Louis sits on the steps of Harry's house, hands shaking. He has to tell him how he feels. He just can't keep it in any longer. He's been in love with Harry for four years. He rises to his feet shakily and knocks on the door.
Harry opens the door. Louis opens his mouth before closing it again upon seeing that Harry has tears running down his cheeks. His eyes are red and his lip trembling. Louis furrows his eyebrows.
"Hazza?" Louis says. "What's wrong?"
"Zayn is leaving the band." Harry says, more tears falling from his bright green eyes.
Louis's face falls. "Are you serious?"
Harry nods. "Yeah." He says.
"Oh, Haz, come here." Louis says.
He opens his arms and Harry runs into them, wrapping his arms around him, burying his face in his neck. Harry's whole body shakes and Louis rubs his back. He presses a kiss to the top of his head.
"Hazza, it'll be okay..." Louis murmurs.
Harry lifts his head, sniffing. "Wh-Why'd you come here, Lou?"
"That's not important, Haz." Louis says softly. "You're upset. I'll tell you some other time."
Harry starts crying harder. "I'm sorry!" He says. "I'm sorry! I ruin everything. I'm sorry. I'm probably the reason Zayn left."
"Hazza, don't be ridiculous." Louis says. "You do not ruin everything. You didn't make Zayn leave."
Harry looks down, tears falling onto his shoes. "I'm sorry." He whispers.
Louis puts his hands on Harry's face. "You don't have anything to be sorry for. You didn't do anything."
"That's the whole problem, Lou." Harry says quietly.
"Stop it." Louis says forcefully. "Stop it. You're fucking perfect. So just stop it."
Harry stops crying and looks at him. "What? What are you talking about?"
"Harry, you...you...I honestly don't have words for you." Louis says. "You're the most perfect person I've ever met."
Harry smiles slightly. "Thanks."
"Now, uh," Louis says. "I'm gonna do something, but you can't kill me for it, okay?"
"Okay." Harry says.
Louis kisses him, pressing his hands to Harry's cheeks. He kisses him gently, just trying to comfort him. When he pulls away, Harry looks at him.
"Louis..." He breathes. "You-you..."
"Sorry." Louis says quietly. "I just couldn't not do it anymore."
Harry smiles softly. "Yeah? Well, I'd appreciate if you did it more."
Louis grins. "Anytime."
And this time, Harry kisses him.
