Harry's unrequited crush on Louis turns into a whirlwind summer romance, only to leave him heartbroken in the end. Years later, a return to his hometown forces Harry to confront his past and the one person he was running from.

[COMPLETE | AU] With some demons haunting him from his past, Harry is excited to start college to get a relaxed escape from his home life, but stress is only added on him when his middle school bully, Louis, attends the same school he does. (Keep in mind that this was my first story so its not the best. In fact, I don't like it, but I don't have it in my heart to delete it.)

Harry needed a place to live and was getting desperate. That was when he found an ad online with an odd solution. A guy named Louis was renting out his place to someone with a 9-17 job. He worked nights. So they would share the flat (and bed) but not at the same time. That could actually work! So Harry moved in without even meeting the guy. They started leaving notes to each other and Harry was intrigued by the stranger he was living with. Would they ever meet in person? I read a book once (real one, not fanfiction) with this theme and I totally stole the idea. Sorry. Purely fictional. Some smut warning.

**THIS WORK IS UNEDITED. FOR AN UPDATED AND EDITED VERSION PLEASE HEAD TO MY AO3 PAGE LINKED IN MY BIO** Louis didn't believe in love at first sight until he met his neighbour Harry, the gorgeous man in the apartment next door who saved lives and had a smile that made his knees weak. Louis was determined that today was the day he would finally grow some balls and ask Harry on a date. Until his plans were disrupted by an unexpected delivery. One that would surely ruin his chances at any kind of love life. Or, maybe it would be just what Louis needed to bring he and Harry closer together.
