*Flashback*
When two teenagers get together they think they'll be together forever, until death tears them apart. Until that final last breath.
Them against everyone.
When love isn't enough the same teenagers break up and that's not because they didn't make an effort. That's because leading a life style that involves hiding your sexuality, pretending to be someone else but mostly ignoring the person you love the most in public places because people might assume is just hell. And although love is there, everyone around Harry and Louis can feel it, is not enough. Louis always thought he would marry Harry, have kids with him, do all those boring stuff adults do. He always thought that doing any of those chores - paying the taxes, doing the dishes, going to the bank - with the person you love, with your soul mates, would make everything less boring and monotonous.
Now, almost five months later, he changes his mind. He loves his boy, but he would rather make things easy for him than complicate his life. Louis sees how Harry gets sad every time he has to pose with Eleanor, or everything Modest yells at them for acting like a couple. He hopes Harry is happy once they break up. He hopes his heart will heal, because out of all the things Louis is capable of, stopping loving Harry isn't one of them.
One Monday morning while outside is pouring and they're sat on their couch, in their flat, Louis decides the time has come.
He stands up and after taking a deep breath says the famous four words.
We need to break up.
Harry stops sipping his coffee and turns his head to look at him, shocked.
"You promised you would never leave me, you promised me things, you promised, you fucking-"
Harry starts crying he isn't able to talk anymore. Tears are falling down marking his soft face. The same face Louis had kissed so many times before. The same face he wants to kiss right now.
"Harry what I promised you was that I would love you forever, but everyone leaves eventually. People never keep their promises, you should learn."
Louis speaks again, trying to control his tears. He doesn't want to look weak, he is the one breaking Harry's heart. He is the asshole of the situation, not Harry.
Harry surprisingly walks towards Louis, takes a deep breath and says the words that will haunt Louis for the rest of his life. Maybe.
Pick someone who's supportive.
Harry is so supportive of him that he doesn't care of the pain he will feel afterwards, he just cares about Louis.
"I've been taught that if you love someone you should respect his choices. I know for certain that someone wants to leave you should hold the door open for them. If you want me to leave Lou, I will. Staying is pointless, thank you for the good times."
Harry has always been the strong one in their relationship. Even when Louis got called fag by those fans, Harry was the one who stopped him from punching them. Harry was the one to speak up during those meetings with Modest. Harry always was his rock.
Louis wondered how he could stop loving someone like Harry. How is that possible? The pain is blinding Harry for not seeing through Louis.
"I'm sorry Hazza, I just don't know how to handle all this pressure. I'm so sorry, it's not that i don't l-"
Louis tries to say, but all the words are stuck in his throat. He tries to get them out, but he can't.
