Also, where did all the comments go? On my first few oneshots, there's a lot but I feel like they've disappeared. I miss reading all your comments :(

"Who's having a good time?!" Harry screamed, loving the familiar sound of the excited crowds. It's been a while since any of the boys have been able to perform due to COVID but now that that's out of the way, they're back together and enjoying the time on stage.

"I am!" Liam piped up.

"Nobody asked you!" Niall's cheery voice came in a sort of passive-aggressive way, though the playful pat he gave the man on his head proved there wasn't any true harshness behind his words.

Liam swatted his hand away as Zayn came over with a curious look. The three watched Louis and Harry chat to fans and each other.

With the new management, Zayn came back and Louis and Harry were set to come out in a week on James' show. Until then, they gave little hints and spent much more time together as they did when the band first got together. Lena and her wife organized this and loved spending time with the boys since they were only one or two years older than Harry. They'd have group outings late at night and run through the deserted streets; which was always fun especially on Halloween in costumes. 

(bonus points if you remember Lena and her wife)

Louis looked up suddenly when there wasn't anything coming from his earpiece, and the band stopped playing due to technical difficulties. 

"Well," Niall chirped. "Looks like we've got some technical difficulties."

Fans cheered because- well they cheer at anything to be completely honest. "Acoustic versions?" Zayn suggested.

Harry shrugged, grinning. "I should tell some jokes." 

The boys groaned. "Harold spare our poor ears, please!" Louis begged jokingly, still sporting a fond smile.

Harry ignored the groans and strolled around, running his fingers through his hair (that's growing longer again since he wanted to grow it out with Louis). "Alright, so who's got some knock-knock jokes?" 

The majority of the crowds' hands shot in the air, all screaming and jumping up and down. The strong beaming lights made it a little hard to see, but thankfully the show was outside and there was a bit of breeze to keep from getting too hot.

Harry picked a tall girl with bright blue hair with a bit of washed-out green. Crouching down in front of her, he grinned. 

"What's your name?" 

"Maeve!" She yelled loudly.

It took many tries until Louis and Zayn came over to save his ass and managed to catch the girl's name. Nodding, Harry said, "Okay, and do you have a good joke?" The girl nodded so Harry held out the microphone to her since she was in the front row, and it wasn't much of a reach.

"Knock Knock!"

Harry brought the mic back to him. "Who's there?"

"Harry."

"Harry who?"

The girl grinned, rubbing her hands together slightly as if planning something evil. "Harry Tomlinson."

The fans erupted in loud cheers as Louis laughed loudly and Harry blushed a little. "No! It's Louis Styles!" Harry yelped.

"Nope, sorry love but even the fans agree. It's Tomlinson!"

Harry stood up and shook his head playfully. "But it's actually, hyphenated. Tomlinson-Styles.

The fans only got louder and more excited by the minute.

"Hazza."

"Loubear."

"Hazza."

"Loubear."

Louis huffed, pointing to the bowls on the top shelf in one of the cabinets. "You put them too high again!"

Harry let out a loud laugh, and Louis couldn't help a small smile at the laugh he loved so much. Harry walked up behind his lover and placed a hand on his waist, reaching up to grab the two bowls (they were green and blue since Niall bought them).

"I love our height difference," The green-eyed man smiled widely, pressing a kiss to the top of his husband's head and going to sit on the couch. Louis filled up the two bowls with cereal (cereal at night hits different) and brought them over.

"Not when you tease me!" Louis whined, flopping next to Harry on the sofa. Harry grinned, tugging the smaller man closer and kissing his temple. "Only because I love you."

"Uh-huh, sure beanpole."

Harry mocked offense, about to open his mouth and say something when Clifford jumped up on the couch, wanting attention. Bruce followed too and curled up near Harry's thigh while Cliff situated himself right between the two.

Laughing, Louis carded his fingers through Clifford's fur while Harry kept one arm around Louis' waist and the other busy texting Gemma.

Eventually, though, a video call came through. Harry propped the phone up against a stack of books on the coffee table so it faced the couple and accepted the call.

"Hey, Tomlinsons!"

Harry immediately groaned, glaring at Louis who enjoyed the greetings.

"It's Tomlinson-Styles!"

"Dunno, kinda like the way Tomlinson sounds," Louis hummed cheekily.

Harry pinched his side. "You're lucky you're cute."

"That was hilarious," Gemma laughed. "Haz- your face when she said it!"

Gemma and Louis spent the next half an hour teasing Harry and eventually Harry huffed and hung up. Thankfully it was just meaningless banter and it was obvious Harry wasn't upset.

By the time another thirty minutes passed, Harry and Louis were wrapped up each other's arms sleepy and happily in their bed while the two dogs dozed off by the foot of the bed.

Harry had Louis held tightly in his hold, the blue-eyed man basically half-asleep.

"Lou?"

Louis hummed, snuggling deeper into Harry's comforting warmth.

"I love you, bub." Louis smiled at the words, kissing somewhere on Harry's face blindly since he didn't want to open his eyes (and ended up kissing his dimple).

"I love you more."

Harry drifted off to sleep shortly after Louis did, happily cuddling with the love of his life.
