"Harry, the whole world is in front of you." The younger boy nodded, then let his forehead lean to Louis'. "Yeah, you're right," he whispered. "It is in front of me." ••• Before Harry started university, he created a pretty simple list in his mind: the list of things which could help him survive his first year. Focus on your art studies. Avoid parties. Try to stay out of every drama. At first the plan went quite smooth, but as soon as the first wave of relief sweeped over him, a footballer had to show up and not just cross everything on his list, but also rip it all to shreds and burn up his entire world. Ignoring him wasn't an option; the boy with the cheeky smile looked too familiar to forget. Harry knew one thing for sure: there wasn't a rule he wouldn't break to get the answers for the questions of the past. Even if that meant he had to face with a beautiful mess, called Louis Tomlinson. ••• • completed story • (And the chapters are long af) (It's starting to get quite good from chapter 5, okay) (Please give it a chance lol) (Thank you, love you) WARNING: the story contains swearing, detailed (!!) smut and mentions of homophobia and self-harm, BUT I can reassure you, ((kinda spoiler I guess)) the story will have a happy ending for sure! 2021: #1 toplinson, out of 108 stories #53 larryfluff, out of 718 stories 2022: #1 larrysmut, out of 1,12K stories (crying tf is this achievement, help) #1 toplinson (again, help this is supposed to be a cute story) 2024: #2 louistomlinson, out of 77,9K stories <3333

A full-on smirk returns to Harry's lips. "Now we're talking. Long story or short?" "Short." "I need you to pretend to be my boyfriend for preferably six months." Well, that was a short story indeed. - Louis hates hockey. If there is one thing this man loves more than his bartending job, it would be Harry Styles. That is how he finds himself in Sheffield during the IIHF World Championship season, not listening to his best friend, Zayn, who keeps telling him that Harry Styles, one of the most famous hockey players ever, is not the man for him. But what if the night Harry walks into Louis's beer-stained bar leads to more than just a one-night stand? - Contains themes some readers might find difficult. Such as: - alcohol consumption, - food-related struggles (binging, purging, starving oneself on purpose), - medical emergencies, - implied/referred sexual assault, - childhood trauma (remembered), - strong language, - smut...
