The stage lights blaze, blinding and hot. Louis watches you closely, seeing the glassy stare and trembling fingers. He hates seeing her in pain, hiding it behind a smile. While Harry rambles, Louis moves with purpose. He ducks behind the curtain, grabbing crackers and a cold towel stashed for her. He returns during the chorus, shoving the towel into her hand, a silent gesture of care. The crowd screams, oblivious to the quiet struggle. Louis brushes damp hair from you's temple, squeezing her shoulder. She leans into the touch, a small nod of gratitude. He is her rock amidst the chaos.
