Ever since the band has gone on hiatus, the boys had promised each other that they will one day go on tour as a band. They haven't decided on a date but all they know is that it will happen.

As far as their solo careers go Liam has started his first world tour, Louis has finally released his first album, Niall has sold out his first big stadium tour, and Harry has begun his second world tour.

Currently, Harry is sitting backstage getting ready for the first show of his second tour. He would consider his solo career success, with fans still uncontrollably screaming with tears of joy spilling from their eyes as they watch their favourite artist walk on stage, and album skyrocketing to #1 on multiple charts.

He is grateful for what he has and where his fans got him. If it weren't for their fans and becoming a band, they wouldn't be where they are right now.

As the music starts, Harry takes one last deep breath before stepping foot onto the stage and showing off his bright famous smile. He walks over to his microphone stand and takes the mic in hand, " How's everyone doing tonight?" The fans scream even louder as if it was possible. "I'll take that as a 'great'" He signals with a thumbs up. Receives laughs from the audience.

A few songs have been sung and the fans have not stopped screaming. Harry smiles to himself as he looks up into the crowd and begins to say, " I hope everyone is enjoying the show, It's been a while since the first tour and It's great to be back. You guys know how much I love touring and singing for you guys, it's truly amazing at how dedicated you guys are. I love you all." Some fans near the front scream out a few 'we love you's'. " Anyone 'v got any questions? Any at all?" Harry asks through the microphone looking around searching, "You right over here with the bright pink shirt, what's your question?" The girl jumps up and freaks out for a few seconds before leaning forward for Harry to hear her, "Have hung out with Liam, Niall, and Louis recently?" Harry leans onto one leg, placing his hand on one hip, tilting his head as if thinking about the answer. " It's been a while since well all hung out, but I have met up with Niall a few times and visited Liam as well as Louis when their sons were born, yeah. Whos got another question?" The crowd screams as jumping girls raise their hands trying to get Harry's attention. Harry takes a few seconds to look into the crowd, he looks for someone until he finds a guy with a shirt he notices that has a shirt with the words 'Bromance or not, still, love them both' on it. He laughs to himself, "You sit in the very front over here." He points towards the guy, walking over to him on the stage and leaning down. "What is your question?" The guy reaches up and stands on his toes being slightly average height. "So, speaking for many fans out there, we've noticed that you and Louis haven't had that same strong bond that you used to have in the past years. Is the reason behind that because of all the Larry rumours?" For a split second, Harry becomes speechless, even though he's used to random questions, this one seems to hit him slightly harder as he hasn't thought about the whole Larry thing in years. He stands up and looks up into the audience as he responds, " You know, me and Louis have always been good mates, he still a great friend of ours and to me as well. We never stopped being friends. I guess over time, as we mature, we begin to change the way we act and I guess that's maybe what the fans see." The guy seems to take that as an answer and nods in agreement.

After the show ends Harry goes to his dressing room looks into the mirror, taking a long look at himself he begins to think about the question that one fan asked. It's been a while since he's had Larry brought up as a topic of conversation. He would be lying if he said he didn't miss what he and Louis had back in the early One Direction days. He knows that the reason they've slowly distanced themselves from each other isn't that fans were making up Larry rumours, it's because they were true, and their management did not allow it. He knows that fans have caught on to the whole management thing, and this slightly upset him. He wants fans to be happy, he'd do what he could to make sure his fans as a whole were happy. He loved it when they laughed and screamed and cried of joy because if they were happy, he was happy. However, thinking back to the old times always made him tear up. He didn't know if they were happy memory tear or sad ones. He misses the way things were, he felt more free, more himself, and after their contract had ended, he knew that the break would be useful for them to find themselves again and make their style of music.

Harry returns to his hotel 2 hours later and is so glad he can finally sleep since his next show until two days. He takes his shoes off and heads over to the cozy-looking king-sized bed in the room of his nice hotel suite. After taking a nice warm shower he heads over and throws himself onto the bed, if it wasn't chilly in his room he would've just fallen asleep right there and there, so he got under the warm blanket and duvet provided. Just as he's about to drift off into a well-deserved slumber, his phone rings, he groans and turns over to his side and puts a pillow over his head, the phone, however, continues to ring, he throws his pillow on his legs in frustration, he leans over towards the nightstand to reach for his phone, and looks at the flashing screen. His eyebrows furrow in confusion as to the phone displays "Liam" across the screen. He slides his finger across the screen and lifts the phone to his ear.

"Hello?" He answers with a tired voice.

"Hey mate what's up?" Liam says with a pretty energetic voice.

"What's up? Mate, it's past midnight, is it important? Or can it wait?"

"I'd say it's pretty important, so I wouldn't want to wait 'til tomorrow."

Harry sighs, "Alright, tell me what's up."

There's silence for a few seconds until Liam sighs. " Simon called, he wants you to be a guest judge along with Louis."

Harry stays silent for a bit.

"Harry? Still there?"

"Yeah, I just- why are you the one to tell me this and not himself?" He asks as he rubs his forehead with his free hand. " Look, can we just talk about this tomorrow? I'm tired and it's a lot to think about."

"Yeah that's alright mate, ill call you tomorrow and we can talk about it."

"Great, night Liam"

"G'night Haz" Liam responds and hangs up afterwards.

Harry would love to take upon the job of a guest judge any day for Simon, however, is he's being honest, he hasn't spoken to Louis' face to face in ages and that makes him nervous.

After a few minutes of laying down and looking up at the ceiling, he finally falls asleep with the thought of possibly meeting Louis.
