Ed Sheeran Concert

When We Were Young Masterlist Summary: Louis and YN finally make the first move.

"Tommo you're overthinking this" Liam spoke as the Yorkshire boy paced back and forth, in front of the sofa where the four other boys were currently sitting.

"I'm fookin' nervous..what if I mess this up..it's my only chance" Louis argued.

"Lou, what are you nervous about..she's already agreed to go with you" Harry questioned as his eyes followed Louis as he continued to pace.

"'cause she thinks we're going as friends-".

"Well be bold and just make a move" Niall shrugged, almost like it was the most obvious thing to do, making Louis stop and look at him.

"Yeh..thanks smart arse why didn't I think of that" Louis sarcastically said.

"He's got a point" Zayn spoke up for the first time.

"Lads..I can't just make a move..it's not that fookin' easy" the four boys sat silently looking at Louis "Whot...why are you all looking at me like tha'?".

"'cause it is that easy Lou" Harry answered.

Louis signed, getting frustrated and regretting asking the boys over to his and Harry's flat for help. Louis had asked YN the previous day if she wanted to go to Ed Sheeran's concert with him in Manchester tomorrow night as the band had a couple of days off.

The band had just finished an interview and were waiting in a room backstage for their team to finish what they were doing. YN was talking to Louise and the boys were sat on the chairs in the corner of the room.

"Go and ask her Lou" Harry encouraged, nudging his arm.

"I'll ask her later" Louis tried to avoid talking to YN at that very moment.

"No..do it now because you'll chicken out" Liam said.

"Fine" Louis snapped at the boys nagging him.

As Louis walked over to where YN is talking, he took a deep breath, preparing himself to be rejected. He fluffed his hair with his hands, making the boys snicker and giggle from where they watched their nervous friend. YN had finished her conversation and turned around as Louis approached her, making her bump into him.

"Oh sorry Lou" YN gently smiled up at his slightly taller frame.

"Sorry love" Louis nervously said "Um..I..uh".

"Everything okay?" YN asked with a giggle watching the boy stutter.

Louis opened and closed his mouth a few times, making Niall cover his mouth to avoid his loud laugh coming out. "Uh..I..I wanted to..ask you something".

"Yeah..sure of course you can babe" YN smiled up at him.

"I'm going to Manchester..to see Ed..Ed Sheeran..and..do you..I wanted to ask if..you know.." YN smiled encouraging Louis to continue "If you wanted to come with me..to the concert?".

"Oh Lou...I'd love to" YN leaned up to wrap her arms around his shoulders as she leaned her head on his shoulder, making him do the same. From where he stood he could see the other boys high-five each other and give Louis a thumbs up, making him roll his eyes at their childishness.

"How is it easy?...I end up stuttering every time it's just us and looking like an idiot" Louis argued as he sat down on the chair opposite.

"Start off slow..it's gonna be a busy crowd so hold her hand and play it off like you don't want to lose her or something" Liam suggested.

"I say just go for it...you're already her cuddle buddy" Niall teased, making Zayn flick his ear.

"Lou...don't listen to these two idiots..just go and enjoy yourself..you'll know in the moment if something feels right or not...don't think too much about it" Harry spoke sense to his best mate.

"I agree with Harry man..you'll just know..you can't plan stuff like that" Zayn agreed.

---

As planned Louis had picked YN up to drive up to Manchester ahead of the concert. Music playing from the radio, YN would sing along now again when the pair weren't chatting.

"Are you sure your Mum doesn't mind me staying the night too..I can book into a hotel or something still?" YN spoke. As Manchester wasn't too far away from Doncaster, Louis' hometown, he wanted to make most the time off and see his family too.

"Love..for the millionth time she doesn't mind...in fact it was her idea so stop worrying" Louis reassured her "Plus...my sisters are so excited to see you..my Mum too..I think they love you more than me" Louis joked.

"I doubt that..you're a proper Mummy's boy" YN teased him.

"I am" Louis agreed nodding his head.

"I think it's cute" YN complimented as she turned to look at Louis in the driving seat. Was he blushing?

"You're cute" Louis spoke without thinking, making his eyes widen, secretly hoping she didn't hear him.

As they both entered the venue where the concert was being held, they both stuck to the back of the crowd trying to blend in. They had taken the risk of going without security, a couple of fans had noticed them and asked for photos which they happily took. The fans respected the pair's privacy and went back to their original spot and only glancing at them now and again. Louis had realised that this was not the place to make his move with so many watching eyes. But it didn't stop him from admiring her from where he stood, YN was carefree, lived every moment as if it was her last and didn't care who watched her.

As Ed sings 'The A Team', YN can't help but sing along and as notices Louis standing there just watching. She entwines their hands and lifted them up in the air, nudging him to join her singing.

She's in the Class A Team

Stuck in her daydream

Been this way since eighteen

In that moment, he knew he was in too deep and had fallen for his bandmate.

---

It was around 11:30pm when Louis and YN arrived at his Mum's house in Doncaster, meaning his younger sisters were asleep. He knew his Mum was awake as she had text him earlier in the evening to say she would wait up for them. Hearing his car pull up in the driveway, his Mum stood by the front door waiting to see her son and, his bandmate.

Louis pulled his Mum into a tight embrace "I've missed you my baby boy", YN couldn't help but smile at the loving moment. "You too my love" Jay spoke to YN whilst pulling her in for a motherly hug.

"Thank you so much letting me stay" YN thanked her.

"You don't need to thank me darlin'" Jay spoke sweetly "C'mon in you both come". As the three walked into the lounge, Jay added "Plus the girls are so excited to see you..so prepare yourself for the chaos in the morning"

"I feel like they're growing and changing every time I see them" Louis commented "The photo of the twins you sent me the other day…they look so much older"

"They are..they're like stroppy teenagers already" Jay joked.

"Alfie's the same" YN began "I feel like he's going to be off to uni before I know it"

After catching up with Louis' Mum, the three decide it was time to call it a night before their early wake-up call from his younger siblings in the morning. Louis was staying in his childhood bedroom and YN was in the guest room, further down the hallway. After an hour of tossing and turning, not being able to sleep, Louis decided to go downstairs and get a glass of water to drink. As he entered the kitchen, he was startled to see YN standing against the counter sipping on what looked like tea.

"Hey" Louis spoke into the dimly lit room, making YN jump.

"Fucking 'ell Lou..you scared me" YN tried to whisper, so she didn't wake the others.

"Sorry love" Lou chuckled, walking over to where she stood so he could make a cup of tea for himself. "Can't sleep?"

"No..I don't know why..I hope it was okay to make myself some tea..it usually helps"

"O'course it is love" Louis reassured her before pouring the hot water into his own mug.

"Why are you awake anyway?" she asked him.

"Dunno...just thinking"

"About?"

You "Nothing" he shrugged.

"Loouuu"

He turned to look at the girl next to him, even when she was wearing her unmatching pyjamas, hair in its natural state and a bare face, she was still beautiful in his eyes. "I..um..I need to tell you something" Louis spoke softly, "I..I..I don't know how to te-"

Louis wasn't sure if he was dreaming or if it was all in his head but time stood still when YN leaned forward and pressed her lips to his. It was so soft and gentle, he could have missed it. As she quickly pulls away, she whispers a quiet 'sorry' and looks away from his gaze. Taking her face in his hands, he places his lips back onto hers. Whilst the kiss is still gentle, their movements are a little more rushed. YN's hand find their way to grip his t-shirt, one of Louis' hands is placed on the back of her neck keeping her close, whilst the other one has moved down and is pulling at her hip. After a few minutes lost in the moment and each other, they pull apart, unable to hide their smiles.

"You have no idea how long I've wanted to do that" Louis admits as he leans his forehead on hers.

"Me too" YN leans up and leaves a peck on his lips. Now she's had a taste, she can't get enough.

"C'mon lets go and cuddle"

---

Louis woke to the sound of voices and movement downstairs, letting him know his sisters were awake. He looked to his side and YN was fast asleep, her hands tucked under her chin. Wanting to let her sleep, he placed a gentle peck on her head and got out of bed, putting on his t-shirt and shorts. As he walked through the door to the kitchen, he could smell breakfast cooking and was immediately greeted by his four sisters.

"Morning Kiddos" Louis messed up Daisy and Pheobe's hair.

"Where's YN?" Lottie eagerly asked.

"Aw thanks Lot...never mind about me..I see who's your favourite" Louis teased "She's still sleeping"

Once her had made a fuss of his younger siblings, he wrapped his arm around his Mum's shoulder as she was buttering some toast "Morning Mum"

"Good morning my darlin" Jay greeted him, with a little smirk.

"Whot?" Louis looked at his Mum suspiciously.

"Aw nothing" Her smirk still present.

"Mum..whot is it?"

"Did you sleep okay?"

"Uh..yeh?" Louis said, almost asking a question.

"Any midnight kisses?" Jay teased.

Louis closed his eyes and cringed with embarrassment "Muuum"

"Hey..it was the last thing I expected to see when I came down for some water" Jay spoke as she passed the twins their toast "But..I can't say I'm surprised either...you couldn't hide your feelings if you tried"

Interrupting the conversation, YN appeared at the door "Morning" causing the girls to run and hug her, Jay looked on and smiled at the scene. As Louis caught YN's gaze, he sent her a little smirk and wink, a blush coating her cheeks. Maybe it was that easy!

Hey! I’ve been wondering, what would Y/N do if she’s on her period and she gets a stain and stuff and she’s with the boys when it happens? Like would the boys help her cover it?

It happened once during the phh era. It was after the band was doing a sit-down couch interview for their new Documentary Book.

YN sits in the middle right in front of Harry while he sits on top of the back of the couch. Right after the interview was over, YN stood up and shook the interviewer's hand. Now, Harry doesn't mean to take glances at her bum—he's a guy and it's right in his line of vision—but as he's sliding his way down from his seat, he notices the tiny red spot on the bottom of her shorts. It wasn't completely noticeable if someone was looking from afar, but it was there nonetheless.

Niall seems to have spotted it too because he shares a worried look with his bandmate.

So before she can walk away, Harry puts his hands on her shoulders and reaches over her to shake the interviewer's hand. "Thanks for havin' us."

YN's a little startled by his actions but can admit that she doesn't mind his closeness. Niall goes around and whispers to the other boys and they immediately get into big brother mode. Without her suspecting anything, they all discreetly make a huddle behind her as they make their way out of the studio.

Once they get into their green room, she spins around to face the boys with her hands on her hips.

"Okay, what's goin' on? Why yeh lads acting so weird?"

"We're not acting weird." Zayn rubs his hand on the back of his neck, looking at the other boys. "It's just..."

"Just whot?" She sassily raises her eyebrows, feeling an unnecessary amount of anger rising up in her chest. Her mind starts to race a thousand miles a minute: was this a "boys only" type of secret? She thought they were better than that kind of bullshit. Do they not trust her? What could it be?

"Oh, YN. Yeh stained your shorts." The band turns their heads to her stylist, Emma. "Oh, sorry. Didn't know you boys were in here. Now shoo. We got some lady business to deal with." The woman waves her hands and the boys shuffle out of the room.

Before they're fully out the door, Harry looks over his shoulder to see the somber look on YN's face, no doubt feeling the guilt of her attitude towards the boys.

Once the band is back on the road, YN lays on one of the leather couches in the back of the tour bus. She's changed out of her outfit for earlier in exchange for her plaid pj pants and an oversized hoodie. She's clutching a pillow to her chest as her eye focus on the TV screen.

She still feels bad for how she acted towards her bandmates earlier and if she thinks about it too much she just might cry. Ugh, she hates being hormonal.

Her eyes redirect towards the sliding door when she hears a knock on it and soon enough she sees Harry peek his head through.

"Hey, lovie."

"Hey, H." She gives him a sad smile.

"Y'alright? Can we come in?" He asks carefully like one wrong move can set her off.

"We brought yeh snacks!" She hears Niall from somewhere behind Harry and sees a hand waving a bag of candy above his head. YN huffs out a laugh and nods.

She slowly sits up, puts the movie on pause, and sees all of the boys squished together by the doorway, all dressed in their pajamas.

"Um, m'sorry for the way I acted towards you guys earlier. Yeh didn't deserve that." She plays with the end of the pillow on her lap. "Thank yeh lads for—" YN waves her hand in the air vaguely. "—doing all of that. Can yeh guys forgive me?"

The boys all give each other a look in playful contemplation and the dramatic anticipation makes her roll her eyes.

"We forgive you," Liam nods his head. "If you allows us to ambush you in a water fight for tomorrow night's show."

She's about to agree with ease, she's never one to back out from a water bottle fight, that is until Louis pipes up from the side.

"And," he stresses. "You can't fight us back."

YN purses her lips to the side. "Can it be towards the end of the show?"

They all share another look and nod in agreement. "Deal." YN smiles warmly and catches the thrown bag of candy.

"Now can we join yeh now? I heard Julie Andrews on the telly." Niall shoves his way through the group and plops down on the couch next to her once she gives them the go.

Taglist:

And for the rest of the night, her and the boys stay up and watch the Princess Diaries until their eyes are too heavy with sleep. She thanks God that it's nighttime already and the only source of light is the TV on the wall because seeing the boys all scattered around the back of the bus, making silly comments about the Disney film as they show their own way of comforting her during this time, has her constantly (and discreetly) having to wipe away the tears building up in her eyes.

She blames her rapid hormones...yeah, thats what she keeps telling herself.

1D Monthly Fic Roundup

Hi, and welcome to the 1D Monthly Fic Roundup for December 2022! Below you’ll find 1D fics that were all published this month in the order they were submitted to the blog. We hope you’ll check out these new fics! If you would like to submit your own fic, please check this post on how to submit or visit our blog @1dmonthlyficroundup. You can find all our other posts here.

Happy reading!

🔹All I know is I'm in trouble (cause the atmosphere's so cold) by we_are_the_same / @so-why-let-your-voice-be-tamed (T, 8k, Louis/Harry)

While on a holiday with his best mate Zayn, Louis meets Harry, who seems to dislike him from the start. It's just his luck he ends up getting stuck on a ski lift with Harry. Except maybe the universe knows better and he really is lucky.

🔹Here where you should be by @lunarheslwt (G, 19k, Harry/Louis)

“I’m spending Christmas alone.” Harry would never have thought of himself as dramatic, but he could swear he felt his heart lurch at the quiet admission. “Huh?” “Just me, myself and I,” Louis joked, giving a little laugh. “It’s about to be a very….ah, silent night.” And Harry was so distraught at this news, that he didn’t even chuckle at the pun. “Louis,” he said dumbly, voice betraying how upsetting he found the idea. The sparkle in Louis’ eyes dulled further. “Don’t you worry about me, Harry,” Louis soothed, “It’s not that big a deal-” “-Would you like to spend Christmas with me?” And what. the. fuck. Why did he ask that to someone who was essentially a stranger?

Or, when Harry, an anxious alpha, found himself panicking over last minute Christmas shopping, he found comfort in the kind omega shop assistant, Louis. He wasn't meant to invite the omega home for Christmas when he found out that he's spending Christmas alone. He wasn't meant to catch feelings. Hell, he wasn't even meant to be able to go home for the holiday. It was shaping up to be a Christmas full of surprises.

🔹Mistletoe's For Two by crimsontheory / @ireallysawanangel (E, 90k, Louis/Harry)

After an encounter in a coffee shop with the rudest man he's ever met, Louis hopes the city is just big enough that he'll never bump into him again. When he spots that man at a bar the following evening, a plan begins to form. They both need dates for their respective Christmas parties and decide to use each other for their own benefit. They'll help one another through the holidays and then 'break it off' on New Year's, then agree to never see each other again. Developing feelings was not part of the plan.

Or, an enemies to lovers fake dating advent fic.

🔹One for the Books by @neondiamond (M, 25k, Louis/Harry)

When Harry decides to move to London a few weeks before Christmas to pursue his dream and become the new owner of a bookshop after seeing an ad online, everyone he knows tells him he must be out of his mind. As he gets acquainted with his new life and meets a handful of incredible individuals—one of which he happens to grow particularly fond of—he slowly comes to the realisation that it may just be the best decision he's ever made.

Or the one where there’s a bookshop, a cat, OT5 friendship, a budding romance, and all the festive vibes.

🔹when did i first know? i always knew by eynap / @panye (E, 7k, Niall/Shawn Mendes)

Shawn has thought about marrying Niall more times than he can count, but there’s a palpable difference in the way he feels around kids now. It’s gone from an immeasurable amount of love for being Uncle Shawn to Harry and Louis' children, to wanting to experience these moments for himself with his own kids.

He has a feeling that has a lot to do with the way he feels about Niall, too.

Or, it takes Christmas Eve spent with two dads, four uncles, and two children under 6 for Shawn to realize he might want kids of his own. He's nervous Niall won't feel the same way.

🔹The Holes of My Sweater by yourdelicatepov / @harrysmaison (NR, 31k, Louis/Harry)

Harry dusts off the flour from all over his body. His cheeks hurt from how much he laughed. Louis' face is flushed from it, brown hair looking like a nest. Yet Louis' eyes are lit with so much joy, bluer than the oceans, laughter dancing in the little green specks. Harry feels himself get lost in them, Louis looking right back. 'Has Louis always looked this pretty?' He can't help but think.They're snapped out of their trance by the sound of the oven beeping. Harry blinks. Louis is covered from head to toe in flour, looking an absolute mess. Why did Harry think he looked pretty?

Or, Harry is the new teacher, Louis helps him settle in, it's the sweater weather and no one's falling in love with their new, kind and charming best friend. No. One. (includes, harry's cat being 'the mood' all the time, zayn pining for liam, lilo never getting along and niall throwing parties every chance he gets which may or may not willingly trigger these friends to convert into lovers)

🔹find our place by @nouies (NR, 3k, Zayn/Louis)

“Fuck!” Louis says as he hangs up the phone and turns it off. He hopes the call didn’t connect, otherwise he would have to change his number. Again.

🔹make you mine this season by @disgruntledkittenface (M, 28k, Zayn/Harry & Louis/Nick Grimshaw)

After Harry’s Christmas plans fall through, she decides to surprise her best friend Nick in New York. Unfortunately, Nick decided to surprise her in San Francisco at the same time. When they realize what happened, they each resign themselves to staying and spending time in the other’s city. Harry tries to make the best of things, making elaborate plans to distract herself from feeling lonely, while Nick is just looking forward to her first real vacation from her hectic job in years. Neither of them will have the Christmas that they expected, but maybe they’ll each get the one that they need.

🔹Charm Your Pants Off by 4ureyesonly28 / @evilovesyou (G, 2k, Harry/Louis)

When Harry hurt himself in front of all of his coworkers, he thought his Christmas Eve couldn’t get any worse. That was, until he ended up in an actual ambulance.

Perhaps the gentle and ridiculously attractive doctor he meets at the hospital can make his trip (pun absolutely intended) worth it?

🔹Late Night Talking by @kingsofeverything (E, 53k, Louis/Harry)

Louis Tomlinson has a new album coming out and a second world tour on the horizon. Promo season gets underway with a stop at Late Night Talking, the late night show hosted by Harry Styles, and Harry Styles just happens to be the man who blew a chance to date Louis a decade ago.

🔹A Very Darling Christmas by @aquamarinedaffodil (M, 133k, Harry/Louis)

It’s Harry’s first holiday season since he opened the little bakery at Astor Square and according to his best friend Zayn, he is hopelessly unprepared. With the start of the local Christmas market right around the corner and an already hectic schedule, Harry really can’t afford to get distracted.

Then again, neither can Louis, who is in the middle of directing rehearsals for a winter musical with his drama class and promised his colleague Niall that he’d focus all of his energy on the musical.

But you know what they say: promises are like pie crusts — made to be broken.

🔹The Hour of Us by sitandadmire / @louistomlionson (M, 5k, Niall/Harry/Louis)

Harry loves her quiet life with her two partners, Niall and Louis. But one day, her magic starts acting up. Will Harry be able to figure out what's happening, how to fix it, and soon?

Or: the modern witches AU where Niall collects spell books, Harry is fascinated by plants, and Louis is ready to protect them at all costs.

🔹The Streetlights Are All Saying Your Name by LiveLaughLoveLarry / @loveislarryislove (M, 4k, Niall/Shawn Mendes)

The roar of the crowd is still thrumming in his bones as Shawn steps off the stage, feeling like he’s riding on a cloud of music and marijuana smoke. As he descends the stairs, he sees Niall, hands in his pockets, smiling as bright as the stage lights. “You were amazing,” Niall tells him, pulling him into a tight hug. “Fucking killed it, as always.”Shawn squirms in his arms. “I’m all sweaty and gross.”“Don’t care.” Niall rubs his cheek against Shawn’s. “Smells like you. Plus it gives me an excuse to join you in the shower when we get back to the hotel.”Shawn laughs. “You know you don’t need an excuse,” he says. “Open invitation, any time.”

Or, Niall comes to visit Shawn at the Jingle Ball performances, and afterwards they spend some time in their hotel room together, reminiscing on old holiday memories and making new ones together.

🔹they say looks can kill (and i might try) by LiveLaughLoveLarry / @loveislarryislove (M, 18k, Louis/Harry)

There is little Louis loves more than the look on a would-be criminal’s face when he falls from the sky. They never see it coming – which seems ridiculous, since they live in a city with dozens of superheroes. But then again, most of those “heroes” are CowellCorp’s pet monkeys, and CowellCorp isn’t all that concerned with helping ordinary folks.

Louis is, though. So when he looks into an alley and spots a man gripping a woman’s arm hard enough to bruise, he does the logical thing: he fires an arrow that neatly peels the man’s hat off his head and pins it to the wall behind him.

Isn’t that what anyone would do?

Once, Louis walked the streets as Ranger, a proud member of the CowellCorp Crusaders. With their training and tech, he thought he'd be able to fight evil and protect those in need.

Then he realized the evil people needed protecting from was the very company that had built him into a "hero" in the first place.

Now he walks those same streets as Rogue, a vigilante who makes his own justice - and he's making damn sure that justice is coming for CowellCorp too.

🔹I Keep Looking For Magic by @lululawrence (NR, 36k, Louis/Harry)

Harry loves Christmas, but this year is special. After ten years of boyfriends all failing to ever meet Harry's family, Harry has a fiance to introduce and things are looking like they will be perfect.

Until they break up.

Harry cannot go home alone when he had promised to bring a significant other again. This leaves him with little choice but to find someone to pretend they are his fiance.

Surely nothing could go wrong with this plan.

🔹Silver-White Winters by @lululawrence (NR, 9k, OT5)

Liam Payne had learned many things as a bartender. He'd learned when people needed to talk, or when they needed a gentle smile. He now knew when they wanted advice or someone to just agree with them. He also had come to recognize when someone was past the limit and needed to be told no.

But when it came to holidays, Liam had learned that when people came into the Neighborhood Pub alone on Christmas Eve, it was for a reason.

Niall, Zayn, Harry, and Louis all definitely have their own reasons for showing up at Liam's bar alone on Christmas Eve. With the help of a surprise winter storm, none of them will have a reason to be alone for long.

🔹love drunk, waiting on a miracle by @hellolovers13 (E, 30k, Louis/Harry)

Christmas inspired Coffeshop AU

Harry has a bit of a crush on a customer. Thankfully, the feeling is mutual.

These are their first 24 days together.

🔹Treat You Like A Gentleman by @justanothershadeofblue (E, 12k, Harry/Louis)

5 times that Harry Styles was unsatisfied by his dates, and one time Louis Tomlinson helped him find what he had been missing.

🔹no amount of words by @justanothershadeofblue (M, 7k, Louis/Harry)

a series of canon-complaint angsty vignettes that follow Harry and Louis through the years

Tears

🔹Just You and I (a starry sky) by @justanothershadeofblue (E, 7k, Harry/Louis)

"getting accidentally pregnant by his childhood best friend-with-benefits" was definitely not on Harry Styles' holiday to-do list - but apparently it's what has happened, so now he has to figure out how to tell Louis without ruining Louis' birthday, their family holiday, oh, and literally everything else about their lives. Oops?

🔹California stars by @justanothershadeofblue (M, 27k, Louis/Harry)

A month in the life (and diary) of one Harry Edward Styles, miner-become-farmer in the brand new state of California, and his hired hand, one Louis Tomlinson. AKA Harry goes to San Francisco for supplies, but ends up with more than he bargained for.

An Advent Calendar fic.

🔹the prettiest customer (and the cutest barista) by fearsparks / @onlythebravest (G, 1k, Louis/Harry)

“So there’s this guy,” Harry repeated. “And I really like him.”

“Is he cute?”

“The cutest,” Harry said with a bright smile, turning around to face Louis. His cheeks felt warm, but he ignored it, pushed past it. “Prettiest boy I’ve ever seen.”

“Ooh, tell me more.” Louis rested his head in his hand.

(Louis is the pretty customer that comes in and orders hot chocolate while Harry is the cute barista that takes his order.)

🔹party behaviour by fearsparks / @onlythebravest (T, 1k, Harry/Louis)

“Harry darling, get me a beer.”

Without looking at him, Harry flipped Louis off, causing Louis’ group of friends to laugh and ooh some more.

“Why’s he doing that?” Anya asked.

Harry lifted one shoulder in half a shrug as he said, “He’s just trying to show off to his friends. No big deal.”

(Harry and Louis are at a party, where their behaviours aren't exactly the best.)

🔹If you ever feel alone (Don't) by @beardyboyzx (G, 9k, Louis/Harry)

Louis is too busy worrying about helping his mum and paying the bills to let himself enjoy his teenage years and hang out with his friends. Enter Harry, who will help him reconcile with his friend and understand the difference between feeling lonely and being alone.

🔹Softer, Softest by @berzerkshires , @littleroverlouis (E, 1k, Louis/Harry)

A lazy Sunday afternoon of Harry appreciating the softness of Lou's body.

🔹Perfume Purgatory by @littleroverlouis (T, 4k, Louis/Harry)

Louis is enduring the purgatory of selling perfume as a seasonal employee at the department store where her girlfriend, Harry, is employed.

She still hates the mall but needs the extra cash to purchase Harry a special gift.

🔹Snow Squalls & Kitty Paws by @littleroverlouis (G, 8k, Harry/louis)

Louis and Zayn own The Future is Meow, a bookstore-slash-cat café, and are spreading the holiday cheer to their customers this Christmas Eve. A few morning snow flakes turn into a full-blown blizzard and before they know it, the safest place for them and their employees to spend the night is the bookstore.

Shop regular and object of Louis' affections, Harry, is also snowed in with them— as is another man who Harry seems more than friendly with.

Will it be a Christmas miracle if Louis survives the snow squalls, a seemingly unrequited crush, and a curmudgeonly tortoiseshell cat?

It all started with a big battle. One of those big end of the world battles where Louis feels so incredibly powerless, where he knows he won’t be able to do anything but stand on the sidelines and wait for Liam to come back. Not to downplay his own abilities, which in some circles are considered formidable, but when it comes to true danger – well, there is only one Slayer.

The Slayer.

Into every generation and all that, Louis knows it, but that doesn’t mean that he has to like it when Liam puts himself in danger every night. It’s bad enough when it’s just your run of the mill vampire, it’s different when words like apocalypse and end of the world get thrown around. Liam takes it in stride, as he always does, jokes about how they need to come up with a plural form of apocalypse because they’ve lived through more than one in their time on the Hellmouth, but there’s always this tightness in Louis’ chest when he watches Liam head out to another battle, unsure whether or not he’s going to come back.

Unsure if this will be the last time he’ll see him and he’ll have to live with his regrets for years to come. With the thoughts of what could have happened.

Attached to the gift, just under the bow, was a paper tag, and Harry wished desperately that he could write his own name there. ‘To Louis, from Harry.’ What a dream that would be. He’d grown fond of Louis over the time that he’d been watching him, wishing that he could be part of Louis’ life, of his world, regardless of the fact that the only thing Harry had ever known was working for Father Christmas—or Nicholas, as he’d preferred to be called. The one where Harry is an elf in Santa’s workshop, and Louis is one of the humans he’s been assigned to.

Niall is sitting on the couch in their tiny living room. He looks up from his laptop. “What happened?”

“The worst thing. I’ll never recover. I just reached into a box of free samples outside that new chicken restaurant. Only it wasn’t free samples. It was a man. Holding a box of chicken nuggets. His chicken nuggets. I stole this man’s food, Niall!”

A serendipitous meeting led former boy bander and current pop star Harry Styles to fall in love with a boy named Louis nine Christmases ago. Six Christmases ago, that boy left him to raise a baby that wasn’t Harry’s. And, well, Harry never quite got over that. But this year, he gets a second chance at first love.

A love letter to second chances, unconventional families, and Christmas in New York. Loosely inspired by James Arthur’s Emily and Dickens' A Christmas Carol featuring Liam, Niall, and Zayn as the ad hoc ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future. The ingredients for this Christmas treat include a wallop of a blizzard, a pinch of angst, a dollop of fluff, several cups of clichés, and The Rockefeller Center skating rink as a supporting character.

CHAPTER 30 -

NOW YOU KNOW ME, FOR YOUR EYES ONLY

A/N: Oof. I'm an emotional wreck over here. I think this is my best chapter yet. It definitely is my longest. I have been waiting to write this since... well, a very long time for sure. I hope you like reading it as much as I liked writing it!

>> Warnings: Some language (always), mild jealousy, alcohol consumption, partying, mentions of parental cheating

~~~~~

June 30th, 2015

It's Natalie's birthday, so you and Levi planned a little getaway. Of course, she caught on quickly, so it wasn't a surprise anymore. And she asked for just a few, specific things.

She wants it on the beach, she wants your close friends there, and she wants a lot of alcohol.

As you pull up, with Natalie and Levi, to the beach house you have rented, you feel an extreme amount of excitement building up. A beach party in general is fun, but a 'Natalie' beach party is going to be something else.

It's a big house. It has a wrap-around porch, tons of windows, a pool, and a staircase leading directly to the beach. It is beautiful, and perfect for the party.

You claim a room with an ocean view, before everyone else arrives, and open the back doors to let the breeze blow in.

There's suddenly some chatter downstairs, which lets you know that some others have arrived, so you head back out.

The girls squeal when they see you. Jade and Dana run up and give you a big group hug.

"Dream Team together again!" Jade shouts.

"Okay, this is clearly not for me…" Levi states, grabbing his bags and taking them to the room Natalie picked.

The four of you giggle.

"I'm so glad you could come!" Natalie exclaims.

"We can only stay til the morning, but we wouldn't miss it! This one told us about your parties!" Dana points to you. "It's going to be amazing!"

"It is now!" You hear coming from the front door, seeing Niall walk with Louis right behind him.

"Hell yes!" Louis adds. "What am I agreeing to?"

You all laugh.

The rounds are made of hugs and hellos, and once everyone is settled into rooms, you all gather on the couches and chairs in the living room.

"Anybody else coming to this shindig?" Niall asks. "I know Payno can't."

"Yeah. Three of my cousins- Hunter, Heidi, and Heather. You guys know Heather."

"Oh, Heather? She's cool." Louis states.

"Yeah, plus another old friend from school, Charlotte." She looks over at you, seeing you smile because you know her. "And, Harry."

Everybody turns toward you.

"Oh, fuck off you guys!" You shake your head.

"Literally, no one said anything Y/N." Dana chuckles.

"You're all impossible."

"Pot calling the kettle…" Louis replies.

You glare at them all and stand up dramatically. "I need a drink already!"

"Good idea, bartender. She winks.

You roll your eyes and walk to the kitchen island where all the alcohol is sitting.

You pour Natalie the first drink, seeing her walk up to the counter.

"It's okay that he's coming, right?" She asks.

"Of course. We're good." You nod. "Nothing weird or bad is gonna happen."

"So you're back to denying your feelings again?" She takes a sip of her drink. "I can't keep up!"

You sigh. "He just broke up with a fucking supermodel! Why would I even try to compete with that?"

"Uh, yeah, because he broke up with her for you!" Natalie exclaims.

"What? No he didn't… did he say that?"

"Well… no…"

"Okay then." You reply.

"You both are fucking ridiculous." She growls, grabbing her drink and walking back to the couch with everyone.

You frown at her, even though her back is turned to you, and pour yourself a shot of tequila. It's not your usual at all, but you can tell you're going to need it.

"Oi oi!" Louis shouts causing your eyes to snap over to the front door.

In walks Harry, wearing his usual black skinny jeans and a white shirt with a blue and green tropical print. Only a few buttons are done up, showing part of his sparrows and the top of his butterfly tattoo. His sunglasses are on top of his head and you notice how his beautiful curls are getting longer, sitting below his shoulders.

[Fuck, he's so gorgeous, it's not fair]

You feel your heart pounding as he walks over to you and stops at the counter.

He turns around to the group on the couches.

"Happy Birthday, Nat." He shouts.

"Damn right it is!" She throws up her hands and cheers. "Thank you!"

You chuckle and Harry turns back to you, dropping his bag on the stool next to him.

"This is gonna be interesting, isn't it." He states.

"I expect nothing less." You smile and shake your head. "Can I make you a drink?"

"Oh! Umm… sure. I'll take one of those." He points to the bottle of tequila and shot glass in your hand.

You pour him one, cheers with your empty glass, and watch him slam it down.

"Why are you doing shots? You don't like tequila…" He asks.

"You kind of need them for Natalie's parties." You chuckle.

"Oh! So it is definitely going to be interesting."

You nod. "It hasn't even started."

His eyes get wider. "Oh god."

You giggle, trying to hide the fact that you are biting your lip unintentionally.

"M'gonna find a bed and prepare myself for… all this…" he winks, and you can't help but watch him walk away.

Your eyes find Natalie, who is wiggling her eyebrows up and down.

[You'll definitely need a few shots tonight]

~~~~~

After everyone else shows up, and Heidi and Charlotte are done fawning over the boys of One Direction, the party gets into full swing.

Charlotte has made her way to the spot on the couch next to Harry, and he is focused on his conversation with her. She's your school friend, and you're happy she's here, but your jaw is clenched as you watch them from the other side of the room.

You feel a nudge against your arm.

"Whatcha doin Superstar?" Niall asks.

"Just hanging out."

"And maybe trying to summon some mind powers to shove your friend off the couch?" Niall laughs.

You see Harry's eyes subtly shift to you out of his peripherals, but keeps his focus on Charlotte.

You shake your head. "No…"

"Yeah okay Y/N."

"Niall, knock it off." You scold.

He brings his hands up in defense. "Okay. Just figured, with ya feelings and all, you'd… take this opportunity or something…"

"Opportunity for what exactly?" You glare at him.

"You two are impossible." He sighs. "I'm getting another beer."

He walks away and you roll your eyes.

[Nothing is going to happen. Not that you don't kind of want it to, but… it's just complicated, and you're scared. He broke up with a supermodel… so if she wasn't good enough then you know definitely aren't]

You feel another nudge on your arm and turn to see Natalie's cousin, Hunter.

"It's been a fucking long time, dude." You smile.

"Yeah, like, who the hell are you now?" He laughs and you give him a hug.

"That's a good question!" You laugh in reply.

You look back over to see Charlotte laughing as Harry tells her something funny.

Your chest tightens and you look back to Hunter, who happens to be looking in the same direction.

"I need a shot."

"Same." He replies.

He follows you over to the kitchen, and you jump up onto the counter, pouring two more shots. You down it quickly and as you look over to the couches, you see Harry's head turn back to Charlotte. He says something, she nods, and he gets up from the couch.

Your heart starts to race again as he walks over towards you.

As he gets to you, he reaches his hand out to Hunter. "Hey mate, I'm Harry."

"Yeah, man, it's nice to finally meet you. I'm Heather's brother, so I hear a lot about you guys."

"Oh, right. Awesome." He looks at you. "May I have another, please?"

You nod, hand him another shot, and he lifts it up. "Cheers." He shoots it back and places the glass on the counter.

Hunter touches your arm and leans in. "I'm gonna chat with Charlotte real quick, I'll catch up with you later."

"Have fun…" you reply.

Harry's gaze follows Hunter as he walks over to Charlotte, and you watch Harry.

"I know he's liked her for a while, but no moves have been made, so you don't have to worry." You state, clearing your throat as Harry's head snaps back to look at you.

"What? No. I don't…" he furrows his brow. "No, we were just chatting."

"Oh. Okay." You reply, feeling relieved and a little foolish for potentially sounding jealous.

"Are you having fun?" He asks, leaning against the counter.

You shrug. "Yeah. You?"

He shrugs too. "I'm waiting for it to get crazy."

You laugh, and look over at Natalie, who is turning up the music as Levi sets up some red solo cups on a table.

"Well, I think it's about to…" you gesture towards your friends.

"Really? Beer pong?" He asks.

"Not exactly…" you respond.

"Tequila Pong!!" Natalie shouts, and everyone around her cheers.

You shake your head as Harry's mouth drops open.

"Y/N! Get your ass over here!" Natalie shouts.

You look over at Harry, his mouth still open, and shake your head when you turn back to Natalie.

She pouts. "It's my birthday, you're my partner, and you're also the reigning champ!"

Harry lets out a huge laugh. "Oh my god!"

You smack his arm and hop off the counter, shrugging at Harry as you make your way to the table.

"I've gotta see this." He states as he follows close behind.

~~~~~

The first two games end quickly. Natalie wasn't lying, you are very good at it.

Harry is standing close to the opposite end of the table with one arm across his chest and the other pulling on his lip, as he watches intently.

"Okay friends. Niall and Louis, lost. Hunter and Charlotte, lost. So who's next?" Natalie asks, pointing around at the group.

"I'll have a go at it." Harry states.

"Really?" You chuckle.

"Yeah, seems easy enough." He replies, and you let out a huge laugh.

"Okay, cocky. Hope it's not a huge blow to that ego when you lose."

He smirks at your trash talk and you stick your tongue out at him.

Levi steps up to be his partner and Natalie bounces in excitement. You motion for them to start.

Harry sinks his first shot and your mouth drops open this time.

"I think my ego will be fine." He winks.

You squint at him and take your own shot, also sinking it into the cup.

After a lot of back and forth, almost all of the cups are empty, leaving one cup on each side of the table. Both Natalie and Levi miss their shots, so it's down to you and Harry. He goes first and it bounces right over the rim. He throws up his hands and the group on his side all groan.

Now it's up to you and you focus as you line up your shot. Your eyes momentarily snap up to Harry as he bites his bottom lip.

"Don't miss." He whispers, and you keep your eyes on him as you take the shot, landing it right into the middle of the cup. Everyone on your side cheers and Harry bows to you.

He shuffles around the table to your side and shakes your hand. "Well played."

"You too. Wasn't expecting that."

"I can say the same."

He licks his lips and pulls them in, then looks down to see that you two are still shaking hands.

He clears his throat. "You were right, this did get wild."

You let out a big laugh. "Oh no, no. Trust me, there's more."

You hold up your finger, knowing exactly how Natalie will continue the night.

"What do we do next?" Natalie asks. "Never Have I Ever?"

You slightly lean towards Harry and whisper "or strip poker."

"Or strip poker?" Natalie adds.

Harry holds in a laugh.

"Strip poker!" He yells.

"What?" You yell back.

"I hate Never Have I Ever. We do it so much in interviews and it never turns out well for me." He replies.

Much to your relief, most of the group votes for the game that Harry hates, and he groans.

You each have a drink in hand, only having to take tiny sips if you answer that you've done it. You find a seat on the couch and watch as Harry sits in a chair directly across from you.

You feel pretty good about the statements you have had to drink for. You admit to skinny-dipping, like you did that one night with the guys. You also admit to having a one night stand, which was in high school, and sneaking out of your house to go to a party. Then it was Natalie's turn. She is looking in the direction of Louis.

"Never have I ever… slept with someone sort of famous…"

Your entire body freezes and your eyes dart over to hers. She drops her head and you can barely make out her whispering "shit".

You look over at Harry and close your eyes. You, Harry, and Heidi each take a drink.

"Heidi? Who did you sleep with?" Heather asks.

"That guy from that band… Stationed… or something like that?"

"That's a local band, sis, that's not even close to famous…" Natalie states, causing Heidi to shrug.

"Well, we all figured that Harry would be sipping." Charlotte giggled. "But who was yours Y/N?"

You shake your head. "I can't say."

"Oh, come on… who was it?" She asks.

You look over at Natalie again, and shake your head.

"She doesn't have to answer. Let's move on. I think it's your turn, babe. Last question." She points to Levi.

You clear your throat as Levi asks something about smoking weed, but your head stays down.

As soon as the game ends, you stand straight up off the couch and Natalie quickly shuffles over to you. "I'm so fucking sorry Y/N/N. I was looking at Niall and Louis when I asked. Kind of surprised they didn't drink. But I'm so sorry!"

"I need some air." You turn and walk out to the back patio, sitting in one of the lounge chairs.

Eyes closed and head back, you hear the door open.

"I'm fine, Nat." You state.

"Not Nat." Niall says.

"Hey." You open your eyes and sit up.

"You okay?" He asks.

"Yeah." You nod. "The question just caught me off guard."

"Right." He nods. "But what about everything else?"

You furrow your brow and look right at him. "What's everything else?"

He sighs. "Fucking hell, Y/N/N. Why are you making yourself miserable?"

You gasp slightly.

"You still love Harry. I know it, you know it. I think half the people here know it." He adds. "You're not with that asshole Ryan, he's not with Candice. Just talk to him!"

"It's too complicated…" you respond.

"Nothing will happen if you don't talk to him." He replies.

"I don't know if I want anything to happen."

"Oh, c'mon, that's not tru-"

"Yes it is, Niall!" You huff out. "I'm not enough, I wasn't enough, and I don't want to put myself through that again."

"Y/N/N…"

"He figured I couldn't handle being with him and maybe he was right. Maybe I can't keep up. He shouldn't have to worry about going out in public with the person he's with. I'm not Candice. She's a fucking supermodel. She's used to that lifestyle. That's what he needs. Well, someone like that anyway."

A few tears start to form and you wipe them away.

"Y/N, stop. None of that's true."

You shake your head. "I just want to be his friend. I can still be in his life and he can have whatever he needs with someone else."

"But you love him." He argues.

"I don't think that's enough anymore."

The door opens again and you both look over to see Harry standing in the doorway.

"Hi."

You clear your throat. "Hey."

"Well, I'm gonna grab a drink. See you inside." He leans over and gives you a kiss on the cheek, then pats Harry's shoulder as he walks back into the house.

You blow out a deep breath, trying to keep composure as he takes the seat where Niall was just sitting.

"You alright?" He asks.

"Yeah. Sorry. Just maybe a bit too drunk."

"You don't have to be sorry."

You shrug. "I wouldn't have made it awkward in there if I wasn't."

"Natalie asked the stupid question." He growls. "And I'm the one who… who made it so you had to answer it…"

You look directly into his intoxicating green eyes, making you feel as if you could be drunk on them alone, even without the alcohol.

[No, dummy, you feel that way because of the alcohol]

"I'm… I'm not upset that I had to answer it… I…" You attempt to lean forward on the edge of the lounge chair but it starts to tip, causing you to start to fall off. You grab Harry's shoulder as he grabs your hand, pulling you up as he stands.

"Shit." You smack your hand on your forehead.

"Maybe we should get you inside. Maybe to bed." He suggests.

You pout. "I'm drunk but I'm not that drunk. Just… not as coordinated as usual."

He chuckles. "Are you sure? I don't want you hurting yourself."

"You're so sweet." You immediately blush and clear your throat. "I'll be fine. The party isn't over yet."

"Seriously?"

"It's probably winding down now… are they playing 'spin the bottle'?"

He bursts out laughing. "Yes!"

"Okay, I think she's about to order about ten pizzas and suggest watching a movie."

"What, is like every party exactly the same?"

"No." You shake your head. "But I know her too well."

He nods.

"Plus she told me her plans." You smirk.

His mouth drops open. "Oh my god, you little…"

You burst out laughing this time. "That was fun!"

He glares at you, looking down at your big grin, then back to your eyes.

"I can't believe you."

He is still holding your hand as he opens the door to go back inside, and you let go before you walk through the doorway behind him.

He looks back at you and drops his head for a second.

"Okay, how many pepperoni?" Natalie asks, causing you to giggle as Harry looks back at you again, this time with a big, dimpled smirk.

[Damn, you've missed that smirk. Shit. No!]

You hum slightly as you take a deep breath in, feeling your heart flutter.

[Oh, whatever, you're drunk, you can admire it]

~~~~~

July 1st, 2015

You wake up on the couch, with a blanket laying on top of you. You sit up slightly, feeling a decently painful throb.

"Oh my god." You groan, holding one side of your head.

You hear another groan coming from someone on the floor next to you and you peer over to see Harry laying there with just a pillow under his head.

"Shit." He states, squinting as he tries to adjust his eyes to the light.

"Harry? Did you sleep on the floor all night?"

"Mhmm." He hums.

"Why?"

"I… well, you were pretty drunk… I wanted to make sure you were okay."

"You were drunk too…" you reply.

"Yeah, but I wasn't twirling around, with a whisk in my hand, belting out 'Don't Stop Believing' over and over."

Your cheeks are flooded with embarrassment. "Oh my god… I didn't…"

He nods.

"Did I do anything else stupid?"

He scoffs. "It wasn't stupid! It was probably the best part of the night."

You smile.

"My favorite part at least." He utters under his breath.

You gasp slightly.

He clears his throat and slowly starts to stand up. "I'll make coffee."

"Thank you. I'm going to take a quick shower." You get up from the couch and make your way to the bedroom, grabbing some clothes, and going to the bathroom.

As you let the water wash over your body, moments from the night before start coming back.

You remember sitting on the couch all together as you ate your pizza, with your legs draped over Harry's. You remember giggling during the entire movie. Of course, you now remember singing and dancing around with that damn whisk.

You shake your head and laugh at yourself, washing the conditioner out of your hair. As you turn off the shower, and wrap yourself in a towel, you gasp.

You remember something else. You remember that you tried to kiss Harry.

"No! Fuck! No!" You groan, keeping as quiet as possible.

And then you also remember that he pulled away.

"Oh my god. Y/N, you idiot!"

You get dressed in a black tank top and jean shorts over your swimsuit, throwing your hair back in a low bun.

You stop at your door, extremely nervous to walk out there and face Harry, embarrassed about your actions last night.

[He rejected you. Of course he did, you dummy]

You take a deep breath and head back out to the kitchen. You hear a bit of clanking around, and as you turn the corner, you see Harry making breakfast. Or brunch, rather.

"Smells so good." You state, taking in the scent of the delicious food he has prepared.

"Thought I'd make some hangover food that I know you like."

"Oh?" You reply.

"Breakfast burritos!" He grins.

You giggle. "That's perfect."

He puts one on a plate and places it in front of you. "How're you feeling now?"

"The shower definitely helped." You take a bite and then look directly at him. "Some embarrassing memories came flooding back though."

"Oh yeah? Like what?"

"Definitely remember the singing and dancing now."

He grins.

"And, just, like the movie and stuff." You gulp. "Did I do any other stupid things I should know about?"

He looks down at his burrito and then back up at you.

[Shit. He remembers…]

"No. You didn't do anything stupid." He gives you a smirk and then takes a bite of his food.

You exhale. "Oh good."

[Good! Maybe he doesn't remember]

He clears his throat. "I, uh, saw everyone outside on the beach. Wanna go down there?"

You smile and nod. "Okay."

You grab your sunglasses as he goes to change. You take some breaths to calm down your nerves, but they only come right back as Harry walks back out.

He's got on a dark blue button up, with literally no buttons done, completely open and showing all of his tattoos.

[Holy fuck]

He has on white swim shorts and a sunglasses sitting on top of those gorgeous locks.

[Well, if you were drunk right now you would definitely be attempting to kiss him…]

"Ready?" He asks.

"Mhmm."

He motions for you to lead the way and you both head out of the door, down the patio steps, and right onto the beach.

You drop your towel, put your sunglasses on, and jog over to your friends.

"Hey pretty lady. How do you feel?" Natalie asks.

"Good… what about you?"

"The night is a blur but I feel fine." She replies, causing you to glare at her apparent lack of a hangover.

"Hey, love! We need another player! Wanna join." Louis asks.

"For what?"

"Volleyball! We had to makeshift a net and shit but it works."

You look over at Harry, who is sitting on his towel, with his knees pulled towards him, reading a book.

[Maybe this will take your mind off of the stupid drunken stunt you tried to pull last night]

"I'm not gonna turn down an opportunity to kick your ass!" You joke.

"You're on my team, you little shit!" Louis exclaims.

"Oh." You bend over laughing.

He shakes his head and you walk over with him to the volleyball court they've seemed to have made.

~~~~~

<< HARRY'S POV >>

If Harry thought he couldn't love you more, he was wrong. And it's killing him.

Watching you laugh, hitting the ball around, and joking with all your friends… it's bringing him so much joy, and yet so much pain.

He thinks about how you tried to kiss him last night. He so badly wanted your lips on his, but he knew you were drunk, and didn't want you to regret anything in the morning. He didn't want to pull away, at all, but he knew he had to.

You don't seem to remember it anyway. You didn't bring it up in the list of memories that came to you in the shower. He feels as if that proves it would've just been a drunken mistake for you.

He wasn't lying when he said you didn't do anything stupid. It wasn't stupid to him. But it's hard to not want to kiss you right now, so he will just sit and watch from afar, so that he doesn't do anything stupid himself.

He's got his book, but he can't seem to keep focused on it. Whenever he hears you laugh, he looks over. He misses hearing that sound every day.

He sighs and lays back on the towel, covering his eyes with his arms.

He takes a few deep breaths to calm down his heartbeat when he hears a shuffling near him. He opens his eyes and looks to the side.

"You don't want to join in on the fun?" Natalie asks, reaching around into her small bag.

"I'm having fun…" he replies.

"I can sit out if you wanna play…"

He props himself up on his elbow and looks over to you, sighing when he hears you laugh again.

Natalie drops down to sit by her bag, but looks over to him.

"Harry…"

"Yeah?" He looks over to her.

"Please talk to her."

"What?"

She sighs. "You're going to be miserable until you do."

"Why the hell do you care, Nat? You hate me." He scoffs.

"Honestly, I don't know why I care." She shrugs. "But… I don't hate you. I just hate what you did."

"I hate it too."

"So why not just talk to her?" She asks, brow furrowed out of confusion.

"She…" he looks over to you, seeing you laugh while you bump into Louis as you both run for the ball. "She deserves everything good."

"Okay?"

"And I already failed." He sighs.

Natalie brings her fingers up to the bridge of her nose. "I can't believe I'm about to say this, but everybody makes mistakes, Harry. And… I know you love her…"

"I'll settle for friendship. I still want to be in her life, I'll take what I can get."

"But you love her, Harry!" Natalie shouts, looking to the group to see if anyone heard.

"She deserves more."

Natalie smiles as she finds her phone in her bag and stands up. "Well, figure it the fuck out, because both of you are annoying the hell out of me!"

"Both?"

"Okay, party pooper. Come join in if you want to play." And Natalie runs off to rejoin the group.

~~~~~

Heather, Heidi, and Charlotte went inside after some short time in the water. Hunter soon followed.

The rest of you finish your game of volleyball and decide to head into the water to cool off. The others are already in just their swimsuits, but you run back to your towel to take off your top layers.

As you get to your towel, and kneel down, you try to peek under Harry's arms to see if he's awake.

"Hey!" You whisper.

You see a small smirk form and he moves his arms to look over at you.

"Hello…"

"We're going in the water. You should come."

"I don't know…" He replies.

You grunt. "Boo." You pull your tank top over your head and remove your shorts. All you have left on is your black bikini with a white patterned trim. You stand up, putting your hands on your hips.

"Okay you big snooze. I'll see you back here." You walk off to the water and just as you reach the shoreline, you feel a warm presence next to you.

At your side stands Harry, looking down at you as he twists his hair up into a bun. You both look at the ocean for a moment.

"It's pretty, isn't it?" You ask.

He doesn't reply, so you look over to him and find him staring out at the water too. Your eyes roll over his perfect jawline and glistening green eyes.

He takes a few steps into the water and looks back at you with a mischievous look. He grabs your wrist and pulls you in.

"Come on ya big snooze!" He exclaims, causing you to burst out laughing.

He lets go of your wrist as you both wade in further to join your friends, getting about waist deep.

You talk about the night before and the next leg of the tour, before Niall and Louis decide to go back so they can find the local pub they heard about.

Natalie and Levi mention they are going back in too, leaving you and Harry alone in the ocean. You both wade in just a little deeper, so that the water is right under your chest.

"Does it make us lame, or fun, that we've stayed out here?" You chuckle.

"Definitely fun. I'm here!" Harry replies.

"Oh right, I forgot, you're the king of partying." You chuckle as you roll your eyes, remembering how many times he chose to stay at the hotel rather than go out.

[But maybe that was because of you]

"There's someone who could take that title." He chuckles.

"Oh yeah? Who?"

"The champ of 'Tequila Pong' and new lead singer of Journey."

Your mouth drops open and you splash water in his face. He cups his hands to splash you back.

"Don't. You. Dare." You warn him.

"Or what?" He smirks.

"Yeah… I've got no leverage here… but you're a nice guy…" you pout.

"Hmmm… okay…" he frowns, but pulls his hands away. "You're lucky I like ya."

You subtly gasp.

[It feels so good, and so sad, to hear him say it, even just casually like that]

Your thoughts are broken up as you hear shouting from the shore.

"Can you even understand what Nat is saying?" You ask.

"Something about… drinks… soon…?" Harry squints, like he is trying to read her lips.

"Okay…" you yell to her, seeing her run back to the house, and you turn back to Harry.

"Should we go in?" You ask.

He looks at you, letting out the mildest grunt, before looking back out into the sea.

"M'gonna stay out here a little longer. I like the quiet." He replies.

You just look at him, admiring every beautiful feature of his face, and the pensive look he has displayed on it.

You two have a little conversation about vacations with your families, and then float on your backs for a little while, just enjoying the peace as the sky gets darker.

Suddenly, something hits both of your faces and you open your eyes.

"Is it fucking raining? In July?" He asks, frowning as some raindrops hit his face.

"Let's go in." You giggle, starting to wade back to shore.

As you get about thigh level, you lose your footing for a second and Harry grabs your waist to keep you steady. You instinctively place your hands on his, then stop walking and stand up straighter.

"Good?" He asks.

"Yeah." You let out, as breathy as an answer could be. You clear your throat and let go of his hands, as he lets go of your hips, but then he reaches down for the hand closest to his and walks in front to lead the rest of the way in. Your heart starts thumping and you're thankful that the noise of the ocean is drowning it out.

[Can you have a heart attack from being so overwhelmed by someone? Shit.]

You get to your stuff, and grab it all, running back to the house as heavier raindrops fall down on the both of you.

You compose yourselves on the patio, drying off and wiping the sand off your legs.

You look up to see Harry looking down at you, a smile on his face and almost a twinkle in his eyes.

"What?" You smile back.

He shakes his head, keeping his smile. "Nothing."

You stand up straight and unintentionally scoot closer. "Come on. What?"

You can feel his breath on your face now and see him look down at your lips, pushing out a strong exhale which touches your face instantly. Your breathing immediately speeds up.

He shrugs. "M'just having a good time."

You bite your lower lip. "Me too."

[Get it together Y/N… he's a big flirt. That's all. He rejected your kiss, remember?]

You can feel yourself start to blush, so you open the door, and as you look inside you realize that no one else is in the house.

"Where'd everyone go?" Harry asks, walking in right behind you.

"They can't all be in bed, right?"

You both walk through the house, checking all the rooms, and realize that the two of you are the only ones there.

You pull out your phone from your little bundle of clothing and call Natalie.

"Nat, where the hell are you guys?"

"Umm… the bar…"

"What?"

"I told you that!"

"When?"

"When you were in the water with Harry."

[Oh my god, that's what she was yelling about]

"Shit!"

"You said okay…"

"What are we supposed to do?"

"Hmmm… I don't know… order dinner?... have a drink?... actually talk to each other about your feelings?..."

"You sneaky bitch."

"What?"

"This was on purpose?"

"Umm… (Niall, she's onto us!)... No!"

"Niall too? You guys suck."

"Have fun! Bye!"

"No, Na-"

You look down at your phone to see that she has hung up, and you growl.

"So where is everyone?" Harry asks.

"They all went to the fucking bar."

"Oh really?" He chuckles. "Well, umm, want to order food?"

You shrug, dropping your phone on the kitchen counter. "Sure. I'm gonna take a shower first."

You take a quick shower, so you don't get lost in your thoughts too much, and put on some cloth shorts, a t-shirt, and an oversized sweater.

You shuffle out to the living room and Harry stands up, looking at his phone.

"Is Chinese okay? That's the closest thing."

"That sounds really good." You reply.

He hands his phone to you so you can add your order in the app, handing it back when you're done. He chuckles. "I should've known you'd pick the orange chicken."

You roll your eyes, as he puts in the order. "M'gonna take a quick shower too."

You make your way to the couch as he heads down the hallway. You grab the remote and scroll through the movies. By the time you've picked something to watch, he's already walking back out.

He plops down on the couch next to you, and you take a quick glance. You wonder how he has the ability to wear a plain white t-shirt with grey sweatpants and still look sexy as hell.

"So what're we watching?"

"Interstellar?"

"Love Christopher Nolan. Good choice."

The food arrives and you play the movie while you eat.

"Want a drink?" He asks, after clearing your plates.

"Yes please! Just a ru-"

"Rum and coke?"

You can't help but giggle. "Yes please."

He comes back over and hands your drink to you. He sits back down, and you notice that he is a bit closer to you now. Tingles start shooting through your body, and you wish you could just run your hand through this long, brown curly hair.

You start to feel warm so you remove your sweater, tugging down on your t-shirt so it doesn't cling on and come off too.

Harry chuckles as he looks down and points to your Rolling Stones top. "Is that why Ryan thought you were cheating with me?"

"What? How did y-... No, he never knew this was yours." You reply.

"He was a dickhead for even accusing you."

You drop your head. "It was probably the most hurtful thing he said."

"Oh. Umm… I'm sorry he brought me up and made it awkward or whatever."

"No, not because of you. The cheating part. He knows what happened with my parents so he knows I'd never do that." You frown at the reminder of Ryan's accusation.

"Oh! I'm sorry he did that. Like I said, a dickhead."

You nod, still frowning and looking down.

"He cheated on my mom." You blurt out quietly.

"What?" Harry scoots closer to you, his arm resting on the back of the couch.

"My father. He cheated on my mom."

"Oh, shit. I'm so sorry." He replies.

It's silent for a moment, and he runs his hand through his hair.

"Y/N…"

"Yeah?"

"You said what I did to you was like what your father did to your mom." He states.

"I…" you stutter.

"But I would have never cheated on you."

You let out a big sigh, still looking down. "I know. That's… that's not why I said it."

"Oh? Umm, what was it then?"

"We don't need to talk about this, Harry."

"I'd like to know if that's okay?"

You let out a big sigh. "When he left, he walked out making sure she knew that he found someone he thought was better. He actually told her that she wasn't good enough. Who does that? Who does that to someone they once loved? He made her feel like nothing. Like she was nothing, and meant nothing." You pause to clear your throat a bit. "He told me and Sam that it had nothing to do with us, that he loved us and would always be there for us… but he never called. Not once. And so we felt like nothing to him too."

You start to tear up. "Not one fucking call!"

"Y/N… I'm so sorry."

"She cried for months. She was convinced she hadn't been good enough, like he said. That if she had done something differently, he wouldn't have wanted to find someone else. Someone he said was better."

"Y/N-"

"I told myself I was never going to let anyone make me feel that way. I never wanted someone to know me so deeply, to tell me they love me, and then throw me away. So, I focused on school and closed myself off. Even to friends. Natalie was the only person who got me to really open up and let someone in, until-" you sigh and quickly glance at him before looking down again. "Until I met you."

You wipe the tears that are now trickling down your face.

"Shit." He whispers.

"When… I mean… I told you how I felt about the night of the SNL after party…"

"And I'm still so sorry."

You shake your head. "You don't need to be, I forgave you. But…"

He winces.

"But when you…" you close your eyes and whimper, letting more tears flow down your face. "When you broke up with me, because you didn't want photos of me taken with you, it opened up the wound that my father had left. I felt like I wasn't good enough again."

You hear Harry start to sniffle, and when you look up to him, you see tears slowly trickling down his face too.

"Y/N, I am so sorry. I never meant to make you feel like you weren't good enough. Ever."

You sigh.

"I was nervous." He adds.

"What?"

"I didn't want people making up tons of bullshit about you and it hurting you."

"Harry… kids talked about me and my family a lot when my dad left. I have thick skin. I don't care what people say."

"I was also terrified. I was so scared that you'd be overwhelmed by all the bullshit I have to go through. That it would all be too much."

You shook her head. "I told you it wasn't…"

"I know. But… I've heard that before, from people I didn't care about nearly as much as I love… loved… you. And it hurt back then with them, so I was selfishly protecting myself from that. I knew it would hurt way more if that happened with you."

"I wouldn't have done that. I love… loved… you. I wouldn't have done that."

"Maybe I was also like you too." He states, turning his gaze up to your eyes and widening his slightly as he sees you looking right back at him.

"What do you mean?"

"I… I think it would've hurt me that much, yes because I loved you, but also because… you were the only one to treat me as 'Harry', and not 'Harry Styles from One Direction'. Besides my family, you know me better than anyone. Probably even more than the guys." He clears his throat again, looking away and wiping a tear from his cheek.

"I was terrified that I had opened up to you that much and it wouldn't… it wouldn't have been enough for you to stay if you got overwhelmed."

"I'm so sorry I made you feel that way."

"You didn't. I guess I was protecting myself from getting to that point."

"Harry…"

He runs his hand through his hair and frowns.

"It wasn't fair to you. I was just scared."

You sigh. "Me too."

You both sit in silence again, both staring at your own hands and fidgeting with your own fingers.

"I don't want you to hate me." He admits.

Your eyes shoot up to meet his. "I don't hate you! We're friends now, right?"

"Y/N, I don't know if I can do that. I still lov-"

"Please. Don't."

"Yeah. Sorry." He exhales. "Watching you this weekend… was torture."

"Huh?"

"You were so… playful, and happy, and free. And having so much fun. We never got to be like that, especially not in public. It's been too hard not to feel guilty about that. And… It's been too hard to not want that now. I still want to be with you. Probably now more than ever."

Your heart flutters as intensely as ever.

[You want that. You do want that]

You find yourself giving a single nod, and when you look up at him, he smiles, taking a look at your lips.

He leans in and your heart races. You can feel his warmth, and his breath, and your lips slowly get closer.

He rests his forehead against yours and you both breathe heavily.

[You want that. But you're still worried]

"I-..." You stutter, pulling away slightly. "I don't know if I can do it, again. Another time. I'm still too scared. I mean, you dated and broke up with a supermodel. I am far from that!"

"That's kind of the point." He smirks.

You look back down at your hands. "I don't know. I've still got those scars, even though you don't always see them. I don't show emotions."

"I'm sorry."

You shake your head. "But…"

You look up, seeing a hopefulness shimmering in his eyes, which makes you smile.

"I'm scared. If and when I do open up, the memories… and the pain gets too hard. But…"

He shifts in his seat.

"I didn't feel any of it when I was with you." You clear your throat. "I think that's why I'm scared. I'm scared of letting my guard down again and getting hurt again."

"I want you to know that you're enough for me, Y/N. I want to show you."

"Harry, you don't need t-"

"Yes I do! You need to know how good you are. How perfect you are to me." He replies.

An urge ignites inside you and you lean towards him, cupping his cheek and placing a soft kiss on his lips.

He exhales, smiling against your lips, but then pulls away.

"Give me ten chances to prove it to you."

"Ten?" You exclaim. "That seems a bit excessive…"

He frowns. "How about three?"

"I don't know, Harry."

"Please?" He pleads.

You giggle. "You're not gonna let me argue this, are you?"

He shakes his head.

"Three chances and…" he gulps. " Then you can ignore me forever if you want."

"I wouldn't do that. But alright." You smile and lean in closer to him again but he stops you.

"I want to wait. Is that okay? I want you to see the proof first."

You smile even bigger and nod. There's not an ounce of disappointment from rejection, only excitement and feeling… cherished.

[You feel cherished, even more than before]

"But we can cuddle while we finish the movie… if you want…"

You lean against his side as he places his arm around your shoulders.

"We are never gonna hear the end of it from Natalie and Niall, ya know." You state.

"What?"

"Apparently, they set this whole thing up. To leave us alone. To get us to talk."

"Hmmm…" He chuckles. "I suppose I should thank them but I hate giving them the satisfaction."

"Yeah, but I'll give them this win. Feels worth it so far." You look up and wink at him.

He leans down and kisses your forehead. "Last one… for now, I hope."

July 10th, 2015

:harry: can i have chance #2 today?

:you: harry…

:you: you sent me almost the entire inventory of a bakery and a florist

:harry: you gave me 3 chances

:harry: no arguing

:you: fine :)

:harry: meet us at the studio at 4pm

~~~~~

You show up to the studio, fidgeting with your fingers as you walk down the hallway.

[What could this 'chance' possibly be?]

You walk in to see the guys already in the recording room, and your eyes immediately fall onto Harry. He instantly sees you too and gives you the biggest grin.

Julian turns around. "Hello again Y/N!"

"Hi!". You walk up closer to the sound board. "What are they working on?"

"If I told you, I'd have to kill you." He chuckles.

"Worth it though?"

"Oh yeah!" He laughs. "It's called 'Hey Angel'. Super creative. It's in the lyrics."

You chuckle. "Awesome!"

"They're almost done with it. Take a seat if you'd like." You sit in the chair that he has pulled up next to him, and listen as Louis sings out.

(Hey Angel)

Yeah I see you at the bar

At the edge of my bed

Back seat of my car

In the back of my head

I come alive when I hear your voice

It's a beautiful sound

It's a beautiful noise

You look back over to Harry who is wiggling his eyebrows at you.

You shake your and listen as they finish up the song.

"Alright guys. That sounded good." He presses some buttons and this time they just stay in the recording room.

"Hey, Superstar!" Niall waves, grinning widely.

Louis and Liam also wave and you reciprocate the gesture, noticing that they are all smiling very widely.

"Okay. Umm… let's go ahead and do Harry's song now." Julia states.

Harry lets out a big breath and looks at the rest of the guys as he nods. "Ready?" He asks them.

His eyes lock onto yours.

"This is number two." He states, as the first chords start to play.

(If I Could Fly)

If I could fly

I'd be coming right back home to you

I think I might

Give up everything just ask me to

Instantly your heart starts racing. You can't seem to keep his gaze, while Liam sings his part next, shooting your eyes over to each of the guys before coming back to Harry.

For your eyes only

I'll show you my heart

For when you're lonely

And forget who you are

I'm missing half of me

When we're apart

Now you know me

For your eyes only

[Holy shit]

For your eyes only

[It's the song he sang to you at his house, on his birthday]

I've got scars

Even though they can't always be seen

And pain gets hard

But now you're here and I don't feel a thing

Your breathing gets rapid now, as you realize that Louis is singing the words that you had said to Harry at the beach house.

Pay attention I hope that you listen

'Cause I let my guard down

Right now I'm completely defenseless

Tears start sliding down your cheeks, and you do your best to wipe them away without making a scene.

While they repeat the chorus, you cross your arms around your waist, hoping to keep your body from shaking uncontrollably.

I can feel your heart inside mine

I feel it, I feel it

I've been going out of my mind

I feel it, I feel it

Know that I'm just wasting time

And I

Hope that you don't run from me

Even through your tears, you can hear their voices get softer.

For your eyes only

I'll show you my heart

For when you're lonely

And forget who you are

I'm missing half of me

When we're apart

Now you know me

For your eyes only

The music intensifies and so do their voices. As they all start to belt out the chorus again, your tears turn to sobbing.

For your eyes only

I'll show you my heart

For when you're lonely

And forget who you are

I'm missing half of me

When we're apart

Now you know me

For your eyes only

The others quiet down and you do your best to look up at Harry again, barely making out that he is still staring right at you, finishing the song.

For your eyes only

You feel so weak that you stumble over to the couch, bringing your knees up to your chest and burying your face between them.

You can hear the recording room door open, but can't muster up the energy or nerve to look up. Then you hear Julian's chair move, the studio door close, and some footsteps getting closer.

Someone sits down next to you, rubbing their hands up and down the sides of your legs.

"Y/N…" Harry whispers.

You can only manage out a whimper.

"Y/N… can you please look at me?" He asks.

You sniffle as many tears, and maybe some snot, as you can and raise your head. It's just the two of you now.

"Hi." He grins.

"Har-..." You stutter. "I…" you clear your throat. "I'm…" you sigh and drop your gaze again.

"Do you see how much you mean to me?" He asks, scooting closer and lifting your chin with one hand.

You blink out some tears and look at him again.

"I…" He lets out a deep breath and smiles. "I'll do absolutely anything for you. You think you're not good enough? You are everything to me, Sunshine."

You whimper hearing your nickname leave his lips.

"I don't want to be with anyone else, Y/N. I tried and I couldn't. I want to be with you. I want it so fucking badly, it hurts. And that's such a stupid, cliche rom-com thing to say, but it's true."

All you can do is close your eyes to clear some more tears, and it is silent until you look back up at Harry.

"I lov-"

"No, don't." You put your fingers up to his mouth to stop him, and you see a bit of panic in his eyes. "Not yet."

He lets out another deep breath. "Yet?"

You lower your head and bite your lower lip. "Just… not yet."

He shifts in his seat and his breathing starts to quicken, trying to hold back a smile. "Yet?"

"I…" you clear your throat. "I don't want to be with anyone else either."

Harry pulls you in so quickly that you don't have a chance to think before your lips are locked together and you're melting at his touch. You drop your knees and his upper body moves over yours as you sit back against the armrest of the couch.

You feel something hit your cheek, and as you pull back to look at Harry, you see him wipe away a tear.

"Shit. M'sorry." He frowns.

You shake your head. "Don't be."

You wipe your own tear away and bite your lip, then pull him in again to get another kiss. A much deeper kiss.

The door suddenly creaks open and you look over to see Niall's head peek in.

"It worked guys!" He exclaims, joining in with the cheers you can hear coming from behind him.

"Of bloody course it's Niall." Harry utters.

You laugh and you bring your hands down to cover your face.

"You sneaky little shits." You giggle.

"Umm… you're welcome, love." Louis states.

"Thank you, Tommo…" you reply, shaking your head.

"Alright, alright. Love you darling, but we've got work to do boys." Liam instructs, giving you a wink.

Harry grins and shakes his head before leaning down to give you a quick kiss on the forehead.

"You'll stay, right?" He asks, as he sits back up on the couch.

You bite your lip as you sit up too, leaning over and grabbing his face to give him one last kiss.

"Yes, H. I'm staying."

He gets up and starts to walk away, but you remember something.

"Wait, what was chance number three gonna be?"

He turns back around to face you and a huge smirk appears on his face.

"I'm still going to do it, but you'll need to wait."

"There’s just too much that’s too similar between the two of them to believe that they haven’t been in contact over the last 7 years. And if they have been, why pretend they haven’t? Unless it’s something more than just “contact”. Hi Gina. Sorry English isn't my first language. I hope you don't mind me pointing out but before you said Harry could never come out as it will be linked to Louis too much but this can be said for friendship too. If they had broken up (not saying they have) but remained friends they still wouldn't be able to express their friendship publicly as the moment they interact it will send Larries into a wind frenzy and it will be called 'the friendship narrative' and there will be so many expectations placed on them. So they really can't come out as friends either. For the most part I think they're still together but I have a horrible gut feeling that I can't shake that they broke up some when close to the pandemic. Harry went to Italy and Louis stayed in London. Their albums don't seem like they're about each other to me but previous ones did. Even when they have time free now they don't spend it together. But like I said I do think they're still together, just have a weird gut feeling that says different.

Hi love. I know what you're saying, but the quote above was from a post answering someone's question of "how can we be 100% sure" about whether H/L have struggled/had time apart etc. I wasn't talking about them coming out.

I don't know that I agree that they couldn't be seen as friends. Yes, at first, larries would probably be crazy about seeing them together. And yes, I'm sure some would start with the "friendship narrative". I think that would all fade with time if they were just interacting the way Louis interacts with Niall and Liam. It's the complete lack of interaction that makes it look suspicious.

I'm sorry you're feeling like they've broken up. For me, I don't think their albums are "about each other". But I do think there are songs within the albums that reference their relationship or things they've been through. I don't think we know where they spend their free time as 99% of the photos we have of them are from when they're working (and I don't know if any of us can imagine how busy their schedules actually are). But, for example, if you look at timelines from October and November of this year (god bless @louisshomesharry), we had no idea where Louis was for 18 days in a row before he showed up in NY. He could have been doing anything. It obviously doesn't mean he was definitely with Harry, but it also means that it's possible he was. There are so many examples of that. So, for me, the not spending time together thing isn't really true.

Anyway, however you feel, you feel. I'm not trying to change your mind. Just talking about my thoughts.

100% agree with your last anons about Azoff. Last one, do you think Harry had a double agenda? Inisiating the hiatus telling they boys it would be good for all of them while secretly planning/want the hiatus for his solo career.

Also, I think harry and azoff met in 2013 and they wanted harry when the band was over. He stuck with 1d until SC or ot5 decided to go for a hiatus and he signed to jeff. I think if H had the choice he might have continued with the band under better cricumstances. I feel like H and ot5 reached his breaking point and was dedinitely in favor of a break bc he wanted freedom and I feel like Jeff promised him more freedom (which he kinda has now). Same for niall, i think niall also found his label during 1d. I feel like if H really had a double agenda he wouldn’t have stayed until the end but idk

I don't think Harry was ready to go solo in 2013///

He definitely wasn't because 1d signed a new three album deal in early 2013 and Harry signed that contract same as everyone else. If he'd wanted to go solo he wouldn't have signed it.

Because I don't think it's a coincidence that louis and harry both are still with sony.//

Louis has been with BMG for over two years now.

Okay, these are the last ask i'll answer on this topic.

If the reported resigning 1d did in 2013 is true, they originally signed a 3 album deal and then signed for another 3 album deal, then we're due for another album when the hiatus is over (unless they signed a 3+2 or a 5 album deal from the start). We don’t know. There being an album left to make is making sense to me.

Yes, Louis is no longer under a Sony label for his solo music. He is under Sony image clauses and maybe have an album left to deliver for Sony as a part of 1d. Se above.

I don't think Harry had a double agenda. I think he had a plan for life after 1d, whenever that might be. I think he was committed to 1d. He is in a relationship with Louis and was so at the time. They don't kept secrets from each other. I think his hand were forced, due to bg, and he had less agency than people think. I think they all were exhausted and wanted a break, but nobody wanted to be the one saying it to the fans. I think the only one not wanting a break was Louis. He was just starting to find his confidence and was riding a wave. He had his boyfriend with him and his friends. Or he wanted the break too and this is all just talking points as part of is image. Who knows really.

WCC's Round Robin #2

Thank you @wabadabadaba (pink) @beelou (red) @lhhomefics (green) for participating! We finaly have our vampire fic! Hahahaha

“Of course it’s a gay vampire,” Zayn rolled his eyes. “Totally didn’t see that one coming.”

Harry laughed along with the others, hoping his laughter sounded real and not fake at all.

“Zed, we’re literally watching Interview With A Vampire. Of course they are gay vampires,” Liam rolled his eyes.

“Hey,” Niall spoke with a mouth full of popcorn. “Do you think if vampires were real they’d all be gay?”

Harry took a sip of his wine, most of the vampires he knew were gay.

“Probably,” Louis shrugged as he dug his toes under Harry’s thighs. “I mean, you live forever and you want to be straight? Kinda boring.”

“I don't think you can say that,” Liam frowned. “Isn’t that like…heterophobic?” Zayn, Niall and Louis all threw popcorn at Liam. “Hey! I’m just saying that sexuality isn’t a choice so it’s not fair to say that vampires would or would not choose their sexuality when they live forever.”

Louis sat up which meant an argument was going to start. Harry did not want to partake in this. Especially since he wasn't exactly impartial in this and had more information than the others, information that he couldn’t really let them know he had. He isn’t sure how to put a stop to the argument though because once Louis sets his mind on something, it's not easy to stop him from it.

“I mean why don’t we ask Harold what he thinks?” Louis started his argument by bringing Harry in right away. Usually Harry is okay with that, he’s always joining Louis in riling the others up so it was probably strange that he hadn’t said anything yet.

“Me? Why me?” Harry still asked because that was not the way to bring him into the conversation. Louis could have said anything else, why did he think Harry would know more than they did. But then maybe Harry was just overthinking this.

“You because he wants a guaranteed someone on his side,” Liam complained rolling his eyes.

“I’m not guaranteed, but I guess I see what you mean,” Harry mumbled.

“The dream team!” Louis pumped his fist in the air. “So, what do you think?”

“Why don’t we finish the movie?” Harry suggested, really trying to get out of this argument.

“Nobody is watching the movie, anymore, Haz.”

“I am,” Zayn spoke up.

“See? Zayn is watching it, now let’s stop talking and watch the rest of the movie.” Harry noticed that Louis was watching him strangely. “What?” Harry questioned.

Louis squinted as he stared at Harry, making him feel small and nervous. He glanced around at the other boys to see if they were paying attention to the movie or the way Louis was glaring at him. He was relieved they were watching the movie but he also wished they could see the way Louis was looking at him.

"What?" Harry repeated, this time quieter.

Louis shook his head and dropped his hands to his lap. "Nothing."

It didn't feel like nothing. It certainly didn't sound like nothing, judging by the uptick in Louis' heart rate. Harry brought his hand to his hair and brushed it through his long locks whilst it also covered his face. If he had a heart he knew it would be trying to beat out of his chest at that moment. He wasn't sure what was up and Louis always made him a little bit nervous even in the best of times, but now he was more than nervous. He was afraid because Louis’ behaviour made him wonder if Louis was suspicious.

Harry managed to ignore it and pay attention to the movie along with everyone else, for the most part but soon the movie was ending and he knew it was almost time to leave Zayn’s place and walk home. Usually, he and Louis would walk back together because they lived pretty close and Harry was dreading what conversation would come up on the way, if Louis didn't try to resume the argument with Liam before they left.

“Goodnight lads. Same time next week?” Louis asked, putting on his jacket and shoes.

“You know it,” Niall agreed.

“Alright, Haz? Are you ready to go?” Louis asked, waiting by the door.

“Yeah, yeah. Let’s go.” They both waved as they walked out the door.

The first five minutes they walked in silence. Harry didn’t know if he was imagining it, but it seemed like Louis kept staring at him. When Harry would look over, Louis would look straight ahead again quickly, hiding that he was looking at him.

“Okay,” Harry spoke as he stopped walking. “What is it, Louis? I can tell something is the matter. Did I upset you that I didn’t want to make the argument with you?”

Louis crossed his arms in front of his chest again as he shook his head. “No, that’s not it.”

Harry frowned and stepped closer. “Then what is it? I hate not knowing.”

“You’re so stubborn,” Louis sighed.

“Because I don’t want you to be mad at me?”

“Because you won’t tell me the truth!” Louis yelled, throwing his arms up. “I know you’re a fucking vampire, have known for quite some time actually and you refuse to tell me. I thought we were friends. I thought we were…” Louis trailed off. “It doesn’t matter I suppose because you don’t trust me.”

It had been a long time since Harry was stunned into silence. Normally he could talk to a wall. But this, this was everything he didn’t want to have happen. He didn’t want things to change and now they would. He would have to move again, have to go into hiding, change his name which was a shame because being Harry Styles was his favorite persona so far. Worst of all, he would lose Louis.

“It’s not that I don’t trust you, I just didn’t want to lose you,” Harry pleaded to Louis’ back.

“Well, you have a nice way of showing you don’t want to lose me,” Louis shrieked angrily, turning around towards Harry. He grabbed him roughly and moved towards a park so they didn't keep arguing on the sidewalk.

Harry wasn’t sure how that made sense and he didn’t know how he could fix it, how he could somehow make Louis forget so they could go back to Harry and Louis, so he could feel normal for once in his millenia long existence.

“I don’t know what you want me to say Lou, yes maybe I was a little selfish because around you I don’t feel like I’m some kind of monster, I just feel like myself and I didn’t for a long time. I couldn’t have you seeing that side of me,” Harry sobbed.

“Darling,” Louis sighed and removed his hand from Harry’s arm to bring it to his face. “I could never see you as a monster, and don’t you dare call yourself that either. Sure, you’re a vampire and I’m upset that you didn’t tell me about it but that’s all I am upset about. I don’t hate you for being a vampire. I could never hate you Harry.”

“Really?” Harry whispered. “I have the power to kill you.”

“I know that you won’t,” Louis said simply. “I trust you.”

“You trust me that much?”

“Of course. If you were going to kill me, you would have done it by now. We’ve known each other for two years. You could have done it at any time, but you didn’t. You won’t.” Louis said, running his hands through Harry’s hair.

Harry looked at Louis. His eyes flickered down to his lips and Louis licked them. Harry could hear Louis’ heartbeat quicken. He leaned in slowly.

“Tell me no if you want me to stop,” Harry whispered.

“Don’t you dare stop, Styles. Kiss me.”

Their lips met and the metaphorical sparks flew. It’s nothing like Harry imagined kissing Louis would be. It’s so much better. Louis’ thin lips slotted between his perfectly. They were soft and reminded Harry of what it felt like to be alive. Harry had managed to kick his vices decades ago but now that he tasted Louis’ kiss, he knew he was addicted.

“Louis,” Harry gasped as he pulled away. “I could get lost in this, lost in you.”

“Then why are you stopping?” Louis frowned as he tugged on Harry’s shirt to tug him closer.

“Mmf,” Harry groaned into Louis’ lips. “Because,” he kissed him again. “It’s been about sixty years since I’ve been arrested and I really,” another kiss. “Don’t want to go to jail for public indecency.”

“It’s dark, no one can see us.”

Harry nearly growled as he pulled Louis closer to him. “I don't want the chance for anyone to see you the way I want to see you. Besides,” Harry pulled away completely, trying to get some semblance of space between them. “I don't want to ruin this. I want this to last and I feel like it could. Let me take you on a date.”

“I’m not a virgin, Harold. You don’t have to wine and dine me.”

Harry scrunched his nose. “It’s not about your virginity. It’s about me wanting to do this right.”

Louis groaned but he was smiling. “Fine. But just so you know, I do put out on the first date.”

Harry grinned, finally allowing his fangs to show. “I was hoping so.”

Louis rolled his eyes and reached out to grab Harry’s hand. “Come on, walk me home Harold. You can tell me all about the date you’re going to take me on.”

Harry laughed, feeling light as air as he kissed Louis’ head and started walking towards Louis’ place. It certainly wasn’t what Harry expected of the night but he should know by now to expect the unexpected.

Man. I'm really fucking tired of Harry Styles. Seeing his face everywhere on social media, people not shutting up about him, men cosplaying his style and mannerisms (v v weird!) and As It Was being played everywhere that it gave me brain damage. He's been on tour for 3 years now and I'M TIREDDD. I was a fan up until a year and a half ago now he's just a fatigue I can't get rid of. Ever since Watermelon Sugar blew up the world hasn't known peace. I can't wait until he disappears. Aside from his tiktokfication (same thing that happened to Taylor), and people thinking it's cool to like him in general, I have a theory that his huge spike of popularity is due to the lack of active young male popstars. He literally has no competition. He blew up while Shawn Mendes wasn't active, Justin Bieber is a christain stay at home husband now, and even his direct competition from the band, Niall, also disappeared after covid hit and is just now coming back. I really hope his career takes off again. His latest album is what Harry's House thought it was. I JUST NEED TO STOP SEEING HARRYS FACE AND HEARING HIS SONGS. like my god, I'm sure the harriest harrie would admit they're tired if you press them enough.

i totally agree about young male white guys. it's not just with musicians, but white celebrity men in any avenue altogether. the only ones i can really think of are timothee chalamet and shawn mendes. i don't know if anyone else is quite famous enough? which is crazy. if we go back in time to the 2000s, to the 90s, the 80s, 70s, 60s, etc etc etc etc there were hundreds of white guys to choose from. talented musicians, talented actors. harry is pretty much the only white male popstar at the moment. with the death of rock and roll, there's not even any real contenders there to embarrass him.

there's no doubt this is a huge part of his success. i think he'd have flopped in any other era, especially without the creation and mythology of the larries and the industry to prop him up.

but the music industry to me is in one of the worst states it's ever been. music making isn't profitable anymore and it all comes with algorithms and AI sounding music. it's much harder for ordinary young people to get into it.

I honestly think Simon really wanted to push Liam originally but Harry and Niall had more charisma and presence, Zayn had better vocals and Louis was the behind the scenes person writing songs and managing things (tho he also had more charisma in interviews). Liam kinda ended up more in the background as the "basic" one.

You can even see the shift from the first album being so Liam focused to the second one. Niall and Louis didn't even get to really sing till Take Me Home.

It was Nicole who saw the potential in Niall and Harry, because she saw the charm and presence they could bring. Liam was there to do the actual singing, once the others could also sing the part Liam wasn't as center focus because he lacked the elements the other boys had.

Honestly if Zayn didn't have such bad anxiety he could probably be as successful as Harry. But I think he's happier chilling with his family and releasing music whenever he wants without promoting it or anything, he's already rich so I don't think he needs the money anyway.

Niall had a great album with Heartbreak Weather but he stopped promo once covid hit and it was sad because the songs on that album are great. What I love the most is that while all the boys in 1D were just learning how to sing Niall immediately started picking up other music skills like the guitar, it was Niall that later started teaching Harry how to play. That's I think part of what makes Niall so great he's always trying to get better and learning from other people, and he never releases anything unless he thinks is good enough.

Louis is so talented behind the scenes. He wrote most if not all of 1Ds greatest hits, he honestly had the strongest behind the scenes presence. He isn't as comfortable singing or performing but he's such a chill lad, his concerts are like hanging out with a friend that happens to know how to sing and is on a stage. He's also such a gem in telling fans to pirate his stuff if they can't afford it and lowering ticket prices to the minimum lol. Precious boyo.

And there's Liam who has struggled a lot with wanting to be the Justin Timberlake of one direction but never got there. He was in theory the perfect one to succeed with the singing and dancing... and yet. He also has a lot of personal struggles that bleed into his professional life but that's not our business. I think specially early on he felt like he was owed the success, but he just didn't have that It thing.

Harry always had the star quality, that boy was eating the stage up since he was sixteen. He was made for the stage. They can say whatever they want but all 1D fans knew Harry was going to have the best solo career. He just has the full star package.

God I've been in this fandom too long. I talk about stuff like this with my friends all the time, we kinda ended up agreeing that Liam had the basic voice of 1D and all the other boys added the flavour to it. Now that they all have solo careers the other boys developed their unique flavours but Liam just feels basic and generic. I feel cruel saying it but it's how i see it.

omg i strongly agree - we know liam was simon’s favourite. but i think nicole, being a woman, was able to see who would be more popular with teenage girls (aka their target demographic).

zayn is soo talented but yeah, i don’t think he enjoys the spotlight which is fair. i am still SO heartbroken about heartbreak weather, it’s an amazing album and deserves more :( but that’s a good observation about niall- he’s always pushed himself to learn and do better. and i loove louis, he’s so grounded and down to earth, he may not have the best voice but like you said, he does a lot of behind the scenes stuff. i honestly think liam needs a break to get himself together bc he’s been a mess for years now :// and yeah we all knew harry would do the best. liam does have the most basic voice haha and there’s nothing that sets him apart which is a shame, and one of the main reasons why he hasn’t done well

Finale pt 2

Last night felt like a dream. Today was the finale and you couldn't believe you had come this far. Harry and the band facetimed you before they went on for their concert and you cried at how proud of you they were. Tonight you would be singing with Niall and you had picked a very special song. Rehearsals were intense as both of you were singing to each other now. There were many times you guys ended up face to face breaths mingling into one.

“We match.” you smiled as you spoke softly to Niall who you were sitting next to for this segment.

“Sorrry?” he said leaning closer to you as a joke. You laughed and hit his arm. “They're gonna put that in too." He agreed with a laugh.

“I love the way you speak at one decibel- if even-”

Clips played of you in knockouts rehearsal with Reba and you answering Niall and Reba leaning in to hear you through the mic.

“Should we have a quiet off?” Niall suggested. You whispered very softly, “go ahead.” and niall whispered back a little lower than you, “im excited.” you smile as you let the smallest whisper out saying, “Delira and excira.” Niall ‘heh’ed’ you and you laughed leaning back in the seat. “I think B won that,” he admitted. “It's my game.” you shrugged.

“The first zoom I ever did with you, I was like- I thought audio was fully off. It wasn't.” you both laughed and you squished your face between your hands.

“I just get nervous. And when I get nervous my voice gets quieter.”

“Unless you ask her about tea or fruit. Then you can't shut her up.” You hid your face in your hands as Niall laughed. “Or Guiness.” you threw in. “A woman after my own heart.” he replied with a laugh, messing with the tips of his hair.

“Okay but like, I barely knew you then. But then in rehearsals and through team bonding and stuff you had us do it was like having a friend around. And when I perform it's like it's only you in the room.” he smiled at you before talking. “Yeah I'm just rooting you on. People like seeing nice people do good things. And I think B is a perfect example of that by just being herself.”

“Thanks.” you scrunched your nose at the complement. “You're just a nice person. Who’s finally starting to take people's compliments.” you scoffed at him which led him to smile at you cheekily.

“The song Bleu and I are going to sing is ‘Endless Love’ by Lionel Richie and Diana Ross.” you smiled softly at Niall as he spoke, “when we were going over inspirations and songs in one of our first zoom calls she brought that song up, and i knew that that was gonna be our song if- well when- she made it to the finals. It's also one of my favourite songs and i sing it every time i get drunk at Karaoke.” you laughed at his confession and he started to laugh with you.

“I didn't know that.” you laughed out. “Oh did I not tell you?” you both laughed even harder. “Which part did you sing?” you giggled. “Ill tell you this, its not the part i'm singing today.” You laughed as he shook his head at you.

“You know what to expect from this performance?”

“Slay.”

__________

You were on one side of the stage while Niall was on the other. The piano started to play and Niall raised the mic to his lips.

My love, there's only you in my life.

The only thing that's right.

Niall had walked to centre stage and you sand as you walked towards him

My first love, you're every breath that I take,

you're every step I make.

And I...

I...

I want to share...

All my love with you.

No one else will do.

And your eyes...

your eyes, your eyes...

They tell me how much you care.

Oh yes, you will always be my endless love.

As you sang you faced Niall who you saw close his eyes when you sang

Two hearts, two hearts that beat as one.

Our lives have just begun.

Forever...

I'll hold you close in my arms.

I can't resist your charms.

And love...

Oh love...

I'll be a fool for you, I'm sure...

You will know I don't mind.

Oh, you know I don't mind.

'Cause you, you mean the world to me, oh

I know I've found...

In you, my endless love.

You and Niall started to walk around the stage and each other closing the wide distance between you

Oh love...

I'll be that fool for you, I'm sure...

You will know I don't mind.

Oh, you know I don't mind.

And yes, you'll be the only one.

Niall outstretched his hand to yours and you linked your hand with his

'Cause no one can deny this love I have inside.

And I'll give it all to you.

My love...

My love, my love...

My endless love.

You finished standing in front of Niall with only enough room for your mics between you, his hand laced in yours resting on his pounding heart. You hugged him tightly when the audience roared and he swayed you back and forth. You let go of the hug and walked down the stage taking your in-ears out as if you didn't just confess all your feelings to him.

—---------------------------

nbcthevoice

nbcthevoice been waiting alllllll season for @/niallhoran and @/bleuwilson to SING together ❤️‍🔥👀

user9 WHAT ARE YOU NOT TELLING US AGJHGIKHBU

user4 this duet right here🥵🥴

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The time had come. You were standing on stage with the four other artists. You took a deep breath looking for Niall. When you met his eye he smiled and winked at you. You weren't sure if it calmed you down, but with the way you flushed you knew it probably didn't.

Each of you had a chance to say something to your coaches and when it got to you you smiled with watery eyes. “Wow, I'm not gonna cry, but your friendship and your mentorship has been so special to me and I love you. So thank you for choosing me and giving me this opportunity. Love you.” You watched Niall smile with his eyes closed and him say, “I love you, B.”

When everyone had finished Carson announced he would be announcing the names now.

“The finalist in 5th place is….. Novias.” you hugged him as he stood next to you and took Graces’ hand.

“The finalist in 4th place is…… Sorelle.” you hugged the girls with shaky hands and took D-Smooth's hand.

“The finalist in 3rd place is…… D-Smooth.” you were starting to freak out. You were shaking as Grace grabbed your hand. You saw Niall lean forward in his seat a bit and that made you even more nervous.

“Grace and Bleu, one of you is The Voice. This is the moment we've all been waiting for. By the way, this was the closest margin of victory in The Voice history.” you and Grace looked at each other with shocked smiles. You took a deep breath and closed your eyes as you heard Carson.

“The winner of Season 23 of The Voice is…. Bleu Wilson!” you swore everything went quiet as you opened your eyes up in shock. You looked at Niall to make sure you weren't hearing things and when you saw his face you dropped to the floor crying into your knees. You couldn’t believe your name was just called.

You felt a hand on your back and stood back up to see Grace holding her arms out for you. She hugged you tightly as you wiped away the falling tears with shaky hands. The confetti went off as you saw Niall waiting at the bottom of the stairs to let you have your moment. When the other artist came up D-Smooth was the first to hug you. When you let go Niall had his arms open and a silent scream plastered on his face.

More tears instantly fell as you waved at him and he laughed pulling you into his loving arms. “I told you!” he repeated as you let go. You shook your hand in front of your face and hugged him again. He wrapped his arms around you so lovingly, it took everything in you not to kiss him.

```

When you were done crying and hugging everyone you managed to disappear into the old rehearsal room. You walked around the somewhat dark room with the trophy in one hand and the other grazing over chairs and mic stands.

You heard the door open and a familiar figure step inside. “I knew I'd find you here.” The Irish accent was unmistakable. “I think you might know me better than I know myself.” you said, turning to him. He continued to walk towards taking your free hand in one of his.

“And why is that?” he whispered now that the distance had disappeared. “Because I want you too.” you whispered back. You watched his eyes search yours. He brought a shaky hand to your cheek, thumb caressing the bone. “I've wanted to do this for so long.” he whispered almost angrily. “Then do it.” and with that he took your lips into his with a soft exhale and you put the trophy on the chair next to you and took your hand threading it through his hair. He let go of your hand to wrap around your bare waist and you leaned in to him with a soft moan. The intensity of the kiss softened until his lips were just grazing yours as he spoke, “I'm so proud of you B. '' he said softly resting his forehead on yours.

You kissed his nose softly as you stepped away from each other. “Now we have press to deal with popstar.” he joked, pressing a kiss to your head. “Wait, this isn't gonna get you kicked off the show or anything-” he shut you up with a kiss you easily melted into. “No, I already talked to who I needed to talk to a long time ago.” you headed for the door that would lead you outside before Niall turned you to him and kissed you. “Sorry I had to.” you giggled as he opened the door for you and you laughed at all the people who cheered for you when you walked through with the trophy in hand.

I still think the promo wasn't clever tho. Bradford is zayn's hometown what they did there wasn't promo, it's not a big town people there already know zayn and it's not a tourist destination no one outside of bradford (and zayn's fans who already follow him on socials) saw what happened there, i think it was more something zayn wanted to do out of fond memories. Even the billboard stuff isn't enough on it's own, it's not the first time he got billboards, maybe not as many but he still had them, that's more something people will distractly look at it's not a motivation to listen to the actual song, fans did a better/more useful promo by asking to many reactors on youtube to make a video about the song. The social media was a good start considering his presence online sucked before but if they want people,as in gp, to actually listen to him they needed to pay for less billboards and posters around and more for big plylists on spotify and of course big radios even booking him radio interviews would've been a better move (at least for capital and i heart radio) but till now they did none of that. Zayn was away from the radar for so long that they need to bring interest about him again, i'm not saying it's easy partly for rca and partly for zayn's fault too the situation now it's not the best, they can't just put something out and hope for the best, zayn has not the same support of taylor swift for example,( who still by the way went on tv shows/made an appearance to one of 1975 conerts ecc) to promote her last album. What they need to do is something more similar to what Niall Horan's team did, booking him different radios/podcasts ecc interviews, giving him good playlisting and getting constantly his songs on radios, another very good thing they're doing his making him do a festival summer tour, to that add his place as judge on the voice and you'll see how clever their promo is compared to zayn's one.

Yeah, for real Zayn's stans went all out! They really came through for him.

Oh definitely Z needs to do more physical interviews and just keep the GP's mind on him but that also depends what they've all agreed on.

His interview on CHD was a HUGE, MASSIVE step for him, so when it comes to physical interviews, I guess we gotta give this time.

Also Niall and Zayn have different personalities so they really cant plan for Z what they did for Niall.

I've seen Zayn on soooo many playlists though, which ones do you think are better for him?

#And there's also a possibility Z doesnt care about any of this😭#zayn #and promo #playlisting #interviews

I havent kept up with any of the members since they disbanded really but Harry is just the one I see most and yeah I agree he wasn't giving anything really back then. He was just a pretty face and now that he's solo we can really see his talent. Im still not a fan but I do think he's talented and its nice to see he's more than what he was in 1D. Might be a controversial thought lol sorry if I offend anybody

I used to be a HUGE Niall fan and my family still pokes fun at me for it cuz it was so random. I also used to sing 1D songs on Skype with my friends (with the old lyrics videos up as well) in like 7th or 8th grade the cringe I have to deal with remembering these days lmao I was just a cringe Niall fan lol like I can listen to the music still but I hate going back to the memories😆 i had posters of Niall and I took like a picture of his face to school...like kill me lmao (sorry if you cringe at this, just know im cringing too) its all jokes now but omg 👀 what was i on lmao

I feel like Louis fans were rare, I never met anybody that liked him so thats a first. Did you ever get weird reactions for liking him?

Tiramisu cake and tea slaps. Thats one of my favorites. But yeah id imagine any cake and tea is good. Hopefully your cake is good dry and wet tho. I havent baked a cake in forever, I've been wanting to but im too broke for the ingredients and the actual supplies. So im sending my inner baker to you, hope she does something for your cake LOL

I used to have an entire shrine-esque corner in my room covered in 1d posters and stuff. I still have my louis poster up (signed may i add 😜 personlised too)

And yeah i didnt know many people who were louis girlies but that just made me feel superior. Although in general, at my school there werent a lot of people who were into them (my two friends both likes niall the mlst tho, which is so valid)

Have you seen the tiktok of the girl that carried around a cardboard cutout of Niall to school? And it became like a recurring joke in their senior yearbook. Iconic.

Also funfact, like many i remember the Day very well. High school, we were coming home from a school trip and we were sitting in a bus. It was the guy in my class that was actually called Zain(!!!) That broke the news to us (unrelated, i had a crush on the guy but only briefly) and no one believed him obv until we checked twitter and then the bus errupted into hysterics 😭😭😭

#im a firm believer that one day we'll get a reunion #this morning i was thinking how iconic a superbowl performance would be of 1d #maybe theyd advertise it like 1 of them (harry) was headlining and then they all show up #its nice to dream #uglypastels answers #anon

YES

i actually just had you interested but that is all i need! this is the introduction of my vamp au which is the loml, enjoy and PLEASE talk to me about it! blurbs, concepts or just talk talk. hehehe.

Harry is coming back to London and doesn't know what to expect. Well, the city is still the same, he is sure — except a few local businesses that come and go with the seasons — but, this time, while he was running around the world doing God knows what, things took a unpleasant turn....at least for him, his friends wouldn't agree.

They made a new friend and Harry is not happy about it.

The curly boy wasn't that jealous….. it´s just because they were such a tigh-knit group for so long that knowing someone got in while he was away made Harry want to punch a wall – this whole situation left him a bit more fussy than the vampire would like to admit. Especially when that someone was a fucking newborn. A fucking newborn vampire stole his place and Mitch´s, Sarah´s and Niall´s unbeating heart.

Harry sounds like a prick even though he didn´t intend to. This is a new territory for him and he wasn´t that prone to changes. And the fact that it´s a newborn just makes it harder to understand it all. Newborns gonna be newborns. Harry is okay with that, he just doesn't remember how to interact with them. He just doesn't have the patience to deal with them anymore, they are too reckless to be around.

Even though he hates the ideia, Harry didn´t say a word to Mitch and Sarah when they first broke the news. How could he? Harry could be a lot of things but he wasn´t a hyprocrite. His old friends know what they are doing, after all, they done the same to the green eyed boy, welcoming with open arms when he was too scared to understand what was happening.

It was one week after his 26th birthday when he got dragged to a corner and had his life sucked off his body quite literally. He doesn't remember the details of how it happened, it was 1974, Harry had too many drugs in his system to describe the face of his assailant. The next thing Harry knows is that he woke up sweating buckets with his throat on fire in the back of Mitch´s 1973 Chevy Van Camper with his head in Sarah´s lap.

“Don´t speak or your throat is going to burn even more.” Sarah shifts, grabbing a bottle of wine and handing it to Harry before he can reject it. He thinks he was dizzy enough, on the brink of an alcoholic coma. “Drink it, just know we are getting you somewhere safe. You can trust us. Now, drink.”

Her assertive tone makes Harry swallow a copius amount. When he tastes the first dropllet, he knows it isn´t wine. Whatever this was, it had a much richer flavour to it, thicker too. It wasn´t wine but it was even sweeter. His foggy mind couldn´t decided if he should trust this nice lady or maybe just try to escape through the back door. After drinking a bit more Harry knows that he wouldn´t get too far on his own feet and would trust her if she kept feeding him whatever this was.

He feels guilty for a moment. His mum raised him better than that, Anne would pull his ear if she was still here. Harry just had so much to lose if things went haywire. He hates sounding like the 70 year old man he actually is, but he longs for when things were easier. When his mum was still around and his only concern was to sneak back into the house after the curfew. He misses her a lot.

And that´s the actual reason for his visit to London: to reminisce his mother from the best living sort Harry still had, his bigger sister Gemma.

Mitch, Sarah and Niall are Harry´s best mates but the true reason of his travel back home was to see his big sister, seeing his friends was a plus. She was the reason that he didn´t gave up, watching Gemma built her family with Michael was Harry´s only source of true happiness. Visiting her was getting harder, she was getting more old and there is no denying that her death is becoming more unavoidable. His heart breaks into a million pieces everytime he looks into her eyes, a bit more droopy from her age, that still had the same sparkle he remembers from decades ago. With each passing day Gemma looked more like Anne, which for her was a big compliment but for Harry it was just a reminder of something he can´t get — getting old with his lover, seeing their kids grow and discover the world, a peaceful ending after a lifetime of accomplishments.

Harry was doomed to walk this earth alone.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

After many failed attempts, Y/N did it. She perfected the recipe for her special Blueberry smoothie to the T — every other time she tried it, it would be too runny or filled with unwanted chunks of fruit that completely ruined the texture..

The blender did put up quite the fight but the real problem was Y/N´s nonexistent culinary skills. If someone told her one year ago that she would soon be keen on learning how to cook, Y/N would have laughed in their face. It wasn't like she had another choice though, the chinese takeout didn´t taste the same now. Y/N could still eat human food, it just wasn't as filling or tasty as before, everything would always miss the little kick that made all her worries wash away.

She's getting the hang of it and she's proud of herself – the cooking sites never included which type and how much blood needed to be added. Outrageous. Of course she could have called Niall and he would happily bring her some leftovers from his fridge but Y/N wants to do things on her own too.

However, it was safe to say that dying on that terrible trip was the best thing that happened in Y/N´s existence.

That statement was quite embarrassing to say out loud and it wasn't like she could say that to every stranger she came across, but it was the truth. Being dead has been an overall good experience for Y/N minus a few bumps – such as the disappointment she felt when she finally gained conscious that she couldn't just drink out of someone's neck just because their smell was spectacular. Her life before wasn't terrible, maybe just ordinary: she had a small group of friends, went out on Fridays to get drinks, pulled an all-nighter or two to finish her college essays. Even though a small piece of her misses Zuri and the gang, Y/N would never want her life back especially now that she found a new group of friends to hang out with.

Mitch, Niall and Sarah acted like mentors and new friends at the same time and for that, Y/N would be forever grateful to them. Without the trio, she would have never known how to properly bite into someone without killing them or making a huge mess nor would know that if the wound was small enough and she lick it afterwards, the healing process would be quicker. She would have survived if she never met them — for a newborn who had any help, Y/N was doing rather well alone — but the process of adapting and getting the hang of it would have taken longer.

Y/N was glad she was borned when the internet and television shows already existed because one would be in despair if they found themselves craving for human blood one summer night after waking up in at the back of a dingy bar in a foreign country if they were born years and years before that. But Y/N? She had the bests sources of information about vampirism at her fingertips.

Twilight, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, The Vampire Diaries are just a few memorable mentions but any other supernatural show ever produced in the late 90´s and early 2000´s that at some point had some character turned into a vampire helped Y/N in some type of way.

Living it was far more difficult than those cliché shows made it seems, more gruesome and messy but Y/N at least had a concept of what she could expect or a few concepts that were confirmed to go badly. She knew screaming at the television when characters were doing something incredibly dumb wasn´t a waste of time.

Sure, she didn´t burn in the sun – Y/N would have dreaded if that happened, the feeling of the Spring sun touching her skin after a busy day at the beach couldn't be replaced even if she was a bit more sensitive about it now – and garlic still tasted good. Strangely, Y/N could still take some valid points from them, especially the ´let's rob a hospital blood bank and not go around killing people!` idea she tried after a couple of weeks of being a vampire.

As expected, it didn't go too well, she got overwhelmed when she saw all those bags filled with different blood types – glady, she compelled the night nurses to take a nap so she had some time to indulge herself. What she didn't expect though, was someone breaking in that tiny cubicle she was in.

“You need to be more careful.” Y/N freezes and turns around to face Sarah, her mouth instantly disconnected itself from the plastic. Y/N was far too engaged sucking the last few drops of B+ from the plastic bag to noticed the door opening. Saying the iconic ´it isn´t what it seems´ did rapidly pass through newborn´s mind but it was definitely what it seemed. The older woman looked around, staying quiet for a moment before seeing Y/N´s huge Victoria´s Secret polka-dotted bag tossed in the corner of the freezer. “ Great choice to stay inconspicuous.”

Needless to say that Y/N might actually need more help than any tv show could provide.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

“ You sure she will like it?” Mitch asks nervously, scratching the back of his head. “It´s a great idea, Y/N but it is like the 50th present I get for her.”

“And if she doesn't like it, you have a thousand more years to make it up for her.” Y/N thinks for a moment, staring to Mitch´s face. “That sounded a lot nicer inside my head.”

It was terribly cute how worried Mitch was about getting Sarah a present. Y/N never saw someone genuinely worried about the receiver not liking the present. And it wasn't like it was for some big anniversary or something, Mitch wanted to give his girlfriend a gift because, in his own words, ´good surprises are always needed when you are talking about forever being with someone´.

She got excited to help him and Mitch didn't say no when Y/N said she had a great idea. He desperately needed new ones since his had been wasted throughout the decades. However, Mitch didn't imagine truly thinking about gifting his girlfriend a pair of UGGS Scuffette Slippers.

“That´s why they are called UGGS? Because they are ugly?”

“That would be a terrible advertisement, Mitch. They are very comfortable. And....” Y/N stretches her hand to get a bigger pair of the purple slippers. “ You two can match.” She says with a big smile on her face.

Mitch loved having matching clothing with Sarah and Y/N knew it so the second that card was thrown at the table, the older vampire was a goner.

Y/N wasn't feeling the best right now even though she was thrilled to see how pleasant Mitch was with the present, skipping lunch wasn´t the best idea when all she had to drink was the stupid smoothie that didnt even have 10 ml of AB+. She shouldn't have left the house without feeding properly. It´s not urgent, Y/N had learned how to control her impulses very well but it wasn't very comfortable especially when they were waiting inside a busy store to pay for the slippers.

“Strange.” Mitch mumbles under his breath, eyebrows furrowed looking down at his phone and typing something. Y/N must have had dissociated for a bit because now one happy customer is going away and they are one step closer to the cashier. Thank Godness.

“What is it?” Y/N is noisy by nature but listening to whatever her friend had to say was a good distraction too. Even if there was one less person in the line, the guy directly in front of them had a big purchase.

“Harry is back in town, just texted.Remember Harry?” Her brain doesn´t associate any particular face with that name but it could be that she was just hungry and the only thing in her mind was the big snack she was going to get when she got home. Maybe she could get the cashier´s number and they could be her snack. “Remember is not quite right, you don´t know know him.”

“Oh, yes, yes. Your friend, hmmh.” Words, Y/N, words.

“Maybe he is just checking on his sister, seeing how things are with her… but it´s not his usual timing...maybe is something else but that´s not good news.” Now, that is quite the distraction, Y/N is always intrigued by the mention of someone´s family. Even for humans that is a sore topic but for vampires it was much more complicated. Everybody else in the group had told her, in very different conversations and ocasiations, that their direct family had died and only had more distant relatives they never met alive by now so she´s not sure if its good or bad that Harry´s sister was alive.

Y/N wants to speak up, ask Mitch few more facts about Harry but the pretty cashier calls for the next client which happens to be them.. She even double checks, eyeing the employee who was staring her back.

“Let´s just hope for the better and we have to take you home. I can hear your stomach growling.”
