N/A: Okay, so this is a request by @Dove343 and as soon as I listened to the song, I thought of something. This song came out in 2022, but this one-shot will be in 2013, so just pretend the song came out earlier. If you haven't listened to the song, I would definitely recommend it. It will start off sad but there will be a happy ending!

Louis was sitting on the couch waiting for Harry to get out of the shower because he wants to talk with him about something very important. After a few minutes, Louis hears Harry singing in the shower, the song that he was singing was Happier by the Banners and Louis noticed he's been singing it a lot lately. 

Louis stood by the door listening to him sing, he loved the younger's voice. As he listened he could hear Harry crying as he sang, that's when he really started listening to the lyrics.

(Happier happier?
Would you be happier with somebody else?)

You were made for me
I was made for you
We liked the same films
We loved the same tunes

Oh but recently
You've been cold with me
It got so complicated
Oh god I really hate it

And now I'm asking myself

Would you be happier with somebody else?
I got this feeling and it won't go away
Oh it's so hard to say
Would you be happier happier?
Have I been living in a lie that you tell
But if you're true to yourself
Would you be happier with somebody else?

Happier happier?
Would you be happier with somebody else?

Nothings getting through
You can't feel me now
We're on the same street
But in a different town

Playing different games
And I don't know how
Not on the same team
Where do we go now?

It doesn't feel like you and me
I look to you for something real
But I just see someone
Who would be happier with somebody else

I got this feeling and it won't go away
Oh it's so hard to say
Would you be happier happier?
Have I been living in a lie that you tell
But if you're true to yourself
Would you be happier with somebody else?

Happier happier?
Would you be happier with somebody else?
Happier happier?
Would you be happier with somebody else?
Would you be happier with somebody else?

It doesn't feel like you and me
I look to you for something real
But I just see someone
Who would be happier with somebody else

I got this feeling and it won't go away
Oh it's so hard to say
Would you be happier happier?
Have I been living in a lie that you tell
But if you're true to yourself
Would you be happier with somebody else?

Happier happier?
Would you be happier with somebody else?
Happier happier?
Would you be happier with somebody else?
Would you be happier with somebody else?

After another five minutes, the water shut off and Harry opened the door with a towel wrapped around his waist. He flinched a little when he noticed Louis standing in front of him and quickly looked down to hide his tear-stained cheeks. "Babe, what's wrong," Harry shook his head and ran to the bedroom, "Baby," he called after him as he went toward the now-closed bedroom.

He heard more crying as he opened the door, Harry was now in his boxers, sitting on the bed. "Love, what's wrong? Talk to me," the younger let out a sob, Louis sat next to him pulling the boy into a hug. After a few minutes, Harry mumbled something incoherent, "What baby?" the green-eyed boy let out a shaky breath, "Would be happier with somebody else?" Louis kissed his head, "Baby, of course not," 

"T-Then why are you being so distant with me? I hate feeling like you don't love me anymore, and I-I don't know what I'm going to do if you leave me for somebody else. I feel like you're just lying to me, and you would be happier if you were with someone else, and I don't know if I can live without you anymore. Louis, I can't live without you, you were made for me and if you leave I-I don't know if I could live like that. You've helped me through so many things and I don't want to go back to that, and if you leave, those thoughts are going to take over again and I don't want to let those thoughts win. Louis, I love you so much, you are my lifeline since x-factor you have been my lifeline, and if you leave me I don't think I would survive without you to help me,"

Louis held him tighter, "Baby, I will never leave you, I love you so, so, so much. Harry, you are mine forever and I'm never going to leave you ever. I'm sorry I made you feel this way, I wanted to do a big surprise for you, and I didn't want you to find out what it was because it's something very special and something I've wanted to do for a while. I'm not gonna wait any longer, stay here for a moment I'll be right back." 

Louis got up and went into their shared closet, "Close your eyes, baby," Harry did what he was told, and Louis came back out of the closet. The older stood in front of Harry, "Okay, open," he told him before dropping down on one knee with a ring in his hand. "Love, I know I've been distant lately but I wanted to do something special for this but I don't want to wait any longer. Harry the reason I've been so distant from you is that I was planning on proposing to you," 

Harry had his hand over his mouth as tears streamed down his face, "Harry, I love you so, so much and I know when we first met you were going through things and I'm glad you trusted me to help you," he told him as he grabbed one of the younger's hand and brushing this thumb over the fade scars on his wrist. "I want you to know that I will always be here to help you, no matter what happens I will always be here. So, Harry Edward Styles... Will you marry me?"

Harry's hands were shaking as tears continued to stream down his face, "Y-Yes, yes I-I will m-marry you," he said between sobs. Louis shakily put the ring on his finger before connecting their lips as he stood up, Harry put his shaky hand on Louis' cheek. Louis laid them down without disconnecting their lips, "I love you, Harry so, so much, please don't ever forget that,"

Harry buried his face into the crook of the older's neck, "I love you too, Louis, thank you for everything," Louis tightly wrapped his arms around the green-eyed boy. "I know it wasn't a big proposal but after hearing what you said, I couldn't wait any longer." Harry pressed a soft kiss to the blue-eyed boy's neck, "It was perfect," he murmured.

Louis pulled the covers over them and brought Harry closer, he kissed the younger's forehead, "I love you," Harry smiled with blushy cheeks, "I love you," the older trailed his fingers up and down the center of his back with a fond smile. 

"Do you wanna have a movie marathon, we can watch all of your favorite movies?" Louis asked. Harry looked up at him with a smile, "But you don't like those movies," Louis shrugged, "As long as you're happy, I don't care what movie we watch," Harry blushed softly, "I love you so much," Louis caressed his cheek, "I love you so much more,"

The older stood up and picked Harry up bridal style, making the boy giggle and blush. He sat them on the couch before grabbing a big fluffy blanket and covering Harry with it. "I'm gonna make some tea and popcorn, you pick the first movie, alright," Harry nodded and said with a giggle, "Don't burn the popcorn!" Louis chuckled and shook his head before walking into the kitchen.

After about ten minutes Louis came back from the kitchen with two cups of tea made just how they like them, and a bowl of successfully not burnt popcorn. The older sat the bowl and the two cups of tea down on the coffee table before sitting down next to Harry. "I see we're starting off with the Titanic," Harry nods and looks down at the popcorn, "You didn't burn it!" he giggled, and the blue-eyed boy playfully rolled his eyes before pressing play on the remote.

They cuddled and watched movies for the rest of the day until they both fell asleep on the couch, holding each other as close as possible.
