Chapter Text
Telling the Sidemen was going to be the easiest part, considering that they were basically expecting it.
It’s been a couple weeks since Ethan and Harry confessed and made it official, and the topic of how to tell them has come up.
“They’re probably waiting for it,” Harry says, scrolling on his phone while laying on Ethan and Faith’s bed. “Considering you told them about Faith bringing it up.”
“We can tell them today,” Ethan says. “We’re walking in together anyway, and it’s been hard to tone it down.”
“What, just walk in and say ‘oh, by the way, we’re together now’?”
Ethan shrugs. “Yeah, why not? Okay, we need to go. C’mon.” Ethan pulls Harry up, stealing a quick kiss and earning a giggle out of Harry.
Ethan lets go of Harry’s hand when they get outside, which brings a sad smile out of Harry. “I know,” Ethan says. “One day.”
The shoot wasn’t that far, so they decided to walk it. Ethan’s hand twitched, wanting to grab Harry’s. Not yet.
They open the door to the studio and the rest of the boys look at the door. When they realize it’s Ethan and Harry, they look at them expectantly.
“Okay, fuck it,” Ethan says, grabbing Harry’s hand. “Me and Harry are dating.”
“Fork found in kitchen,” JJ says, not looking up from his phone. Tobi swats his shoulder.
“What he means to say is congrats. We’re happy for you.”
“So, Faith is okay with this?” Vik asks. “What’s the dynamic here?”
“Faith pushed me into my feelings, like I told you guys. She’s really cool with it. I’m still with her, but I’m with Harry as well.” Ethan explains.
“That’s cool,” Josh says, giving them a smile. “Anyway, is everyone ready?” Everyone agrees, and they sit down.
Ethan squeezes Harry’s shoulder after letting go of his hand. He gives him a smile. ‘Soon,’ he mouths. Harry nods, giving Ethan a smile back.
Soon.
