"You lads ready?" I say, looking over at them. I can already hear the crowd, singing Story Of My Life whilst waiting for us to go on stage.

I get a series of nods in return.

Louis has a look in his eye, one of mischief, and he keeps beaming at me. I put it down to excitement. After all, the show is going really well, the crowd is amazing, loud and vibrant. We all perform the best we have all season, making the atmosphere insanely brilliant and colourful.

I spot a sign in the crowd. It's bright blue and covered in glitter, so pretty hard to miss, and it reads: 'My first real crush was Louis Tomlinson'. 

I point at it. "Boobear!" I shout, pulling his attention away from throwing water at Liam. 

"Ten years later and still going strong!" Louis yells, his arms raised, and he throws his head back into a laugh. "Oi Oi!" The whole crowd chuckles and applauds, and Louis throws me a subtle wink. 

It's time for Louis' slot, the last few songs of the night. Seeing as we all have solo music as well, we each gets fifteen minute intervals to perform separately. He sings 'Two Of Us', making the whole arena weep, including me, reminded of people I've lost. During his performance of 'Always You', the crowd turns their phone torches blue. I see Louis smile wide when he realising what they've done for him. He looks over at me, tears in his eyes. His grin takes over his entire face, crinkles forming around his ocean eyes.

"I want you all to join me for my last song," He turns to me and the boys. "Come on."

I look over at him, and he beckons me closer to him. Niall, Liam and I join him on the stools at the front of the stage. He pats the seat next to him and I sit down. Shuffling his chair closer, he puts his arm around me, ignoring angry hisses and shouts from the management team. The music fills the stadium, the familiar guitar riff bouncing off the walls, and he opens his mouth to sing.

'Pour mercy, mercy on me...'

His voice is beautiful, filling out the whole room. His accent, usually subtle, comes through thick, making him sound even more stunning.

'It's a solo song, and it's only for the brave...'

The songs ends, and Louis lowers his microphone. Before I know what's happening, he pulls me in towards him, grabbing a fistful of my t-shirt.

He whispers. "About time, I think, Haz."

He presses his lips against mine, and I push back. The crowd errupts, the sound completely deafening in the best way possible. Louis pulls away, his grin matching mine. 

"It really is only for the brave."

He runs over to the edge of the stage, grabbing a pride flag from a young girl in the front that has been waving it since the beginning of the show. Running back to me, he wraps the fabric around me and him, kissing me again. The other two wrap their arms around us, bringing us close into their hugs.

"I love you, Harry Styles."
