Late 2017.

"Haz!" Louis yelled. "It's on fire!"

He heard heavy footsteps running through the hall. "Jesus, I told you not to cook!" Harry laughed, putting a lid on the pot that caught flame. Louis panted, resting his hands on his hips. "You're a hazard."

Louis flipped off his boyfriend, his thumb tucked in. "As if you don't trash my art studio every time I'm trying to paint."

Harry smiled, dimple prominent. He pulled Louis into him, kissing the boy slowly. They were smiling through the kiss, causing them both to giggle and pull away.

"I think we have to order in. There's no way you can make a Christmas dinner that fast."

Harry pursed his lips. "Are you doubting my talents?"

Louis thought for a second, running his hands up Harry's chest and cupping them around his face. "Yes. Yes, I am."

Harry cackled and shoved Louis away. Harry's phone rang from the couch and Louis went to answer it. "Louis speaking for Harry Styles."

"Please pass the phone." Louis groaned at the voice he was hearing.

"Pleasure to speak with you again too, Simon."

Simon groaned. "Pass. The. Phone, Louis."

Louis held it away from his ear and walked over to Harry. "Your boss is speaking." He whispered.

Harry's eyes widened. "Say I'm sick or something."

"He's sick." Louis answered, crossing an arm over his stomach. "Not sure he wants to talk right now."

"This is about the Grammy's."

Louis' eyebrows shot up and shoved the phone into Harry's hands. "Take it." He nodded quickly.

Harry brought the phone to his ear and began talking. "Hello? Okay. What? Really? Oh my God! You're joking! Okay, when? Can I bring- But he's my- Simon. I have to take her? No! I'm taking L- I'll do what I want." Harry kept groaning over and over. "He's going with me."

Louis was biting his lip anxiously. Harry had released a song in the early months of 2017 just for fun, but in the span of two weeks, he blew up and went viral. After that, he decided to keep writing and release an album. Harry was the biggest pop star of 2017.

"Okay. Bye, Simon." Harry hung up. Louis waited expectantly. "I've got invited to the Grammy's. Simon said he doesn't think I'll win anything, but Sign of the Times was nominated for a few categories, and they want me to preform it. And he wanted me to take Taylor as my date, but I want to take you."

Louis cocked his head. "Why Taylor? And not Gemma?"

"You know how Columbia is." Harry shrugged and threw some more ingredients into a pot. "Anyway, Simon said I could take you, but not as a date. I would have to specify you as my friend."
