Louis drove Harry to the airport the morning he was expected to fly out to Newcastle. Neither spoke much during the journey and a sense of sadness prevailed in the air.

When they had parked the car, Louis helped Harry drag his suitcase, their fingers brushing and hearts beating faster in unison.

"I suppose we should say goodbye now." said Harry in such a despondent voice that Louis burst out laughing.

"Look at us Haz, it's just four days and we're here acting like you're moving away forever or something."

Harry smiled weakly, "doesn't make me miss you any less Lou."

Louis pulled him into a hug, his cheeks pressed against Harry's curls, Harry's comforting smell instantly soothing his stressed nerves.

They stood like that for a while, hugging tightly, neither wanting to let go.

Eventually, Louis pulled away and brushed his fingers along Harry's face, noting how Harry's eyes fluttered slightly.

"I'll miss you too Harry, more than you realise." he whispered softly and then it was time to leave.

With one last sad look back at him, Harry walked through the gates that separated him and Louis.

The minute he was gone, Louis felt a sense of emptiness, as though he was missing an essential part of him.

Slowly he walked back to the car, shaking his head to try and get rid of the sad feeling.

Meanwhile seated in the plane, Harry wasn't doing much better. He recalled the last time he was on a plane. That time, roughly 5 months ago, he had been flying out to London for the first time, unknowing of what was to come. Little did he know he would find a whole new life for himself here, little did he know he'd have a roommate, little did he know he'd end up falling in love...

It wasn't a very long flight and they had landed around an hour later. As soon as the air hostess signalled that they could turn their phones back on, Harry texted Louis, informing him that he had landed.

The reply came almost instantly, almost as though Louis had been waiting for his message all along.

Lou-
That's great Harbear, good luck for your meeting today, will call you in the evening.
xx

Harry noticed the kisses and smiled widely to himself, feeling giddy and happy all of a sudden.

The rest of the day passed by achingly slowly.

Harry signed in at the hotel and was given a beautiful large room. He couldn't help but think how much Louis would have loved it and clicked a few pictures to show him.

That afternoon he had his first meeting with Jack and the rest of the companies. Not knowing what to wear, he decided to keep it semi casual and wore a plain black shirt with some jeans and pulled on a grey blazer.

He clicked a quick mirror selfie and sent it to Louis for approval.

L-Woah Harry :O

H-Does it look okay?

L-It far surpasses okay Haz

H-Can I tell you a joke?

L-um do you really have to?

H-I feel less nervous

L-Well go on then, might as well get it over with. I'm bracing myself.

H- knock knock

L- *groans* who's there?

H- cash.

L- cash who?

H-no thanks, I'd rather have a peanut.

L-

L-

H- Lou?

L- hahaha omfg you're so funny I'm wiping the tears from my eyes hahahaha

H- was that sarcastic Lou?

L- no of course not you cupcake.

Harry smiled and then realising Louis couldn't see, he sent him another message.

H- "I'm smiling"

L- "Are you doing that nose scrunchy thing as well?"

H-" I do not have a nose scrunchy thing!"

L- oh please, yes you do.

Harry laughed and texted Louis goodbye seeing that it was time to leave now.

The meeting was hell.

Harry had to keep filling forms and surveys and was bored out of his mind. He couldn't stop wishing he was back home with Louis nestled under his arms as they watched TV together or even just lay in bed talking.

The only good part of the meeting was Louis kept texting him funny selfies and Harry had to cough to muffle his laughter on more than one occasion.

Harry couldn't wait for the meetings to be over so he could go back to the hotel and talk to Louis.

Once they were done for the day, Harry pretty much tripped over himself as he rushed to the door, hailed a cab and rushed back to the hotel.

He gave himself a little mental lecture telling himself and his heart to calm down before he dialled Louis.

Louis answered immediately.

"Hazzyboo! How are you?"

"Louis" Harry said his voice already sounding sad.

"Hey now, it's only 3 more days remember? You'll be back here in no time and we can cuddle and talk like we did every night."

"Only 3 more days."

"Yes Harry" Louis replied smiling. "Anyway, how was your day with the boring official stuff?"

As Harry began ranting and rambling on and on about how stupid these people were and how they made a big deal out of everything, Louis listened fondly, eyes closed, letting Harry's voice wash over him, picturing him lying by his side.

They spoke for what seemed liked only a few minutes but was actually over an hour until Harry's voice became heavy with sleep.

"Hazza?"

"Hmm?" Harry replied sleepily.

"You should sleep now, you have a long day ahead of you tomorrow, do you have RBB with you?"

"He's right here." Harry said, referring to the rainbow bear that Louis had won him at the carnival that they had named RBB together the night before.

"Okay, I'm going to stay on the phone until I hear you do your little snoring thingy alright?"

"I do not snore.." Harry mumbled too tired to argue.

"Goodnight H"

"Night Lou"

Louis held the phone to his ear for the next fifteen minutes and only when he could hear Harry's breathing become slow and steady, indicating he was alseep, did he cut the phone.
