It had been two and a half weeks since Harry and Louis returned home from their road trip to see their families.
They had both been unusually busy the last few weeks, and had only spent time together in the form of eating or sleeping. Louis had picked up extra hours, helping Georgia make floral arrangements for a thirty person wedding party, to make up for the days he'd missed the week before.
Harry had worked his normal shifts at the coffee shop, and had a few meetings with Ed to finalize the photos for his album promo and lyric booklet. Ed had also commissioned Harry to design his album cover, and Harry had finished it a week ago. Ed had set up his website and found a few music stores willing to sell his record, so he ordered a couple thousand copies of the album covers and lyric books to fill CD's with. The prints had arrived last night, and Niall and Ed had stayed up until 3:00 a.m. inserting the cover art and lyric booklets into CD cases and drinking beer in Ed's garage. They spent the entire day dropping off box after box of CD's to the stores that would carry them.
Ed and Niall had made the album almost entirely themselves, with Sarah playing fiddle or piano and Niall's friend Ashton playing drums in the background tracks. Niall had stayed up with Ed for many all nighters to get his album put together, but it was finally done after months of hard work, and the album listening party was tonight.
Harry and Louis met outside after work like usual, and made their way to Harry's flat. They had slept there last night, and Louis had already brought an outfit for the party so he could change at Harry's after work. The weather was wonderful, sunny with a warm breeze, as the boys made their way back to Harry's flat. When they stepped inside the flat, Harry went right to his room, pulling his boyfriend behind him and stripping off their work clothes before falling onto the bed together. They laid together in only their boxers, on top of the covers, as the ceiling fan cooled off their bare skin.
"What time do we need to leave?" Louis asked tiredly.
"I was thinking 6:00. It doesn't start til 7:00 but I offered to help Ed and Niall finish setting up."
"The fact that they've put this entire thing together, along with a whole album, just the two of them, is incredibly impressive."
"It really is. We finished up Ed's album art a week ago, he said he and Niall were up in his garage all night putting together all the CD's."
"He'll have his album online, yeah?"
"Yeah, and vinyl. He ordered a few records, just for everyone at the party tonight. Public vinyl sales are all pre-order. The album will be on Spotify, Apple Music, and basically any other streaming site that exists. He and Niall covered like every base."
"Damn. I can't wait to hear the full album. Did Ed play it all the way through for you during your photo meetings?"
"Nah, just a few tracks. But he said it'll be worth the wait."
"I bet. Damn, I hope they relax for a month after this." Louis chuckled and closed his eyes.
"They should, but I doubt it. Ed said he has some big announcement to make tonight. Probably consists of them not relaxing." Harry laughed and sat up, grabbing Louis' hands and pulling him to sit up as well.
"Let's go shower before we get ready, it was weirdly warm today, and I wanna smell nice tonight."
Louis smirked and pulled Harry in to a hug, sticking his face against his chest, near his armpit. "You smell good all the time, ya goof."
He continued playfully sniffing Harry all over, tickling his sides in the process.
"Stop! Stop!" Harry laughed breathlessly. "You're such a dork."
He grinned and pulled Louis' face to his to press their lips together.
