"Harry?" Zayn sees him first, and gently pushes Liam away. 

"Run!" Louis whisper-yells to Niall, and the duo take off, leaving Harry to deal with the mess himself. 

"Hiiiiii." Harry waves awkwardly, and contemplates whether he should walk towards them or back away slowly...

"What are doing...?" Liam asks as Harry just stands there.

Not knowing what to say, Harry walks towards them. "Um, I came out to ask you... if you want to do a... 'fuck, marry, kill' video with us?" and honestly, Harry can't believe those words just came out of his mouth. Fuck, marry, kill? The game had never even crossed his mind prior to this. He was a very respectful person... but now he was stuck.

"Sure, okay." Zayn shrugs, and Liam nods. 

"Sorry for... interrupting."

"Oprah, Justin Bieber, and Kylie Jenner." Louis says calmly, though his insides are jumbled because of Ziam actually happening. Really, Louis hadn't expected it to actually take off... but now he can tell people he managed to make two people gay for each other. 

"Fuck Kylie," Niall answers, "Marry Justin... and sorry Oprah, but you're dead."

"I don't want to kill anyone!" Harry objects, his hands raised over his head. 

"Too bad." Louis smirks, curious as to what Harry will say. 

"Fuck... Oprah?" Harry states, but its more of a question.

"You would fuck Oprah?" Louis snorts. "Interesting."

"I- I don't know! Marry Justin, kill Kylie..." Harry frowns, "I feel like a murderer." 

"It's not like they're actually dying, dip wad." Zayn laughs, and then he and Liam answer. 

The game continues for about ten minutes, the boys each learning things about each other that they probably didn't need to know...

The night ends when each boy goes to his own room, leaving Harry and Louis to themselves. 

Harry sheds his clothing until he's only in his underwear, and makes his way into the bathroom, with Louis following him. They brush their teeth together, and Harry writes "H + L" on the mirror in toothpaste. 

When they finally slide into bed, Harry faces Louis and realizes something. "Lou, we've been together for eleven months exactly today..." 

"Holy shit." 

"I think it feels like longer." Harry scoots closer to Louis, wrapping his arms around the smaller boy.

"I love you," Louis kisses the tip of Harry's nose, then pokes his cheek. "and you're adorable."

It's too dark for Louis to see the blush on Harry's face, but it's surely there. After eleven months, Louis can still make him blush just from a few little gestures and kind words. 

"I love you, too." Harry replies, his eyes fluttering closed.

Louis pulls their chests together, and feels the slow rise and fall of Harry's against his own. He thinks that it's possibly the most perfect thing to fall asleep to.

"Nice to see you, Louis." Lauren greets the man, who just nods in reply. It's far too early in the morning for this, at seven. 

Harry stayed back this time, with the other three. They said they were going to go to an arcade or something of the sort. 

Louis makes himself a coffee, and wipes his eyes, which he's having trouble keeping open. He's never been a morning person, and that fact is becoming prominent this day. 

He chugs the coffee, and then pours another. When he presses his lips to the brim of the second, Mr. Ruben comes over and says, "Easy there, tiger!" 

Louis visibly rolls his eyes, taking a swig of the hot, caffeinated beverage. 

"You're going to be jumpy all day, if you continue like that." the director points out, and Louis shrugs. 

Mr. Ruben pats Louis' back, and Louis cringes at the contact. Then, the older man walks away, towards Lauren, it being obvious to him that Louis won't listen. 

He does stop after the second cup, however, because he's pulled away from the coffee machine and back into the audition room for another long day. 

Really, no one particularly stands out to Louis, until a girl with long blonde hair walks in...

"Oh my god." he whispers into his hand, staring at the girl with a mixture of confusion and awe.

"What is it?" Lauren asks, "Do you like her? Is she what you see for a certain part?"

"She looks like... Elaine!" Louis exclaims, but keeps his voice to a whisper so that the girl can't hear him. 

"Elaine?" 

"Long story." Louis sighs, then the girl is told to slate herself. 

"Sydney Kauffman." she says, and she even sounds slightly like Elaine. 

But, when she starts on her monologue, Louis can't deny she has talent. Lots of it, actually. She's definitely movie-worthy, but she looks so much like Elaine (er, Patricia?).. like they could be sisters. 

Louis wipes Elaine from his mind and focuses on Sydney, who's probably making it to call-backs. She's not shaking or mumbling and she can show emotion in her acting, which is much more than many of the prior auditionees. 

After she leaves, Louis says his input, which is that he likes her, and would like to see her back. Then, the auditions continue, just as tedious as before. 

"Break!" Lauren exclaims eventually, and Louis sighs of relief. 

He did remember money this time, thank goodness, because Harry isn't here to lend him any. 

He eats in peace; no rabid fangirls are knocking over people or chairs. 

Lauren comes and sits next to Louis after a few minutes. "So, you don't like Ruben, do you?"

"Not particularly." Louis replies. "Wait, was I not supposed to say that?" 

"I'm not really fond of him, either." Lauren whispers, then laughs afterwards. "But, I have the unfortunate position of being his assistant." she pauses. "I guess he's funny sometimes, but he's abnormally pushy... and his daughter-"

"Oh, I know." Louis stresses. "She tackled my boyfriend." 

"Oh my god, really? She's a bunch of work, that one." Lauren shakes her head, a smile on her face. 

Lauren is about to say something else when someone yells that break is over, and it's back to the little soundproof room.

When they're all set, the next person walks in and it just so happens to be a certain someone with green eyes and curly hair...
