KINGS & QUEENS - LARRY STYLINSON FANFICTION

TOUR START

The tour starts well for One Direction in Manchester. For Louis, the best thing about being in the band is being on stage. When the intro starts playing, the crowd gets wild every time and the adrenaline starts rushing through Louis' body as they're standing behind the stage together. The crowd has always the power to fill him with energy what inspires Louis to be better and battle his achievements: the way he sings, the way he interacts with his audience, his song writing, everything. Promo season has been good so far. They did many interviews for radio and TV shows, performed songs live and stuff but nothing comes close to being on stage in front of all those enthusiastic people. Louis loves posting backstage impressions on his social media, too. Most of the comments he gets are cool and sometimes funny so with that he has created another base besides Twitter for connecting with his fans as much as he can.

The band's family and friends, as well as Louis' boyfriend Matt, were invited for the first show in Manchester. Every time his loved ones are in the audience, Louis gets extra nervous but also very proud. They have always been supporting him so much that Louis feels like giving back is one of the best things he can do. At the after-show party everyone had lot of fun. The party itself was successful, due to the perfect organization and the surprise karaoke night some crew members had arranged for everyone who wanted to take part. The last guests left the party around four o'clock in the morning and Louis really didn't remember how he got home that night.

After the soundcheck for the second show in London, the band stays at the venue. Louis wins a table tennis match against his bandmates first, then he plays some video games with Zayn while Niall and Liam are on the phone with their girlfriends. They also have to keep them a secret but that's the only burden they have to endure. The only thing they have to do is constantly denying any relationships. Louis has to keep Matt a secret and do these stupid stunts on top. While they are playing, Louis gets a text from Harry who tells him that he has just arrived at the airport and that he's on his way to the venue. Why does he even message him? As if Louis cared. He puts the phone back into his pocket.

"Who was that?" Zayn suddenly asks.

"My boyfriend," Louis says sarcastically as he rolls his eyes in annoyance.

"Matt?"

"No, you idiot, Harold."

"Who?"

"Styles! My fake soon to be boyfriend, remember?"

"The model?"

"The model," Louis huffs. He hates that he's being reminded of that night again and he also hates that Harry will be here in a few minutes.

Zayn gives Louis a smile. The tip of his tongue is showing between his white teeth, a habit Louis has always loved very much because it makes him look cute. "His name is Harry, not Harold. He's cool, though? I like him."

"Yeah," Louis grunts, "very cool."

"Oh, come on . . . Lou! Are you still mad at me because of that incident? I've apologized to you at least a hundred times!"

"Yes Zayn, I'm still mad because of that incident!" Louis crosses his arms in front of his chest and glares at his bandmate.

"I'm really sorry," Zayn says softly. "I wasn't aware of the fact that you would still be grumpy weeks after that." He touches Louis' arm gently but Louis pulls away.

"You yelled at me because of your fucking suit and then you replaced me with Harold and you're still wondering why I'm grumpy?"

"I overreacted. The suit was borrowed and I panicked."

"Yeah and then you ignored me for the rest of the night."

Zayn sighs as he puts the controller onto the table in front of him. He scoots closer to Louis with open arms and wraps them around his friend. He gives him a friendly kiss onto his cheek. "You know I love you, I'm sorry. Please don't be mad at me anymore."

Louis pouts for a second but then he smiles a little bit as he wraps his arms around Zayn too. "I know . . . but still, your reaction hurt me . . . a lot. You know that I'm sensitive when it comes to this." He pulls back and presses his lips together. Zayn means too much for him to just forget about that night, he can't change that feeling even if he wanted to. The pictures of Zayn flirting with Harry have been engraved into Louis' brain and won't ever fade. In his eyes, they were flirting and that's what drives Louis insane, still.

Zayn puts his hand onto Louis' shoulder. "What about another game, you against me? If you win, I'll give you a back massage whenever you want and if I win, I'll get one from you."

Louis knows well about Zayn's massaging skills so he wouldn't want to miss this chance. "Deal," he says and reaches out his hand.

"Deal," Zayn agrees and shakes Louis' hand.

Louis starts the racing game they have played quite a lot and both guys are equally good at first. Louis wins the first round, Zayn the second and the third one. In the last seconds of the following game, Louis can turn the game around and wins the fourth round, as well as the last one. After the game has ended, Louis throws the controller onto the sofa and stretches his arms up in the air, his fists balled. "Yes!" he cheers, "I won!" Louis smiles as if he had won the most important football match of the year.

Zayn gives Louis high five. "Wow, that game was sick. Congrats!"

"Thanks," Louis smiles. "I can't wait for my massage!"

"Do you think you can forgive me after that? I don't want you to be grumpy, you're my best mate here, Lou."

"I think so, depends on how relaxed I'll be afterward." Louis winks playfully and earns a nudge from Zayn.

"I'll do my best. Would you mind if I call my babe now? The show is going to start in an hour and she'll have to go to bed soon since she has an exam tomorrow."

"No problem. I'm hungry anyway."

"As usual," Zayn laughs and ruffles through Louis' hair, then lays down on the sofa and calls his girlfriend.
