KINGS & QUEENS - LARRY STYLINSON FANFICTION

GETTING READY

After the stunts have officially ended, Louis feels some kind of new gained freedom concerning his relationship with Harry and the holiday with his friends from back home. Even during that period of time, the fans didn't stop speculating. After the winter holiday stunts in Austria, the fan's interest had come to another high what was probably caused by the pictures the paparazzi had taken. They were ambiguous as usual what only inflamed the speculations about Harry and Louis being in a relationship. Especially Harry gained thousands of new followers on Twitter during the last months and also Louis' numbers rose.

"Louis, could you please come over?" Harry's stylist Josephine asks Louis who is sitting on the bay window of the hotel room. Louis looks over to her and nods. Josephine gives Louis a smile as she pulls the chair back for him. "You look gorgeous already but a little bit of make-up will make you glow."

"Thank you," he says. "I know you wouldn't turn me into a girl so it's fine."

"Of course not. Does Harry look like a girl?"

"No and that's the only reason I trust you."

Harry gives Louis thumbs up and Josephine chuckles. "Good. Then let's make perfection out of you." She starts applying make-up on Louis' face professionally. It doesn't take long until Louis is ready.

"I need to talk to you," Louis tells Harry afterward.

"You sound so serious. What's bothering you?"

Louis shakes his head. "No, no . . . not here." He takes Harry's hand and leads him into the bathroom – the only place where they can be on their own right now. Harry sits down on the edge of the bath tub and pulls Louis close by his hands so that he stands between his legs. "I'm so fucking nervous because of this."

"Is it because of the show?" Harry asks. "If you don't feel comfortable, you don't have to come."

"No, it's not that. I want to accompany you there it's just . . . my management doesn't know and walking the red carpet with you is something official that they should know before, I . . . I just don't know what the consequences will be. Sia hadn't planned us really becoming a couple and it's written in my contract that I can't have a partner before informing my management."

Harry gently presses a kiss onto Louis' lips. "I'm so proud that you want to accompany me and you know, I want everyone to know you belong to me."

Louis flushes a little but smiles. "Yeah?" Harry nods in silence. "I want that too Harry, more than anything but still, I'm nervous."

"Do you think they might sue you or something?"

Louis shrugs. "Maybe. I'm not sure. I wouldn't be surprised, to be honest."

"Oh, I see. Well then, as I've said before . . . you don't have to come."

Louis shakes his head. "No, I want to. I want to show Sia that this came out of his shitty idea which will probably annoy him to a certain extend. I'm just thinking what the consequences might be and . . . yeah, I'm nervous because of you, that something might go wrong on the red carpet and the press, too."

"I can understand."

Louis looks down, tracing Harry's hands with his thumbs. "But I want to come."

Harry kisses Louis' knuckles. "That's great. I mean, look how gorgeous you are. The red carpet will be rolled out only for you! You've done this with your band before, haven't you? You'll do great, I know that."

"Yeah I have done this before but not . . . with someone like you."

"Louis," Harry threatens playfully.

"No!" Louis smiles and hits Harry's shoulders, "No, no! I don't mean it like that, I mean it's . . . this isn't an award show where I'll present my songs that I'm completely fine with, this is . . . you. You mean so much to me and it's quite . . . personal." Louis blows air through his lips. "This sounds stupid, I don't know how to express myself."

"Lou, there's nothing you should be afraid of. You'll do great!"

"Thank you so much."

Harry takes Louis' hands in his. "It will be only you and me and it will be official this time. The thought of this makes me feel so good. It will be a surprise for everyone, especially for your fans." Harry chuckles. "Well, at least for those who don't want to marry you."

"Stop making fun of me!"

Harry smiles. "I'm not making fun of you. What I wanted to say is I don't care about what people think."

Louis gives Harry a smile. "It will also be a surprise for your fans, Harold."

Harry nudges Louis playfully. "Idiot."

"I probably shouldn't mind about consequences."

"In case if you get in trouble, I'll help you out, I promise," Harry says. "The only thing I want you to know is that I don't want to force you into this. Really Lou, if you feel uncomfortable or if you're afraid of what might happen you could skip the red carpet walk and wait for me backstage-,"

Louis silences Harry by kissing him. "Is this enough as an answer?"

"No," Harry smiles, "I'm not convinced yet." He brushes his lips against Louis' who giggles as he leans in to kiss Harry again, longer this time. The kiss is soft and hot at the same time what makes Louis' heart leap and his stomach flutter. "It's better now," Harry says against Louis' mouth.
