“Lou, do you want to go out tonight?” Harry asked as he walked into their bedroom. The two of them hadn’t been able to properly spend time together in a few months. They had just finished the North American leg of the tour and finally had some time off. Harry missed spending time with his boyfriend.
“I’d love to, Haz…” Louis started, “But I have to go out with Eleanor tonight.”
“Oh, of course, yeah” Harry said, defeated.
Here’s the thing about Louis and Harry’s relationship, they haven’t gone public yet. Sure, the lads and their families know, and management found out, but they haven’t come out to the fans, yet. There have been plenty of times where they wanted to, but every time management shot them down. See, management thinks that having two openly gay members of the band that are dating each other would be bad for their image. That’s where Eleanor comes in. She was hired to be Louis’ “girlfriend” so that no one would suspect anything. It was okay at first, but you would think that after three years they would start to back off a little bit.
“I’m sorry, baby.” Louis walked over to Harry to kiss him on the forehead. “I wish I could, but management called this morning and they need some publicity shots of me and El. I promise we will have a date soon though, okay?”
“Yeah, okay. Have fun with El.” Harry sighed.
“I’ll be thinking of you the whole time, babycakes.” Louis said as he kissed him on the cheek. “I’ll be home tonight!”
It went on that way for a few weeks. Louis would go out with Eleanor and Harry hardly got to see his boyfriend. Harry didn’t hate Eleanor, he just wasn’t her biggest fan. She was tall and pretty, with long brown hair and the body of a model. Anyone would be jealous of her, including Harry. He was jealous that she got to spend time out in public with his boyfriend while he was stuck at home. He was upset that she got to hold Louis’ hand while they walked down the street but Harry wasn’t allowed to do that. Part of Harry was always a little worried. See, Harry knew he liked men and only men, but Louis had always had girlfriends. Harry is the first guy that Louis has ever been with. Part of Harry has always been worried that Louis will realize he doesn’t actually like men and will fall in love with Eleanor. The lads have always tried to talk him out of it when Harry starts to think like that, but he can’t help but worry. Harry just wanted his boyfriend back.

About a week later, Harry woke up to the smell of bacon drifting in to the bedroom. He got out of bed and walked down the hall to the kitchen to find Louis standing over the stove.
