Reunion Redo

I feel like I  get better at writing, every second of the day. So, when I go back and read my old ones I'm just so APPALLED.

Some of my old shit is so embarrassing. Like Reunion for example. Rereading it makes me want to cry. So I decided for the New Year I'd give myself a second chance. So welcome to

Reunion take two~

Their relationship hasn't gotten any better. Harry noticed that even on their last show as a band years ago, the tension had never been so.... thick. Especially since he knew he was half of the cause. The other half, well...

It was nearing the end, about 10 minutes left. The boys didn't have anything left on their set actually. He wondered if this was intentional or an oversight. But someone had to do it.

"Can I sign us off?" Harry asked his band mates. And yes, they were his band mates again. Liam shrugged. So did Louis. With that, Harry walked up to the mic and spoke to their audience, "Our last song of the night will be Lights Up" Harry concluded smugly.

Zayn's eyes widened, then narrowed. Was Zayn angry at him? Now way. He couldn't be. After all, Harry wrote this song for him. Zayn should be praising him.

The fans cheered as the backing track for Lights Up started playing,

What do you mean?
"I'm sorry by the way?"

Zayn's jaw clenched. Was it a good idea to make him even more angry? Harry didn't care, really.

I'm never coming back down
Can't you see?
I could but wouldn't stay?
I wouldn't put it like that,

Through the whole song, the sour look on Zayn's sculpted face never deteriorated. Oh if looks could kill.

All the lights couldn't put out the dark
Running through my heart
Lights up and they know who you are
Know who you are
Do you know who you are?

(Shine) Niall and Liam sung

Step into the light (Shine)
So bright sometimes (Shine)
I'm not ever going back

Near the end of the song Harry took the mic off of its stand and walked up to Zayn and sang the last few lines directly to him. Zayn swallowed.

All the lights couldn't put out the dark
Running through my heart
Lights up and they know who you are
Know who you are
Do you know who you are?

Zayn rolled his eyes at Harry for what felt like the hundredth time tonight, but a smile was quick to take its place. Zayn smiled at him, it was beautiful truly. But... Zayn hadn't smiled in Harry's direction in years. But here Zayn was, standing proud right in front of Harry. Smiling, no sneering. Zayn was sneering.

"I don't think the time is up yet.." Everyone gave him a confused look. "He's right." Liam agreed looking down at his wrist watch.

"Looks like I'll be the one to sign us off." You could hear the sourness evidently in his tone.

Was he doing that to spite him? How immature. Harry got his answer seconds after his question though. "This is Flames." He simply stated into the mic he was holding.

Oh.

Oh.

God, why did Harry do that?  How could he possibly have forgotten Zayn's secret ace. Flames. Fucking Flames. The song that Zayn made in response to Lights up. The ace of the deck. Harry tried not to look worried even though he was dying inside. I'd only feed Zayn's massive ego. And Zayn didn't need that.

Zayn got up when his song started but before he started singing we went up to Louis, who was sitting down. Zayn went behind him and pulled him into his chest.

Zayn planted a small kiss onto Louis' shoulder blade. It was barely noticeable unless you were in the front row or in the pit. He was sure someone's camera caught it.

Most of the fans in the audience were cheering for the display of affection. Just as Harry got up in hopes of pulling his Lou away he was pulled back." I wouldn't suggest that" Niall whispered in his ear. He could hear it in Niall's voice that he wanted to laugh. Harry wanted nothing more than to punch Zayn in his gorgeous face, but Niall was right on this one. Of course.

Well, well

Zayn started

You better run from me
You better hit the road
You better up and leave
Don't get too close

'Cause I'm a rolling stone
And I keep rolling on
You better run from me
Before I take your soul

Now Harry could understand why Zayn was scowling so hard.

Light me up
Light me up
Light me up

You better run from me
You better say goodbye
And even if I plead
Don't waste your time

'Cause I'm a broken home
You're better off alone
You better run from me
Before I take your soul

The last few lines Zayn did exactly what Harry did to him except, Zayn got quite a bit closer than Harry did.

If I go, let me go
And don't you follow me, let me go

His face got closer. Only inches away from Harry's now. Harry would be lying if he said it wasn't a distraction. Why did Zayn have to be so goddamn infatuating?

I will let you down, let me go
Even if your heart can't take it
Light me up in flames
Light me up in-

"How many of you were fans of us before the break up?" Louis asked the audience. He was met with screams loud enough to shatter glass. He looked worried. But he masked it with a smile. Like he always had. Given that he had interrupted Zayn's song right, he was trying to stop something. The fight. He was trying to prevent the fight.

He went up to Zayn and threw his arm over his shoulder linking his hands at the front. "It's really nice to have this back right?" He asked and was met with screams again. Louis motioned Harry over before he leaned up, and whispered something in our ears. "We're at a concert. Let's try to be cordial, yeah?" He asked the two of them.

Zayn glanced at Harry and then back at Louis. As Louis was about to walk back to Liam and Niall Zayn grabbed him and held him at his side and around Louis lower waist. Louis sighed.

That was the moment when Harry snapped. He grabbed Louis by the rim of his shirt and pulled onto him, his head slamming against his chest. "Shit!" He whispered.

Zayn did the same thing only harder.

Then Harry pulled Louis back.
Then Zayn.
Then Harry.

Zayn pulled back and grabbed Louis by the back of the neck, pushing his lips onto Louis' in a smooth, quick motion.

Louis looked like he wanted to pull away. But a part of him didn't. He placed his hands on Zayn's chest pushing him ever so slightly.

Zayn grabbed Louis's wrist, thumbing them lightly, and Louis made a sound between a sigh and a groan then gave up all attempts on fighting Zayn.

Story's with song lyrics are always better in your head

And Happy New Years
