Larry Stylinson One Shots

Lay Me Down Tonight (date # 6)

AN//  WOW, okay, hi. Four months. It's been four months since I've updated. I feel so bad. Like, no amount of SORRYs in the world could ever cover me being gone for four freaking months. I hope me posting a few more things will help make up for my absence. 

I wrote a small one-shot series of different dates that Harry and Louis go on, a while ago, and I promised myself that I wouldn't continue the series but I did. This is the sixth part (and sixth date) in the series, set around/on their sixth month anniversary. I will most likely move this so it's right after the other five parts soon, but I wanted to post this at the end first so people wouldn't get confused as to what I was posting.

Okay, sorry for the novel-lone AN. I hope you guys enjoy this. :)

"So Niall's official now? Like, name and picture and all that on the CD case and performing at all the concerts?"

"Mhm," Louis answers excitedly, bouncing a little in the sofa seat next to Harry. He's cute as ever, like always, and Harry smiles a little because of that. "Niall and Liam both agreed to it, I, of course, did too, and so Simon couldn't really say no!"

Harry smiles even wider. He's proud of Liam and Louis, and now Niall too, for making it this far so successfully. And he's very happy that Simon freaking Cowell likes them enough to mentor them through and help fund Liam's first, and amazing, album. Liam's played in more bars, as well as at birthday parties, weddings, even opening for a small London-local band, and his fanbase has steadily been rising, enough buy his only two songs on iTunes and enough notice no name for the guitarist and demand more.

It's all a bit crazy, how fast this has happened, considering it's only been a little over six months since Harry and Louis' second date, the same time and place Simon had "discovered" Liam and Louis—Niall too, albeit not knowingly.

Harry scoots a little closer to Louis; they were already sitting close, what with how small the sofa is, but now they're even closer and Harry can feel the warmth and excitement radiating from Louis' body, and he couldn't be happier.

But, then a thought occurred to him. "And Simon wasn't against the idea even though Liam and Niall are together?"

Louis scrunches his eyebrows together for a moment, seeming to think about what Harry just asked. Finally, after resting a hand on Harry's thigh and effectively making Harry squirm a little, he answers, "If Simon had a problem with it he didn't say anything, and if he would've, I would've punched him throat. Niall and Liam are forever. Like, Perrie and Zayn forever. Nobody needs to worry about them breaking up and ruining their duo act."

Nodding in agreement, Harry places his hand over Louis' on his thigh, lacing their fingers together. He presses his knee to Louis', and says, "That's true." Then, with a big smile and throwing his arm over Louis' shoulders to hug him close, "I'm happy for you guys though."

"Hey, I was holding that hand," Louis complains, glaring at the hand that was just in his own, and in now resting on his shoulder.

Harry rolls his eyes; he's used to Louis complaining about ridiculous things like that. "And I wanted to hug you," he counters, bringing his other hand over to thread through Louis' again. He thinks it's also a bit crazy, how fast time seems to have gone by. Their six month is just a few days away.

Louis, gratefully, squeezes Harry's hand, but then turns himself completely, throwing a knee over Harry's thighs and settling his arse over them. Harry blinks, confused for a second, before his brain kicks in and his fingers instinctively curl around Louis's hips. Louis seems to like that, and he pecks Harry on the nose quickly before settling back on Harry's thighs, hands on Harry's shoulders, and he murmurs, "Thanks, by the way." When Harry raises an eyebrow, Louis elaborates, "You know I love when you compliment us."
