You can't make me happy. Those were the exact same words Louis had said over five years ago. Harry could literally see his heart dropping and breaking on the ground. He swallowed and held Louis tighter. "Please, Lou" It was nothing more than a sob a...
"I'm gonna take this drunk dad here and get him to the hotel. It's late enough" Liam announced, making Zayn giggle. "Did you just call me daddy?" "Oh shut up Zayn" Liam chuckled and helped the black-haired to put on his jacket. "Or he'll spank you" Niall grinned and laughed when Liam threw a pillow at him. "Good night, besties" Zayn announced, making a peace sign as he walked out the door, followed by Liam who just gave them a quick wave before catching up with Zayn. "Can I leave you alone for a minute? I really need to go to the loo" "Spare me the details and go" Louis grimaced and took a sip of his drink. "Your lover will be back soon, I'm sure" Niall grinned and Louis rolled his eyes. "You know, if I could sell you on eBay, I'd do it" "I love you too, Lou" Niall laughed and left the room, leaving Louis on his own.
He was too curious to not pick up his phone and open social media again. Harry's post was the most liked Instagram post already, after not even 5 hours. Louis shook his head with a grin on his face that made him feel even more stupid. He was so happy, it was too good to be true.

Louis took another sip of his drink, the grin on his face even wider now. Getting up, he walked over to the minibar and took out another bottle. When he heard the door being opened, he didn't even turn around. "Why the fuck did Niall put an empty bottle in the bar? Fucking idiot" "Oh I don't know that" The door closed and Louis flinched, hearing Simon's voice. He turned around and looked at the man. "I think Niall clearly said we don't want you here" "Oh I give a fuck about what you want" The man's face was tense from anger as he made his way towards Louis. "As if I didn't know that" Louis mumbled and continued to pour himself a drink. "Why don't you just leave me alone, Simon?" "You clearly don't know who you're talking to, Tomlinson. You should shut your mouth and listen"
Trying to be relaxed, Louis took a sip of his drink. The alcohol from the first few drinks already made him heat up. Breathe. "I will make your life a living hell. I promise you that, Louis. You didn't only break every contract you signed, you also went behind my back and what for? Tell me what do you have now?" "I'm with the man I love. I chose myself" Simon laughed drily. "The man you love? That love won't hold. It will never hold, Louis. As soon as the next gorgeous supermodel walks into the room, he won't even look at his pathetic boyfriend. You're nothing" He spat and a shiver went down Louis' spine. Trying not to listen to him, he took another sip, feeling tears coming up in his eyes. He didn't want to be weak. But hearing those words hit him like a truck.
"Look at Harry, Louis. He will go out of this whole relationship as the strong, independent man. It's his image after leaving the band. He tries to put himself in a position to push his career forward. And it works. Look at his Instagram after publishing that picture. It's the most liked post ever. And I can't even blame him. That's how this industry works. You know how much relationships are used. Don't let him fool you"
"Shut up! Shut up, shut up, shut up! You know nothing about Harry! Leave him the fuck alone! You want someone to blame? Easy. Take it out on me. He didn't know that I was about to kiss him. He didn't know that I was about to make it official. Harry isn't playing games! So shut the fuck up!" Louis exclaimed. "Are you sure about that?" Simon raised a brow and Louis could feel his blood boil. "Leave him alone! Just leave us alone, damn it. What is so fucking hard for you to just let it be? I'm happy. I don't know how long I will last, I don't know if Harry wants to spend the rest of his life with me, I fucking don't know. But I'm happy. So just get the fuck out" Simon took a step forward. "Careful, Louis. You're more and more pathetic. You don't deserve-"
Simon didn't get to the end of his sentence. He was pulled back and before anyone could react, a fist met his face with a loud smacking noise. The man stumbled and fell before another punch hit him, making him moan in pain. Louis blinked, unable to move. He watched the scene and slowly realized that it was Niall kneeling over Simon, hitting him again and again. The sound of bones breaking echoed in his ears paired with Simon's moans and screams of pain as he tried to fight back.
"Niall stop!" It was Harry who pulled Niall back, away from Simon, his arms tightly wrapped around the Irishman who tried to get back to Simon at first. "You better get out of here, bastard!" Louis had never seen Niall like that. His face red in anger, his fists balled and ready to fight again. Ironically, it was Louis who helped Simon to his feet. His face was covered in blood, his nose was bleeding and from its look, Louis assumed it was broken. The man's jawline looked like it took a pretty hard hit as well. His face was swollen, his bottom lip busted and bleeding. "This- will have consequences- you will pay for this, Horan!" Freeing himself out of Louis' grip, he tumbled towards the door. "Oh I'd love to pay for them finally fixing you face. You should really do something about that nose and those lips!" Niall exclaimed, Harry still holding him back.
The door was slammed shut and Louis flinched. "Niall, what the fuck?!" Harry looked at the blonde and frowned. "No, 'Niall what the fuck'." Niall turned to look at Louis. "You don't let anyone talk to you like that. The things he said- Louis, that's far from legal. You don't let him talk to you like that!" Louis bit his bottom lip and nodded. "Say something!" Louis flinched again and looked at Niall. "I wanted to- but I just couldn't-" "Well I did. And I could. Man, that felt incredible." Niall let himself fall onto the couch, grabbing Louis' glass. "Is it whiskey?" Before Louis could answer, Niall had already emptied the glass.
Louis' eyes met Harry's and he bit the inside of his cheeks. "What did he say?..!" The look on Harry's face was shocked, his muscles tense like he would follow Simon any second. "Nothing that's worth being repeated" He simply answered. He knew that Simon was wrong. But knowing he was wrong didn't change the fact that his words hurt. Harry nodded and simply hugged his boyfriend, making him feel safe and loved. "You know I love you, right?" The man whispered into his ears, making him look up at him. "I know, curly" A smile appeared on Louis' face as he stepped back. "I should get Niall some ice. He deserves it" Harry chuckled, making Louis' heart skip a little faster.
When he passed Niall the ice, the Irishman thanked him. "No, I have to thank you. Thank you Niall" "You're more than welcome, Tommo" He grinned, took a sip of his beer and leaned back. "You know, I feel like Captain America. Just...Captain Ireland or something. Captain Ireland sounds cool, doesn't it? Or Captain Larry. I'll have to think about it. What do you think?- No wait! Captain Ireland, protector of Larry. That's it, fuckers" Louis couldn't help but laugh. "I'll call you whatever you want" "Ok daddy" Niall wiggled his eyebrows making Louis laugh even more. "Hey! Only I am allowed to call him that!" Harry exclaimed making Niall gulp. "Can I get details? Larry fanfiction smut is getting tiring" "Absolutely not" Harry said and Louis shook his head, making Niall sigh. "One can dream" With that, he closed his eyes and a few seconds later he was sleeping on the couch of Harry's dressing room at the Grammy's. "If he wouldn't have punched Simon, I'd take a picture and blackmail him" Harry said with a smile on his face. "I'll take the picture. We can still blackmail him in a few years" Louis shrugged making Harry laugh.
