Backpacking Through Europe

Epilogue

"Guys, this is my boyfriend, Harry. Harry, that's Niall, Liam, and Zayn."

Harry smiled and extended a hand for them to shake but Niall just got up and wrapped his arms around him in a bone-crushing hug.
"Finally we got to meet you. Louis hasn't shut up about you since you came back from your trip. It's been two long weeks."

"Shut up, Ni. I don't talk about him that much." Louis protested and rolled his eyes. He looked a little embarrassed.

"You do." Liam said and Zayn nodded his head.

"Well, I'm glad that he hasn't forgotten all about me." Harry answered.

Louis pushed Niall away.
"Can you stop hugging my boyfriend?"

"It feels like I already know him." Niall said but he took a seat again.

Louis wrapped his arms around Harry and gave him a quick peck on the lips before he leaned in to whisper in his ear.
"I would never forget you."

They had returned to England two weeks prior. Harry had gone home to Holmes Chapel to pack up his things and Louis had returned to Doncaster to see his family before school started. They had talked on the phone every day and Louis had spent the weekend at Harry's place because he missed him too much. He had returned to London the week after that and Harry got there on Friday when his mum drove him and his things.

It was Sunday. School started tomorrow. Harry had spent most of Saturday getting situated in his dorm room with Louis' help.

Louis had asked him if he wanted to meet his friends the next day and he agreed even if it made him a little nervous. He didn't have to be. They were great!

He already knew that he would love living in London. Just as he loved Louis but it was too early to tell him that. But he would someday soon.

Louis beat him to it a couple of weeks later. He said it after sex when they were cuddling, trying to catch his breath and it was the perfect moment. Harry immediately said it back.

Going on a backpacking trip through Europe had been a dream of his since his early teens but never in a lifetime had he ever thought that he would find love on the way. Someone like Louis who made him laugh and be spontaneous. Who treated him really well, supported him, and loved him for who he was. He was gonna marry that boy one day.

The End
