This is NOT my story all credits go to heyidkyay on ao3 - Harry was assaulted on his fourteenth birthday after coming out, which ultimately resulted in the loss of his hearing. When no one was brought to justice for their wrong doings, his family made the decision to move away and escape their hometown. That's when Harry met Liam and Niall. The two overly friendly boys that slowly chipped away at his defences and brought down the high walls he'd worked so hard to build. Four years later, and Harry's eighteen. He's recovering. Still dealing with the life-altering consequences of the attack, but getting by. Sort of. His life's mostly back on track, he's got his two best friends and has even landed himself a job working at the local tattoo studio in town. But after having been homeschooled ever since the assault, it's decided that he should return to school for his final year. That's where he meets Louis. The school's football captain. Popular, sweet, charming and blissfully unaware of Harry's disability. But what if Louis is hiding some secrets of his own, too? - https://archiveofourown.org/works/24129448/chapters/58093780

Going into a new school Harry is determined to hide the fact that he was born blind as long as he can in fear of being judged. When he meets Louis, the schools football star, he's skeptical to tell him his secret, regardless of Harry's growing feelings for him Credits to 123AJE on quotev

16-year-old Harry has OCD, causing him to have repeated thoughts, feelings, ideas, sensations, obsessions, and behaviors. He thinks he's a freak. There's a new boy at school who disagrees. This boy could be the one to break down Harry's walls, and his name is Louis. **Warnings: Selfharm (PLEASE DO NOT READ IF YOU ARE TRIGGERED BY SELF HARM), OCD, language.**

"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
