Harry watched as another contestant walked out onto the stage to perform, getting a glimpse of Niall seated with the other judges. To say he was nervous was an understatement. He was terrified. Not because of the thought that he wouldn't get through, but because of the missing presence of Louis.

Where is he?

He promised he would be here..

"Lad, relax. You're shaking like a leaf." A hand was placed on the younger boy's shoulder, that belonging to Liam. "I'm sure he's just taking care of things." Zayn assured, though not sure of Louis' whereabouts either.

The only thing going through Harry's mind is where is Louis? He's scared that something bad might've happened to him.

"Let's give a round of applause for our cutest contestant on the show, Harry Styles!" Nick announced once the other contestant was offstage.

"What?! No! I can't- Louis isn't here yet!" The curly haired boy panicked. He was going to sing the song he had written for his first real crush, but he wasn't even there to listen to him sing it.

Anne went up to his son, kissing his forehead then looked him in the eyes. "I'm sure Louis has a valid reason for why he's not here. He probably feels horrible right now. But you not performing will make him feel worse, you wouldn't want that, right?"

Harry shook his head slowly.

"Make him proud, baby. He might not be here now, but you'll always be in his heart." Anne smiled warmly at her son, embracing him in a hug before watching him walk onto the stage bravely.

The crowd cheered louder once they saw the boy, the smile on Niall's face calming him a little. "Hey, buddy. What song are you going to sing for us today?"

"It's my own composition, actually." Harry admits shyly.

"Let's hear it, love." Mel B motions for him to go on. So he did.

Taking in a deep breath, he saw Niall giving him a thumbs up that got him to smile before he began singing.

"Now you were standing right there in front of me,"

The memory of him stood right in front of Louis from his first audition plays in his head.

"I hold on it's getting harder to breathe,"

He remembers how nervous he was because he thought he wouldn't have gotten through.

"All of a sudden these lights are blinding me,"

But he did.

"I never noticed how bright they would be."

And it was all thanks to Louis.

The young boy kept singing, though he wished Louis was there backstage, listening to him, knowing by the lyrics that the song was meant for him.

But he wasn't.

Well, that's what he thought.

"I'll keep my eyes wide open,"

Fans began squealing quietly as they watch their idol, Louis Tomlinson, run down some steps and stopped at the middle row section where he hoped Harry could see him.

"I'll keep my arms wide open.."

Harry curiously looked at the audience, confused on why he could hear girls squealing when his eyes land on his first real crush holding up a sign saying I'm your #1 fan!!! xoxo.

He almost forgot to sing the next part but thankfully he snapped out of his dazed state and sang with full passion.

"Don't let me, don't let me, don't let me go... Cause I'm tired of feeling alone."

Louis stared at his young boyfriend longingly, his song was directed to him and he told himself that he'll never let the boy go. Not now, not ever.

"Don't let me, don't let me go... Cause I'm tired of feeling alone."

Not even a minute later, Twitter exploded with thousands of tweets, all coming from fans saying how sweet Louis is and his way of supporting Harry.

Meanwhile in Instagram, many have posted the same picture a fan took of Louis where he was holding up his sign and smiling brightly at Harry, the people who shipped the two together were speechless yet blessed with what they're seeing through their screens.

thebaesicme: FUCK MY LIFE HE LOOKS SO PROUD OF HIS FROG BOYFRIEND THE FOND ON HIS FACE IS ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING AND MY SMOL SON LOOKS MORE IN LOVE THAN A FREAKING OLD MARRIED COUPLE FUCK GTG

rise_larry: WHY ISN'T THE SEXTAPE LEAKED ALREADY

Louis didn't care though. He knew he was going to get scolded by his management for pulling this gesture up in front of so many people LIVE. But nah, he'll deal with them after apologizing to Harry and telling him the reason behind why he's late to show up to his performance.

Just as he knew the song was nearing to the end, he locked eyes with Harry, mouthing 'my Hazza'

which got the young boy to smile as he sang the last words to his song.

"Cause I'm tired of feeling alone..."

Nearly the whole audience stood up, giving Harry a standing ovation, Louis applauding with them as the older boy had a proud smile on his face.

"That was wonderful, Harry." Heidi commented.

"Hmm, I wonder who it's directed to." Niall smirked, already knowing the answer.

"Let me just say this; I loved the song, I loved your performance, and I love you." Howie tells him. "You're a great kid, Harry. Keep it up."

"Thank you." Harry cheerfully nodded. After the judges finished giving out their comments for him, Harry rushed backstage where he was immediately engulfed in his mother's arms.

"Oh baby, they loved it! I'm so proud of you, darling." Anne says, letting go of her son and planting a kiss to his temple. "Your knight in shining armor awaits you, love. Go to him."

Harry turns around, his lips unexpectedly getting captured into another soft pair and he smiles once he realizes it's Louis. They pull away from the short but sweet kiss, now looking into each other's eyes before Harry speaks up, "why were you late, Lou?"

Shit. Louis cursed in his mind. How was he supposed to tell Harry without him bursting into tears? "Look, Haz, I need to tell you this but promise me you won't be upset." The tone lacing in Louis' voice made Harry nervous, but the boy managed to nod, swallowing the lump in his throat.

"Alright.." Louis inhales a deep breath before explaining his problem to Harry. "This morning, just when I was about to tell my driver to pick me up and bring me here, management called.. They said it was an emergency involving my family so I wasted no time to get to their office to know what happened. Turns out, they tricked me." Louis scowled, remembering their evil grins after they told him it wasn't a family matter for why they called him in.

"They began talking bullshit about why I shouldn't be dating you because it'll ruin my image but I don't really give a fuck! I've already came out to the world as bisexual with their approval but they don't like the idea of us being together!"

To say Louis was angry would be an understatement. He's furious. Listening to his management talk shit about Harry made his blood boil.

"They said they only approved of my sexuality because they thought I'd be more into girls but nope. To be honest, you're the only person I am attracted to." Harry blushed at that, covering his face with his big hands to hide the redness.

"But then they got mad at me and threatened to end not only mine but the boys' careers as well..." Harry gasps, tears brimming in his eyes because how can people be so cruel?

Zayn, Liam, Niall,and the Styles-Twists were all walking up to the two lovers with smiles but those soon dropped when they saw tears rolling down Harry's face. Anne rushed to her son's side, the mother in her taking full control. "Baby, what's wrong? Why are you crying?"

The young boy sniffed, trying to stop his tears but failing at it, though managing to choke out, "i-is being with the person y-..you love..wrong?" Hearing those words sent an aching feeling to Louis' heart. He can't believe he agreed to their deal in the first place.

"Heavens, no. Everyone, no matter what sex, race, color, etc. Has a right to love who they want. Some people are just too blind to see what true love means, may it be shown by two girls or two boys kissing or simply holding hands in public. Everyone has a right to love." Harry was so thankful for having such a wonderful mother. She understood. Unlike other mothers who would kick their children out just because they're gay.

"Harry, you shouldn't be crying because of sadness, it should be of joy cause you're through the last round along with two others! You can actually win this, bud!" Niall attempts to cheer the boy up.

Zayn placed a hand on Louis' shoulder, sensing that there was something up with him. "Lou? What happened?"

The older lad shakily breathed out, looking at Harry before answering Zayn's question. "I have to date some girl I don't give a fuck about because I was threatened by management that if I didn't want to break things off with Harry, I need to act like I'm into girls or else they'll end all of our careers." Louis confessed, voice cracking at the end. He went up to Harry, engulfing the crying boy in his arms and softly assured him. "But I promise you, Haz, there is nobody in the world I'd be willing to be with other than you... You're my whole world. And I wouldn't dare let you go and leave you alone."

Another sob escaped Harry. Not because of his fear of Louis leaving him, but because he trusted him well enough, with all of his heart, that he knew he wouldn't leave.

"Hey now, let's not over think this. It isn't such a big deal, now that I think of it." The older boy says, using his thumb to wipe at Harry's tears.

"I think you two deserve to spend time together, isn't that right, Anne?" Niall turns to the smiling mother, who nodded in reply. "Go on, lovebirds. Have this day to yourselves."

That's how Louis and Harry ended up going back to Louis' place, cuddling up to each other on the couch while they played on Love Actually (requested by Harry.) And eating ice cream.

The rest of their day was spent watching funny cat videos (again, requested by Harry. Who was Louis to say no to him?) As well as singing and dancing to random songs that were on shuffle on Harry's phone.

As they now lay down, snuggled up to each other in Louis' bed, Harry's head  on the older boy's chest while Louis rested his chin on top of the boy's curly hair, they sighed contently, enjoying each other's presence.

"Hey, Lou?"

"Yeah, Haz?"

"I love you." The words slip out of Harry's mouth without him thinking. Louis chuckled at his reaction, pecking his lips before replying back, "I love you, too... And I promise I'll be here to always look after you."

Both boys went to sleep that night with smiles on their faces. Sure, they'll have to hide their love from the public, but hey, they keep each other strong. They can make it.
