"Oh come on Harry." Louis' face was fixed into a puppy pout.
"Oh god, all right. But when i have back problems its going to be your fault." Harry had a hard time hiding the smile building on his lips. Louis' face instantly fixed into a wide smile as he climbed on top of Harry's shoulders.
"I don't see how this is going to help us any." Harry said.
"All of the good apples are on top." Louis replied.
"Oh really? And how do you gather that?"
"Why, you pick them and put them in a bag. I thought you knew about picking apples. You're thebone that brought up the idea in the first place."
"No... I meant what makes you think all the good ones are on top?"
"For many reasons: they get the most sunlight, bugs are lazy and wont travel that far to eat them, and i get to it on your shoulders."
"Whatever you say Lou."
Harry tried to take a step forward and almost lost his balance. "Shit, this is a lot harder than i thought."
"Dont worry, we only need to go to two different trees to get a dozen."
Harry took cautious steps to avoid collision with the apple trees or the ground as he traveled from tree to tree.
Louis had the bag set atop Harry's head, and would gently place the apples in the burlap sack one at a time.
"Hey Harry..."
"Yea Lou?"
"I love you."
"I love you too Lou."
"Even though i basically forced you to let me sit on your shoulders?"
"Even though you basically forced me to let me sit on your shoulders."
Louis pulled one last apple from the tree, "Alright you can let me down now." He handed Harry the bag and he set it down on the ground. Then Louis wrapped his arms around Harry's neck and swung his legs behind him, landing on the ground. Harry turned around and looked in Lou's eyes.
"I could say it a million times, but it would never fully express the way i feel about you Lou. I love you."
"You rhymed." Louis said looking right back into Harry's eyes.
"Oh shut up." Harry said slamming his lips against Louis' and wrapping his arms over his shoulders, leaning into the kiss a little more.
"Youre my world Lou. I want to shout it from the roof top. i want to sing it to you everynight. i want to let all of the universe know just how much you mean to me. and with that I'm asking you to marry me." Harry got down on one knee, pulling the box out of his coat pocket. "Louis Tomlinson, will you marry me?"
Louis tried to open his mouth to speak, but he couldn't. Instead tears ran down his cheeks as he shook his head up and down.
Harry stood up to put the ring on Lou's finger, but Louis ran at Harry instead, tackling him to the ground and kissing him.
"I love you so much, i am in love with you Harry, of course i will marry you." And Louis planted another kiss on Harry's neck. "We better get home quick before i pull down your pants in this apple orchard."
"First let me put the ring on your hand Lou." Harry said, sliding the ring onto Louis' finger. "Okay, now we can go."
Harry grabbed Louis' hand and then grabbed the apple sack with his free hand, sprinting to the front, towards the parking lot.
