A/N Hey! So yes, I was originally going to make this fic much longer, but it was my first fic and so it is patchy and more than a little rough in some (well most) places. I'm going to wrap it up for you all now, I'm sorry if you wanted more out of it, and I am more than aware there are heaps of loose ends. So to those who stuck with me through this thank you thank you thank you!

5 years later (I cringe at big time jumps too)

Excited cheers and shouts echo through the stadium and Louis couldn't have been smiling any harder if he tried. You see after Louis and Harry survived uni they'd decided to go out to a local karaoke night and Harry got piss drunk. But what was more shocking than Harry's ability to down so many shots was the fact the little shit could sing too. The memory still makes Louis smile till his cheeks hurt, just as he had when Harry belted out a flawless version of 'Take Me To Church'. 

And apparently everyone else who'd been in the bar that night agreed as someone had uploaded it to youtube. The video had blown up, and Harry was offered a contract into the music industry which Louis encouraged him to go for, and they never looked back. 

Louis snaps out of his reminiscing as he hears Harry address the crowd, he looks up beaming at how amazing Harry looks, theres a light sheen of sweat coating his skin after he's spent the duration of Kiwi dancing like an absolute maniac. 

"Alright everyone I've got one more song for you here tonight" Harry pauses letting the crowd scream before raising his hand to silence them, Louis rolls his eyes, cocky prick.

"As I was saying" Harry turns to flash Louis both dimples from where he is backstage, "This song is very special to me and I think you already know what I'm about to sing" Harry basks in the crowds screams once more before moving back to stand behind the mic stand clicking it back into place and shaking out his curls. 

The intro of the song starts and Louis' heart sways a little his song

'Sweet creature 

Had another talk about where it's going wrong

But we're still young

We don't know where we're going

But we know where we belong'

Louis' smile fades a little as he thinks back to when him and Harry got so so close to calling it quits, it was right around exam time and they were both stressed out of their minds. Louis had been worn down exhausted mentally like never before and he'd taken it all out on his gorgeous Harry. Louis smiles a little thinking about how Harry had cradled him close as he'd cried into his chest, but they'd talked it out they always did, and thats what Louis loved about Harry he was so understanding and empathetic towards Louis always.

And oh we started

Two hearts in one home

It's hard when we argue

We're both stubborn

I know, but oh

Louis can't help but chuckle thinking back to when they first moved in together and Harry would get so mad at the walking mess Louis was. It had taken time but they'd compromised and Louis had learnt to fold and put away his clothes, well Harry did it most of the time but still.

Sweet creature, sweet creature

Wherever I go, you bring me home

Sweet creature, sweet creature

When I run out of road, you bring me home

His heart aches in his chest thinking back to when Harry first went on tour and Louis was stuck in his job unable to go with him. It had hurt so much seeing the photos and videos all over social media of Harry singing and smiling and laughing, and the paparazzi pictures where it looked like he was dating anyone and everyone. But unlike Louis' worries Harry hadn't found anyone better or hotter than Louis and he stayed true to his word returning back home to Louis as he'd promised. 

Sweet creature

We're running through the garden

Oh, where nothing bothered us

But we're still young

I always think about you and how we don't speak enough

This one hurt a little too, because although Louis was beyond happy for Harry and his success it meant they spent a lot less time together. Especially when Harry was out touring or recording new music their busy schedules always clashed and sometimes they'd go a week without speaking for more than brief moments. But Louis was ok with it mainly when he'd have gone to sleep alone as Harry had been out late recording and he'd wake in the middle of the night pulled tight against Harry's chest.

Louis smiles softly, swaying to the rest of the song, it gives him butterflies every time because it highlights the ups and downs of their relationship, but at the end of it Louis always ends up falling that bit more in love with Harry. 

Once the screams of the audience dies down Harry speaks once again, "I want to thank each and every one of you for coming out tonight, but before I do that I think you all know that song is about my person in this world"

Louis blushes furiously as the crowd roars and Harry walks over to him bringing him out of the wings of the stage, the lights momentarily blinding Louis before his eyes adjust.  

"Ok now that he's here I want to say the biggest thank you to this man right here, Louis Tomlinson you have changed my life, in so many ways." The crowd roars impossibly louder and Louis can only stand there waiting for Harry who turns and takes Louis' hand in his own speaking directly to him, "When I first met you I wasn't in a good place, but if you looked at me from the outside it would've looked like I had everything and yes I guess you could say I did have everything but there was a gaping hole in my heart. And I never knew how to fill it, that was until you of course."

Harry clears his throat before speaking again, the audience now dead silent, "Lou when I first met you I didn't think you were real, I mean how could you be real you are the most beautiful human" Harry pauses turning to face the audience, "aren't I right?" They scream and clap in response a blush racing up Louis' cheeks.

"Lou you showed me beauty in a world of pain you showed me how to smile and how to want to make the most out of every day, and now I can quite openly say that you Louis Tomlinson saved my life." The audience coos. 

Louis looks over the sea of people all there, all attention on him and Harry. When he turns back to face Harry he looks down to see Harry on one knee and gasps. 

Harry is beaming up at him, tears threatening to spill over his eyes, "Lou you've been cruel enough to show me what true love feels like and now I can never ever get enough of you no matter how much time I spend with you it will never be enough." He pauses taking a shaky breath, Louis holding his own breath heart pummelling his chest, "I love you and will continue to love you with my whole heart, everything I have its all yours if you'll have me, will you Louis William Tomlinson, marry me?" 

And Louis' crying and nodding his head like a crazy person "Yes Harry oh my god of course I'll marry you I'm all yours I always have been since the day I met you." Louis says tears streaming down his face before falling to his knees wrapping his arms around Harry's neck hugging him before pressing their lips together both smiling into the kiss. 

The microphone having been discarded somewhere on the stage Harry presses his mouth to the shell of Louis' ear, "You saved me Lou you really truly did, and for each and every day as long as I live I will continue to save you."
