——————————————————————-
To say it was a busy day would be an understatement.
Today on the agenda was a meeting with management, rehearsals, sound check, makeup/hair and outfit, the concert and then finally getting on the tour bus and heading from London to Manchester.
Yeh, a busy day.
And that busy day began with the loud ringing of an alarm, waking Louis up with a groan.
“Fuck turn that shit off” Louis groaned to Harry who was laying beside him in their warm bed.
“Ugh you do it” Harry whined, snuggling deeper into the sheets.
“Can’t. Be. Arsed” Louis said with his eyes still shut, his eyebrows furrowing in annoyance.
“Fuck sake, your such a little shit you know that right?” Harry said with his groggy morning voice, sounding deeper and huskier than normal. Louis didn’t want to think it was hot, but he did anyway.
“Hmm, but you love me” Louis said, cracking his eyes open slightly to look at Harry with a smirk on his lips.
“Shut up” Harry said as he reached over for his phone and turned the alarm off before flopping back down onto the sheets.
“Say it” Louis said sleepily.
“Say what?” Harry asked with a smug look.
“You know what bitch” Louis replied sassily.
“I love you” Harry gave in, smiling down at the man who was wrapped tightly in the sheets, looking like a cocooned butterfly.
“Awe Haz, I like you too!” Louis sarcastically replied, laughing at the way Harry pouted in annoyance.
“I can’t deal with your sarcasm this early in the morning” Harry said, rolling his eyes.
“Who said I was being sarcastic?” Louis asked with a smirk.
“Okay, fuck off” Harry said, pretending to be offended as he began to climb out of bed.
Louis quickly grabbed his arm and pulled him back into the warm bed, looking him deeply in the eyes.
“I’m joking. I love you” Louis whispered truthfully.
“Love you too” Harry repeated, a wide smile etching onto his face, dimples on show.
“But, we need to get up, we’ve got a busy day ahead of us” Harry said, pecking the man on the cheek before pulling away from him, getting up from the bed once again.
“But I don’t wanna! It’s too fucking early for this shit” Louis groaned, stuffing his face into the pillow.
“Come on, think about the fans later on, will that motivate you?” Harry encouraged, pulling off the sheets from the bed to reveal Louis shirtless body, only wearing boxers.
“Shit! Give that back I’m cold!” Louis exclaimed, shooting up to try and grab the sheets.
“The fans Louis, the fans” Harry said with a pointed look.
“The fans don’t warm me up for gods sake!” Louis retorted.
“They will when your performing for them, now get the fuck up” Harry said before walking away into the bathroom, the sound of a shower running not a minute later.
Louis sighed and checked his phone, seeing the fans all hyped up for the beginning of tour on social media. He smiled at some of the tweets and replied to a few before huffing and pulling himself out of bed.
Once he had stretched he shuffled downstairs to go make a cup of tea, seeing all the lads in the kitchen eating breakfast with tired looks on their faces.
“Morning lads” Louis said as he walked into the room, heading straight for the kettle.
“Morning Lou, where’s harry?” Liam asked in between bites of toast.
“In the shower, he should be down soon” Louis replied, rubbing the sleep from his eyes.
“Thought you’d be in the shower with him” Zayn said with a smirk, the other two laughing at his comment.
“Not in the mood, it’s too early for your witty comments” Louis replied, facing the man to glare at him for a second before returning to his cuppa, making harry one for later.
“Oof, Sorry mate, hit a soft spot?” Zayn said smugly.
“Haven’t you got something better to do? Like I don’t know, shag Liam or something?” Louis retorted sassily, Liam almost choking on his food while Niall laughed, zayn blushing slightly.
“Do you have an infatuation with me and Liam shagging or something? You comment on it a lot, want me to video it for you?” Zayn said sassily, not wanting Louis to get the better of him.
“Already seen it once, in real life never mind a video. Never. Again.” Louis said with a grimace, shaking the thought out of his head.
“You loved it really” zayn said with a smirk.
“Ew. No. Just- no. Wanna show someone? Show Simon, maybe you can show him what he’s been missing out on all his life. Hey, maybe he will come out as gay within the next year or so, or, even better, we can make a bloody contract saying he can’t come out, he can have a taste of his own medicine” Louis ranted, not even knowing what he was talking about but the lads were laughing none the less.
“Bitch can you imagine. I’d actually die if he was secretly closeted and was just jealous of you lot” Niall said with a huff of laughter.
“Who’s secretly closeted?” Harry asked from the doorway, now fully dressed and hair still damp from his shower.
“Oh, we’re just talking about how funny it would be if Simon was actually gay and jealous of you being proud” Niall explained, calming down from his fit of giggles.
“I’d pay for that to be real” Harry said with a smirk, making his way over to Louis and resting his chest against the smaller mans back, looking over his shoulder whilst Louis was making their tea.
Harry sneaked his hands around Louis waist and kissed him on his neck, Louis smiling at the action.
“Hey! No PDA this early!” Niall exclaimed from the kitchen island.
Louis and harry laughed and broke apart from each other, Louis handing harry his tea before they sat down with the lads.
“Thanks love” Harry thanked louis, gesturing to the tea.
“No problem, although you don’t deserve it, making me get up” Louis said, rolling his eyes.
“You’ll be thanking me later when your not late to the meeting” Harry retorted, scoffing at the man whilst grabbing a slice of toast and an avocado.
“Wait, you eat fucking avocado now?” Louis exclaimed dramatically, shaking his head in disappointment.
“Uh, Yeh, why?” Harry asked in confusion, cutting the avocado and scooping the contents out onto his toast.
“It’s just so- basic. People only fucking eat it cause it’s trendy!” Louis argued, scoffing at harry.
“Excuse me but it’s delicious. Have you ever even tried it?” Harry asked, his eyebrows raised.
“I, well, um, not exactly” Louis said shyly.
“Fuck sake Louis. Your making assumptions without even trying it, come on just take a bite” Harry said, waving the avocado on toast in front of his face, making Louis pull back and push away his hands in disgust.
“Fuck no, get that mushy green thing away from me” Louis exclaimed, harry waving it in his face once again.
“Just eat it, it doesn’t hurt. It’s amazing lou just try it”
“No”
“Come on”
“No”
“For me?”
“N- fine” Louis sighed, damn harry fucking styles for manipulating him.
“Yay! Go on then, try it” Harry said excitedly, bringing the food to Louis mouth.
Louis rolled his eyes and reluctantly opened his mouth for harry to feed him. He took a small bite and harry watched hopefully as he chewed the food and swallowed it.
As much as Louis hated to say it. He actually liked it. Fuck sake.
“So? Do you like it?” Harry asked with a smirk.
“I mean, it’s okay I guess” Louis replied with a shrug, not liking being disproven.
“You totally fucking love it don’t lie!” Harry exclaimed, smirking wider at Louis as he sat with a nonchalant expression.
“Yeh Louis, Sorry mate but your a shit liar, you love it” Liam said, laughing at the mans expression.
“Whatever” Louis said, rolling his eyes at the lads.
“Aw babe don’t worry, just cause you love the avocados and you were wrong doesn’t mean your dignity has been bruised, even if it has” Harry said sarcastically, nudging Louis in the shoulder who in return slapped his arm.
“Fuck you and your fucking avocados. Avocados can suck my dick for all I care” Louis said, grabbing a slice of toast and scraping butter onto it. No way was he going to eat avocado on toast now, as much as he wanted to.
“Lou, avocados can’t suck dick hunny” Harry said softly, laughing at the pouting man.
“No but you can” Louis retorted, making the lads choke on their food and harry turn a bright red.
“What did I say about PDA!” Niall exclaimed, shoving his food away which was so out of character for him.
“Technically Niall it’s a sexual innuendo, not pda” Louis said sassily, biting into his toast.
“Well then, no sexual innuendos this early in the morning!” Niall said before getting up and walking out the room, the lads assuming he was going to get ready.
“Well, I’m gonna go get ready too then” Zayn said, putting his dishes in the sink and walking away.
“Same” Liam said, now leaving Louis and harry alone.
They sat in silence filled with tension for a moment before harry broke it.
“Soo, about that last comment-” harry began with a smirk, resting his hand on Louis upper thigh.
“Later” Louis said with a wink before finishing his last piece of toast and putting it with the rest of the dishes. He then walked out of the room, swaying his hips a little more than usual.
Harry sat their watching as Louis left, sighing in frustration but a small smirk playing at his lips. What a fucking tease, harry thought before getting up to finish getting ready.
————————————————————————
“Is your phone recording?” Liam asked Louis who checked his phone for the third time, just to be sure it was going to capture everything management and Simon say.
“Yup, lets do this shit” Louis said before hiding his phone and pushing open the door to the meeting room where management were all sat around a large table with Simon at the centre of it.
“Took your time” Simon said with a bored expression.
“We’re not even late!” Louis exclaimed with a sigh.
“It doesn’t matter, we were informed you go to the building 10 minutes ago so what took you so long finding the meeting room?” Simon asked, his eyes narrowing in suspicion.
“We just got a coffee, chill out” Zayn said, holding up his cup which he was now glad he had gotten, at least they had an excuse rather than having to make one up on the spot. They couldn’t exactly tell Simon they were plotting how to take legal actions on him and management.
“Alright just sit down so we can get this over with” Simon said, looking back down at his notes.
Once the lads were seated Simon began talking about the show tonight and what was going to happen.
“Right so I’m assuming you already know timings and where to be so we won’t go over that. But let me tell you now, if there’s any funny business on stage between you two then I’m upping the contract time” Simon said, gesturing to Louis and Harry.
Louis his his smirk behind his hand as he had just caught what he had said on video, meaning he had just gotten the first piece of evidence. However he needed more, he needed Simon to elaborate, so he started asking questions.
“What exactly do you mean by funny business?” Louis asked, tilting his head to the side.
“You know what I mean” Simon replied, not giving Louis the answer he needed, fuck sake.
“No I don’t actually, I need to know what I am and aren’t allowed to do on stage” Louis pushed, needing the answer from Simon on record.
“Fuck sake Louis, no kissing, holding hands, hugging, touching, all that shit. To put it simply, don’t act gay” Simon said in frustration.
Bingo.
Well, he may not care now, but Simon would soon be regretting that sentence as it will surely come back to bite him in the ass.
“But why, what do you have against gay people?” Harry asked, knowing what Louis was doing and playing along.
“What’s with all the damn questions today, the fuck are you up to?” Simon asked, finally hitting breaking point and beginning to get angry at the lads.
“Nothing, were just curious as you’ve never actually told us. It’s always the same bullshit excuse about our careers going down the drain. Don’t you think we deserve an explanation as to why were being treated like shit?” Harry asked smugly.
“It’s not a bullshit excuse, your careers would go down the drain as people in this industry don’t like fags like you. I’m doing you a favour” Simon said in a bitter tone.
“You seriously believe that? News flash Simon, we’re in the year 2020! People don’t think that shit anymore, they love it” Liam interjected, wanting to get his point across.
“And who the fuck asked for your opinion?” Simon asked, glaring at Liam.
“Nobody, I just wanted to get reality through your thick skull” Liam said dismissively, leaning back in his chair as the lads bit back their laughter.
“Oh please, your not cultured enough to even know what reactions you would get, and your not off the hook either, I’m not stupid, I know that you and Zayn like it up the ass just as much as the other two fags do so don’t even start” Simon said with a scoff.
“Not cultured enough? Are you serious right now? We know more than you do! Were the ones that talk one on one with fans all the time and we’re the ones who’ve been managing our socials for the past few years while on hiatus so we know exactly what reactions we would get, all you do is sit behind a desk all day assuming shit because your homophobic” Liam retorted, getting angrier by the minute at Simons disgusting behaviour.
“I’m not even having this discussion with you anymore, you know the rules and you know the consequences, if you end up stuck in this contract for five More years then it’s on you, don’t come crying to me about it when you fuck up your careers, now get out of here” Simon said sternly, pointing towards the door.
“Gladly” Louis said before grabbing his Adidas hoodie and storming out of the door, the lads following behind him.
Once out Louis broke out into a huge smirk, looking down to his phone to see the entire conversation had been recorded. Louis:1 Simon: 0.
“Well?” Harry asked as he looked at Louis expectantly.
Louis grinned and showed harry his phone, showing him the recording.
“We got evidence bitches” Louis said triumphantly.
“I mean, we still need more, but it’s good for now” Liam said with a smile.
Harry smiled at Louis and pulled him into a bone crushing hug, smiling into the crook of his neck widely.
Louis returned the hug and smiled so bright he thought his jaw might break from how wide it was.
Never did he think he would be walking out of a meeting with management with a smile on his face, but here he was, and it’s going to continue that way.
———————————————————————-
“Up the audio!” The sound manager shouted to his team from the stage, calling up to the rooms at the top of the stadium where all music and mic pitches were controlled.
The music playing was boosted up and it echoes around the empty arena, the speakers vibrating off the walls and the stage.
“Perfect” he called, sticking his thumb up so the team would know to stop.
The lads were going over their routine with Paul once again, this time it went a lot smoother. They now knew when to go on and off stage and their set list by heart, although Louis still couldn’t see which song harry was going to perform which he cursed at.
They could faintly hear the screams of the fans emitting from outside the arena. The lads were both excited and nervous, being that there were 20,000 people waiting in line to be let into the stadium.
It was crazy. They had completely sold out their world tour and they were kicking it off with an audience of 20,000, after all this time they had stuck around and they loved and appreciated it.
“Fucking hell this is gonna be mad” Louis said in amazement, listening to the screams and cheers of their fans from behind these walls.
“I’m so excited, I want to do it right now” Harry said, the adrenaline already pumping through his veins.
“Same, but oh well, it’s only and hour and a half now before it begins” Liam said, a wide smile crossing his face.
“Fuck, an hour and a half? I thought we had longer” Zayn said in disbelief.
“Time flies I guess” Niall shrugged.
“Right we better go get sorted then, we’ve got hair and makeup to go through before harmonies and outfits” Liam explained, gesturing for the lads to follow him after getting the approval from Paul to leave for the backstage area.
They walked through the corridors backstage, people from their team were running about frantically trying to get everything in order before the show begins. They finally made it to the dressing rooms where Louise and her team were waiting for them.
“Alright go get showers and then we can start okay” Louise said, pushing them in the direction of the bathrooms as she didn’t want to waste time.
“I already had one though?” Hardy whined.
“Well take another!” She retorted frustratingly.
“Alright alright we’re going jeez! Calm down woman we’ve got ages” Louis said with a laugh.
“An hour and a half is not as long as you think Louis, especially when it comes to you lot so get going” She retorted sassily, her hands resting on her hips.
Louis ignored her comment and rolled his eyes, walking towards the bathroom.
This bathroom was specially made for groups like the lads, having more than five showers in them so it would be easier to get ready for a show on time. So with that, Louis grabbed the things he needed for a shower and stripped down to his boxers just like the rest of the lads did.
“Hey, you know harry, seeming as your all about saving the planet and shit, why don’t you take a shower with Lou? You know, just to save water” Niall teased the man smugly, grinning like a madman.
Harry blushed and looked down at his feet before looking towards Louis, who was looking straight back at him.
He wouldn’t mind to be honest. It’s not like they haven’t seen each other naked before. But then again, won’t it be awkward? Like sure, they’re sort of together again, or at least getting there. But shower together? They’ve barely done anything but kiss so far. Okay harry snap out of it your thinking way to hard about this, he thought to himself.
Louis seemed to be having the same mental dilemma. Would harry want to? Were the lads even serious? Would it be awkward?
“Aww, look at them being so shy! They wouldn’t do it anyways” Niall said with a laugh, the other lads joining on in his laughter.
“Are you challenging me Nialler?” Louis suddenly said, whipping his head towards the lad with his eyebrows raised.
All Niall did was shrug, he didn’t actually expect Louis to take it seriously. It was just a joke. But the next thing he sees is Louis dragging harry into a shower stall by his hand. Wow ok.
“Shit Lou I almost fell!” Harry exclaimed, almost falling on the wet floor.
“Aww, too bad” Louis said with a smirk, turning his back to the man and turning the temperature up on the shower.
“Please, Whatever you do, don’t shag! We’re in the room and we’ve got to be on that stage in an hour and 20!” Liam shouted in disgust, Louis and harry laughing at the man.
After their laughter died down harry broke the silence.
“I didn’t think you’d take that seriously” Harry said in a hushed tone.
“Neither did I, but you know me, if someone says shit I have to act on it” Louis said with a small chuckle.
“Well, um, you weren’t planning on- um, you know” harry stuttered out, trying to find his words as he didn’t want to embarrass himself.
“What? Shag like they expect us to? No Harold, that needs to be done properly, not in a cheap shower at the back of an arena before going on stage” Louis said, grinning widely.
“Okay phew” Harry said awkwardly.
“What do you mean phew? I’m a great shag harry styles and you know it!” Louis said loudly, making the lads in the showers next to him scoff and laugh.
“I know you are babe, I didn’t mean it like that” harry said softly, smirking at the mans little outburst.
“What did you mean then hmm?” Louis said, tilting his head to the side.
“About it being done properly, I didn’t really want to get off in a cheap shower either” Harry explained with a smile, moving Louis wet hair off his forehead.
“Well ok then, you’ve redeemed yourself, now wash my back slave” Louis said with an expectant expression before turning around to face the wall.
“Bitch I’m not your slave” Harry retorted with a scoff but grabbed the shower gel none the less.
He squirted a decent amount onto a shower scrunchy and began scrubbing Louis back, trying his hardest not to look at Louis ass. I mean come on, how could he not, he thought to himself.
“Your weirdly good at cleaning” Louis said, closing his eyes at how nice it felt on his back, it felt like when you finally reach that itch and scratch it.
“I’ll take that as a compliment” Harry said with a chuckle, continuing to move the scrubber in circular motions.
“Lower” Louis said, to which harry complied with, moving it an inch lower.
“Lower” He repeated, making harry confused but he did as he was told, now scrubbing the mans lower back.
“Lower” Louis said once again, making harry furrow his eyebrows in confusion.
“Louis, if I go any lower I’m pretty much gonna be scrubbing your bloody arse” Harry said, rolling his eyes.
“Who said I didn’t want that?” Louis said smugly.
“Lou we cant-” Harry began But all of a sudden was trapped against the shower wall and Louis body.
“Who said we can’t?” Louis whispered in Harry’s face.
“You, just a few minutes ago” Harry retorted matter of factly.
Louis seemed to ponder it for a moment before muttering ‘fuck it’ and surged forward, smashing his lips against Harrys.
Harry was reluctant at first, knowing they shouldn’t be doing this right now, they had more important things to take care of. But he couldn’t help himself, and began to kiss the man back erratically, moving his hands lower and lower to grab Louis ass which the man responded to with a moan.
“Shh” Harry whispered with a smirk, flipping their positions around so that Louis was now against the shower wall.
And you guessed it, just as harry was about to continue what Louis had started, they got interrupted by the lads.
“What the fucks taking you so long, come on we’ve got to get ready!” Liam shouted from behind their shower stall.
“Why the fuck is everyone being such cock blocks lately!” Louis groaned, rolling his eyes and sighing.
“I did tell you not to” Harry said with a smirk.
Louis pushed harry away from him and grabbed his towel to wrap around his lower half before walking out the stall, trying to hide his obvious problem in the neather regions.
Harry soon did the same and followed the man out of the stall and into the changing area.
As they were just going to have to get changed again later on the lads changed into their boxers and made their way into the dressing room, knowing nobody from Louises team would care.
“Right sit down, we’ve got work to do” Louise said as soon as the lads entered the room, they then complied with her instructions and took a seat.
They went through the usual routine with hair and makeup and then it was time for outfits.
Everybody was wearing what was expected of them to suit their style, but they were all surprised when they saw Harrys outfit.
Plain, boring, old harry. Black skinny jeans, white t shirt, and brown boots.
“Mate are you feeling okay?” Niall asked harry when he saw his attire.
“Yeh why?” Harry asked, looking confused.
“Where’s the sparkles? The bold colours? The patterns? Where’s the Gucci!” Niall exclaimed, looking at harry in shock.
“Don’t worry about it” Harry said with a wink, but leaving the lads still confused.
“Whatever you say” Liam said with a sigh.
“Your on in ten minutes!” Someone from their backstage team called through the door, gesturing for the lads to follow him to the main stage area.
They got a couple of encouraging words from the hair and makeup team and some more whilst they were walking through the dark corridors, which they thanked them for and soon enough they were standing under the stage, ready to be shot off up onto from their platforms.
As they could hear the screams of the fans from the audience they huddled into a group, resting their arms around each other necks and leaning in close.
“Alright lads, we need to smash this, give it all you’ve got” Liam said encouragingly.
“Of course, and Niall, Don’t. Say. Chonce.” Harry said, pointing his finger sternly at the mans face.
Niall put his hands up in a gesture seeming to be surrender and crossed his heart, meaning to say he wouldn’t.
“Come on then, let’s do this” Louis said, putting his hand into the circle which the other lads did as well, resting theirs on top of each other before they chanted some words and lifted them into the air.
They took their places on the platforms that would push them up onto the stage and got ready for their que.
“3,2,1” A man said from behind them before they were shot off up to the stage, making there presence known to the 20,000 fans in front of them.
A sense of nostalgia hit them full force as they looked out into the crowd to see their fans smiling, crying, cheering, laughing. The signs were being held up, scattered around the sea of people and being waved around madly. The screams were deafening and the lads smiled widely at each other as the first beats of the music began to sound through the arena, vibrations coming from the floor beneath their feet.
Harry took a deep breath to calm himself before he brought the mic to his mouth and belted our the first few words.
“Hey angel, do you know the reasons why, we look up to the sky?”
