One two three [Larry Stylinson]

Chapter 30 - Happily ever ...?

[Sorry for the long wait ... Here we go!
Are we rooting for them?]

"I love you, Lou."

Louis' heart stops but yet again, he's too worry that Harry may mean it in another way. "Okay, I love you too, Hazza."

Harry shakes his head. "Not like that, I'm... I'm in love with you." He continues remarkably collected as he searches for Louis eyes.

Louis is startled. He has not seen this coming, he was ready to say goodbye, his heart is racing, his head is spinning, he is not sure if he's not dreaming. He stays mute.

So Harry carries on with reserved emotions. "Lou,... I know you were supposed to have a relationship with Adrian, you chose him, and even if you haven't, you wouldn't settle down,..."

Where is Harry going with this? What?

"I'm not your type and I could never convince you to date,... I know at first you agreed to help us and I took advantage of it..." Harry cannot face Louis anymore at this point. "I feel your devotion towards me, you love me the best you can,... and I'm not trying to be ungrateful but,... you gave me so much,... I,... you gave me so much Louis, you even gave me yourself today,... I can't help but fall in love... deeper..." He sighs desperately and watches Louis intently.

"Harry, maybe we should postpone this talk,... we're both overwhelmed and the sex was intense - "

But Harry interrupts. "I know you'd reject me, but try to listen, please, Lou,... I need to get this out." His tears haven't dried once. "I feel guilty right now, but just towards you,... that I asked Chloe to marry me even though I knew you're the one I really want."

Louis starts to get the gist and lets himself hope again. He just really wishes Harry is serious about this, not just orgasm driven.
"Harry, before anything, just know that I return the feeling. But we gotta clear our head..."

"Please, call me baby again." Harry murmurs his plea.

"Baby,..."

Harry smiles at Louis through his tears.

"Come lie with me for a while?" Louis beckons him closer. "Stop crying and just let go, baby." Louis kisses his forehead, now that he's in Louis' arms.

They fall asleep. Both pretty exhausted by the most intense orgasms they ever experienced plus the emotions.

When Louis wakes another hour later with a grumbling stomach, he puts on a big T-shirt and some joggers and lets Harry sleep some more.

He heads to the kitchen and is immediately greeted by the other boys, Liam is cooking whatever, Niall chattering next to him and Zayn sipping his tea at the island.

"Groom to be still sleeping?" Niall asks.

"Yeah,..." Louis paces to Zayn for tea. "My head is exploding."

"Same, almost couldn't wake up!" Adds Niall.

As Louis takes his tea to the dinning table, Zayn eyes him and shouts: "You gotta be kidding me! You fucking did!" He stares at Louis accusingly, waiting for a response but his nose is flaring.

"I - " Louis tries, looking at the other two boys who turn their attention to him and Zayn now.

"Don't you even try to fucking deny it! I can see your limp! And the hickies!" Zayn points towards Louis, his voice is getting even louder and Zayn is never loud. "What were you even thinking? You've already done everything for him! You couldn't even keep your dignity intact? You fucking -"
