*5:30 am, Louis' alarm goes off*

The sweet sound of Marimba rang through Louis' ears, although, he'd been awake for two hours. The stress had suddenly hit Louis like a train coming off the tracks and he'd realised how upset Harry was about everything. A deep, sleepy voice was heard.

"Lou.."

"Yeah?"

"Turn that shit off" Harry said, jokingly.

"What's wrong with Marimba hey? HEY?!" Louis said as he turned the volume of his alarm up louder.

"Turn it off or else".

"Or else what? What you gonna do?" Louis loved joking with Harry.

"I warned you Louis". Before Louis could even open his lips to answer, Harry had tackled him, pinned him down on the bed jaws tickling him from head to toe.

"Harry, stopppppppppppp!" Louis screamed through the laughter.

A few seconds later, Harry snapped out of it.

"I better text Paul". Harry turned over and turned his phone on. A few messages came through at once.

1st message:

From: Paul. - Hey Bud, remember that I'm picking you guys up at 6:30 am tomorrow, need to be awake early for the Nick Dryer interview.

2nd message:

From: Orange - Your bill is now available..

Harry put his phone back onto his bedside locker. Throwing the sheets off his body, he said

"We've got an hour until Paul picks us up. I'm gonna go for a shower".

Louis stared at Harry's body. His perfectly toned body.

"Ok love, don't be long, please".

6:30am arrived, and so did Paul. Niall could tell there was something wrong with Louis, he didnt look fresh and happy like he usually did. He kept drifting off, being as he'd been awake since 3:30am.

This interview was a drag, same old 'if you could have one superpower, what would it be?' question. But in a way it was different. Quite different infact.

The 'Nick Dryer' show was very popular, millions of people would watch it on tv. Because the boys were on, it was being live streamed across the world, billions of people were watching it, live. Anything that was said would be showed. It's not like that would matter really, what came next was the most important thing.

"So, how do you cope?" Nick Dryer asked the boys. Niall assumed he was on about fame.

"We love it, we love our job and we love-" Niall got interrupted.

"Louis, Harry, how do you cope?"

It clicked. The boys knew what Nick was on about. Harry got nervous, his palms became sweaty and he couldn't sit still for longer than a few seconds. Biting his knuckle, he left louis to do the talking.

"We're not quite sure what you're on about, Nick" Louis replied.

"Who are you trying to fool kid? How do you cope with being in a gay relationship?"

Louis shook his head, he knew the interview just had a turn for the worst. Trying to help, Liam spoke.

"Neither Harry, nor Louis are gay. Louis has a fantastic girlfriend, Eleanor. We're all very supportive of them".

"Liam, has anyone ever told you, you're a bad liar?" Nick added.

"Me and Harry are just good friends". Louis said.

Zayn and Niall exchanged glances.

"I think that's enough yeah? Lets go boys". Paul stepped in to help.

That night, talk was high on twitter about the boys. Louis and Harry were both told not to go on twitter or any social media site. Instead, they sat down to watch Mamma Mia. Pizza was in the oven and Harry had completely forgotten about the interview earlier that day. Louis was doing his best to keep Harry's mind occupied. He grabbed Harry's hand and turned up the tv.

"Dance with me". Harry's jumped from the sofa. They danced away to Dancing Queen, one of Harry's favourites. A few seconds later, sometime sprinted to Harry's mind.

"The pizza Lou! We forgot the pizza!" He dashed into the kitchen. Louis' phone buzzed in his pocket.

*1 new message!*:

From: Steve (Head Of Modest! Management).

"Louis, as a result of the Nick Dryer interview, we have arranged a last minute flight for Miss Eleanor Calder. She's currently in a taxi on the way to the Airport and is catching the next flight to London. Tomorrow you two will be going shopping, we'll give you £1000 each to spend throughout the day. Katie (Eleanor's co-boss) will be spending the day around you. Pick Eleanor up at 9:00 am from The Head Office - Steve."

Louis heard the sound of footsteps running back towards the living room. He locked his phone and shoved it into his back pocket. Harry entered the room and the smell of burnt foot his Louis' nose.

"Louis, the pizza burned". He put on a sad pouting face and fluttered his eyelids to Louis.

"Aw no, come here babe". The two wrapped their arms around eachother, and drifted off to sleep on the sofa in each others company.
