Harry and Louis grew up across the street from each other. Their moms have been best friends since childhood, so naturally their sons are, too. After catching Louis' mother and Harry's stepfather in a compromising position, the pair have a falling out, right before Louis is set to move across the country for college. Two years later, Harry's family suffers the tragic loss of his brother, and Harry is a wreck. Having not talked to Louis since their falling out, Harry learns that Louis is home from school, and that he and his mother came over to offer their condolences. Realizing that he desperately needs his best friend, Harry agrees to meet with Louis. Their reunion unfolds in the way the pair had wanted it to all along, and their relationship takes off with a new dynamic. Will it be able to withstand the turbulent waters that Harry's brother's suicide leaves its wake? 

Louis Tomlinson practically lives at Liam's house. Movie nights, video games, late-night talks - it has always been that way. The Payne- Styles' house feels like a second home. And Harry? Harry has always just been Liam's little brother. The quiet kid with messy curls who used to run through the hallway while Louis and Liam were busy being teenagers. At least... that's what Louis keeps telling himself. Because somewhere along the way, things started to change. Conversations last longer. Jokes turn into late-night talks. And Louis begins to notice the things he shouldn't notice. Like Harry's smile. His eyes. The way Louis suddenly feels nervous around someone he has known for years. There's just one problem. Harry isn't just anyone. He's his best friend's brother. And falling for him might ruin everything. But some feelings refuse to stay hidden... no matter how hard you try.

However, along with his pair of cleats, a healthy dose of sarcasm and his ridiculous best friend, he's also got a complicated family, a terrifyingly uncertain future, and a mortal enemy making his life just that much worse. Mortal enemies "with benefits" was not exactly the plan.
