Marriage.

If Harry had to pick one word to describe marriage, it'd be bullshit.

Marriage is just complete and total bullshit.

             The idea and belief that two people can meet and spend the rest of their lives together happily is ridiculous. People change as they grow older. Marrying the girl you met when you were fifteen and barely knew anything about the world and expecting to still be able to co-exist with that girl forty years later is absolute bullshit.

             Harry doesn't even think you could ever love someone for more than a year. How are you supposed to love someone when they snore every night and make it impossible for you to sleep? Or how are you supposed to love someone when they pee on the toilet sleep? What about when they have 3 dogs and you're allergic?

             Everyone will have something that makes them not worth loving. Harry didn't understand how people can know all these disgusting, annoying, pointless little habits of quirks and people and still love them. That's why divorce is so high.

            His parents got divorced when he was young. They had two children together, and even creating two lives and two human beings isn't enough to bind people together for a lifetime. People can have ten children together and still decide that after all the times they've fucked, that it just isn't worth staying together.

            There are couples in the media who you thought were perfect together and they broke up. They have perfect lives. They are rich, which means they didn't divorce over money issues. They're attractive, so it isn't that the lust is gone. They're famous which means they can't get bored of each other. They just fall out of love, as if they were ever in it it the first place.

            Love sometimes seems so fake and idealized. Everything that the media tries to tell you is fake. Kissing in the rain is absolutely disgusting. Makeup drips from the girls face, both of you are cold and shivering and probably tired, and you get ran over if you do it in the middle of a road at night.

             Also, why do people think it's cool to kiss upside down? Do they not know that people evolved and their lips are made the way they are to combine with anothers? When you turn one of the people upside down, it literally is un-doing years of evolution and it just feels weird.

              But that's off topic. Love can't possibly exist. How can people look at another person and think "Wow, they are so perfect. I want them to be in my life forever." Marriage is like slavery. You force someone to sign a contract and then expect them to do your laundry or pay for your food.

            It's a pretty sick societal ritual if you think about it. The spending thousands and millions of pounds on a wedding day that you won't even remember the colour of the napkins you spent four weeks picking out, and then shoving the 10,000 pound dress into the back of the closet to never wear again-until your next wedding of course.

             Harry had vowed from a young age that he would never fall in love, and he'd especially never agree to marry anyone. He would never want to be tied down and stuck with another person for the rest of his life. It would inevitably end in pain, and love was something he strayed far away from.

             Until he met Louis. He really didn't mean to fall in love with the quirky boy who barely remembers his name. He comes into the store where Harry works every day, picking up menial things like guitar picks and new strings. He'll make polite conversation, but there is just something more that Harry can't explain.
