“And the winner, of best British solo artist goes to… Harry Styles!”
The room filled with applause as Harry was announced winner; even more so than usual due to the events earlier on in the show.
Harry’s jaw dropped in shock before splitting out into a wide grin across his face, his dimples showing and pearly whites gleaming. He stood up on shaky legs and was immediately pulled into Louis’ arms as the man engulfed him in a bear hug.
“I knew you would win Hazza, I fucking knew it” Louis whispered into his ear as harry smiled into the crook of his neck, closing his eyes and letting the moment sink in as he listened to the ongoing applause and cheers.
“I love you so much, you deserve this, all of it” Louis continued, feeling so proud and happy that his boyfriend had succeeded just as he knew he would.
“I love you too, I couldn’t have done this without you” Harry mumbled back to him as he pulled away from the hug, his heart racing with adrenaline.
“No, this was all you Haz, go get that trophy babe” Louis pressed, gesturing for Harry to go and collect his award that was waiting in the grasp of Stevie Nicks’ hands, the same woman who had travelled all the way from America just to present this very award to the man she had grown to cherish and adore.
Harry gave a brief nod and quickly hugged the rest of the lads who all congratulated him on the win before he began walking towards the stage stairs. But just as quick as he walked away, he walked right back and grabbed Louis by the neck to slam their lips together in a heated kiss.
Louis was surprised at first but soon got himself together and returned the kiss with just as much passion whilst the audience erupted into screams and cheers for the action, along with the odd whistle sounding from cheeky people in the back of the room.
Harry pulled away from the kiss with a grin and sent Louis a wink before jogging up to the stage, ready to collect his award. Behind him, the entire room were on their feet congratulating him, with proud smiles on their faces for the man who had shown pure bravery to each and every one of the throughout the event.
Once on stage, harry greeted Stevie with a hug and a kiss on the cheek, thanking her for showing up even with such a long journey. She merely waved him off with a warm smile and gestured for him to take his stand at the podium.
With a shaky breath, harry turned to face the room, trophy in hand and a sparkle to his green eyes as he watched everyone clap for him. After a moment, he shook his head and began his speech, every single person in the room listening intently as silence overshadowed them.
“Well, what a crazy night this has been, I’m sure you’ll all agree?” He began with his signature smile, the audience nodding in agreement.
“I didn’t expect any of this to happen, not just the revelation, but the award too; which I’ll start with first. Even after a decade in this industry, it still amazes me how often I get to experience moments such as these. Being up against all the other incredibly talented nominees makes me realise how special the opportunity this life has given me. And to win, makes me realise how important a role I play in other peoples lives, and how badly I want to use my recognition to my advantage for the better. I don’t care for the money, or the fame, what I care about is using my voice to put out a positive message that others wouldn’t get a chance to” Harry said in a slow drawl, the words sounding crisp and clear in his deep voice that was amplified by the microphone. He looked up to the fans seats before continuing.
“So I owe it to my fans really; I want you to know that weather your black, white, gay, straight, bisexual, trans, whatever you are and whoever you want to be, I support you, I love you, and I couldn’t have done any of this without you” Harry said proudly as he counted off the people on his fingers, causing the entire room to burst out into more applause.
“And to provide you with the music I have I couldn’t have done it without my incredible band. Sarah, Mitch, Adam And Claire, I love all of you and I deeply thank you for sticking by me through my terrible dancing on tour” Harry said sarcastically with a small chuckle, gaining another reaction from the crowd.
“Of course I worked with others on the album, such as Jeff bhasker, Alex salibain, Tyler Johnson and Kid Harpoon, again, thank you for helping me create my first and second albums, you guided me through the process each step of the way and I honestly would have been clueless without you all”
“I’d like to thank my family, Mum, Gems, I love you with all my heart and I don’t thank you enough for all the support you’ve given me throughout my entire life” Harry thanked and blushes slightly when the audience cooed at him.
“I’d like to thank the lads. I met you in 2010, a complete coincidence that we happened to be put into a band together, but god it was the best thing that has happened to me in my entire life, or, well, the second” Harry paused and glanced over to Louis. “I’m glad I entered the industry with the four of you, I’d probably have been terrified and clueless if I hadn’t, but you always had my back each time something would go wrong. The majority of my best memories were spent with you guys and they will stick with me for the rest of my life. Each of you are incredible solo artists, but I’d like to say I prefer it when we’re a team, and in that case I’m over the moon to be sharing a stage with you once again. So thank you for the love, support, memories and I can’t wait for the future alongside you all”
Below the stage the lads were smiling from ear to ear after hearing the heartwarming speech, tears prickling their eyes from the beautiful words the man above them spoke. They felt deeply connected to Harry, seeming as they had known each other for so long, and hearing him pour his heart out to them after so long of bottled up emotions and miscommunication it was like they had travelled back to the early days of one direction where this type of love was shared daily.
“And lastly, I’d like to thank my boyfriend, Louis William Tomlinson” Harry breathed out, staring the blue eyed man in the eyes as if no one but them were in the room.
“Fuck it feels good to say that in public” Harry said with a sigh as the audience laughed slightly. “After tonight’s events, all of you know the truth now, however I’m sure you’re still a bit confused as you don’t know the details. I’m not going to go into too much depth, because that would be years worth of story telling which I don’t have the time nor energy for, but I’m sure you’ll be finding out a lot more in the near future anyway” Harry continued with a grin, laughing as some fans in the audience protested, clearly wanting to find out as much as they could right here and then.
“But yes, I’m very much gay, proudly of it. And many people have had their assumptions in the past revolving my sexuality, but like I said then and like I say now, my sexuality doesn’t define me as a person and I’m not one for labels. I’ve loved Louis Tomlinson since I was sixteen, straight out of the X factor, and to this day I still get butterflies and shit just from being in his presence. He is my strength, my world, my life, he is my everything. Louis, I love you with all my heart and I always will; there’s no doubt in my mind that I will spend the rest of my life with you. You’re funny, smart, beautiful, talented, compassionate, determined, strong; the list could go on but I’d be stood here all night. I will be here with you always for love and support just as you are with me”
Harrys speech left the audience stunned, eyes glazed over as they listened to him pour his heart out to Louis. It was pure, honest and from the heart; they all knew it. And Louis was in bits. Happy tears trailed down his cheeks as he stared up at his boyfriend, thinking to himself how he could’ve gotten so lucky. The lads threw their arms around Louis’ shoulders as a form of comfort, smiling knowingly as they watched Louis drift into his own world that consisted only of him and Harry.
Once the speech was over Louis broke out of his trance when he heard the loud applause around him and the lads patting his shoulder. He blew a kiss to harry and mouthed the words ‘I love you’ in which the man reciprocated.
“Anyway, I won’t bore you any further with my sappy love speech, but I want you to know how thankful I am not just for your support tonight, but for the support you’ve all shown me throughout my career. I feel welcomed and accepted in this industry, which I haven’t felt in a long time; so again thank you for that and I wish you all the best for the future. Goodnight”
Harry finished and waved off to the audience, pressing his hands together in a prayer action as a thanks before leaving the stage with his award clutched in his grasp.
“Damn, that was one good speech” Niall said as harry left the stage, a smile seemingly permanently stuck to his face.
“You’re telling me. He’s gotten everyone in fucking tears” Liam said with a chuckle as he looked around the room to see exactly what he had just described.
“Fuck sake, now I want a relationship” Niall whined, causing the lads to laugh and grip his shoulders with sympathetic looks.
“Lou, you good mate?” Zayn asked Louis, who was stuck inside his own head.
“Oh, yeah, more than good. Just a bit shocked really” Louis replied once he snapped out of his trance, smiling at the lads to reassure them.
“I would be too if someone poured his heart out to me like that on national television” Liam stared with a shake of his head, Niall and Zayn agreeing with him with a nod of their heads.
“Wasn’t too cheesy was it?” Harry suddenly spoke up from behind them where he was walking out from backstage, a huge grin on show.
“God no, that was the sweetest thing I’ve ever fucking heard, I don’t think lou will recover from it to be honest” Niall joked, gesturing to Louis who was once again, staring at harry.
“Well, I meant every word” Harry said gently as he pecked Louis on the lips before taking a seat next to him, placing his award carefully on the table.
“Haz, that speech was fucking incredible, I can’t get over it. I love you so fucking much” Louis said breathlessly as he was still trying to wrap his head around it, pulling Harry into another kiss to show just how much it meant to him.
“I love you too, I’m glad you liked it” Harry said softly, moving the hair away from Louis’ eyes delicately. “Oh, and whilst backstage I saw Jack and Kelsey, they said they’ll wait for us at the club where the after party is being held, so we can catch up and all that” He continued, as if just remembering it.
“That’s good, at least it’s sorted then. I was worried they were just gonna leave, but I want some answers first” Louis said with relief, glad he would be able to get the answers he was dying to ask for.
“We can head there as soon as the event is over, so, about an hour at most?” Harry asked, unsure how long the event even lasted for.
“Sounds good to me” Louis agreed with a shrug, giving one last peck to Harry’s lips before the next award was announced.
________________________________
On the pavement, various celebrities where being escorted from their luxurious cars into the venue for the after party.
Multiple flashes were going off from all different directions as the paparazzi yearned for their best shots.
The atmosphere was buzzing with excitement as people of the community hung around the area, waiting to see if their idols happened to be attending the booming party. One direction fans were in luck as the lads stepped out of their car with Paul guarding them.
A frenzy took place as harry and Louis made their way in to the public eye, arm in arm for everyone to see, because they had no reason to hide their affection any more.
Every single person who had watched the Brits knew what had happened, they were going crazy over it. The majority of people shouted their support to them as they made their way inside the crowded club, but of course, a few insults lingered in their ears of which they chose to ignore; they couldn’t let anything deter their good moods after such an incredible day.
As they walked through to the more secluded part of the club, many people stopped the couple to send them words of encouragement in which they thanked them for and continued their search for Jack and Kelsey.
It would have been impossible for the two siblings to get into the club had it not been for the lads, seeming as this party was for A listers only and they were merely distant friends. So with one phone call they had their names on the list.
“Oi, Harry!” A familiar voice shouted, gaining his attention as he turned and saw Jack and Kelsey gesturing for them to come over.
After a minute of pushing their way through crowds they finally situated themselves in the private booth with the pair, greeting them briefly as they took their seats.
“I’m guessing your looking for some answers?” Kelsey asked with a smirk as she sipped from her cocktail, a vibrant blue colour with a straw and mini umbrella sticking out the side of it.
“Just a few, were all still a bit confused” Louis replied with a nod, sinking into Harrys arms on the comfy seats.
“Well, I’m all ears, I’ll answer everything honestly” She said truthfully, smiling in reassurance.
“Right, um, obviously we already know how you did it as you’ve explained it, but I don’t understand why? What spurred you to do it now?” Louis asked with a shake of his head, eyebrows furrowed together.
“It’s been a long time coming hasn’t it? I’ve been a fan of yours for years, always had the idea that the two of you were a thing like many others believed, and, I don’t know, I guess I just wanted the security of knowing I was right, if that makes any sense? Like now I’ve done it, I feel more at ease with my ideas, I know now that I wasn’t conjuring up silly stories based off of internet theories. I was right, as were many others, and it seemed like the right time. Because my brother had met Harry, then there was the reunion, then all the new Larry content we were getting. It was just the perfect timing really, and what better way than to do it on national television. Although, I must say it would have been pretty awkward if I had gotten the whole thing wrong”
She said with a laugh, shrugging her shoulders as if what she was saying didn’t make sense at all, but it was perfectly clear to the lads in what she was trying to say; they understood her.
“No I understand, we wanted to thank you actually” Louis said as he looked at harry with a smile.
“Oh? Why though? I thought you would’ve been angry because I practically outed you” Kelsey asked with a shocked expression, assuming she would’ve gotten the worst reaction possible.
“No of course not, you’ve done us a favour. For years we’ve had to hide away, always ridiculed for our love for one another. We got homophobic insults spat in our faces every single day, for absolutely no reason. A times we could just be talking to one another, and Simon would come over, pull us apart and call us fags”
“That’s awful” She said in a pitiful but angered tone.
“I know, He actually caused us to break up before the hiatus, he set up this whole PR scheme without us knowing, but you’ll find out more about that another time; it’s not important right now. Anyway, we had dealt with the abuse for years on end and finally decided we were going to do something about it. We had planned to file a law suit against him using the evidence that you stole, no worries about that by the way, at least you didn’t use it against us” Louis said with a laugh, noticing her flinch at the mention of the stolen evidence.
“Yeah, that would’ve been rough” She said, scratching the back of her neck with a small chuckle.
“So, like I was saying we were gonna have to plan this whole law suit, which could’ve easily taken years for us to handle and it would have been extra stress that we didn’t need. You coming there tonight and exposing him like you did actually took a weight off our shoulders, not just for me and Harry, but for all us lads because this was affecting each of us. I think the reason we’re not so bothered about you outing us is because we’ve had to go through so much of the same shit over the years, it’s nice to finally have it taken care of. Plus, I’m pretty sure we’ll get roped into doing a documentary or some shit on it in the future explaining everything so we can still get one thing we wanted to do out of it. You’ve just done the hard part for us, now we can express everything in our own ways and through different projects; so thank you, really, it means a lot that you put so much work and effort into it”
Louis finished his mini speech and saw that Kelsey was holding back tears. He cooed at the girl and pulled her into a hug.
“Darling don’t cry, what’s wrong?” Louis asked in a hushed voice, feeling sympathetic for the girl.
“Sorry, I’m being silly” she said with a laugh, pulling away from Louis to wipe her tears.
“No you’re not, your probably just overwhelmed” Harry said with a smile, rubbing the girls back to comfort her.
“Yeah, I guess I am. I think it’s just a bit much because I’ve wanted to do this for so long, so badly, and now that it’s finally happened and I was right, and to have your support and gratitude through it, it’s all I could’ve ever asked for. Thank you for being so understanding” She said kindly, calming down a bit as the seconds passed.
“No, thank you for finally sorting this shit out for us. Like damn, we’ve been trying to figure out a way around this for months and you’ve just gone and clocked it in a few weeks. I’m just glad we don’t have to go through with the fucking law suit” Niall said as he laughed, causing the girl to cheer up more and her face to brighten.
“Well, no problem then. I’m glad I could help” Kelsey replied before downing the last of her drink.
“Thanks for helping her as well mate, I never even knew you had a sister” Harry said with a confused expression towards Jack.
“Just never came up I guess, but no worries, I’m glad I could help you guys and my sister at the same time, I feel like this is my good deed of the day or some shit” Jack replied with a shrug.
“Well, enough with the serious talk. Let’s fucking party!” Liam shouted before pulling Zayn away to get some drinks, leaving a table of laughter behind him.
For the rest of the night, the lads drank way too much, danced like mad men and sung at the top of their lungs to various different songs, all whilst getting to know their new friend throughout the time they had at the club.
She turned out to be kind, funny and even had a bit of sass to her. The lads knew they would be staying in contact with the girl, seeming as she wanted all the updates on the next few months regarding their coming out.
They knew it was going to be hectic, but they had each other, and they could get through just about anything.
