KINGS & QUEENS - LARRY STYLINSON FANFICTION

MEET & GREET

When Louis leaves for the concert, Matt is asleep. Louis decides not to wake him but sends him a message when he's on the way to the venue. Here in New Orleans a meet & greet is planned before the show so there's not much time for anything before the show starts. The band gets ready and soon, the fans are led into the prepared room. Most of them are accompanied by their parents. Louis and his bandmates write one autograph after another, take pictures with the fans and do small talk. When Louis does those Meet & Greets, he's always in a sort of trance because the management wants them to only spend about two to three minutes per fan or fan group and that's exhausting sometimes so that Louis can't really think of other things. Those meetings are often stressful for him and his bandmates. They would never admit that in front of the fans who usually pay a huge amount of money to meet them. Louis doesn't like that fact but it's not on him to decide those things. He tried to talk to Sia about that once but he only told him that One Direction wasn't an aid organisation and Louis should mind his own business.

After some time, the amount of people in the room decreases and there are just a few girls waiting for their turn. When Louis is about to write the last autographs, he gets starstruck all of a sudden. He looks up to greet the next fan and there's Harry standing in front of him, looking cosy as fuck. Louis blinks because he can't believe his eyes. He's dumbfounded and his heart begins to race. It's really Harry in his white, knitted jumper and the light blue jeans Louis loves so much on him. He gives Louis the prettiest smile ever so that Louis' knees get weak the moment he realizes it's really him. Louis doesn't talk, he just stares at Harry as if he was a ghost.

"Don't you want to say hi?" Harry says amused.

"Uh . . . sorry I-," Louis stammers.

"Shut up and give me my autograph now," Harry interrupts playfully, handing Louis a cover of their latest album.

In that moment, Louis regains consciousness again. "Hey," he smiles. "What do you want me to write?" He can't stop smiling and he shakes his head in positive disbelieve. What a surprise. He really didn't recon he'd see Harry at the venue. The girls who are standing close giggle and gasp as they take pictures of Harry and Louis but both guys don't pay attention to them.

"Something nice."

"Okay," Louis grins and scribbles down some words. "Here." He hands Harry his autograph.

"Why the fuck are you already here?" Harry reads out. "I'm just here to annoy you, you know?" Harry gives Louis a cheeky smile. "See you in a few." And with these words Harry turns around and walks away, leaving Louis behind with a heartbeat like a hummingbird. He wasn't expecting any of his reactions and the fact that Harry is already here does something to him he couldn't explain even if he had to. Directly after the Meet & Greet the boys get dressed for the show. Louis meets Harry in the hallway quickly but they don't really have time to talk since Joyce and Jamila want to get the boys ready for the show. Harry isn't with them in the dressing room but Louis wishes he was.

During the show, Louis feels calm and excited at the same time. Not only because of the show itself but because of Harry. He can't wait to spend time with him again. When the show is over, the other boys leave immediately. Harry and Louis shower, then they get styled for the stunt. As usual, Harry is in a good mood and it's contagious to everyone around him. Everyone likes Harry, everyone. There's not a single person in the team who isn't happy to be around him and that's something Louis likes on one hand but on the other hand, he feels a little bit jealous, too. He doesn't even like when someone touches Harry, no matter if it's for professional reasons or just a hug to say hello. Louis doesn't like it.
