33 ↣ after all this time

@untoldstory: ummm... everything seems really quiet and this is creeping me out

//////////////////////

"You — You what?" I breathed out, heavy and shaky.

"I want to come out," Niall repeats. "If – You know, if you want it. I think I'm ready and, the only way to really stop this whole theory stuff is to just tell everyone."

I blink at him, not believing my ears. Was I dreaming? Is it the medicine I'm drugged out on? "Where did this thought come from?"

Niall bites his lip and he sits down on the end of my bed. "I was just thinking and, like, I want to spend the rest of my life with you and I don't want to deal with always being compared to my best friend or being cropped out of pictures to make it look like you and Harry are together and I don't want the whole world to think that you're with someone else when we're together. I love you so much and I just want everybody to know."

I nod quickly, sitting up to wrap my arms around Niall and hide my face in his neck. He hugs me back immediately and I take the time to breathe him in, to finally get another whiff of his cologne and to feel his skin and just to remember what he feels like. We had only been away from each other for a little bit but it felt like an eternity.

"If you're sure you're ready, I'd love to come out."

We're sitting at a meeting table with our crew and the rest of the boys, including Zayn. Though it was last minute, we made sure that we'd get our meeting immediately.

Even though it was 2017, coming out was a big deal in the music industry. As we both had been in the closet for our whole career, with only hints at being queer, this would be a big deal and would probably be all over the press, so we had to plan it carefully.

Not that anybody cared, really, how we did it. Our management had been trying to get us to come out basically since we told everyone that we were together, but we always said no since we weren't ready.

Now we were sitting at a table, hand in hand, staring at our team, and I took the moment to look at my fiancé, down at our hands and the ring I was wearing, and just appreciate how far we had gotten. We went from being shy, insecure and hiding our feelings to this. Basically engaged, about to come out to the whole entire world as a couple.

And even though I knew we'd get gags in response, I leaned over and turned Niall's head with my free hand, pressing my lips to his and closing my eyes. He kissed me back and then we pulled away, smiling at each other cheesily.

Once our whole team was sitting down, one of them sighed. "So, what was so important that you needed to call us all here right now?"

Niall squeezes my hand and my heart begins to race. I open my mouth to say it, but nothing comes out. Niall speaks over me.

"We're ready to come out."

The room falls silent and my heart drops, thinking they were going to say no. But everybody bursts into a cheer, some crying, and we all move to a huge group hug.

We spend hours in that meeting room, probably the whole night. We stay until the late A.M's deciding on how to come out, Niall and I sharing kisses and making everybody groan in annoyance.

Finally, at 3AM, we were done. Everyone went their own way, Niall and I heading home to celebrate on our own.
