freshman year of college

"lou." harry mumbles, his fingers circling around one of louis' ankles that were on his lap. louis hums.

"i have something for you." harry says, gesturing for louis to sit up. louis does as told, petting harry's hair back.

"so i got you an engagement ring. i love mine, s'gorgeous but i want you to have one too. i always thought i'd propose to my boyfriend but you beat me to it." harry says with a playful glare. louis is grinning at him, teeth sinking into his bottom lip.

"so i thought i'd get you a ring 'cause i wanted to." harry says with a blush. louis chuckles, holding out his hand.

"well put it on me styles." louis says with a grin. harry fumbles with his pockets before pulling out the ring. it was nothing too flashy, he knew louis wouldn't like it so it was a simple golden band with a small diamond on it and the date they got engaged engraved onto it in roman numerals.

"i figured when we get wedding bands we can just get them molded onto the engagement rings." harry says with a grin as he slips the ring onto louis' finger. louis grins, grasping harry's face in his hands and laying a sloppy, passionate kiss onto his mouth.

"i love you. this is so something you would do. few hours before we go see the script together again you propose to me." louis chuckles. harry grins.

"last time we saw them we were babies. baby boyfriends." harry chuckles and kisses louis. "we've upgraded to fiancé." louis says back and intertwined his and harry's fingers. harry grins against louis' mouth, letting go of louis' hands go wrap his arms around the man's waist and pull him onto his lap.

"love you so much." harry mumbles against louis' mouth. louis smiles, pressing a kiss to harry's forehead and getting up.

"i love you the most harry. come on, let's go get ready for the night."

at the concert louis can't pry himself a centimeter away from harry, harry's behind him, face pressed against his own or resting on his shoulder. most of the night they're singing the lyrics, swaying a bit and wrapped up in each other.

"you kissed me during this song last time. i was so happy because you never used to kiss me first." louis says to harry as they swayed to a slower song. harry grins, his cheeks pinking up. he couldn't believe he used to think louis didn't want to kiss him.

"i was so insecure. so dumb." harry says and licks his lips before pressing them against louis'. the angle is only a little awkward, he's still holding louis from behind but louis curves his body enough to kiss harry properly.

"i love you harry." he says over the music. harry grins, kissing louis one more time.

by the end of the night they're drunk off each other, hand in hand as they walked to the parking lot to find their car.

"we need to go to more concerts." harry mumbles tiredly against louis' head. he had his arm wrapped around louis' shoulders, his face pressed into his hair as louis supported most his weight.

"get off me you giant oaf." louis chuckles and forces harry to carry more of his own weight. harry grins lazily, unlocking the car right before louis snatched the keys out of his hand.

"you don't get to drive sleepy head." louis tuts as he wiggles a finger in front of harry's face. harry tried to bite it, missing the finger by a lot.

harry falls asleep on the way home, louis falls in love a little more.
