Guess who's back?

Wikki, wikki, not slim shady.

"The show is tonight and I've got so much left to do! Get off me, Harry!" Louis whined, trying to push his boyfriend off of him.

"I wanna fuck," Harry mumbled, snaking his arm around Louis's waist.

"Sure. After the show," Louis said firmly.

Harry groaned, pulling away as Louis organized the programs and set them into a box.

"Louis, the show is ten hours away. Stop acting like it's in five minutes. Everything is set up. God, you're going to be hell on our wedding day."

Louis's head snapped around. "W-Wedding day?"

"Well, yeah, I do plan on marrying you," Harry said with a fond smile.

"We aren't even a month into our official relationship," Louis reminded the boy.

"Okay, but we've basically been together since we met," Harry said with a laugh.

Louis rolled his eyes, smiling softly at his boyfriend. "I do plan on marrying you as well, Harry."

Harry grinned, leaning in to kiss Louis's lips. The older lap kissed him for a bit but eventually pulled away to start setting things up to be taken to the school. Harry sighed and slumped onto the bed.

"Get dressed, you bum," Louis said with a laugh. "We've got to go set up! I'm so excited! I love performing!"

Harry couldn't help but grin as he pulled on a tank top, jeans, a flannel, boots, and, of course, a SnapBack.

"Harry, please take the bloody hat off," Louis groaned. "We're performing tonight-"

"I'll take it off in the show," Harry assured him as he slid his cross necklace over his neck.

Anne knocked on the already open door in order to gain their attention. "Hey, boys. I'm off to work. I'll see you tonight."

"You're coming?" Harry asked in surprise.

"Of course," Anne said with furrowed eyebrows. "You're singing in a talent show. That's a rare case and I want to hear my two baby boys sing."

Louis blushed a bit at the term of endearment. Two baby boys. Anne considered Louis as her own and it was an amazing feeling.

"Mum, how'd you even find out?" Harry grumbled.

"I do live here," Anne says. "I may not always be in the house but I do catch conversation of what's going on."

Harry rolled his eyes but his insides were wriggling in excitement. Harry didn't do anything like this so it felt good that his mum would be at the show tonight to watch Harry sing.

"I'm even more nervous now," Harry says as Anne bids them farewell.

Louis hummed and pressed a kiss to Harry's jaw. "Don't be, baby. Now, we've got to go."

Harry hummed and they left the house and went to the school. With the help of their friends and a few other volunteers, everything was set up by five that evening, two hours before the show and thirty minutes before performers start to arrive.

Liam, who was in charge of sound, was setting the equipment up while Calum, running lights, was in the back of the house, pressing kisses into Niall's neck.

{house: theater and performance term for the wide space around the stage where the seats are located and the audience sits... they are not literally in a house... in case anyone was confused (:}

"Get to work, Calum!" Louis yelled, causing Calum to scowl and shoot up his middle finger. Louis giggled. "He's such a dick."

Harry hummed, pulling Louis close to him. "I love you."

"I love you," Louis hummed. "What do you want?"

Harry snorted. "I don't want anything except you."

"And his beautiful soul," Niall says as he hops onto the stage.

"There are doors in the back of the building," Harry states.

"So?" Niall asked, a bit confused.

"Exit through those," Harry says with a smirk. Louis laughs.

Niall rolled his eyes, propping a hand on his hip. "Ha, ha."

"It was pretty funny," Zayn said quietly from his spot on the corner of the stage, testing out the amp for his guitar.

"Oh... Was not!" Niall grumbled.

Harry shrugs. "Wasn't my best one. It would only have the best results."

Louis was laughing so hard he hiccuped. "Get it!?" He wheezed. "Because if you left, you'd be gone! And that's the 'best result'!"

Harry watched the boy in amazement, shaking his head.

"Congratulations," Niall drawled out. "Your boyfriend is a genius!"

Louis just giggled some more.

~~~

"Niall! Are you ready!?" Louis asked, stumbling to adjust Niall's shirt. Niall was hosting the show and Louis had full confidence in him. But he was still nervous.

"Let go of me, you wanker," Niall said, rolling his eyes. "I'm hungry."

Harry handed over a Twizzler vine and Niall immediately began to chew on it. "Thanks."

"Okay, eat and then head out," Louis mumbled as Harry draped himself on Louis's back, holding him close.

"Calm down, baby."

Louis yanked himself away from Harry. "You've been awful calm, Harry. This show is important to me! I want it to go perfectly-"

"Because you're a fucking perfectionist," Harry snapped. "But not everything is going to be perfect, Louis."

Louis shook his head and left from Harry's sight. Harry said and stuck another Twizzler into his mouth.

Niall stepped out, telling everyone about the event and introducing Louis, since the boy had organized the whole event. He then announced the first act and the show started. It was going good before Louis stumbled in the dressing room Ed, Zayn, and Harry were sitting in.

"Oh, my God. One of the acts is sick and I can't find the person supposed to go on after him! I don't know what to do! I organized this so well and he has to get ill!"

"Louis," Harry said calmly. "Who goes on after him?"

"Some girl, Allison Rhodes."

"Okay. I'll go find her," Harry said, standing.

"But who-"

"I'll sing in her place," Ed said quietly. Zayn and Louis raised their eyebrows.

"Are you sure?" Louis asked quietly. Louis knew Ed was good but he also knew he could get stage fright in front of huge crowds.

"Yeah," Ed said, biting his lip. "Um... Anyone have an acoustic guitar?"

"I'll get Niall's! Thank you, Ed!" Louis cheered, hugging the boy before leaving.

"Any idea what you're gonna sing?" Zayn asked as Harry left to find the girl and tell her she'd go after Ed.

Ed shrugged. "An original, I suppose. I've written quite a few songs."

"I know you'll do good," Zayn said softly, brushing his fingers against Ed's jaw. The ginger blushed before leaning in to kiss Zayn's lips briefly. They'd only kisses once, on New Years' Eve, and haven't since.

Zayn hummed and Ed pulled away with a deeper blush. "Thank you. I'm going to get ready and inform Niall of the switch.

Soon enough, Ed was on the stage, face the color of his hair. "'Ello," he said into the microphone. "Um... I'll be performing an official called Drunk. Hope you lot enjoy."

And he starting singing. The whole audience fell into complete silence, not even a whisper. Everyone backstage was speechless as Ed sang even the first part.

"I wanna be drunk when I wake up, On the right side of the wrong bed. And every excuse I made up, Tell you the truth I hate What didn't kill me... It never made me stronger at all."

"He's really good," Harry said.

Louis smiled. "When we were little, we would sing little duets together. He was always shy about it, though. He has more in him than what he's doing now. Powerful voice."

"Maybe he should take my spot," Harry says, showing his first sign of nerves since the show started.

"Harry, you're going to sing with me," Louis said, sighing quietly. "You're amazing."

Harry nodded and listened to Ed. He really sounded amazing. The crowd went wild when he was done and the show continued on. Luke's band played and then it was finally time for Harry and Louis to go.

They stepped onto the stage as Niall was still introducing them.

"Good luck, baby," Harry said into Louis's ear. The boy giggled and pressed a fleeting kiss to Louis's jaw before the music started.

Louis loved this song. Not only did he get to sing, but he got to act, because him and Harry weren't close to breaking up. They were so in love and Louis just loved Harry so fucking much. It was the only thing on his mind as the music started up.

"We made a fire, Went down in the flames. We sailed an ocean, And drowned in a wave. Built a cathedral... But we never prayed. We had it all, yeah, And we walked away," Louis started, stepping towards the front of the stage, all eyes on him until Harry's voice spoke up, only a tad shaky before it was booming through the auditorium, loud and beautiful.

"Point of no return And now it's just too late to turn around. I try to forgive you, But I struggle 'cause I don't know how. We built it up so high and now I'm fallin'. It's a long way down. It's a long way down from here."

Cheers erupted through the auditorium and Louis held back a giggle before continuing, "We had a mountain But took it for granted. We had a spaceship, But we couldn't land it. We found an island, But we got stranded. We had it all, yeah, Who could've planned it?" He stepped towards his boyfriend and Harry's eyes burned like fire, sending goosebumps up Louis's spine.

"Point of no return And now it's just too late to turn around.

I try to forgive you, But I'm struggling 'cause I don't know how. We built it up so high and now I'm fallin'. It's a long way down from here. Such a long way down from here. It's a long way down. It's a long way down. Such a long way down. It's a long way down. It's a long way... down."

Everyone was standing and Louis practically ran at Harry, jumping into his boyfriend's arms. "Harry, you did so good!" Louis said over the cheering of the crowd.

"You, too, love. Such a good voice you have, honey," he mumbled.

Louis giggled before dropping down and saying into the microphone, "Thank you for coming out tonight!"

Harry and Louis went backstage before going to down into the house to see Harry's mother. She wrapped her arms around Harry. "Baby! That was so good!"

"I almost cried." Harry whipped his head around and grinned when seeing Gemma. She giggled. "Can I have a hug?"

Harry immediately hugged her and Louis couldn't stop smiling. He was so happy. He couldn't wait to marry this man.

That chat with Anne and Gemma before deciding they could all go out to dinner before Anne had to go back to work and Gemma had to start heading home because she had work around noon tomorrow and the drive was long.

Harry snaked an arm around Louis's shoulders. "And then... We get the house all to ourselves."
