"Hi, mum." Louis spoke into his phone, putting it on speaker when his mom picked up with a "Hi, love."

"How's everything going at Eleanor's?" Asked Johannah, thinking Louis had been staying at Eleanor's for the past few days since that was what Louis told her

"Um, so I have to tell you something." Louis bit his lip nervously, purposely not answering her question.

"What is it, sweetie?"

Louis wasn't sure how to go about the whole explanation, so he started slowly. "I'm not at Eleanor's."

"What? Are you on your way home?"

"No, no. I, um, I haven't been at Eleanor's the past few days."

"Then where have you been, love?" Johannah asked with worry, beginning to get confused by her son's words.

"Mum, I've gotten a boyfriend." Louis decided to start again.

"A boyfriend? That's great, darling. What's his name? Do we know him?"

"You know Harry Styles?" Louis wanted to chuckle at the bizarre question, since he had spent countless hours ranting to his mom about how attractive Harry was. He made eye contact with Harry, who was sat beside him on the couch, and smiled with a playful roll of his eyes.

"Of course I do? You show me pictures of him everything other day, gushing about how handsome he is?" Anne answered with confusion clear in her voice once again, and Louis blushed while Harry's eyebrows rose and a smirk grew on his face.

"Well, um, it's him." Louis revealed, pinching his bottom lip between his fingers.

The other end went silent for a couple of seconds. "What are you talking about?"

"I've been staying at Harry's since his concert."

"Really? Are you serious right now?"

"Put your camera on." Louis directed, so Johannah did as told, and when she did Louis held his phone up so both him and Harry were shown in the camera.

"Hi, Jay." Harry smiled and Johannah's mouth opened widely.

"Oh my God! How did this happen, Lou?" Her eyes flicked between Harry and her son, not believing it.

"It's a long story." Louis smiled sheepishly and Harry cooed at the boy.

"Well, if Harry's your boyfriend, we all have to meet him of course! Are you free some time soon? Then we can hear the whole story." So Louis and Harry made plans with Johannah that they would come eat dinner at Louis' house the next day so the whole family could be introduced to Harry.

The next day, when Harry and Louis were meeting Louis' family, was also their last together before Harry had to go back on tour to finish the European leg. That meant weeks of them not seeing each other and because of the bond they had already created, Louis was not looking forward to it.

But they weren't focusing on that. They were focusing on the fact that they were meeting Louis' family and that time it was Harry's turn with the nerves. You would think confidence was something he had more than enough of as a loved singer, but inside and away from the spotlight, as Louis had discovered the past few days, Harry was just as insecure as the next guy. And the fact that Harry had never really been in a serious relationship where he met the parents only made it worse.

Louis looked at Harry when they stepped up to the front door with a meaningful look and turned his body towards him. "They already love you from what they've seen on social media and what I've mentioned. No one could hate your pretty face." He finished, his hands cupping Harry's cheeks.
