Harry: You were just walking down from the upstairs of your house when the front door opened and Harry walked in shoulders slumped. “You okay baby?… ” Harry just shook his head but kept his back to you as he took off his scarf and shoes. You walked behind him and helped him take his coat off. “… Do you want to talk about it?” He shook his head and a moment later a sniffle left his nose and his hands covered his face. You wrapped your arms around his waist from behind and hugged him into you, stroking his sides. Without warning he turned in your arms and held you tightly to him, his face hiding in your neck. You could feel his tears hitting your shoulder but you knew he just needed to cry, to get out whatever was plaguing him inside. You stood there in the door way and held him as he let everything out. You held him for nearly twenty minutes before he pulled back from you, his face was red, eyes were bloodshot and his hair was matted and sticking to his clammy forehead. You watched him as he wiped at his eyes with his fingers and brushed the back of his hand over his runny nose. “I’m so sorry (Y/N).” He said not being able to make eye contact with you. “You know I’m here for you, always… ” You just stood there with him and waited a little longer for him to calm down. “… Do you want to tell me what happened?” He took a shuddering breath, “I just couldn’t take it anymore. The paparazzi were saying some horrible things and I tried to ignore it I really did, but I just couldn’t.” A few stray tears fell over his left lid, you lifted your finger and wiped them away. “Do you want to tell me what they were saying?” He held you tighter, “They were saying I was a man whore and that I was cheating on you. But baby you know I would never do that.” You stroked his cheek. “Of course I know that.” His kissed your forehead, “They said I’m selfish and I don’t think of the fans and that I can’t sing and the only reason we’re famous is the way we look.” You pushed your lips against his, “You are far from selfish, the fans adore you and they realise you boys are busy and that you need to spend time with your family and friends… ” You cracked a smile. “… And let’s be honest the only reason people buy your music is so they can look at the singers and not listen to the songsthemselves.” At that Harry let out a little laugh. “Very true baby… ” He untangled himself from you and grabbed a tissue and wiped his tears and blew his nose. “… Do you mind if we just order in dinner and watch TV tonight?” You shook your head and kissed his lips chastely and headed into the kitchen to grab the take out menus. “Of course not baby.”
Liam: “Look at this.” Liam pushed the screen of his phone to your face. There was a picture of his mum, dad and his two sisters taking a lovely family photo on their family holiday, a holiday Liam was unable to attend due to work commitments. The message that accompanied the picture read ‘We miss you, wish you were here. Love you so much.’ You looked to his devastated face. “I miss them so much. Is it a crime that I want to just spend time with my family?” You enveloped Liam in your arms. “I know you miss them. But it just makes the time that you do have with them all the more special.” He clutched your shirt in his hand as he sobbed into the crook of your neck. “I miss them.” Liam whimpered. “Where are they anyway?” Liam lifted his face up.”By the ocean in Plymouth.” You stroked his neck. “Can you take the next few days off? And then we can go and see them.” He just shook his head. “No, they won’t let me. I’ve already asked.” You kissed his forehead. “How about you just sit down and I will go and run you a bath.” He walked over to the couch and sat down his hands covering his face. You grabbed your phone out of your pocket and quickly rang Paul as you headed to the bathroom. “Hey Paul, just a quick question. Is there any chance at all that I can get Liam out of work for the next three days?” You could hear some shuffling of papers on his end. “If you can get him to come back tonight he can finish off what he needs to do then he can have the next three days off but that’s the best that I can do.” You were ecstatic with the news. “Thank you so much Paul, I’ll let Liam know.” You rushed back to a defeated looking Liam. “Liam, I just spoke to Paul and we can go and see your family for a few days.” Liam jumped up at you and held you tightly. “Are you serious?” he pulled back from you slightly. “I’m very serious. But you need to go back to the studio tonight and finish off a few things and then we can go bright and early tomorrow morning.” Liam began peppering your face with little kisses. “Thank you so much this is incredible.” With that he rushed to the front door put his shoes on and jacket and rushed out the door. You just laughed at the spark of happiness you managed to cause him. With that you rose of your feet and headed to your shared bedroom and started to pack for the both of you, knowing he needed to see his family just to tide him over.
