If Hearts Can Lie (Larry Stylinson)

4

'Good. I just wanted to check in.'

'Okay well I'm fine.' Its so fucking awkward but I'm not even trying to make it awkward.

'Okay I'll talk to you soon, Lou. I love you. Bye.'

'Love you too. Bye'

"So?" Harry says wiggling his eyebrows, "what happened?"

"Nothing. She was just checking in."

"Louis, you'll be fine. This will all be over soon and you can see her again." He says.

"I hope so. Thanks Harry." I say with a smile.

*Louis POV*

Throughout the day my awkward conversation with Eleanor was constantly on my mind. We had to do some promotion for the new album since it was coming out in a few weeks. Harry and I were picked up as the paparazzi surrounded us asking us questions about Larry Stylinson and how we convinced modest! to let us come out.

I grabbed Harrys hand as we rushed to get into the black van so we wouldn't be late for the interviews. I pulled him into the van and he ended up straddling my lap which made us both blush fiercely. Luckily the door was closed by our handlers as soon as we were in the car.

"Let's be that annoying couple who shoves their relationship in people's faces and post another Instagram photo." I said.

"Sure okay, let me just get my phone."

"No, I got mine."

I held my phone up and kissed Harry's cheek as he looked down and blushed at his lap from the contact. It came out well and I posted it on Instagram after I tagged harry, with the caption of 'going to promo with my lovely boyfriend who makes it all tolerable'. Immediately the comments section was filled with Larry comments of how much they ship us and how we make a great couple.

For the rest of the time in the car, Harry and I took some weird, cute, and normal selfies. There was one where he scrunched his face and I knew that if this went online fans would freak out about how adorable he looked. I kept scrolling through all the selfies we took until we got to the building we would be doing out interviews in. As Harry and I exited the van, tons of girl's start screaming and the paparazzi start yelling more questions at us.

Harry stopped for a few minutes to take a few photos with some fans as I did the same. I looked at my phone as our handlers start pushing us inside because we were going to be late. I grabbed Harry's hand and led him to the door, opening it for him, causing all of the fans to scream at the gesture.

When we entered I immediately dropped Harrys hand and we walked to the elevators to get to the floor we need to be at. When we got to where we needed Lou rushed us so she could do what she needed.

By the time we were done we were around 15 minutes behind schedule. We sat down on the couch in-between Liam and Niall, whilst Zayn was on Niall's other side. The interview started and they started with the normal questions like 'what's your favourite thing about touring' or 'what do you miss the most about being home'.

"Now the fans wanted me to ask about Larry Stylinson," the interviewer said, "So how long have you been dating?"

"Well," I grabbed Harry's hand and intertwined our fingers, "We have been dating for a few months now but we just convinced Modest!Management to let us out of the closet. We had a meeting with them recently and then they said that we could come out. We want to be honest with our fans so we felt it was the right decisions because we don't like having secrets." I explained.

"Now who asked who out?"

"I asked Harry out."

"Who tops?"

"They kind of share that really." Niall answered that question.

"That's going to be cut out." Liam chuckled.

As the rest of the interviews throughout the day, the whole conversation with Eleanor was just resting in the back of my head questioning why the phone call was so awkward. She sounded as if calling me was something forced and all my answers felt forced as well.

We get along so well and I don't see why that conversation was so awkward. Finally, the interviews were all over and we could go home. Harry and I got back in the van and went back to our flat. As we entered I went straight to me room and flopped down on my bed exhausted from all the interviews and my own thinking as well.

As soon as I hit the bed I fell asleep thinking about Eleanor and had a dream of us and a future together.

I woke up to the smell of what I think was chicken. I exited my room and walked down the hall to see Harry being all cute and domestic, cooking us a dinner of chicken and mash. (No its not THE meal)

"How was your nap Lou?" He asked when he saw me enter the kitchen.

"It was nice. Really needed a rest from all the interviews." I grabbed a water bottle from the fridge because Harry said that soda is unhealthy so he doesn't want it in our house.

"Dinner should be ready in 10-15 minutes and then I'll bring it to the couch."

"Okay. What do you want me to put on?"

"Anything is fine."

"Okay." I said as I walked over to the couch and turned on the TV to the radio stations trying to find some good music.

The first station I turned on was a pop station that was playing our single Live While We're Young. I laughed at the irony and left the station on as I went on my phone to check twitter to see what was happening in the world. My timeline was filled with pictures of Harry and I sitting next to each other earlier and then captioned 'Next to you has finally happened'.

Harry entered the room with two plates of dinner and handed me one as he sat down.

"Hey Haz, do you know what next to you means?" I asked him.

"Its from when I asked where you wanted to sit and modest said that we couldn't sit together."

"Oh. so that's why the fans are captioning the pictures with that."

"Yea."

Harry and I ate our dinner in a comfortable silence as the music played softly in the background. When we finished our dinner, I took the dishes, rinsed them and put them in the dishwasher. I went back to the couch to find Harry asleep.

I picked him up bridal style, carefully trying not to wake him up, and took him to his room, laying him down and tucking him in.

I watched for a moment whilst he slept and just looked at all his features at peace. I went back out, making sure everything was clean the the TV turned off, and then went to my room. I went on wattpad and looked up fanfics about Eleanor and I. I fell asleep in the middle of reading one about is in the future with kids and a home wishing that it will happen in real life as well.
