How come falling in love with the person he hated most was so easy? Who the hell did this guy think he was? How could he stand there on the pavement, gorgeous and beautiful, and make Harry fall back into a swirl of desire, when fifteen minutes ago he made his skin prickle with hurt? God, he hated him. He wanted to bash his face into bits. The problem was that more than that, he wanted to kiss him. Between the two options, he would instantaneously choose the second. A mortal enemies with benefits story with a touch of football, lust, and family drama. The Unbelievers Story from Harry's point of view.

It's Louis' first year at Manchester United's football academy, and he's dead set on doing it right. With Harry by his side, the world is there for the taking. Playing for the Under-21's team, the path to becoming the next star of the Premier League is clear. He didn't expect to have to deal with a new coach, missing his friends, and a homophobic teammate making his life that much worse. Hiding his relationship with Harry seems like a good plan until it doesn't, and handling things in general doesn't seem to be his thing. Or: The one where Louis and Harry definitely love each other, and football still is everything. (Maybe it shouldn't be.)

It's Louis' senior year, and he's dead set on doing it right. 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. Or: The one where Louis and Harry definitely aren't friends, and football is everything.

Louis' tipsy brain decided that a four-week couples therapy retreat sounded like the perfect holiday idea. Minor issue: he didn't have a boyfriend. Enter Harry, add one unhinged therapist and too much sexual tension... and somehow, it actually works out.

"Oi, what happened to treat people with kindness?" Louis yells loud enough for Harry to hear from across the street. "That goes for everyone but you!" Harry calls back and while he can only see the back of him, he gives him his middle finger again. ⊷ ❤︎︎ ⊶ Louis is a successful paparazzi that the stars love. He brings out the beautiful in them and treats them kindly. But then he suddenly gets the job of photographing Harry Styles for the next few months.

For Louis Tomlinson, survival is a game of masks. During the week, he's the loving son and brave older brother. On the weekends, he's the victim of his father's cruel abuse-a secret he keeps buried to protect the only family he loves. When his father catches him in a moment of confusion with his best friend, the world turns dark. Louis learns early that being himself is a death sentence, and he begins to hate anyone brave enough to live their truth. Harry is everything Louis isn't: openly gay, seemingly free, and unapologetic. But behind Harry's public confidence lies a silent battle with depression that no one sees. When a moment of misplaced rage during high school tryouts leads to Louis breaking Harry's ankle, their lives shatter and drift apart. Years later, Manchester University offers a fresh start-until Louis walks into his dorm room. Sharing a room and a football pitch with the man he hurt years ago, Louis must confront the guilt he's carried and the secrets he's still hiding. Harry hasn't forgotten the boy who hurt him, and he isn't ready to forgive. But in the close quarters of a shared bedroom, the line between hate and something much more dangerous begins to blur. Can they heal the scars of the past, or will the weight of their secrets tear them both down? WARNINGS: Physical abuse Minor SA Depression Anxiety Self harm Homophobia Smut

**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.

Louis never thought his new grumpy neighbour would turn his world upside down. Harry Styles is an Alpha, a detective, and annoyingly hard to read... until he isn't. The closer they grow, the more Louis learns that love can be messy, healing can be slow and yet sometimes the pull between two souls is stronger than everything else.

Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson were born into two of the wealthiest families in London. Despite their privileged upbringing, they couldn't be more different. Louis was a hopeless romantic who believed in soulmates and destiny. Harry, on the other hand, was a realist who rejected the idea of fate and preferred to forge his own path in life. Their families had been feuding for generations, so it was no surprise that Harry detested Louis. But fate had other plans. Louis discovered that Harry was his soulmate when they both turned 18 and had Harry's name etched on his skin as proof of their destined connection.Harry, however, could care less about Louis allegedly being his soulmate and left the country at 18. Now, three years later, Harry has returned to London. Does Harry still despise Louis? Or will he finally give in to the undeniable pull between them? 🌙 "𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘸𝘦'𝘳𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦, 𝘏𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘺" 𝘓𝘰𝘶𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘱𝘰𝘬𝘦, 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨. "𝘍𝘶𝘤𝘬 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘧𝘶𝘤𝘬 𝘺𝘰𝘶, 𝘛𝘰𝘮𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘰𝘯."
