Chapter Text
“Good night, boys” Paul said as he flicked the light switch off. “Good night” the 5 band members resounded. The sound of a door swinging was heard along with fading footsteps and a follow up bang. The tour bus was quiet and dark for the night. However, not everybody was planning on sleeping. 5 minutes have past, then 10, then 20. Harry opened his eyes.
First, Harry slid the curtain to the side to see if anybody was out of their bunk. Slowly and as carefully as possible, Harry inched himself down to the floor. On his tippy toes, he made his way towards his love’s bunk. Harry raised his hands to grab onto the curtain fabric. He pulled it to the side to see Louis, eyes closed. He was fake-sleeping. Harry’s hand reached to the boy’s shoulder. “Louis” he whispered, “Lou”. His eyes opened and he smiled cheekily.
“Alright, Harry, I’m up” Louis said. “SHUSH” Harry silenced him. No one must hear them tonight. Louis carefully made his way out of the bunk and followed Harry down the hall, also on his tip toes. Both of the boys hoped no one would see or hear them. Finally, they reached the tour bus door. Harry reached for the knob and clicked it to unlock it. He peaked his head out of the door to be sure that no one as there. Not like anybody would on a cool night like this. Harry’s head turned to Louis, and he made a smile that said “we’re free”. With a quiet swing of the door, the couple was outside the bus and on their way to victory.
“Run” Louis commanded, “Before they see us”. They were a good length away from the arena now. The couple came upon a wood that led into a deep and heavy forest. So secluded, so alone, Harry and Louis stopped to catch their breath. Both of them began to giggle a bit, like little girls finding a secret hideaway. They pulled themselves closer to each other. “Finally,” Louis said, “Time alone”. Harry smiled in return; he wanted to keep this moment. Now, this was not the first time they’ve snuck out before. Each time they would run away, Louis and Harry would always be sure that everybody suspected that they ‘slept’ the night away. Harry knelt down at the bow of an oak tree. Louis would fall down to him, lowering himself to top Harry. Harry’s hands would wrap around Louis while he set himself on him. Harry was simply tall and acted as a perfect holder for Louis. They’d cuddle together, and have a pleasant night.
…
Before they knew it, the sun began to rise. The sun rays beamed through the hanging leaves on the trees. It was Louis who woke up first. Sleep dust edged on his eyes, but he looked around. They were still in the forest. “Oh, no” Louis muttered. He tapped his hand on Harry’s shoulder. “Harry! Harry, wake up!” he shouted. Harry slowly came back from his unconsciousness. “Wh- What?” His deep voice sounded. Louis didn’t say anything, but let Harry discover their destination. “No!” Harry shocked up. Louis scrambled off of Harry’s body. Both of them got to their feet and started to sprint.
