“I’ll be okay,” Harry says, turning around to meet Louis’ eyes. A weak smile spans over his lips. “I’m serious, I’ll be okay. I always am.”
“I-” Louis sighs. His eyes drift downward to focus on Harry’s trembling hands as they spasm in odd intervals. They've been shaky for as long as Louis has known him. “I know you are, but you need to take a break. I can tell you're tired," he takes his hands, firmly squeezing them as they shake in his grasp, "We can run through rehearsals without you. You catch on quickly.”
