"i'll miss you"

"me too" louis whispered hiding his face in harry's chest, getting tears in his shirt;
not that harry minded considering he was getting tears in lou's hair.

"i hate doing this" was mumbled into the cotton covering harry's torso.

harry let out a shaky sigh, trying to be strong; because really he hated this, too.

seeing louis look so broken, so small. harry pictured louis crying himself to sleep alone in their big bed but immediately shook the image out of his mind.

"just keep the pictures with you at all times" harry reminded, kissing louis' forehead before adding, "and think of that day."

louis nodded and stepped back giving a weak smile, harry started combing louis' fringe back; that's just what they did on the days harry had to leave.

they spent the day hugging, crying and touching each other every chance they got.

"distract yourself; work extra hours, stay over zayn's for a month. don't think too much about me."

"i promise."

they both knew that was a lie.

harry noticed his boyfriend trying to block the new set of tears that were on the verge of spilling so he suddenly pulled out his phone.

"smile!"

louis rolled his eyes and mumbled, "i've been crying for the past 24 hours, h. i probably look like shit."

harry gave louis a goofy, dramatic once over, looking from his messy hair to his tiny feet, "you look pretty good from where i'm standing." he added a wink and louis just had to give a small laugh at his love's corniness.

"see! that's better."

louis smiled, it didn't quite reach his eyes but harry thought he looked beautiful.

"now say cheese!"

louis stood for the picture, continuing to smile but instead of 'cheese' he said quietly, "i love you."

harry stayed silent. the way louis said it so softly and sincere made his heart race.

he snapped the picture and once again pulled lou close.

"i'll look at this one when i want to remember how you feel in my arms, i love you too."

they kissed one more time, long and slow. tears slipping between their lips, but they didn't let that stop them. this was the last kiss, and they both loved it because this is the kiss that would remain on their mouths for the following 4 months.

louis hated saying bye, harry knew that of course so they departed instead with the most sincere thing they knew.

"i love you."

"i love you."
