottie, Felicite, Phoebe and Daisy," he said gesturing to each person as he spoke.

They spent half an hour just talking and taking photos. Louis got one last photo with Harry. He turned Harry looking him straight in the eyes before reaching up and kissing him just as the camera click went off. He pulled away and spoke up, "Dinner me and you tonight yeah?"
"Okay, of course." One last kiss and they pulled apart. Louis telling his family he'd see them tomorrow while Harry thanked Anne for taking the photo agreeing to see her in the morning so they could help pack his room.
Both boys met up with the rest of their friends and took some more photos before they all headed back to the dorms.
Louis and Harry split, going their separate ways to get ready. They agreed on meeting in the lobby of the dorm building at six p.m. to go out.
When Harry got back to his dorm, he knew Zayn wouldn't be back yet as he'd gone with Stevie for a meal with their parents. So, he stripped his clothes, not bothering to throw them in the wash basket or grab a clean set for when he was done, he walked across the room and into the bathroom. Almost immediately he flicked the shower on waiting for it to get hot before stepping in. He ran his hands threw his curls detangling them before lathering shampoo from the roots to the ends. He rinsed the shampoo out before applying conditioner to just the ends, hoping to give them a natural shine. Once he'd washed the shampoo and conditioner out, he covered his body in a watermelon flavoured body wash he'd stolen from his sister. After cleaning his body head to toe, Harry cut the shower out, wrapped a towel around his waist and went to brush his teeth over the sink. He finished brushing his teeth before blow drying and styling his curls. Harry stepped out of the bathroom with a soft white towel wrapped around his waist, he walked over to his draws pulling on a pair of tight black boxers. Then walking over to his wardrobe, he pulled on his tightest pair of black, skinny jeans and a dark blue button up that he only buttoned halfway, leaving his chest and the top of his moth tattoo exposed. He sprayed his favourite cologne on his jaw and wrist.
He then spent the next hour sat on his bed flicking through different TV channels just waiting for Louis to turn up at his dorm.
Louis on the other hand grabbed his new clothes from the shopping bag his mum had left in his dorm and a pair of boxers from his draw and walked straight into the bathroom. Flicking the shower on and waiting for it to get hot before stepping inside. He washed his entire body with some vanilla shower gel, then washing his hair with the shampoo he had bought a couple days prior. After he'd rinsed all the suds away, he turned the shower off, wrapping a towel around his waist and went to the sink, to start brushing his teeth. When he finished, he styled his hair – he shook his head before pushing it to the side of his forehead. Louis then pulled his boxers over his legs, followed by his new black, skinny jeans, making sure to check out his ass in the mirror. He then pulled the new white t-shirt over his head, pushing his arms through the new red button up. He left the button up fully undone before walking out of the bathroom and pulling on a pair of vans he had, the black ones with the red roses.
He grabbed his phone, wallet, and the rose's he'd brought for Harry that his mum had dropped off before walking out of the dorm, making sure to lock the door behind him.
Louis walked to Harry's dorm.
