"Hey, love, I hope you won't see this until you're off, but I've decided to spam your phone," Louis says into Harry's phone.

Harry and Louis are currently both in LA, at their shared house. Both of their tours start/start up again quite soon. Today being May 10, means that Harry leaves for Denmark that night, his first show being on the 13th.

Meanwhile, Louis will have to stay all by himself in their large LA home for another two weeks. At least he'll have Bruce and Clifford to keep him company before he sets off for Connecticut.

Knowing that Harry likes scrolling through his camera roll when he gets bored, Louis decided to just take a bunch of random photos and videos.

"I miss you already, Haz. Just don't forget our two week rule, yeah? Oh! Remember that one time you changed your lyrics to 'two days and I'll be home' instead of 'two weeks' and the fans went crazy? If only they knew. "

Harry can be heard yelling from the other side of the house.

"Boobear? Have you seen my phone anywhere? 

"No, I don't think I have. Sorry, love!"

Louis looks back to the camera and laughs, "Don't be mad at me, Hazza. I'm just trying to have a little bit of fun!"

Throughout the rest of the day, Louis keeps Harry's phone and takes multiple pictures. He takes photos of him smoking on the bed (which he know Harry won't be too fond of), a picture outside where you can see trees and light wires behind him, he takes a photo at the pool of him in just swim trunks, a picture of his newly tattooed hand (which if anybody asks, he'll say it came to him in a dream... definitely not Pinterest), and several pictures of him with the dogs.

He texts all of those pictures to himself so he can post them to Instagram later, giving away subtle hints that he's still in LA and with his lover.

"Hazza, I found your phone!"

"Where was it?" Harry asks, turning around to face Louis.

"On the counter, you dolt. How could you have not seen it?"

"I don't know, but thank you, Pumpkin. I don't know what I'd do without you," Harry replied before pecking Louis' lips.

Harry turns back towards his open suitcase on the bed and starts folding clothes. Louis, hating being deprived of touch, hugs Harry from behind, arms around his waist and head resting on the back of his neck.

"I still don't see why I can't come with you for a bit. My tour doesn't start for two weeks," Louis says in a quiet mumble.

"Louis, babe, your rehearsals start on Friday. They need you here for that, your beautiful face is the one everyone's gonna be watching. It's important that you're there," Harry replies, trying to reason with Louis. Sometimes having a stubborn boyfriend can be challenging, they've talked about this exact subject every night in bed for the last month it feels like.

"I just miss you already, Sun," Louis says, tears starting to form in his eyes and pain audible in his voice.

Harry turns around in the arms holding him to comfort his long-term boyfriend, knowing his emotions like the back of his hand.

"Don't cry, Sweets, everything's gonna be fine."

Harry wraps his arms around Louis' waist, allowing Louis to just be held. Louis is grateful as he pulls his arms to his chest, both his fists, in their sweater paws, under his chin.

"I know, I know, we've done it before, it's stupid," he replies, wiping his eyes. Harry just holds on to him tighter.

After a few moments of silence, Louis speaks up again saying, "You're gonna wear the peace ring right, Haz?"

"I'm gonna be honest, Lou, I've lost a little bit of weight from my movie roles and getting ready for tour. It's not enough to even really be noticeable but it affected my hands so the ring keeps slipping off. I don't have time to get it resized and I don't want to lose it. I'd wear it every night if I was sure it wouldn't fall off, but I'll still bring it with me," Harry states with a small smile.

Louis let's out a thoughtful sound before pulling away from away from Harry's warmth.

"Do you have the ring with you right now?"

Harry nods and reaches deep into a pocket of his joggers and pulls out the ring and handing it to Louis.

"I have an idea, I'll be right back."

Louis hurries to the bathroom nearest the living room and starts going through the drawers.

"C'mon, I know it's here somewhere," he frustratingly whispers to himself.

"Aha!" he exclaims after finding it.

Walking back into the bedroom, he holds up the item he searched for.

"A chain?" Harry asked.

"Yep! If you attach the ring to the chain, you can wear it like a necklace and everyone will still see it!" Louis says while clasping the necklace behind Harry's neck.

"That's actually really smart, Lou."

Scene Change

Harry is resting on his plane when he notices himself getting gradually more and more bored. So, he does what he would usually do, scroll through his camera roll.

He expects to see his collection of random memes and videos, some of himself, some of Louis, definitely loads of Larry proof TikTok videos, but that's not what he gets. His photos open to an album full of Louis face. He can tell they were all taken earlier that day because of Louis' outfit (even though he pretty much wears the same thing everyday. He wears two things, Umbro and Harry's Jumpers/Shorts).

Harry let a small smile creep onto his face as he opened the first video.

"Hazzyyyy. I miss youuuu. You haven't even left yet but I'm really clingy right now. You're being mean," Louis says with a small pout, "You won't let me cuddle because you, 'need to pack.'"

The video ends with Louis saying, "You won't forget me when you're gone, right? I love you! Oh shit, you're coming.. wait... not like that... stop... crap-"

Harry laughs out loud as he switches to Messages, grateful for inflight Wi-Fi.

'I could never' he sends.

Not even two seconds later, Louis responds with a simple, '?'

'Forget you. You're too important to me, babe.'

'Awww, Hazza, you're too important to me too... but you found them already? You're not even there yet :('

'I got bored and I wanted to watch Larry videos but your face popped up instead :) I've got to go now, about to land, I love you, Boo. xx'

'Love you, baby.'

Scene Change

Three hours later, Louis received a text from Harry saying, 'Can't talk, heading to the venue, but check your photos .x'

"That little shit, he didn't," Louis mutters to himself, letting out a chuckle.

Opening his photos, he finds videos of Harry lying in the dark on their bed. Louis clicks play on the first one and the whisper of Harry fills the room.

"Hi, Lou!" he points the camera to the clock on his bedside table, the clock reading 4:03 in big red letters. He points the camera back to his face and continues.

"It's four in the morning but I haven't slept. I've just been holding you all night. I wriggled out of your grip earlier to go to the bathroom but you'd turned around by the time I was back so I became the big spoon. You're so cute when you sleep, I'm gonna miss this. I think that's why I haven't slept, I want this to last because I won't be able to see you for months."

After the video ends, Louis swipes to a photo that Harry took of himself the other day, this one already being all over Twitter.

He smiles looking at the photo, missing his lover, thinking about how much he loves his man.

Secret Videos must be part of their love language, their own thing that the world will never know about. 

The End
