Harry's POV

Harry stood there frozen in place before turning on his heals. "NO!" Harry reaches out grabbing Louis arm and spins him around backing him slowly up to the car. "H-Haz.." Louis breathes. "Don't leave me, please don't Louis, i can't loose you Lou please, please i love you Louis, i am in love with you. I have loved you since i was 16 years old. Please don't leave me." Harry breaks down a flood of tears falling from his eyes.

"You love me?" Louis whispers. "Yes you idiot i fucking love you, you broke my heart into 5000 pieces, but i am still so in love with you. I lo-" Harry is interrupted by Louis's lips pressing into his own. It takes him a couple seconds to register what is happening before he starts kissing back.

The kiss is soft, but full of passion, like they are both holding onto each other by their lips, scared that when they let go it will all disappear before them. Louis licks at Harry's bottom lip asking for entrance, gladly welcoming Louis in allowing him to take control of the kiss.

After what feels like ages the two break apart for air. "Stay" Harry whispers against Louis lips. "H-" "No Lou please just stay, let's talk for real. I know you and I know you don't want to leave. I see it in your eyes it's breaking you to walk away from this, the band. Let just please go inside I'll make us some dinner it's already half 7 and we can just talk figure this out." Harry interrupts.

"Okay, yeah okay I'll stay and we can talk. But when we are done you are going to want me to leave anyway so just prepare your self for that"

"I won't... I know I won't." Harry reassures. "Keep telling yourself that Curly" Louis mumbles before walking in towards the house. Harry let's out a long sigh before following Louis in.

Harry puts the Lasagna in the oven and sets the timer before turning to Louis. "You ready to talk Lou?" Harry asks. "Yeah lets go into the living room." The two make their way to the living room sitting on either side of the couch.

"I guess I'll start at the day that Simon pulled me into this office, that's when everything changed." Louis sighs.

*Flashback*

"Simon what did you want to see me about?" Louis asks entering Simon's office. Simon points to the chair /in the corner of the room."Please sit down and close the door" Louis closes the door and walks over to the chair making himself comfy. "What's this about?" "Louis you know i only want what's best for you boys right?" Simon smiles. "Uh yeah" Louis face contorts. "Well look, i know you care about Harry and you two are well close..." "Yeah he's my best friend what's going on? Is Harry okay?"

Simon sighs. "Listen Louis... somethings need to change with you and Harry..."

"W-what d-do you mean?" Louis stutters. "Listen Louis, the two of you have sparked some rumours with the fans that there is something going on between the two of you, is there?" Simon questions. "I mean we are best friends and super close but nothing more if that's what you are getting at?"

"Well Louis i am going to need you to put some distance between you and Harry, no more flirtatious banter, no more going out together and always touching each other. You and Harry can never sit together in public or in interviews. Make it seem like you guys are no longer friends better yet actually stop being friends with him for real got it?" Simon stares down Louis looking him dead in the eyes, there was no emotion behind Simon's eyes almost like he was void of feeling anything, just cold and empty.

"What, why?!" Louis shouts. "Because Louis we can not have two gay boys in this band, it would damage the image, so from now on no more shut down any Larry Stylinson rumours."

"What if i refuse? You can't make me stop being friends with my best friend." Louis screams tears welling in his eyes. "Oh but i can young Louis. You signed a contract giving me full control over your public image, there for i get to decide what that image looks like.  As for what would happen if you don't, Harry would be kicked out of One Direction, black listed from any recording company and never be able to release any of his own music for the next 10 years."

"You would punish Harry! What the actual fuck is wrong with you, he isn't even here to understand the consequences Simon that is not fair. Harry is born for this he is a natural born rockstar and you would just take that all away from him because of some fucking rumours?" Louis screams.

"Do not test me on this Louis, Harry is the only way you will ever do it and i know that. So if you want to protect your "friend" i suggest you follow along with all of my instructions" Simon shouts. "That will be all Louis, remember Harry's career hangs in your hands." Simon states before standing up to dismiss Louis.

Louis says nothing, holding back any tears until he is out of Simons sight he does not to give him the satisfaction of knowing that he got to him. He couldn't let Harry's dream be destroyed, this is all Harry has ever wanted. He would have to talk to Harry about all of this.

"Oh and Louis! You can not mention anything to Harry got it! Nothing at all!" Simon shouts after him.

Great just fucking great now what.

* End of Flashback*

"I'm sorry Harry" Louis breaks down in tears  "Lou..." Harry pulls him into his chest wrapping his arms around Louis reassuringly. "I am so sorry you had that much pressure on you. It's okay you were just trying to protect me" Harry lets a few tears fall down his cheeks.

"I still treated you horrible Harry how can you just say it was okay. Harry it's okay to still hate me" Louis sniffles. "Because Louis I understand, yeah i'm still really hurt, but you were just trying to protect me. Baby i don't hate you. If anything I love you more for trying to protect me. You did everything to protect the second thing i want most in this world." Harry whispered into Louis neck. Louis blushes at the pet name "What's the first thing?"

"You Lou, it's always been you."

Louis looks up at Harry connecting their lips, its a soft, gentle kiss just a calm reassuring like they were letting each other know that it would all be okay now, they had each other.

"Lou" "Yeah love?" Louis questions "W-what are we going to do now?" Harry whispers almost as if he is scared that if he says it any louder the answer will break him. Louis sits up on the couch and looks Harry directly in the eye. "I don't know, but the one thing i do know is if you still want me i never want to leave your side again. But if you want me to leave, i will leave. Harry i will do whatever you ask of me."

"Don't you dare leave me again Louis Tomlinson, I don't care about the consequences i just want you." Harry says sternly. "Okay, I'll stay baby." Louis smiles, pet name slipping off his tongue as if it was meant to be there. A blush creeps its way onto Harry's face. "Baby... I like it when you say that." Harry giggles.

"Harry go on a date with me. Please?" Louis asks. "I would love nothing more." Harry smiles.

The two lean in lips inches from each other when the oven timer goes off making them both jump. "Come on babe lets go eat." Louis smiles standing up taking Harry's hand in his guiding them both to the kitchen.

"What is this?" Harry asks seeing the note on the kitchen table. "Oh um... it's my goodbye note to the boys and you." Louis blushes. "Let's make a promise right here right now no more heart breaking notes are going to be left on this kitchen table." Harry decrees.

"Deal"
