One Day Maybe - Larry Stylinson Fanfiction

THE SHOW

A few minutes before the concert starts, Harry and his band are standing close to the stage, wishing each other luck. Mabel has already left the stage and the intro for Harry's show is playing. Harry walks a few steps away from his bandmates, bows his head and closes his eyes for a few seconds. He needs the concentration, even if he only does it for a few seconds. When they started with One Direction he always needed some time for himself. It usually calms him but not today. The fact that Louis is in the venue makes him proud but nervous at the same time. Today, Harry is going to sing the songs he wrote about Louis to him, all of them. Live.

Soon, the intro comes to an end and the music changes when the band walks on stage. It gets louder, indicating that the show is going to start. As usual, the fans cheer and scream and Harry feels excited to go out there and rock the show. He gives a thumb up to his band before the huge, round video wall is pulled up and everything is absolutely drowning in noise.

The show starts off well and "Only angel" turned out to be the perfect start for this tour since it's not too slow but also not too much of an up-tempo song. From the first second of the show, the crowd gives Harry chills. He loves watching people singing and dancing during his songs, most of all because it makes them happy (he can see it in their faces) and it makes him happy too. The cheers and screams are so loud that he can even hear them through his in-ears while performing. During the show, Harry can't stop thinking of Louis watching him. He wonders if he has he managed to get into the VIP section? Or is he still in the dressing room?

When Harry thanks everyone who's working on the show he decides to mention Louis – not his name of course but . . . Harry has an idea. "Before we continue with the show I want to stop for a few second and thank all the people who are involved." The crowd cheers. "There wouldn't be a show without you and . . . there are a lot of people you don't see . . . they are backstage!" Harry basically yells the word "backstage" to emphasize the meaning of it. He hopes that those who want to understand will understand what he means. But most important he wonders if Louis noticed. The crowd's cheering gets louder while Harry's last part of the sentence what makes him smirk. He smiles into the camera in front of him and winks, hoping that Louis will see it.

Harry gets very nervous before walking over to the B-stage this time. There he is going to perform two of the most important songs, two songs that carry so much meaning that it even hurts Harry to think about performing them: "Sweet Creature" and "If I could fly".

When Harry plays the first chords of "Sweet Creature", his gaze wanders up to the VIP section. He wants to know if he can spot Louis but it's difficult because of the lights and everything. After a few seconds Harry spots Louis' on the right side of the VIP area. He's leaning against the wall, holding something in his hand. Harry can't hide a smile into his direction as he finishes the song. It's very hard to spot Louis because it's quite dark around him but Harry knows the shape of his body, his hair, everything. It's him. Harry is happy that Louis made it and he sings his heart out to him. At the end of the song Harry smiles widely into Louis' direction and Louis shows Harry thumbs up what makes his heart flutter. He's so proud of him, he's so proud of being his.

Before Harry performs the next song, he looks up toward the VIP area. He bites his lip, trying not to smile. The song means so much to Harry and he can feel his voice tremble a little while he sings it. When it comes to Louis' part of "If I could fly", Harry pauses for a few seconds and asks the crowd to be silent. Louis' part (I've got scars, even though they can't always be seen and pain gets hard, but now you're here and I don't feel a thing) is so special because the words are literally true, very, very true and those few lines sum everything up, everything both of them are feeling. That's why Harry decided to change the way he sings this part. He has already done that during the other shows and he knows that the fans are speculating about the reasons. It makes him proud that his fans try to understand what's going on behind closed doors. It hurts him that he can't be honest with the people he performs for but at least, some of them know.

After the song has finished, the cheers and screams of the audience are remarkably louder. Harry has noticed that during his last two concerts and he thinks it's because the people believe the songs are about them. Harry has read different theories online and he's convinced they do it because of that. Also, he has read a lot of comments below the posts that prove they're clever people who make up their own mind than believing the bullshit that has been circulating in the media for years. Knowing that his fans are dedicated and enduring gives Harry strength and hope, as dramatically as it sounds – but it's true.

Harry has a wide smile on his face again when he thanks his fans, his hand clutched to his heart. They will never know how much it means to Harry that they don't stop believing in Louis and his relationship and also he's thankful for the ones who don't necessary believe in them but love the music. He's incredibly thankful and that's why he repeats that over and over again at every concert, every night. Harry looks up toward Louis and gives him the sweetest smile. He blows air kisses up and Louis does the same. Seeing Louis up there makes Harry's heart burst with pride and affection toward him. He gives him another cute smile and blows a kiss up – nevertheless everyone in that block could think the kiss was for them but Harry doesn't mind.

Since the first concert in Basel, Harry always wanted to sing those two songs directly to Louis. He wanted to sing them in front of the crowd, in front of everyone. The situation reminds him of 1DDay where he managed to sing "Little things" to Louis. After that, the fans talked about that incidence a lot and Harry was proud that he had made it. They didn't get an hour to host together back then although everyone in the band had the possibility to host with everyone (Zayn with Liam, Liam with Niall, Niall with Harry, Louis with Zayn, Harry with Liam...) but only Harry wasn't allowed to host with Louis because of their stupid management. Harry thought of what he could do. When he made the decision to sing "Little things" for Louis, he felt powerful. It was a revenge that gave him relief - even if it was only noticed by a small part of the fandom. Now that it has happened again, Harry is the happiest person in the world.

After stepping off the B-stage, Harry has kind of gotten more energy because of Louis watching him. At the end of "Kiwi", Harry spits the water as usual and runs off stage quickly.
