Photograph (Larry Stylinson AU) ~COMPLETED~

Loving Can Hide

The next day, we got up and dressed. Interviews in the morning are my favourite.. Louis and I drove to the building together, but we decided that we were going to act as if we were friends. Just friends. No matter how much it hurt, we were going to do it. Louis and I make our way into the studio, smiling when we see the other boys. We chat for a bit then watch as the interviewer starts to introduce us to the audience. I reach over and give Louis' hand a little squeeze, smiling up at him. "Have fun." I whisper to him, reciving a grin from him in return. That's my Lou.

"Please welcome, One Direction! Boys, have a seat." The lady, Karen says. She has dark brown, obviously dyed, hair, her eyes have too much makeup on them, and she's overdosed on bronzer. We all sit uncomfortably, her smile a little harsh to look at. "So boys, how are you all doing?"

"I think we're all pretty good, thanks." Liam answers, looking at us all, eyeing Louis and I though. Karen sees the glances and leans in, slightly closer to us.

"How are the girlfriends doing?" She asks, a sly tone to her voice. I get a funny feeling in the pit of my stomach.. This isn't going to help.

"Very good, Perrie and I have just gotten engaged actually. Last Thursday." Zayn says with a proud smile. Everyone has been really excited about the wedding, even though it won't be for another year or two. Lou really wants to be the best man. Karen's face lights up even more and I try my best not to look away. I glance over at Louis and already see him looking at me. I flash him a tiny smile and he smiles back then nudges Zayn with a chuckle.

"Congrats! How about you, Louis?" Karen asks. I lean over a little and look at Louis, seeing him glance at my shoes instead of my face. "Well?" He clears his throat before speaking.

"She's good."

No one moves. I clear my throat to break the silence then Karen laughs obnoxiously. Ugh.

"Alrighty then! We'll be right back after the break to talk about the up coming album!"

***

Every interview has been the same. People ask about our love lives, Louis talking about Eleanor and me telling people I'm single. It hurts like hell. But I'm doing this for Louis and he's doing the same for me. We're doing it for us. Every day after work, we go home and curl up together. We talk about our day and pointless things. We just enjoy each others company really. To me, he's my boyfriend. I feel like we're a cute old married couple except we make out and have sex waaay too often. I'm not sorry.

Louis is out with Eleanor again. He said he would come over to my flat when he was done hanging out with her. He doesn't like using the words, 'going out'. I hate when he's out with her.. It makes me feel worthless. Why can't I go out with him anywhere? Oh okay, becasue I'm gay and you don't want every single one of my fans to turn on me. Sure, of course I understand.

I hear a knock on the door and instantly get up to answer it. When I open the door, I see my gorgeous boyfriend standing there with the cutest little smile on his face. I pull him into my arms and close the door, pressing my lips to his in a sweet, soft kiss. I love how we don't have to say anything, we just look at each other and that's all it takes for us to know what we each want. I pull away after a minute and lean my forehead against his, looking down into his beautiful pale blue eyes.

"Hi, baby." I murmur, his cheeks turning the slightest bit pink.

"Hi, babe. We're going out tonight." Louis says. I freeze in my spot, just staring at him. He laughs and moves back a bit to look at me.

"I swear, if this is a prank."

"It's not, Harry! I promise. I'm taking you out. We're going to go for a walk."
