Louis Tomlinson was a professor in London. Didn't have much of a passion for the job, but it was there and that was what mattered. He lived in a cozy little flat that was a 5 minute walk from the university. Had a pet for a plant since any animal, even a fish, would die within a day of his care. The plant was a small red moonlight cactus that would go days without water and yet, to Louis surprise, was still alive. At least he thought it was. He named the poor thing, Snuggles.

Relationships were nonexistent. Louis tried, he ready did, but none worked out. He sometimes let it get to him, but as soon as the thought came he shook it off and moved on. You see, Louis wanted to live life to the fullest. He loved living. He loved walking an extra three minutes everyday to get a cup of tea in the nearby Starbucks. He loved getting to his class early and seeing all his students. He loved inspiring people to be better, to do better. He loved his mum ringing him on the phone during his lunch break. Jay never missed one. He loved walking back home, but not before buying himself a book. Louis had a tradition that only he knew. He would go to the bookstore next to his flat and pick a random book, not even look at the cover or price, he would buy it and once he got home read it. More times than others he chooses quite the exciting one. What Louis loves the most however, it's getting home, eating a quick dinner, and then going to sleep to wake up and do it all over.

All Louis wanted was to live.
