52 Birthdays With Lou

age: 30

When Harry turns thirty he spends the majority of the day on the phone with his hysterical mother, who can't grasp the idea that her baby is so old.

So after spend a few hours convincing his Mother that just because he is older, doesn't mean she is old, which is a boldface lie, Harry really doesn't have the energy to go to the last minute party Zayn has insisted on throwing at his bachelor's pad on the other side of London.

Nonetheless he puts on his game face and arrives to the almost empty apartment. Only four people stand in the flat, but his eyes immediately fall on one.

Louis stands sheepishly, cupcake cradled in his hands as he smiles shyly at Harry, for the first time in person in six years.

"Happy birthday Hazza," He whispers, and Harry doesn't mean to cry, but shit happens.

That year he wishes to keep Louis, for a lifetime, and this time around, his wish is granted.
