Important: I'm open for any requests, just send them to me! :)

Context:

It's 2023 and Harry and Louis are dating again after a temporary split and getting back together in 2020. They still aren't out to the world though. That is, until pap pics of the two of them are released and they decide to take matters in their own hands.

Harry and Louis were both sprawled out on their couch, Louis lying on his back and Harry - despite being taller - tucked into his side. It was a lazy Sunday afternoon and they were just enjoying eachother's company, glad they had more time for that again after Harry's tour had come to an end.

Suddenly, Louis' phone on the coffee table started buzzing continuously, signaling that tons of messages were flooding in. Louis groaned, silently praying that his phone number hadn't been leaked or anything.

Harry had fallen asleep, so he got out of his embrace as carefully as possible, so he wouldn't wake up. He got up and softly brushed his fingers through Harry's curls, smiling down at his sleeping beauty before turning his attention back to his phone.

Quickly, Louis grabbed the still buzzing thing from the coffee table and made his way into the kitchen, mumbling a torrent of profanities.

Leaning against the kitchen counter, he turned on his phone to see what was going on.

"Fuuuuck... You've got to be shitting me!"

With wide eyes he stared down at the twitter notifications exploding. Articles had published a picture taken by paps which showed Harry and him on their way to Lottie's house this morning.

They had gone there by car, as always, to avoid being spotted, but the picture apparently got taken on the short walk from the car to Lottie's front door. It showed Harry and Louis walking hand in hand, engaged in conversation and looking at eachother while laughing.

There was no way to interpret this as purely platonic. "Conspiracy coming true?! - Louis Tomlinson and Harry Styles holding hands in public", "Larry Stylinson is real!", "Louis Tonlinson and Harry Styles spotted holding hands - is there something going on between them?" were the first few headlines Louis could read.

Great. Fucking great. He groaned and shut his phone off, running back into the living room. "Haz, fuck." He hated to wake Harry up when he was sleeping, but he really couldn't wait now.

Harry blinked a few times to adjust to the light and lifted his head groggily. Usually, Louis would melt at how adorable he looked, but he was too stressed out for that now.

Harry immediately noticed that something was wrong, so he sat up and looked at his boyfriend worryingly. "What's the matter, Lou?"

"Here, see for yourself. Fuck." Louis flopped down next to him and passed him the phone. There was silence for a few seconds while Harry skimmed through the articles. "Oh." was everything he then said.

"How can you be so calm about that? What should we even do now?" Louis stared at his boyfriend desperately.

Harry just wrapped his arms around Louis. "Calm down, breathe." He pulled away after a moment to look at Louis.

"That's shit, yeah, but what about we take the opportunity? I know it's scary and I know we've talked about this a lot and decided to keep our relationship private to avoid all the attention, but I don't think we can deny it now and I don't want to either. The contract with Modest! is over anyway, so there's no one forcing us to deny everything either. So... what if we take matters in our own hands and just... officially come out?"

Louis stared at him for a moment, comtemplating the suggestion. He let out a sigh, looked down at the floor, then up at Harry again and intertwined their fingers. "How are we gonna do it then?"

Harry just beamed at him and captured their lips in a short kiss. "Well, I didn't think that far... What options do we have? Either we do an interview, or an insta live stream, or we just post something on twitter"

"I have an idea!" Louis threw in, smiling brightly. "We could do a live stream on insta, but from my phone and it's only me first and I go something like 'I wanna adress the rumours about Harry and me blah blah' so people think I'll deny everything, but then you appear in the frame and we tell them it's true. How's that sound?"

Again, Harry beamed and kissed his boyfriend before excitedly agreeing.

So Louis sat down on a kitchen chair and placed the phone against a jug of water so he wouldn't have to hold it. Harry took a few steps sideways so he wouldn't be visible to the camera.

"I'm nervous" Louis chuckled while running his hands up and down his thighs. "You got this, Boo. I trust you. This is going to be great" Harry smiled and Louis took a few deep breaths before starting the live stream.

Immediately, thousands and soon millions of people joined in and he waited a bit and greeted them before actually starting.

"Oi, I hope you're all doing great, 's been a while since I went live the last time" He chuckled. "Anyway, thank you for being here!" He smiled at the almost hysterical comments asking if this was about the Larry rumours, the fans knew exactly what he was up to.

"So, I'm not gonna beat around the bush here, reading your comments I think we all know why I started this live stream in the first place" He struggled to keep a straight face to make the situation seem serious, like he was going to deny everything.

"As you know, today a picture of me and Harry Styles holding hands was published, so I just wanted to address all those rumours real quick, ya know?"

The comments were starting to get disappointed - 'NOO DON'T TELL US IT'S ALL FAKE!' or 'Harry's not here, so I guess he'll just deny it😔'

"Lots of you were wondering if the picture was photoshopped, and -" He tried to deliver a facial expression somewhere between annoyed, pissed off and disappointed, but he must have failed miserably because Harry on the other end of the kitchen table burst out laughing.

At that, Louis couldn't hold it in anymore, his head shot towards Harry, his sunshine smile formed on his lips and he let out a laugh.

"Fuckin' hell, Haz! It wasn't that terrible, was it?! Now you gave it all away, great!" He tried to shoot his curly headed boyfriend a glare, which caused him to laugh even harder.

Harry finally got up, made his way towards Louis, softly wrapped his arms around his neck from behind and kissed the top of Louis' feathery hair. "Sorry Sun, but it was indeed that terrible"

Louis flipped him off, but kissed his hand with a warm smile anyway, then focused on the camera again.

The comments were blowing up more than ever.

"Right, so I was trying to trick you into thinking I'd deny the rumours, but Haz here couldn't contain his laughter because apparently I looked ridiculous, which I'm sure I didn't, so let me just say, if it wasn't clear by now -" Harry, who had flopped down onto the chair next to Louis, interrupted him gleefully "Larry Stylinson is real!"

Again, the comments blew up, the two of them took time to answer some questions and explained how they had decided to finally come out. After half an hour, they ended the live stream. Harry threw himself into Louis' arms and the latter gripped him tightly, cradling him to his chest, thinking he couldn't ever be happier.
