Buckle up, Directioners! It seems like the remaining One Direction members are trying to make amends with each other and are rekindling their friendship!

Some fans are also happy that when Zayn Malik introduced Louis Tomlinson to the crowd as an old friend, Louis Tomlinson grabbed his chest and responded to Zayn's announcement. WHAT A TOTAL CUTIES THESE TWO! (Video via X/@natau10_27)
Other Directioners are also happy that Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik mended their broken friendship (remember their 2015 drama? Yes, that's it). (Image via X/@harrymoonlight)
Fan reactions also came flooding on X after the "Zouis" interaction. Their Directioner hearts are very, very, VERY happy, indeed! (Image, Video via X/@moonknowshome, @sadlydrunk)
Because Louis Tomlinson attended Zayn Malik's concert, people are waiting for his posts about Zayn's show—and they're also waiting if Zayn will post about Louis! (Image via X/@mabelouis, @HLDstruggles)
Some fans hilariously coined the interaction between these One Direction members as the new "Treaty of Versailles!" (Come on, History lessons!)
"The modern day Treaty of Versailles." - 0ne user commented
Directioners felt proud of the two lads, and they now believe that the world is really healing and that the Directioners finally have closure as to what happened 10 years ago! Happy 2025 to Directioners, indeed!
"This is healing as a Directioner." - a Directioner said
"And the world is finally healing." - another one replied
Making amends, moving forward
Now that Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik finally talk about their feud 10 years ago maturely, Directioners are hoping that this will be a stepping stone for a future One Direction reunion with the other members—Harry Styles and Niall Horan.
Louis Tomlinson attending Zayn Malik's Stairway to the Sky tour in Los Angeles is a great leap of moving forward and making amends to their friendship, making Directioners happy, healed, and filled with fun and positive tweets.
Now that Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik are rekindling their brotherhood/friendship, here's to the Directioners who finally waited for this moment and never gave up with the boys!
Here's to manifesting that these 2 work it out on the remix and will collaborate with a future song (or even a future album collaboration)!
