Sorry if this is getting quite repetitive with the last few chapters, I’ve got this last interview to write and then the lads are off to the UK;)
The lads had to be prepared for tonight. When taking part in something against one another, they got very competitive.
On the tonight show, they needed to prepare a song that they would lip sync in front of the audience and a special guest will be judging who wins.
Louis was sure that everyone would be going all out with their performances, especially Harry.
If anyone of them wanted to even stand a chance against the man with the green eyes they would have to pull off a miracle seeming as he is known to put on a show.
So, Louis had his outfit and stage all organised to perfection for later on in the show tonight, hoping he can impress this unknown guest.
But that was for later. Right now louis and the lads were heading to the spa for a facial and back massage as this would be their last chance to use the luxurious treatment before heading back to the UK.
“Don’t let me go into the sauna again, last time I did it was a nightmare” Niall told the lads as they were heading to the hotels spa.
“Why, what happened?” Liam asked.
“There were two vent type things in the sauna where the heat comes out, one of them was turned on and the other was off, I happened to put my hand directly over the hot one, got a scar n’ everything” he explained, showing the patch of skin on his hand that was scarred.
“Why the fuck would you put your hand over it in the first place?” Louis asked.
“I’m not even sure myself to be honest, I think someone else in there said about it being off so I stupidly tested it out” he said with a shrug, finally reaching the spa.
When they walked in they were instantly hit with the smell of lavender and roses, women were setting up the treatment and one of which came over to greet them.
“Hello, I’m assuming your here for the private treatment today?” She asked with a warm smile on her face, keeping things professional.
“Yeh, just the facial and massage” Zayn told her.
She nodded “right this way” she said, telling them to follow her through to the changing rooms.
“You can change in here, you are to wear your boxers and nothing else if that’s okay, there are also towels you can bring through in case you need them and over to the right there are cabinets for leaving your belongings in, please just come back out where I showed you and we will get straight on with it” she said, gaining nods from the lads before walking back outside, giving them some privacy.
“Think they just wanna see us half naked?” Harry said with a smirk.
“Your ego is too big for your own good styles” Louis retorted in a playful tone, beginning to strip off his t shirt.
“You love it really” He said with a wink, removing his shirt as Louis had just done.
They realise they had probably been staring at each other’s bodies for too long to be counted as platonic so they quickly looked elsewhere and continued stripping.
Once they were all ready they walked back out to the main area and were directed to take a seat in the comfy arm chairs while they had their facial masks applicated.
“You look fucking ridiculous, Harry said to Louis, who had a green mushy substance spread across his entire face.
“You realise you look just the same as me right now, Jesus your even more of a frog with a green face mask on” Louis retorted, gaining a laugh from the lads who were sat besides him.
“Heyyy” He said with a faux pout, Louis returning a fond look.
“Joking babe, you look like shrek” he said with a wink, the lads gave an even louder laugh, startling the workers.
“Well then your my Fiona” he said with a sly look.
Louis was actually thankful for the mask now, it covered the blush creeping up onto his cheeks. He looked forward shyly at the words that came from Harry, not knowing how to reply.
“Jesus get a room” Niall called from the end of the row of seats, Liam and Zayn humming in agreement.
“Shut up” Louis said in embarrassment, Harry just laughed and closed his eyes once again.
After 15 minutes the masks were removed and they were taken to another set of chairs but this time for massages.
They laid down on their fronts with their faces fitting snugly into the holes, Louis found it slightly uncomfortable but decided it would be worth it while getting the actual massage.
“We’re just going to apply some oil now, it may be a little cold at first” One of the workers said, snapping the lid open of what Louis could only assume to be the oil.
“Yeh that’s fine- holy shit that’s cold” Louis exclaimed, not at all ready for the substance to be poured onto his back, even with the warning.
“Sorry sorry” the woman said in between chuckles.
Louis could hear hisses coming from either side of him so he guessed they had just had the oil put onto their backs as well, he wished he could see their reactions but sadly he was confined to the chair.
At first the massage was uncomfortable, his joints and muscles being sore and aching when pressure was applied to them, but after a while the pain turned to pleasure and he could feel himself relaxing.
“Fuck that feels good” he groaned out as the woman rubbed out a trapped nerve from his shoulder and neck.
“Yeah? I’m glad you like it” she replied, continuing with the same thing on the other shoulder, all the while gaining more groans from Louis.
“Mind keeping it down?” Harry harshly spoke up from besides him, causing Louis to open his eyes and furrow his brows.
“What?” He asked, confused at the tone in his voice.
“I said keep it down, don’t wanna hear you practically moaning right besides me” he explained.
Then it hit Louis. Was he- jealous?
“I think someone is getting a bit jealous over here” Louis said in a teasing manner.
“No. I’m sure no one else would want to hear you moaning and groaning while getting a massage” he retorted.
“No but you’d want to hear it in another way wouldn’t you” He shot back, shocked that the words had even fallen out of his mouth.
Harry practically choked on his spit, not expecting such a dirty innuendo to come out of the lads mouth.
“Fuck me” Harry sighed out, closing his eyes.
“Well, if your offering” he said in a suggestive tone.
“God damn it louis” Liam exclaimed from the seat on the other side of him.
Louis just laughed at all their reactions, he had missed annoying them to death with him and Harrys relationship, and now that he could finally continue doing it, he would take any chance he got.
“Alright alright, later” Louis finalised, by now Harry didn’t know if he was breathing or not.
————————————————————————
“Welcome back ladies and gentlemen, here with one direction were playing lip sync battle!” Jimmy Fallon announced, causing them to cheer in excitement.
“Okay so each of the lads and myself have a song picked out and none of us know what song that may be. We are going to take it in turns lip syncing the song with props and outfits or whatever else they have planned and it’s our special guests job to chose a winner at the end” Jimmy explained.
“So with that, tonight’s special guest is none other than Ed Sheeran!” He exclaimed, Ed walking on to the stage and greeting the boys with big hugs.
Ed took a seat at the side of the stage where the band were set up and got ready to watch the performances.
“Okay I will go first. The song I’ve chosen is hey ya, by OutKast”
The boys took their seats besides Ed as the beat started up, Jimmy preparing for his performance.
An old looking microphone was brought on stage and Jimmy was wearing a green shirt with a patterned tie to mimic the music video.
“1,2,3,4 My baby don’t mess around because she loves me so and this I know for sho” He began ‘singing’ stepping around the stage and pulling the microphone stand with him.
Louis looked over to see Harry syncing the words along with him, he knew this was one of Harry’s favourite songs so he’s not surprised to see the man bopping his head and clapping along with the audience.
“But does she really wanna, but can’t stand to see me walk out the door”
The audience clapped three times when Jimmy did.
“Don’t try to fight the feeling cause the thought alone is killing me right now. Thank god for mom and dad for sticking to together cuz we don’t know how”
Clap, clap, clap.
“Heyyyy yahhh, heyyy yahhhh”
Clap, clap, clap.
“Heyyyy yahhh, heyyy yahhhh”
Harry moved his hands to either side of his head shaking them while moving back and fourth, he then tuned to Louis.
“I feel like he does this right?” He said, gesturing to his hand movement.
“Yeh sure” Louis said laughing, but joining in on the action none the less.
Soon enough Jimmy had finished his solo and the crowd erupted into cheers.
“Alright, Liam is up next, let’s see if you can do any better” he said, challenging the man.
“Alright, I’ll be back in a sec I’m gonna go change” he said, rushing off back stage.
Liam walked back out on stage a few minutes later wearing baggy blue jeans and an oversized white t shirt, paired with some sneakers.
“Alright, my song is the real slim shady by Eminem” he announced, getting an excited response from the audience.
The music began and Liam walked over to the lads.
“Can I have your attention please, will the real slim shady please stand up” he synced in their faces.
He then turned towards the audience.
“I repeat, will the real slim shady please stand up” he announced, a few people in the back actually standing up, thinking they were funny.
“We’re gonna have a problem here” Liam mouthed , sighing and running a hand over his face.
“Yall act like you’ve never seen I white person before, jaws on the floor like Pam and tommy just burst in the door, and started whooping her ass worse than before, they first were divorced, throwing her over furniture” he said, moving along in front of the audience and getting into their faces, moving his arms about as if he were a proper rapper.
“Now it’s the return of the, ah wait, no wait, your kidding. He didn’t just say what I think he did, did he? And dr Dre said, nothing you idiot dr Dre’s dead, he’s locked in my basement” Liam continued, gesturing behind him at the mention of a basement.
After another verse it finally got to the chorus. Suddenly a whole crowd of people burst through the doors and stood behind Liam, each were dressed the exact same, blue jeans and a white t shirt, Liam practically blended in with them all.
“Now I’m slim shady, the real slim shady, all you other slim shady’s are just imitating, so won’t the real slim shady please stand up, please stand up, please stand up”
Liam and the actors were jumping around everywhere, interacting with the audience and by the end of it, they were all on their feet, dancing along as if it were a real rap concert.
The lads were laughing at the whole ordeal, thinking it looked crazy from where they were sat. But they joined in none the less, singing the words loudly and putting their arms in the air.
The song finally came to an end and Liam was exhausted by the end of it, huffing as he took his seat once again.
“Alright that was a great performance, now we have Niall. I’m guessing your gonna go get changed quickly?” Jimmy asked, pointing to the back stage area.
“Yeh, I’ll be one minute”
As soon as Niall returned everyone knew what song he was performing.
He was only wearing cycling shorts and his face was painted in nude toned shapes as well as reds and greens, Louis honestly doesn’t know how they got it painted so quick, he would have had to had a whole team do the makeup.
As expected, Niall announced that he would be performing somebody that I used to know by gotye.
He stood up against a set wall that blended him into the colours and began cunning the first verse, he then went onto the chorus after a long instrumental.
“But you didn’t have to cut me off. Made out like it never happened and that we were nothing, and I don’t even need your love, but your treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough”
All the while singing the song, Niall was putting all the emotions into his face, mimicking the way the man did it in the video. It looked amazing on the large screen on the far side of the stage as the camera had a close up of Niall, it looked like the actual music video.
“Oh my god, Niall that was incredible”
“Cheers” is all he said before sitting down, trying hard not to rub any body paint on anyone.
“Okay next up is Zayn, off you go”
“Alright” He said, walking behind set.
Zayn walked back out wearing some sort of white, silk jumpsuit and a shoulder length wig.
“Oh look, it’s Harry!” Louis called out.
The audience all burst out into laughter and Harry smacked Louis on his thigh, but he couldn’t help the small smile that graced his face.
“The song I have chosen is bohemian rhapsody by Queen” Zayn announced before taking a seat at the grand piano and pretending to play seeming as he wasn’t the best in real life. It was a lip syncing battle after all.
“Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality. Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see” He synced, gaining a positive reaction from the crowd being that almost everyone loved queen.
When it got to the more upbeat part of the song, Zayn stood up from his stool, grabbed a microphone and began moving across the stage just as Freddie would have done.
“I see a little silhouette of a man, scaramouche
Scaramouche, will you do the fandango. Thunder bolts and lightning, very very frightening me” He said dramatically.
This was right up Harrys street, being a big fan of rock bands such as queen, he thought Zayn was doing a great job.
Zayn finished the song and it was finally Louis’ turn, he went back stage and found his outfit, an all white one to be exact.
He worse a white oversized t shirt with white sweat pants and white nike sneakers.
He walked back out to face the audience and he saw that Harry gave him an encouraging nod, making him smile back.
“The song I’ve chosen is when the party’s over by billie eilish” he announced before sitting down at a table, the lights dimmed all but one very bright white one pointing directly at him.
He was sat in front of a completely white background and in front of him on a desk laid a single cup filled to the brim with a black liquid.
The music began to ring through the room, Billies sweet harmonies humming through everyone’s ears.
“Don’t you know I’m no good for you” Louis started off syncing.
He sat and stared at the glass while moving his lips to the words, not tearing his eyes away.
“I’ve learned to lose you can afford to. Tore my shirt to stop you bleeding” he then tugged at the hem of his white shirt, just like she did in the music video.
“But nothin every stops you leaving”
Louis then slowly started to reach for the glass.
“Quiet when I’m coming home and I’m on my own. I could lie say I like it like that like it like that” he paused for a second, before bringing the glass towards his mouth.
Louis couldn’t see, too focused on his acting, but Harry, the lads, Jimmy, Ed, The band and the audience were all captivated by his performance so far. Staring in awe at his actions, this was a side nobody had ever seen in Louis, even if it was just acting.
“I could lie say I like it like that like it like that. Don’t you know too much already”
Louis finished his drink after downing the entire contents, gagging a little on the last of it before composing himself.
He wiped his mouth from the black substance with the back of his hand and continued to gaze into space as the song continued.
“Call me friend but keep me closer, call me back”
At the words call me back louis moves in a way that looked like his neck was breaking, gaining some gasps from the audience and causing the lads and Jimmy to cringe.
“And I’ll call you when the party’s over”
With that last word Louis snapped his head up to stare directly into the camera, the video captured now being displayed on screen, looking eerie and disturbing.
“Quiet when I’m coming home and I’m on my own”
With that, a black, ink type substance started pouring from Louis eyes, or from the tunes behind him but they didn’t need to know that.
More gasps were heard from people in the room, all staring with wide eyes at Louis on the screen.
“And I could lie say I like it like that like it like that”
Louis said, emotion pouring from his face when silently speaking the words.
The ink was running all over by now, his once pristine white clothes becoming a dull, dark colour.
He finished the song and the lights came up once again, the audience cheering louder than ever before and Louis smiled while wiping the black liquid from his eyes.
He went to take his seat once again and got pats on the back from his band mates and Ed.
“Shit Lou you can really act” Harry exclaimed.
“Didn’t do my production for Greece for nothing” he said cheekily.
Harry then had to rush off to get changed for his performance, coming back only a second later wearing only coloured cycle shorts and nothing else, just like Niall.
Another thing that was similar about what Harrys performance was the set up, it was the same as Louis only with a black background and no table, just a stool.
“The song I’ve chosen is big girls cry by sia” he said before sitting down on the stood and the lights dimming completely down, only a spotlight on his upper body and face.
As the music began Harry stared into the camera, an intense look cemented into his face,
It sent shivers down Louis spine as he watched him on the large screen.
“Tough girl, in the fast lane, no time for love, no time for hate”
Harry didn’t sync the song, instead he practically re created the music video.
As the lyrics played out he did a series of actions, it almost looked like Did didn’t have control over his own hands and it was an obscure thing to watch.
He was grabbing and pulling at his face, moving his head to the side and pulling his lips out, all the while making weird facial expressions.
“I’m at home, on my own, check my phone, nothing though, act busy, order in, pay tv, it’s agony”
Harry started out slow, following his hand movements with his eyes as they drifted away from him, but then suddenly snapping back and slapping himself over the face countless times, it did seem like agony.
“I may cry ruining my makeup, wash away all the things you’ve taken, and I don’t care if I don’t look pretty, big girls cry when their hearts are breaking”
While the chorus was playing Harry did nothing but stare into the camera once again before seeming to snap out of his trance and pinching himself everywhere on his face. He seriously was going all in for this challenge, Louis thought, as it looked so painful.
The verses were repeated and Harry did just as he had done before, weird hand movements witch consisted of a lot of face grabbing and slapping.
When the chorus hit for the second time another set of hands came up from behind Harry and ran over his facial features, working with the man to do certain movements and crest expressions.
You couldn’t see who was behind harry as the back drop was completely black so all you could see were two hands protruding from the darkness.
The song finally ended and the lights came up once again, Harry stood up and took a small bow before walking over to the lads.
“How on earth did you learn a whole Maddie Ziegler dance with in one night?” Zayn asked in disbelief.
“That’s for me to know and for you to find out” Harry said with a smirk, turning back to Jimmy as he was called over.
“Okay, Ed now needs to chose the winner” Jimmy announced.
Ed stepped forward ready to give his choice.
“Okay, I’m gonna day it now, it was extremely tough making a decision, you were all incredible. But, I’m gonna have to say Louis just because of the acting skills, Harry you were a close runner up though” He finalised.
Louis jumped up in victory and the lads congratulated him.
Hardy laughed at Louis’ excitement and pulled him in for a hug.
“Well done babe” he whispered in his ear before kissing his cheek and walking away.
