Tied Down (Larry Stylinson)

Chapter 2

Chapter 2 - Talking About The Rope

             Harry was a horrid actor. Everyone knew that, especially Louis. He teased his boyfriend endlessly about it, constantly bringing up the fact that even during the short X-Factor clips Harry would mess up his only line he had.

             That was the reason they decided to tell the other band mates. The three boys who the saw for almost twenty-four hours a day, at least six days a week. Harry had said if Louis didn't want to tell them he wouldn't, but Louis had kissed him and told him not to be stupid, of course they would tell the boys.

              It was about a month after they had started dating. It hadn't been a big deal, they hadn't called all of the boys for some secret meeting and then told them. It also hadn't been shy, they hadn't just walked into the studio holding hands and with engagement rings on. Nothing of either extremes.

             Harry remembered that it was before one of their video diaries. He didn't remember exactly what week it was, but he remembers walking into one of the back-stage rooms where all of the boys were already sitting.

              Louis and Liam were having some discussion about the football game last night, while Niall was just laying on the floor and practicing his vocals. Zayn was reading a magazine, everyone doing their own thing and barely even noticing Harry until he spoke.

             "So, you guys excited to film it? What is this, our fourth one?" Harry said, walking over and sitting close to Zayn, not breaking eye contact with Louis.

            "Sixth." Niall said, correcting him "But yeah, I'm excited. I call sitting on the middle step, since I don't want to be in the back again."

            "Me and Harry will sit in the front, okay guys?" Louis said, and everyone agreed, because even back then Louis was like their leader, everyone listening to anything he said.

               "I'll sit in the back, so Zayn can sit in the middle." Liam, shy, young, underage Liam offered, not wanting Zayn to have to be hidden. Zayn nodded, Niall giving him a high five and laughing.

              They were told that they had five minutes to finish getting ready, all thanking the security guy who had came in and told them, before contineuing what they were doing. They had opted out of styling or any make-up for their video diaries, since they didn't want to match or anything else that boy bands do.

             Though, they were a boy band. Whether they wore matching outfits or not (And they definitely would NOT), or had choreographed dances (Never.), or sang poppy love songs (Maybe only a few) They were a boy band.

             Boy bands were supposed to be wholesome and clean, something that the sixteen to nineteen year old boys did not want to be. They weren't going tog et tons of piercings and do drugs and go clubbing every night, they were going to be themselves, but sometimes they tried to keep the aspects of being wholesome-like honesty.

              "Harry and I are dating." Louis had blurted, and Harry's head snapped to face him with slight horror, and a lot of embarassment.

              "Wa-what?" Liam said, and Louis just noded, quickly striding across the room and intertwining his fingers with Harry's.

              "I asked Harry out. He said yes. He is my boyfriend. We're going to date each other. Got it?" Louis said, much like a bossy five-year old,but all of the boys just smiled, nodding and not making that big of a deal of it.

                Louis knew they were all worrying about the band's fate if two of their members dated, and he would reassure them that it wouldn't affect their band at all, but for now he was just relieved to be able to hold Harry's hand as they walked to the stairs.

               Sitting on the stairs, Harry purposefully leaned away from Louis, still embarassed and shy. Louis just wrapped one of the scarves he had taken from Harry's drawer around his eyes, knowing that if anyone saw how much his eyes glowed when he looked at Harry then they would be able to see his feelings.

                 The video started, Harry welcoming everyone to their video diary and Louis talking about how their last performance had been their best. The other boy's stayed mostly quiet at the beggining, still a little shocked and starled, but not as surprised as they should be.

              Zayn had agreed with Louis, and had started telling everyone about the song choice for this week. Louis had teased him a bit, before he peeked out the corner of his eye and saw Harry was blushing and staring intently at the camera, trying not to smile, and then Louis had to try hard not to blush or smile.

               Louis wanted to kiss him, he REALLY wanted to kiss him, but he knew he couldn't. He held out his hand, Harry and him sharing an awkward high-five, but it was enough to make both of them blush, Louis burying his head into the wall.

               To try and hide his feelings, Louis, the overly flamboyant boy he had been, made many, many jokes about the questions they were asked. He pretended to call the boys by wrong names, and flipping the paper around, and Niall was laughing insanely every time.

                At one point, Harry's mind was running wild with how much he wanted to kiss Louis. He even started leaning over, puckering his lips, but Louis flinched and Harry had pulled away quickly, biting his lip to hide the awkward blush that crept up his cheeks.

               After the video, the boys sat around and talked about Louis and Harry. They discussed the hard things, like what if people found out and if they should tell Simon, but the conversation stayed more on the positive side about how cute they were and how happy they were.

Talking about the rope with the boys had been one of the last easy things they had to do involving their relationship.
