Larry~ They don't know about us

The show that changed everything

Harry

When Louis returned 30 minutes later, I had climbed off the bed and met him at the door. 

"What happened? Was it management? Are we introuble?"

He looked past me at Niall, who was waiting on the bed but surely listening since we were both worried as to why he was gone so long. I figured he probably didn't wanna say anything in front of Niall so I took his hand and walked him into the bathroom as and shut the door behind us. His grip on my hand was tight and when I faced him again, I could see tears in his eyes. The first thing I thought to do was just to kiss him.. so I did. I put my arms around his back and pulled him in and his hands went into my hair as we pressed our lips together. These kisses weren't soft and sweet or hard and passionate... they were needy and loving but sad all at once. After a few minutes, I pulled back and opened my eyes. Tears were slowly running down his cheeks and the look on his face absolutely broke my heart. "Lou... What's going on?" 

"Simon... He needed to speak with me.." 

Simon?  Needed to talk to Louis? 

"What's happening? What'd he say?" 

I was a bit panicked now.. If it was about us.. Was Louis gonna get pushed out of the band? Would we be forced into even more secrecy? More management and rules and security? 

"We made a deal..." he sniffled then covered his mouth to muffle the loud sob he let out. I brought my hands up, slowly moving his hair from around his face and trying to comfort him.. then, in a very broken voice, he looked into my eyes and said "You're free."

"Y-you mean... We're free?"

he smiled a little but it was a sad smile as he shook his head 'no'.

"I m-mean... You're free, Hazza.." "What does that even mean, Lou? I'm free? Like.. To be open? What did Simon say to you? What about you?" He sniffled then brought his hands to cup my face and he said "he told me.. if I... if we made sure no one ever, ever found out about us...You could be free. But.. To make sure no one finds out, we have to be even more careful and...not be any kind of flirty or.. o-or even give each other looks and such on stage or at interviews.. W-We can now only be together like this. In a closed room. I-I'm sorry b-but it was either thi-this or..."

His voice broke off and I stared at him. 

"They can't make us break up... Can they?"

The way his eyes looked when he asked me that absolutely broke me and tears started to fall from my eyes as well. 

"No matter what, Louis, I promise I will never, ever leave you. I don't care what anyone else says or thinks... I-I love you..."

The night of the first show:

On stage, everything was amazing.. Screaming, crying, smiling fans filled the room and us five boys were on stage.. About halfway through, we started singing the song I was most nervous for. 

18

All throughout the song, I couldn't stop looking over at Louis.. I knew I was probably gonna hear about it later from management and, hell, I wouldn't be surprised if Simon had something to say, but I couldn't stop myself.. The boy who I am completely head over heels for is being forced to hide their sexuality while I'm 'free'?

No.. I'm not free. I'll never be 'free' until I can kiss Louis, right here, on stage in front of anyone and everyone. 

I'm not free unless I'm with him.

Lou's part comes, which is also the ending....and I could not believe what he did.

He changed the lyrics.

Instead of "I have loved you since we were 18"

he said "I have loved you since we were 16"

....and I swear my heart melted. 

As he said it, he looked at me with a dumb grin on his face while a tear ran down his cheek and I froze where I was. The entire crowd started screaming and chanting 'Larry'.

If we were in trouble before, We were in bad trouble now.

But I didn't care.

He was all the way across the stage from me, but I started to walk over. Liam got in front of em and said "Harry. Think about this." Then I pushed my microphone into his hands and walked past him. I looked back for a second and seen Niall clapping and smiling at me, Zayn was watching with a small approving smile, and Liam looked worried but happy.

Louis noticed I was walking to him and he set his mic in it's holder and turned to me. I pushed my hair out of my face and when he was in reach, I wrapped my arms around his lower back and he brought his hands to my face. 

"Is this it, Harry? Are you sure...?"

"This is our someday."

Then I kissed him.

Everyone was cheering, screaming, chanting, yelling our names, someone even threw a rainbow flag on stage.

When we pulled apart, we stared into each other's eyes before I backed up and grabbed the gay pride flag from the stage floor. Everyone cheered even louder which seemed impossible but they did it.

I held the flag up and spun in a circle then looked at Louis who jumped up and cheered with a huge smile on his lips. 

I ran over to his microphone which was set in the stand, and I screamed into it.. 

"I LOVE LOUIS TOMLINSON!" 

Then Lou ran over next to me and screamed 

"AND I LOVE HARRY STYLES!" 

That was the beginning of the best night of our lives..
