Crashing Down |L.S|

Chapter 24

Monday 4:22pm

Harry and Louis had just been hanging out for most of the day, with Louis wondering and physically asking what Harry has planned. Harry, of course, hasn't told him.

Harry had been up late last night while Louis slept, planning out what he wanted for the proposal. He took out a bunch of pictures from their last two years and from their One Direction years. He almost cried reminiscing on the past and wondered why he waited so long. He packed everything in a bag that he had hidden in the closet, so that Louis wouldn't find it.

"Harry, I asked you a question." Louis waved his hand in front of Harry's face.

"Sorry, just thinking. What's up?" Harry snapped out of his thoughts, grabbing Louis' hand.

"I asked you what we are doing tonight? You have been too quiet." Louis turned the TV off so that they could focus on talking.

"Fine. Liam is coming to pick you up and he is taking you to dinner. He wants time to talk about his music and wants to know if you still want to collaborate with him. Also the restaurant is kind of fancy, so wear something a little nicer." Harry bit his lip because it was mostly a lie and it was hard to lie to Louis.

"Really? That's it. That's what you've been so quiet about. I don't believe you. But okay. What time?"

"He is coming around five."

"What are you going to do in the meantime?"

"I'll probably invite Niall over. He said he wanted to show me a song he wrote in the past few weeks." He lied again, but Louis hadn't caught on which was good.

"Still don't believe you, but okay. I'm going to go get ready." Louis got up and went to their bedroom, closing the door behind him.

Harry whipped out his phone, texting Liam to come and get Louis. He responded rather quickly, saying that he would be there soon. Louis came out of the room about 20 minutes later, as Liam pulled in the driveway.

"Damn, you look hot." Harry said as Louis came out, walking down the stairs, still very careful.

"Thanks, but the brace does not do wonders for my legs." He chuckled and gave Harry a kiss, before the doorbell rang.

"Coming!" Harry shuffled towards the door, opening it to see Liam, who was dressed quite nicely himself. "Hey Liam"

"What's up Styles?" He brought his voice down very quietly so Louis couldn't hear. "Are you ready for tonight?"

Harry just nodded and gave a small wink before Louis walked over.

"Well you look very nice Louis. Ready to go?" Liam motioned toward the car that was still running.

"Yup, let's go." Louis said goodbye to Harry, and then left. Once Harry saw that they pulled out of the driveway, Harry went upstairs. He grabbed the bag out of the closet. He double checked that he had everything, but then remembered the ring. It was hidden away just like before in the bathroom cabinet. He grabbed it, slipping it into his pocket.

He showered, drying his hair very quickly. He chose Louis' favorite suit, the one that had subtle green sparkles that brought out his eyes. He fixed himself, before texting Niall that he was on his way. He grabbed everything and made his way out the door. Tonight had to be perfect.

5:31pm

Louis

Louis and Liam made their way into the restaurant, following the hostess who led them to their seats. Their seats were in the back, in private so that fans didn't recognize them at the front of the restaurant.
