Honesty - Billy Joel
“I'm sorry, babe.”
Harry couldn't count the number of times he'd wished those words were spoken to him. He understood that Lou found it difficult to deal the pressures, but that didn't make it any easier on Harry. He'd always had a fondness for the idea of Larry Stylinsons. He may not have been in love with Louis, but they were best friends and if people found inspiration in their friendship, he wasn't going to stop them. Louis, on the other hand, felt that it was dishonest.
Friendship was a lot easier before lies became part of their everyday life.
Being For the Benefit of Mr. Kite - Eddie Izzard (Across the Universe Soundtrack)
Niall drew in a deep breath before heading into the tent behind Liam. While his best friend was ecstatic about the circus being in town, Niall was a little hesitant. Clowns and him had never really gotten along. He followed Liam quietly, staring at his heels rather than looking around. He didn't look up until after they'd taken their seats, and the drumroll that started the show rumbled through the space.
He gasped. The ringmaster - tan with dark, dark eyes and hair like black cloud - stood silently in the center of the tent. Every eye was on him, and Niall could feel Liam's breath disappear as the man slowly surveyed his audience.
Eventually, his eyes landed on Niall's blue ones.
Dancing In the Street - David Bowie and Mick Jagger
Zayn's mind was made up as soon as the door shut behind Louis.
He bolted after the older boy, determined to say the right thing this time. He missed the elevator by a split second and had to throw away precious minutes tumbling down the stairs. He burst into the lobby only to hear the painful sound of the main door slamming.
He made it out of the building only to hear a loud clap of thunder, and his focus narrowed down again. Louis hated thunderstorms. Zayn had to find him now.
And then, there he was. Louis was curled under the fire escape stairs, sobbing softly into his hands.
Much Better - The Jonas Brothers
Zayn threw his keys into the stupid bowl Liam had bought for the house, slamming the front door behind him. He kicked his shoes off and dropped his jacket, doing his best to be as angry and as loud as possible about it.
In the living room, Niall sighed. Harry smirked. Louis smiled. Liam tried not to react.
Zayn stomped into the room, took one look at their face and groaned. He threw himself onto the couch between Niall and Louis, glaring at Liam.
“You knew, didn't you?” Zayn challenged Liam, ignoring Louis moving closer to him.
“I can't deny that.” Liam said softly, looking at the floor.
“You knew it was all for publicity and you didn't think to tell me?”
“Zayn - I.. They...”
“That's real good, Liam, stutter over another one of your damn excuses!”
And suddenly both Louis and Niall were cuddling Zayn and his anger was dissipating too fast for him to keep yelling.
Liam started again. “Zayn, they made me promise not to tell. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.”
Harry moved in next, curling around the lump of boys already on the couch. Zayn made a grumbling sound that sounded something like “Fuck off”. Liam got up slowly, looking at Zayn with the apology that wouldn't be accepted filling his eyes. He curled into the boys anyway, allowing the cuddles to calm the room.
