"Come on, Hazza, just kick it!" Louis laughed as Harry stared at the ball with a pout.

"No, I'll get hurt," Harry whined.

Louis rolled his eyes, chuckling, "How would you get hurt? You're just kicking it! Didn't you say you wanted me to teach you to play football?"

"Well, yeah.." Harry sighed before shyly admitting, "But it was just a excuse to see you again before we, you know, got together."

Louis smiled, shaking his head, "You didn't need an excuse then, I like you anyways. But come on, kick it!"

Harry huffed in annoyance but obeyed. He looked determined as he backed up, then ran towards the ball, only to miss it completely and fall backwards. Louis tried his hardest not to laugh when he saw Harry's face flush with embarrassment. He ran towards him, asking, "Are you alright, love?"

"No..." Harry pouted as Louis grabbed his hands, helping him to his feet. He looked at Louis with blushed cheeks, complaining, "See? I told you I suck. I can't even kick a ball!"

"It's fine, we don't need to bond over footie," Louis told him, pecking his cheek.

He smiled, "Good, I'll stick to staying in the bleachers, watching from where I can't get a bruised bum."

Louis laughed, wrapping his arms around Harry's neck, "Well, how about we just hang in your hotel room, eating some ice cream and watching cheesy movies?"

"See? This is why we're perfect for each other," Harry told him, kissing his lips softly.

Just like Louis suggested, the two lovebirds spent the day lying in his bed, eating chocolate and vanilla ice cream while watching cheesy movies such as 'Titanic'. Harry laid his head on Lou's chest while the latter wrapped his arms around him, occasionally kissing his curls.

Louis feels as though his life has been perfect lately. They've only dated for a week, but they're so close already. Of course not sexually, they just got together, and that seems a bit too far. They kiss occasionally and cuddle, but that's it. And to Louis, that's more than enough.

A knock on the door broke Louis out of his thoughts, and Harry groaned in annoyance. He sighed and lifted his head from Louis' chest, throwing the blanket off of him and stumbling to the door. Louis laughed at his clumsiness, making Harry playfully glare at him before opening the door after checking the peephole. Being famous can make you a bit cautious.

He opened the door with a smile, "Hi, Simon!"

"Harry, nice to see you, who's this?" The man, Simon Louis guessed, pointed at him with a confused look on his.

Harry smiled shyly, "That's Louis, my..boyfriend?"

"Oh!" Simon exclaimed in surprise, and Louis shifted uncomfortably under his gaze. He then said, "I didn't know you are gay."

"Sorry, is that a problem?" Harry asked in a worried tone as he fidgeted with his thumbs, a habit Louis had taken note of.

Simon, luckily, shook his head, "No, it's perfectly fine. I would just like to warn you that some people aren't gonna be as happy knowing their idol is gay."

"I don't care, I'm happy," Harry smiled at Louis lovingly, to which the older boy returned.

Simon nodded with a grin, "Well, it's nice to meet you L- hey, aren't you the captain of the Rovers football team?"

"Yeah, you watch?" He asked, getting up from the bed.

Simon nodded, "Of course! So, I'm guessing you met at the game, huh?"

"Oh, yeah! The second I heard his voice, I fell hard," Louis chuckled as Harry slightly blushed, causing Louis to smile at his adorable boyfriend.

Simon gave them a soft smile, "You guys are adorable, I'm glad Harry here finally found someone. All the time, during recording sessions, he'd just mope around and complain about being single."

Lou snickered at Harry who groaned, "Simon!"

"What? I'm just saying. I've always wondered why you never had girls in your hotel room, guess it makes sense now," He smirked, eyeing Louis.

Louis laughed as Harry just glared at him, "Stop laughing! It's not funny, I bet you were no better."

Louis stopped and sighed, "Fine, fine, I guess it's true..."

"Well, I just wanna warn you guys..having two celebrities dating is bad enough. You've seen how Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez plummeted. But having two heartthrob guys dating will definitely be more challenging," Simon said warily.

Harry nodded with a sigh, "We know, and we'll work it out."

"Yeah, I can see us being together for a long time," Louis was looking at Harry as he said that, feeling happy when Harry smiled at him.

Simon examined them for a moment before chuckling, "You two make me wanna throw up unicorns and rainbows."

A surprised laugh escaped Louis as Harry fell to the ground in hysterics. Simon just shrugged before walking out, saying, "Well you two have fun, at least I won't have to be worried about Harry getting a girl pregnant! Use protection and be careful."

Louis and Harry stopped laughing as they gaped at the retreating man. Their eyes met, and before you know it, they're both on the ground laughing like hyenas. Soon, their laughs died down and they simply gazed at one another with smiles on their face as they panted, trying to catch their breaths. Louis brought his hand to Harry's cheek, caressing it softly, "You know something? You're so beautiful."

"Thanks," Harry muttered with a smile. "And you're perfect."

Lou shook his head, softly kissing Harry's plump lips before sighing, "Not nearly as perfect as you."

Harry giggled before slapping his hand over his mouth, blushing fiercely. Louis raised an eyebrow in amusement, "Did you just giggle?"

He shook his head, "N-no..?"

"You're too cute!" Louis laughed, pecking his cheek.

Harry rolled his eyes before the room was silent. They stared into each others' eyes in content. Louis' hand found its way to Harry's and he linked their fingers before breaking the silence, saying, "You know, Simon is right, being together will be challenging..."

Harry's eyes saddened as a hurt expression crossed his face. He then asked, "You're not breaking up with me, a-are you?"

Louis frowned, pecking his nose and reassuring, "Of course not, I'd never do that! I just want you to know that no matter what happens, no matter how hard this gets, I'll always stick by you, and I hope we get through these challenges together."

"Promise?" Harry asked hesitantly.

Louis gave his hand a tight squeeze as he spoke, "Promise."
