"Jesus Christ, Harry Edward Styles, wake the fuck up!"  Niall yelled. Harry's eyes darted open. 

"What's wrong?" he asked, feeling the drop in his chest like you got on a roller coaster, only significantly more terrifying. His head was pounding- probably from the drinks the other night, but Niall was sitting on the bed, literally on Harry's legs, grabbing his shoulders. 

"They fucking legalized it!" Niall shouted, beaming like the actual sun. 

Harry tried to sit up, pushing his friend's hands off him. 

"Wait, what?" Harry asked. 

Louis was half awake next to Harry, and he looked over in amusement at Niall straddling Harry. "What's happening?" he asked sleepily, his voice husky and his eyes squinting against the morning light. "They legalize weed or somethin'?" He blinked, trying to make his eyes adjust to the light. 

"What? No," Niall said, shooting Louis a quick what's-wrong-with-you glare. "Marriage," he said, his blue eyes glowing. "Equal marriage in America. Every last goddamn state." 

"Stop," Harry said, his green eyes flickering. "Are you being serious or-"

"I'm so effing serious right now, H," Niall said, shoving his phone in front of Harry. "Look. Look at what the literal President of America tweeted." 

Harry scrolled through Niall's phone, going through the LoveWins hashtag. 

Louis sat up beside him. "That's amazing," he said sleepily. 

It didn't even matter that they weren't even American, Harry was beaming like it was Christmas, his hands trembling a little as he reached for his phone. Louis peered over his shoulder as Harry sent out a tweet. 

Huge day for America.. Happy to see the news. All the love

"That's so sweet," Louis said, his cheeks hurt a little from smiling already. "I didn't even know you had a twitter." 

"I have like, ten followers," Harry laughed. "Feel free to be number eleven though." 

Louis rested his chin on Harry's shoulder, nuzzling into his neck a little. Lou was always a little more needy in the morning. He drew his fingers up and down Harry's arm slowly until Harry's breathing hitched a little. He kissed the younger boy gently on the cheek, and Harry reached for Louis' hand to thread their fingers together. 

Niall pretended not to see how intertwined the two of them were, turning his attention to his phone instead, just as Liam walked into the room, holding a cup of coffee, blanket still wrapped around his broad shoulders. 

"Good news for you, Liam!" Louis said, his eyes glimmering the moment Liam walked in. 

"Why's that?" Liam asked, sipping on his coffee and taking an advil with it. 

"Equal marriage in the states." 

"Oh wow! Oh wow, that's amazing! Congrats, mate," Liam said to Louis. "You too," he smiled at Harry. 

"I mean, it's especially good for you, because, well, you know," Louis smirked at Liam. 

"Actually, I don't know," Liam said. "I mean, I'm really excited for everyone else though." He looked genuinely confused. 

"Oh! Are you pan or bi or something?" Harry asked, looking up from Niall's phone. "I never really asked I don't think."

"I'm-" Liam started but Louis cut him off. 

"He made out with a male model once," Louis commented, stealing Liam's coffee from where he'd just set it down on the table and taking a dramatic sip. 

"Oh God," Liam said. "That's what you're on about. Go on, tell the story then," he said, rolling his eyes a little as his lips tugged up in a small smile. 

"Okay," Louis said, making little hand gestures as he spoke. "So we were at this thing, this party right? And I was just beyond ready to leave. There was literally only one decent looking guy there, and he'd wandered off early in the night. Anyway, I go looking for Payno, and he's on the floor underneath this actual flawless looking guy, who we find out later is a male model, and they're just going at it." 

Harry giggled, hiding his grin behind his shirt sleeves. 

Niall was laughing too, and Liam was just shaking his head, smiling a little at Louis' theatrics. 

"Anyway, Liam told me later that they were play fighting and then, what was his name-?" Louis asked. 

"Zayn," Liam replied. 

"Oh, right! Yeah, Zayn was just all 'come on then, come on' and then started kissing him. And Mr. I'm Straight over here was just having the time of his life." Louis continued. "I practically had to peel them off of each other." 

Harry looked over with raised eyebrows. 

"It was honestly just one little kiss," Liam said, shaking his head a little bit. "Tommo over here just has a flair for the dramatic." 

"Learning all sorts of things about my new roommate today," Niall said, smirking a little. 

"I'm making pancakes now," Liam said, ignoring everyone. "Who wants pancakes?" 

"God, Payno, everyone wants pancakes. Pancakes, Advil, and coffee," Louis said, pulling out his own phone which was stuffed full of texts from his close friends and family telling him about the equal marriage laws. 

Liam left for the kitchen, and Niall scurried after him, not wanting to third wheel with Louis and Harry. 

Louis tugged the neckline of Harry's shirt to the side a little so he could kiss his shoulders, his neck, and his jawline. 

"Good morning," Harry murmured, when Louis had pulled away to look at the green eyed boy. His voice was husky, and suddenly he started laughing a little. 

"What?" Louis asked, his eyebrows raised as Harry turned to a giggling mess beside him on the couch-bed. 

"You can even get married in Texas now, Lou," he finally managed to say between fits of giggles. "Who ever thought that day would come?" 

"I guess people finally learned what we've known forever," Lou smiled, tickling Harry's tummy a little to keep him giggling. "Love is love."  

A/N: Hope everyone enjoyed the little bonus chapter in celebration of yesterday! I added some Zayn and Ziam in this chapter from request- also that article about the Zayn/Liam kiss was so adorable, I wanted to fit it in somehow (like I said earlier, this is mostly just about the four of them though). Sorry if you don't like fluff chapters, I'll be back to the usual style by next chapter :) 

Anyway, next chapter should be up in a few days? How is everyone doing? :)
