WARNING: sexual content (very slightly)

Lying in bed with your phone in hands you can't push the wide smile down when you hear your boyfriend giving you a private concert after tonight's show. The tunes of Kiwi echoes in the bathroom, mixed with the sound of the running water. He is still high on adrenaline, his mind probably hasn't switched back to off-stage mode, but you can't blame him, he's been dreading this moment for almost two years, to be back on stage, in his natural habitat, with his devoted fans, who are more like his friends at this point. He has been devastated every time bad news came about tour, there was a point where it almost got fully cancelled, but Harry was the one who fought and said he would rather cut his arm off than do that to the people he can thank so much to.

Tonight Love On Tour finally started and Harry couldn't be more excited, he has been buzzing with energy for days and the moment he stepped on stage, it felt like full balance has been brought to the world.

You watched him from the side, his pink outfit demanding your attention with every more like it was the light and you were a moth. You cried. No use to deny it, you cried several times during the show, because you knew how much it meant for him and you just wanted to see him happy.

Now the show is over, but only for others, not for you. Harry suddenly switches from Kiwi to Fine Line and he just keeps repeating the same line over and over again: "We'll be alright, we'll be alright..."

Sighing with a giddy smile you open up your Tumblr app on your phone to see what's been the reaction to the concert tonight. You've had a blog since forever, the aesthetic of it changed with how you grew up, but you could never say goodbye to the community there. These days, it's a great source to see what fans are up to and what's talked about. So you go to the search bar and type in Harry's name, thousands of posts appearing in front of you. Damn, some fans work so fast, it's been only about two hours, but there's so much content! Gifs, pictures, photo sets and text posts are flooding the hashtag of his name and you start scrolling through, his pink outfit dominating everywhere.

It still baffles me how good he looked tonight and you're not talking about just the outfit. He had a kind of glow he can only get from performing, it's unique and it amazes you entirely. The smiles, the faces he made, the little interactions he had with the audience, it warms your heart to see the person you love the most be this happy after going through such a hard time.

One gif set catches your attention in particular. A fan apparently held up a sign asking if Harry preferred dogs or cats and he answered dogs before moving on with the show. It makes you laugh, because this was a discussion you had very early in your relationship on one of the first dates three years ago. The question of preference in this topic is believed to be crucial and the two of you had different answers on it, making a small, rather entertaining disagreement over dinner.

"Wha's so funny?"

You were so focused on your phone, you didn't even realize that he was done in the shower. Now he is moving around the room, roaming through one of his bags for something, only wearing his boxers. Fresh from the shower, droplets of water are littering his glistening skin, his hair a little damp, the curls bouncing around his head with every movement.

"I think we have something to discuss," you tell him with a brow arched, but the smile is still on your lips.

"Really? About what?" he hums finishing at his bag and he finally joins you on bed. Slipping under the white sheets, his arms curling around your waist right away as he pulls you close to his chest while you hold up the phone, showing him the gif set. He furrows his brows as he reads the text written on it and then he watches himself from earlier tonight. Then his eyes drop to you and you know he is about to make a joke out of this.
