Neither Harry or Dougie, or anybody else for that matter, thought that their relationship was moving too fast. At dinner one night Dougie pointed out that they had known each other for nearly eight years so why bother with the 'let's get to know each other' banter, that was except for in bed where they got to know each other rather well. So they went about as if nothing had changed, and it hadn't really. Except for the fact that two of the band members were shagging like mad whenever it was possible. For the first month that was all they seemed to do. At home, in rehersals, on sets, even on the tour bus.
Danny and Tom were just happy that two of their best friends were happy. So it was without a doubt in their minds that it was the best thing to happen in 2011 for the band.
"When are you guys going public?" Danny asked as a joke as they sat in the tour bus heading for their first locations for their first show of the year.
"Haven't really thought about it," Dougie said, pulling out his phone to get on Twitter.
"Now," Harry mumbled.
"What?" Dougie asked.
"Hmm, oh, nothing," Harry replied and looked back out the window. They fell silent for some time. Everybody was busy on their phones, or their laptops or IPods. But Harry just sat there and stared out the window, watching the countryside fly by. he was lost in a maze of thoughts that had accumulated in his mind since he and Dougie started going out. It wasn't that he didn't love DOugie, cause God knows he did, and it wasn't that he regretted telling his best friends he was gay, it was just that he was a little worried... Worried about how the fans would react to the news, what the press would say, and ultimately would it tear the band apart in the end?
That night they played their first show of 2011 and they had a blast. However once they headed off stage and into the dressing area where all of their stuff was something happened, and it would changed Dougie's initial view of Harry. As he flopped down one of the couches he grabbed his phone and logged onto twitter and posted.
Had a blast out there tonight! Can't wait to do it agian tomorrow!
Then he scrolled through the other posts. Nothing was catching his attention until he saw one particular tweet from Harry. It had been posted just before they went on stage.
Just about to step out on stage. Good to be back...Plus I have some news for you all. I will tell you what it is when we finish the show.
Just as Dougie was about to ask what the news was he was alerted about a new Tweet. he saw that it was from Harry and looked at it.
Told you there was news, so here it is...Doug and me are going out!
Dougie couldn't believe it. Why would Harry post that when they hadn't even discussed coming out publicly yet? Why would he do it when they hadn't talked about anything? Dougie looked around but noticed Harry wasn't in the room. He stood up and walked out, ignoring Tom's question of where he was going. he looked down the hallway to see Harry leaning against a wall, looking directly at him.
Ooh...What did you think? Will there be drama in the next chapter? Or will they just laugh it off?.
