5-7 of January

Louis heads to Morocco on the fifth. He's really excited! They're gonna shoot his music video for his song Walls.

Harry flies directly from Anguilla and arrives the next day. They haven't seen each other for four days and Louis throws himself at him when Harry knocks on his door to his trailer.
"I've missed you so much, baby. You know I can't sleep without you." Louis sighs.

"I've missed you too." Harry mumbles and buries his nose in the crook of Louis' neck.

"Tell me all about Anguilla." Louis says.

"Later. This is your big day, Lou. First I'm gonna kiss you and then I'm gonna sit back and just watch how amazing you'll be in this music video." Harry says and smiles.

"Aaw, look at you being a supportive husband and all." Louis grins, happy for the praising.

"Always. I'm so proud of you Boo." Harry says fondly before he kisses him.

It gets heated pretty quickly like it always gets when they have spent time apart. Louis breaks the kiss and laughs.
"Okay, stop, I can't shoot a music video with a massive boner."

"But that's one of my favorite looks on you." Harry grins and tries to kiss him again but Louis wriggles out of his embrace with a giggle.

They spend the day in the desert and Harry watches his husband proudly the whole time behind the cameras, shouting encouragements between takes.

They spend the night in a hotel making love. The next day Harry examines the actor who's supposed to play him in a scene.
"I'm taller." He states.

Louis looks between them.
"You're right. He'll just have to stand on a box or something."

8-10 of January

They fly back to London the next day and make sure they're not seen at the airport together. They know the drill by now. Harry goes unnoticed but Louis gets stopped by a fan and takes a picture.

They spend a couple of days at home in London just relaxing. They take the dogs out on long walks and Harry tries some new recipes in the kitchen. Louis keeps him company and they have some great days together just the two of them.

Harry's official video for Adore you gets released on the 9th and even if Louis has already seen it they watch it together again.
"It's absolutely brilliant." Louis says after it's done.

"You only say that because you're a part of it." Harry jokes and bumps his shoulder against Louis'.

"You made me into a fish." Louis huffs.

"Yeah, but..." Harry starts off but Louis interrupts him.
"The video is absolutely beautiful darling and I love to be a fish. I'm so proud of you."

"Thanks, Lou." Harry beams.

Harry scrolls through his social media when he's in bed, waiting for Louis to get out of the bathroom. He chuckles lightly when he reads the latest rumors. Louis comes out of the bathroom and climbs into bed.
"I just read that congratulations are in order." Harry smirks and looks at his husband.

"What are you talking about?" Louis asks while he fluffs his pillows.

"You're engaged to Eleanor. I mean, you could have told me. This is another snogging Taylor Swift situation." Harry cackles.

Louis doesn't look amused.
"Which paper?"

"A couple." Harry answers.

"Great. I'll just send an e-mail to the bigger ones then." Louis sighs and grabs his phone.

Harry waits while he writes the mail, sends it, and puts his phone away with a sigh.
"At least you don't have to be portrayed as a womanizer." Harry tries to comfort.

Louis immediately kisses him, knowing how much he hates the image he got wrongfully. He pours his heart into the kiss, wanting Harry to feel safe and loved. Harry smiles lovingly when they break free.

Louis does a radio interview with a Mexican radio station and they ask him about his 28 tattoos on his hand.
"Number 28 has become my lucky number, my number. I received that number as a member of a squad for one season and that's why I have 28 on my hand."

Lying has become easier over the years. Harrys in the other room muffling the sound of his laughter. Louis has a hard time keeping it together as well. Like he would ink 28 on his fingers because he played one season of football, one. They got married on the 28th. He inked it on his fingers because he can't wear his wedding ring in public. Simple as that. But that would hopefully change soon.

11 of January

They had been laying in bed a while back brainstorming cool ideas to reveal Louis's soundtrack on his new album.
"Walls...you should just get them on a wall." Harry grinned and wiggled his eyebrows.

"That's...actually not a bad idea! I can make a mural!" Louis smiled excitedly.

"Yeah? I was just joking you know?" Harry answered sheepishly, cooing internally over how cute his husband was all excited.

"I know but listen, we can get like a great street artist who paints it. Like the name of the songs, oooo and a rainbow!" Louis said, almost stumbling over his own worlds from excitement.

"A rainbow?" Harry smiled.

"Yeah, why not? We're coming out this year Haz. It would be a great clue. We have to ease our fandom into it so they won't get a heart attack." Louis smirked.

"A rainbow it is!" Harry smirked.

So Louis drifted the idea with his team but left the rainbow out of it. They liked the thought of a mural and contacted different street artists. Louis had the last word and he knew exactly who he wanted, Jay Kaes. He was known for his rainbows.

As soon as they had booked him Louis called him privately and asked him to paint a rainbow without telling his team. He told him the reason behind it and Mr. Kaes agreed. The mural would be painted in a live cam so his team wouldn't be able to stop it. Louis promised Mr. Kaes that he would take the discussion with the team afterward.

That was a couple of months ago and now it's finally time for the mural to be made.

Harry and Louis sit down in their living room with snacks and beers. They start off with watching Harry's segment on the Ellen show where he answers burning questions and Louis jokes and laughs the whole time.
"You were adorable baby." He coos.

"You try it!" Harry huffs.

"I can't believe you told them that you've been in handcuffs and that you work out to One direction songs." Louis giggles and Harry rolls his eyes at him.

Then it's finally time to watch the mural take form live on their big screen.
"The things I do for you pumpkin. I'm literally watching paint dry for hours." Harry chuckles.

"Well, I let you drag home those pieces you call art and I let you put them up in our home." Louis snorts.

"That's an investment! I thought you liked them!" Harry says and stares at his husband.

"Well...I like you." Louis smiles and pecks his lips.

"If you hate them I can sell them." Harry says.

"No, I don't care Harry. You like them and I want you to have everything you want. Come here. Cuddle me." Louis answers and makes grabby hands.

They lay down, nuzzled closely, and watch as Louis mural takes form.
"It's beautiful. Have I told you how proud I am of you?" Harry coos.

"Not today." Louis chuckles but he's beaming.

12 of January

Harry wakes up alone and tweets a happy new year tweet (He was way overdue) before gets up to look for his husband. He finds him in the kitchen on the phone. He tiptoes to the coffee maker and puts it on. Louis hangs up with a sigh.
"I just spent forty minutes on the phone with my team. They were freaked out about the rainbow, or Simon is."

"And?" Harry questions, looking worried.

"And there's nothing they can do about it. It's up and the fans have watched the live stream." Louis smirks.

"You're going to be in so much trouble with Syco." Harry sighs.

"I'm gonna fight them." Louis answers, looking determent.

"And I'll be right by your side the whole time." Harry promises and steps up to kiss his husband.
