Summary: We'll play hide and seek to turn this around (give me love like never before)... "So here's the thing," he starts. "I didn't mean what I said a few weeks ago to like, hurt your feelings or anything. If you like painting your nails, then you should do that, and not like, care if anyone else doesn't like it because their opinions shouldn't matter, you know?" Louis takes a breath, finally glancing over to see the boy wide-eyed and pink-cheeked. On a whim, he adds, "And like, I noticed you scraping it off and you haven't been wearing any and I think you should because that's what you like." or an au where harry paints his nails and drinks strawberry milk and is too nervous for it to be nothing and louis' just trying to figure out whats wrong with him.

His eyes were a weird shade of green. A shade that reminded you of a forest. a forest washed up in rain, glistening in the golden sun. Bright yet soft at the same time. And Louis wanted to get lost in them. Wanted to take it all out and splatter it on a canvas. Wanted to know every stroke of the man that stood in front of him. Too bad he was shit at forming words. or where, Louis Tomlinson liked to paint and suddenly, all he could ever paint was Harry Styles.

Louis knows about beauty; the combination of qualities that pleases the aesthetic senses. He creates that combination every day in the garments he designs while studying fashion at uni. The cut of the design, the color of the fabric, the intricacy of the stitching; it all comes together to create something beautiful. When the science student with the long legs and dimpled smile agrees to model for him, Louis decides he's found beauty personified. Harry just thinks Louis needs someone to show him how beautiful he is. (please keep in mind that this has not been edited as I am just posting it over here for the people who asked for it)

"You're going down, Styles."

Leave me once - may be forgiven. Break me twice - you may regret it. Make me love you again - shame on you.

A few times- or at least once in your life, you'll find yourself in a situation where a certain someone catches your eye- yet, you never seem to catch theirs. Your adoration grows in silence, invisible to that significant individual. As cliché as it sounds, Louis Tomlinson has been in this frustrating position for three years, and now he's 3 months away from kissing high school goodbye. Though high school is almost coming to an end, his feelings for a certain guy hasn't gone away since freshmen year. Other than the occasional "Hi", the two never really crossed paths often. But as fate would have it, one day right out of the blue, Louis is given an opportunity that could finally lead him in the right direction for the shot at love he has wanted for so long. *NOTE: This was created in 2012-2013 so be prepared for very cringey references, old puns, etc. Hope you still enjoy this story otherwise!

Nineteen year old Harry Styles meets his sister's new boyfriend, Louis Tomlinson, fo the first time. Louis makes a good impression on him -- maybe too good of an impression that leads Harry to develop some sort of feelings for him. Harry struggles between knowing it's wrong to be into his sister's significant other, and knowing what he feels for Louis is something he can't ignore. It's not like he wanted this to happen... and besides you can never control the way you feel: it's purely accidental. [Written in 2014/2015, edited some parts in 2020]

I went to Brazil wishing to hook up with as many straight men as I could find but a gay tourist with a nice butt was all I got.

Everything changed when Harry had to transfer to North Bridge in his last year of school, suddenly being away from his boyfriend and his friends.
