At least a hundred soldiers stood with their families and friends at the docks. Many tears were being shed, as people said goodbye to their heroes before they left them. Among the crowd, there was a lad named Harry Edward Styles. He was new to this soldier thing, and in fact, this was his first time being shipped.

Harry didn't really mind being a soldier. He didn't have much to live for. His family passed away when he was younger, and he only had one friend. Louis William Tomlinson. Harry loved Louis, more than there were stars in the sky and grains of sand on a beach. But he also knew that Louis would never return the feelings.

Being best friends with the Doncaster lad was hard. Harry saw Louis everyday and had to resist those bright blue eyes, those kissable lips, and that round ass. It was absolute torture. This whole soldier thing was a distraction, a very time-consuming way to keep his mind off of the Louis, and maybe even move on from him.

A loud voice came crackling over the speakers, "All soldiers report to your stations."

Louis, who had came to see Harry off, tensed up, tears threatening to form in his eyes. He didn't want to lose Harry. He didn't know what he would do without the clumsy dork with the bad jokes. At his last attempt to get Harry to stay, Louis wrapped his arms around Harry's torso.

"Harry, please don't go," Louis begged, the tears starting to form.

"Louis, you know I have to go," Harry replied, carefully removing himself from the smaller lad's death grip.

"No you don't. You can stay here," Louis said. 'With me' he added in his mind.

"I can't," Harry sighed, running his hand through his short hair, which he had recently gotten cut.

"Please, Harry, I will get down on my knees and b-"

"In such a public place? Lou I didn't know you were so kinky," Harry joked, trying to lighten up the mood.

"Shut up," Louis slightly giggled, but the joke caused his tears to finally spill over.

"Oh Lou, I'll be home before you know it," Harry reassured the smaller lad.

He wiped away Louis' tears before pulling Louis in for a hug. He was starting to cry as well, but he didn't want Louis to see how weak he was. He used his sleeve to wipe his own tears before pulling back and sadly smiling.

"I gotta go," Harry whispered, and Louis knew it too.

'Maybe this is the time to tell him. Maybe this will keep him safe, keep him from leaving.' Louis thought. Maybe revealing his crush would keep Harry from leaving.

"Wait Harry," Louis called out, grabbing onto Harry's sleeve and yanking him back.

"Yes?"

"I-I really like you, and I don't want you to leave me. I wouldn't be able to live without you, please don't go," Louis wailed, tears running down his face, and a blush forming on his cheeks.

Those words made Harry freeze, not thinking he heard right. But when everything processed in his brain, he felt overjoyed. Now he didn't want to go anywhere, he just wanted be in Louis' arms and stay there forever. But, sadly, he had made a commitment.
