Italics - Louis Tomlinson

The room was almost empty as Louis taped off the last of the box in the room. Sighing, he stood up and made sure to check everything before walking towards another room where a certain brown curly haired boy was lying on the bed instead of arranging the boxes as he promised.

"I thought we had a deal?" Louis said with raised eyebrows as he leaned on the door frame and watched his surprised boyfriend with an eyebrow raised.

Harry pouted, trying to get out of the situation by trying to act cute. He knew Louis always has a soft spot for his cuteness.

"Don't babe me, Harry. We had a deal that you'd arrange the bedroom while I helped with the living room. It's almost time to go", Louis sighed again as he looked around the untaped boxes. And he thought he could trust Harry with this.

"I know you are tired but there's no time. Come on. Move your lazy ass. You promised 5 minutes now."

Harry sighed and walked over to where Louis was sitting taping the boxes and hugged him from behind, smiling at the familiar warmth and scent.

"What are you doing? Come on, you lazy oaf. Help me quickly", Louis scowled trying to push off Harry but he was too heavy for Louis, so he altogether gave up and leaned against Harry. He missed him as well, to be honest.

Louis melted in Harry's warmth as always. It was the last day of living together in an apartment for college. Louis had majored in management while Harry got a football scholarship with which he started playing for the state. They were moving away to their hometown after which they will decide what to do with their future. But they both knew that they needed each other no matter what. Five years had been hard for them when they had to stay away during the game season. But they found each other again and their love grew stronger.

"As much as I love cuddling with you, we've got to finish this soon, Haz", Louis laughed, laying his head peacefully on Harry's chest, trying to listen to the pace of his heartbeat.

, Harry just hummed and kissed the top of his head before standing up and stretching a little.

, Harry grinned.

Louis grimaced at the bad use of his pun but he couldn't help but smile at his silliness. Harry was too cute for his own good.

"Alright let's do this."

Harry asked, sipping his can of beer before looking at the far horizon where the sun was setting, a warm, orange glow, lighting up the sky.

Louis sighed from beside him, sipping his own can, before finding his way to Harry's arm where he laid his head.

"I don't know. I'm scared, to be honest even though its' been so long. I'm scared what the future holds for both of us but if it's with you, I'm willing to try."

Harry grinned.

Louis smiled and looked at him, "You have been a big influence on me with all your corny and too romantic words. It's about time."

, Harry smiled at the love of his life.

Louis had been nothing but his biggest inspiration all their time together. He never gave up on Harry whenever he had doubts. He never left Harry's side when Harry hated himself. He had always been there and Harry knew Louis will be there with him wherever he walked. And he couldn't even think the condition he would be in if Louis happened to leave him. Even though Louis assured him so many times, that fear managed to linger somewhere in his heart.

Harry was scared. Really scared but Louis' smile, his laugh, his annoyed face, his love, just Louis' everything, it all brought him back to reality. The reality that he was with the most amazing person who always made him happy, the one person who managed to chase away his demons and made him relive the moment so many times. He was happy and that was all that matters right now.

, Harry called out and Louis lifted his head from Harry's arm and gave him full attention, his face with confusion.

Harry tilted his chin towards him and leaned down hesitantly, his heart hammering a little too loudly. When their lips met, it was the same feeling; warm, safe and content.

Louis felt something was up because of the kiss. It was gentle, a sweet butterfly kiss.

"What's wrong?" Louis asked, gently rubbing Harry's hand that was softly resting on Louis' cheek.

Harry asked, a nervous smile on his face.

Louis' eyes widened a little when he realized what he was meaning to ask.

"You didn't", he managed to squeak out. His heart pounded so loudly, he was almost scared. It brought him back to that time when Harry cornered him to a wall and told him what he wanted.

It was happening, right then.

, Harry grinned and took out a beautifully designed ring from his pocket before gently putting it onto Louis' ring finger after which he entwined their hands together.

" Harry then got down on his knees and lovingly looked at the beauty in front of him.

Louis laughed, tears falling freely, "Of course, you idiot. I need you in my life just as desperately."

Harry grinned and stood up before cupping Louis' face and kissed him with all the love he had for Louis within himself. Both of them had smiled in their kiss after which Harry pulled away and rested his forehead against Louis'.

Harry asked, in a nostalgic daze and a happy smile on his face.

"What?" Louis asked, smiling.

Louis laughed, the sound a melody in Harry's ears. Sometimes Harry couldn't believe that the wrong call led him to someone so beautiful and amazing, a fighter. It all felt so surreal. But waking up next to Louis, he always told himself it was real. Now with Louis as his husband, his mornings filled with a person named Louis Styles, he would keep reminding himself that it was real and by his side, as his husband.

He really couldn't wait to know what the future held for them.
