When Harry needs Louis with him in LA, a publicity stunt gone wrong changes their friendship forever. A fake-relationship AU between two lifelong best friends.

"Come on Harry, it's just a kiss, nothing more. You just put your lips on mine and voila! We kissed. Is it that bad?"

Breaking News! Louis Tomlinson finally reveals the heart-breaking truth behind "Larry Stylinson" in an interview with US Weekly! Harry Styles, a pop-star and former member of One Direction, casually walked out of his apartment in the West Village of New York City. Harry and the paparazzi have a mutual agreement that if they stay out of his business, he'll let them take pictures without a hassle. When he walked out today, the paparazzi have seemed to throw their agreement out of the window as they bombarded him with questions that completely caught him off guard.

Hi, this is not my story. I just really enjoy reading it and decided to repost it, so I give complete credit to the author Velvetoscar on archive of our own. Thanks for reading! ** Louis, to his horror, attends an elitist university in which the name Zayn Malik means something, Niall Horan doesn't stop talking, there are pianos everywhere, and Harry Styles, only son of a drug-addled, clinically insane ex-rocker, has a perfect smile and empty eyes.

Summary: We'll play hide and seek to turn this around (give me love like never before)... "So here's the thing," he starts. "I didn't mean what I said a few weeks ago to like, hurt your feelings or anything. If you like painting your nails, then you should do that, and not like, care if anyone else doesn't like it because their opinions shouldn't matter, you know?" Louis takes a breath, finally glancing over to see the boy wide-eyed and pink-cheeked. On a whim, he adds, "And like, I noticed you scraping it off and you haven't been wearing any and I think you should because that's what you like." or an au where harry paints his nails and drinks strawberry milk and is too nervous for it to be nothing and louis' just trying to figure out whats wrong with him.
