The audiences’ screams thicken the air as Louis looks out over the crowd to survey the audience, largely hidden by the curtains.
“Boo!” The sudden shake and yell nearly had him lurching on to the stage, caught just in time by an arm wrapped around his waist, dragging him back in Liam’s arms.
“Jesus, Liam!” The thumping of his was starting to make him feel old, but at least it was Liam’s fault.
“I always did say you’d make me scream,” Liam’s smirk said it all, which did nothing to help Louis’ sudden case of weak knees; though it was certain belief of Louis’ that he would always have weak knees as long Liam continued to smile at him like that.
“Isn’t that a little too sexual? We’re about to go out onstage!” Louis shoved Liam off of him then leant over to bump their shoulders, before craning over to check with their stage manager. 3.
“That’s the thing.” 2. Their fingers met in a light hand hold. “It was meant to be.” The whisper was nearly silenced by the surge of screaming as they were ushered on to the stage.
Their fingers broke apart but that did nothing to stop the hammering of his heart.
Typical Liam.

BREAKING NEWS: ONE DIRECTION MEMBERS DATING?
Two members of the well-known boyband, One Direction, were seen in an intimate embrace moments before the concert last night.
Well-renowned boy band members, Niall Horan and Zayn Malik, were captured on camera moments before they entered the stage at last night’s concert.
In support of previous fan speculation of members dating within the band, the photos show the two members kissing.
Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson can be seen in the background of the released photos, hanging out like the good friends they are.
They have yet to release a statement.
. . .
Niall and Zayn had yet to move their faces from within the confines of their arms, which rested upon the breakfast table, their groans barely having interrupted Louis reading the paper aloud, Liam smugly eating his buttered toast.
“It was a first kiss though!” Niall moaned into the table cloth. Liam and Louis had been caught so many times before, but of course Niall and Zayn’s first kiss, hidden behind layers of curtain, would been caught on camera and shared across the globe. There was no justice in their world.
“You two literally look like you’re making out in the background! You even ripped his shirt off on stage!” Zayn’s answering moan was also muffled by the table cloth. “Why were we the only ones caught?”
“Nah mate, we were just hanging out.” The wink thrown Louis’ way made it rather clear they weren’t. “You know, with all the time we do spend making out backstage, you’d have thought we’d have been caught before them. Topping?”
“Jam. And the on stage kissing too. Don’t forget about that, love.” Liam lacquers on the jam, holding it out for Louis to bite.
“Oh, how could I?” The loving smile shared between the two had Niall grimacing at Zayn, the two feeling a sense of camaraderie in their queasiness.
. . .
“And that’s why we love our band and the progress we’ve made, right lads?” Niall finished with a flourish, rounding out his heartfelt speech with the open-ended statement; a statement that would’ve made a great ending to the interview hadn’t Liam and Louis not so subtly play fighting to his left.
“I’m trying to give a serious answer here and you’re getting me horny,” Liam eyes alight with mischief as Louis tries to shake him off and out of his shirt.
“I’m just admiring you, get over it,” Liam’s hands transfer to his shoulders, before covering Louis’ unimpressed face and covering his frowning mouth, “Shhhh.”
“Pardon?” The radio broadcaster asked, eyes blinking. They both freeze, a surprised look on both their faces as they maintained their slightly compromising position.
“Ah well,” Liam was at a loss for words, “You know, no one ever really comments when we say stuff like that.”
“Oh sorry, just before that,” her eyebrows seemed even more drawn together, “I think Niall mentioned a love for Zayn?”
“Jesus Christ, lads.” Zayn rubs Niall’s back as he hides his face in his hands, and Louis cackled gleefully.

ONE DIRECTION CRY LOVE
In a recent interview, One Direction member Niall was recorded saying he “love(d)” Zayn. Though their previous statement on the stage kiss said they were not in a relationship, the radio interview raises some interesting speculation.
Liam and Louis, are once again proving the power of close friendship, as they normalise being horny for each other in a vocal display of friendly affection. The adorable interaction between these two band members, reminds us of the wholesomeness of male friendship.
. . .
Dinner that night was a quiet affair; aside from Liam and Louis of course, who were plating their meal with their usual enthusiasm.
“How?” Zayn asked to the air, his voice pitched high in exasperation, as Niall held the scrunched-up article to his eyes and his shoulders shook, seemingly trying to hide his sobs in the worn-out pages of well-read newspaper.
“You know, I thought that we nearly came out for a moment there, with her actually asking us a question and what-not,” Liam spoke through a mouth of mash potatoes.
“Interviewer definitely had us there for a moment, no doubt,” Louis replied with a mouth equally as full.
“What’s the count at now? With the release of this article, that is.” Niall’s shoulders still drooped with exhaustion but his hand’s linked to Zayn’s seemed to give a burst of energy, making the topic slightly more tolerable.
“I think we’re at 28-times-when-we-were-nearly-found-out-but-just-described-as-good-mates.” Though Liam answered in a matter-of-fact manner, it didn’t stop him from having to duck out of the way of flying a chunk of bread being tossed at his face, courtesy of an annoyed Zayn.
“Hey, it’s our lucky number!” Their shared a dorky smile once again, Liam gently patting Louis’ hand, a gesture reminiscent of an old married couple. A muffled cry of the number ‘28’ was heard from Niall, head buried in arms as he lay collapsed on the table, dinner barely touched and pushed aside. Though this was heard, it remained un-remarked upon amidst Liam and Louis’ domestic bliss.
“Well, I think it’s been a good run. We did hit 28 after all. Maybe it’s time?” Louis gently held up Liam’s hand in his, fumbling in his back pocket for a small box.
“Louis…” Liam’s head titled back in a sudden burst of absolute joy before he quickly brought out a small box from his own back pocket. “You goddamn competitive prat!”

BANDMATES RELATIONSHIP DOESN’T BREAK UP BAND
One Direction bandmates turned bed-mates, Niall and Zayn, were seen having dinner at a local London restaurant, and were seen holding hands beneath the table. With the progression of taking their relationship public, could a proposal be in the cards?
In a show of support for their bandmates, Liam and Louis were seen walking down Princess Park holding hands and sporting matching friendship rings. Way to go, boys!
…
“I think that we just have to accept it at this point, my boy,” Louis stated gently, a hand petting Liam’s back in a comforting manner. “We may be the straightest homies to be engaged in existence.”
“I refuse!” The door slamming open in indignation did nothing to surprise the two lads, nor did Zayn’s wavering finger in their face, Niall resting tiredly against the door frame. “You two! How do you do it? We go on a meeting with our producer, she pops to the bathroom for 2 seconds, Niall pinches my leg and, all of a sudden, we have a ‘public relationship’?!”
“Mate, we tried. I even snogged him on a public park bench. Apparently, the reporters we hired to follow us were too distracted by a famous couple coming out as public in the restaurant across the road.” The light glare Liam sent Zayn’s way had him crumbling into Niall’s arms with an exhausted sob.
“I’m not even surprised at this point,” Niall rubbed Zayn’s back lightly, “Perhaps we should just come out as a couple and they’ll say we’re straight like these two, the greatest of friends who wear ‘matching friendship rings.’”
“Honestly, that might be the reason, maybe you two should give it a shot?”
