Flashback:

“How could you to this to me?” Harry exclaimed as he threw open the dressing room door, only to be met with the confused eyes of his band members and the entire hair and makeup team.

He didn’t care though. He didn’t care if these people watched Him break down. He didn’t care if they heard the truth. He needed to confront Louis and he was going to do it now.

“Haz, please” Louis began, a look of realisation crossing his face, but he was cut off by Harry.

“No Louis, you know what you fucking did, how could you?” He once again asked, tears streaming down his face.

“I- I didn’t mean to I swear Haz just listen to me” he pleaded.

“Don’t even dare call me that name after what you’ve done” he said, shaking his head.

“Haz- Harry, come one lets just talk about this in private” Louis asked softly, giving Harry a stern look while grabbing his arm and attempting to pull him out the door.

Harry quickly snapped his arm back as if he had just been burned.

“What the fuck do you think your doing? You don’t tell me when and where I talk” he scoffed, throwing a disbelieving look towards the man.

“What? You think I’m gonna do what you tell me to after you willingly fucked the girl you apparently can’t stand? The girl who our relationship has been tied to and brought down by for the past four years? Your fucking crazy” He exclaimed, more tears pouring out of his eyes like a waterfall.

Many of the people in the room gasped at that, being the first time they had heard the news. Some even turned a disappointed look towards Louis, who cowered down in shame at his actions.

“Please, Haz- dont” Louis stuttered our, choking on his words through the tears threatening to fall.

“I’m so fucking done. We, are done” Harry said finally, walking out the room, slamming the door, and leaving a broken Louis behind.

End of flashback

Harry bolted upright in his bed, breathing heavily with tears in his eyes.

He still couldn’t escape from that damn memory.

It was haunting him, no matter how hard he tried to move on, to forget about the incident, he always had this moment lingering in the back of his mind.

Harry took a deep breath and sighed, running his hands through his hair before standing to go get a glass of water from the small kitchen in his hotel suite.

He downed the water and stood there for a moment thinking about what mess he was in.

He wanted to forgive Louis so badly, wanted to move on from the past, but with everything that happened he doesn’t know how he will find the strength to be able to completely forgive the man with blue eyes.

A month ago he would never dream of forgiving Louis, of being even civil with him. But after spending weeks with him, he realised that by holding this grudge, he was preventing himself from a happy life.

He knew he could only be truly happy with Louis, even after what he had done, so that’s why he decided to let down his walls a bit.

It would take time, thats for sure. But he was willing to put the effort back into their relationship if it meant he could live a somewhat normal, happy life. With Louis.

————————————————————————

The next day:

Today the lads had their interview with Ellen.

This would be their second to last interview before they flew back to the uk to begin their interviews in their home country.

However, Louis knew one thing the other lads didn’t.

Technically, he wouldn’t be attending the interview. Elio would.

He would be portraying a character named Elio Parker and while the other lads would be sitting through an interview, he would be watching on from the audience.

Ellen has personally called him early this morning asking him to come in to the studio so he could be disguised by a makeup artist using special effects makeup.

His job was easy. He would simply sit and watch until he was caught.

Ellen would be discreetly throwing hints at the boys to do with Louis’ character and they would have to try find him by the end of the show. If they find him, everyone in the audience would get some sort of prize, if not, well, Ellen would probably give them something anyways knowing her. But they didn’t need to know that.

So, with that, Louis declined the lads offer at getting breakfast with them and instead headed over to the studio with Paul.

“Alright Ellen” Louis greeted upon seeing the Niall look a like. Their similarities were freakishly accurate.

“Louis, nice to see you again. Okay, no time to talk. This is your makeup artist, her name is Lauren Mychal, she goes by the name Glam and Gore on YouTube and she’s very good at what she does. Sooo, I will leave you with her to get started and come find me when your finished” She explained before walking away again.

“Ok, what do you have planned for me then?” Louis asked with a smile, taking a seat at the vanity.

He was a little intimidated by all the prosthetics and equipment displayed in front of him but ignored it, he has been through this process before.

“I was thinking some sort of fat, old man look. You can wear a fat suit under your clothes and I will give you a double chin, the lot. How about that?” She said with a small chuckle, ready to make the handsome man look unrecognisable.

“Sounds good, I’m ready when you are” He said with a shrug.

She began with a bald cap, which already made him look completely different but this was only the start.

She then covered his eyebrows completely using glue, concealer and powder, making him look like some sort of alien having no hair at all.

This process followed through with adding on the double chin made from liquid latex and a beard that had countless grey hairs with in it. The same coloured hair got placed on top of the bald cap, leaving a bald patch in the middle. His fake eyebrows were bushy and dark but were somewhat covered by his glasses perched on top of his nose. The last few steps were just finishing touches, adding the makeup on to appear older, she drew on wrinkles and blemishes to look like ageing skin and then they were on to the final part. The fat suit.

This was surprisingly the hardest part as Louis had to stretch in unimaginable ways just to get the fucking thing on. It was made 10 times harder when they had to be careful that they didn’t obscure the makeup while pulling it over his head.

By the time they were finished Louis didn’t even recognise himself. He actually laughed at his reflection the first time seeing his full look. There was no way the lads would find him in the crowd.

“Holy shit, this is amazing” he said with a snicker.

“Your welcome” she said proudly, looking at Louis as if he was her best piece of work yet.

“Seriously, this is amazing. You do what? YouTube?” He asked, bewildered that this girl hadn’t gotten her big chance yet. She should be working on movie sets.

“Yeh, that’s how I started out. I’ve gotten a pretty large following on there now anyways so it’s not so bad” she said with a smile.

“You should be working on movie sets or some shit” he said, voicing his thoughts.

“Well, I do what I can” she replied modestly.

“Let’s go find Ellen, wonder if she’ll recognise me” he said with a mischievous glint in his eyes.

Louis walked through the backstage area and out into the open area of the studio where the stage was, he saw Ellen talking to a set manager and just as he was about to tap her on the shoulder, she turned around, eyes wide.

“Why’s there a homeless man in the studio” she called out after a moment of silence.

“Oh my god, Ellen I love you!” Louis exclaimed in a different voice, pretending to be a fan.

She just stood there and stared at him for a moment, then a smirk etched its way onto her lips.

“Tomlinson, I know it’s you” she said in a bored tone.

“Damn it” Louis seethed out, causing the woman to laugh.

“When this was my idea in the first place and I knew you were gonna be having your makeup done, of course I’m going to know it’s you when a weird homeless man walks into the studio” she explained, giving Louis some hope that the lads still won’t know it’s him.

“Guess your right” he huffed out.

“To be honest though, if I didn’t know the plan I would never have guessed that this was you” she said, gesturing to Louis’ appearance.

“Yeh, she did a good job didn’t she, make sure you pay her right” he said with a smug look.

“Your the millionaire, you can pay!” She said with her arms up.

“Ellen”

“What?”

“Your a millionaire too” he said with his hands on his hips, eyebrow quirked.

“Whatever”

And with that she walked away, leaving Louis to prepare for the show.

————————————————————————

“Ladies and gentlemen here tonight we have a special guest, it’s one direction” she announced, causing the audience to scream.

Louis decided if he’s gonna look the part, he may as well act the part.

He quickly stood up from his chair as the lads were walking on stage, clapping loudly. He then brought his hands to he mouth and shouted.

“Oh my god! One direction! I love youu, be my baby daddy!”

Yeh, he regretted that one.

The lads took notice of him but thought nothing of it, laughing slightly and rising their eyebrows at one another as if to say ‘who the fuck is this dude’.

Ellen winked at him before Louis took his seat once again, thinking up all the ways he could embarrass the lads tonight.

He held all the power and there’s nothing they could do about it.

“Welcome back boys, long time since you were last here” Ellen said, beginning the interview.

“Yeh, good to see you again” Harry replied, being the closest one to her.

“I think your missing a band member though” she said with raised eyebrows, faking a confused look.

“Uhh, yeah, about that. We have no clue where Louis is” Niall answered, scratching the back of his neck.

The audience chuckled, completely oblivious to the fact that he was sat amongst them.

Louis turned to the person next to him, it was a girl, probably about 18 or 19, and she seemed to be a fan. He smirked before leaning close to the girl and whispering to her.

“Louis isn’t here” he said, causing her to snap her head towards him with a weird look on her face, eyebrows furrowed.

“Uhh, Yeh. And?” She said, wondering why this strange man was talking to her.

“He’s a smol bean, he’s in my back pocket” he said with a wink and then turned back to the show.

Louis wasn’t supposed to notice how the girl moved a sufficient amount of space away from him after that.

Louis knows he’s small, he really does. But he wouldn’t admit that without his costume. So why not do it now?

It seemed that the boys were now on a different topic than him, he didn’t know what they were on about, probably tour, but he did catch the hint that Ellen dropped.

“You know what my favourite memory is of you guys?” Ellen asked with a smug look.

“What?” Zayn replied.

“When you all got put into special effects makeup and went around London in them ridiculous outfits” she said with a laugh, playing a small clip of the video on the screen behind her.

Louis smiled at the video, missing the old times like that.

The boys laughed at their appearances on screen, shaking their heads in amusement.

“Yeh that was a good day. Took forever getting all that removed though” Liam said with a grimace.

“Oh really? Does anyone here in the audience know how long it takes?” Ellen asked the crowd.

Louis then spoke up again, feeling confident that he wouldn’t get caught.

“An hour or more, depends on how many prosthetics your wearing” he said in his thick, fake accent.

For a second he thought the boys were looking at him weirdly, he thought he had been caught. Harry was especially taking a good long look at him, even when the other lads had turned away. But he soon shrugged it off and turned back to Ellen.

“Thanks for that” Ellen told Louis, who nodded in response.

The girl besides him was now also looking at him suspiciously, with piercing eyes looking over his facial features, but like the other lads, she turned her attention back to the show.

After a while of more and more hints the lads didn’t seem to be catching on at all. So, Ellen stepped it up a notch.

“Okay now we’re going to play a small game where you will be blindfolded and have to guess what object your feeling. If you would just like to pop these on” She explained, handing them each a blindfold which they pulled over their eyes.

Ellen started out easy, a box was placed in front of them containing a kiwi. Ironic huh.

They took it in turns feeling the object, scared at first until they realised it wasn’t some terrifying insect or disgusting rotten food, never mind something rude.

They all guessed right but really it was Liam who guessed it right first, so they boys could just thank him if they originally didn’t know the answer.

“Okay just a moment, we’re bringing out the next object just in a second” she said with a smirk.

Ellen then shushed the audience and gestures for Louis to come down stage as quietly as he could.

He tiptoed down the stairs and when he reached the stage he turned and winked at the audience. It seemed some people may have clicked onto who he really was as a stunned looks crossed their faces.

“Okay this one is quite a bit bigger so it isn’t in a box this time, i will guide you to it, make sure you get a real good feel of this one” she said, trying hard not to laugh.

She took Niall’s hand and guided him over to Louis. He hesitantly poked Louis artificial tummy and immediately drew his hand back.

“Ew what on earth was that” he said with disgust.

The audience as well as Louis burst out laughing, he quickly had to cover his mouth in order for them not to hear his little slip up.

“Come on, you barely touched it” Ellen provoked, pushing Niall into him.

“Okay this is definitely a person” he then said, reaching up to feel his bald patch.

Louis was trying so hard not to laugh, covering his mouth as Niall stepped away, clearly having enough of this one.

“Any ideas?” Ellen asked.

“Felt like a person to me but I have no idea who” he said, not taking his blindfold off as she had instructed.

The same thing happened with Zayn and Liam, both going a little further with the exploration, prodding at his fake nose and chin, but they still couldn’t work out who he was.

It was then Harrys turn.

Ellen brought the tall man over to him, Harry put his hands on Louis’ much now wider shoulders and moved up to feel his face.

“Yeh it’s a person, but, is there something on their face or what? It feels mushy” he said with a pout of confusion.

“Why don’t your find out” Ellen said, egging him on.

He then picked at his fake chin, the makeup moulding into his fingers and a small piece even falling off. He immediately drew back his hand, terrified at what he had just done.

“Ew what the fuck! What is this shit? Botched plastic surgery?” He exclaimed, wiping his hands on his trousers.

Louis couldn’t help but laugh at that, which was a mistake as Harrys head snapped up and he peeled his blind fold off immediately.

“Wait a second” Harry said timidly, he looked at Louis for a second before once again moving his hands towards his face, picking at the makeup that was peeling on his chin.

The audience watched with wide eyes as Harry peeled off what he could of the makeup. He then went for it and pulled back the bald cap, revealing a mound of soft, feathery brown hair.

He knew it was Louis.

“Louis what the fuck” Harry exclaimed with a laugh, bringing his hand to his chest as if to check his heartbeat.

“Alright Hazza” He said with a smirk. He now also didn’t have to worry about slipping up on nicknames as they had a new contract for the month.

“Jesus you scared me, I thought I had just peeled off a random persons skin” he said, pulling Louis into a hug and laughing into his shoulder.

“Well technically you did, you peeled off Elio’s skin” Louis said sarcastically, gaining a head shake from Harry.

“All right, with that you can thank Harry as your all now getting gift cards to apple!” Ellen shouted to the audience, the crew bringing out a display of what they would be receiving.

The crowd cheered and Louis returned to the lads, having a successful prank if he did say so himself.
