Harry & Louis live in the same city but they don't know each other yet. They meet when they are thrown together to car pool to Brighton and they argue the whole time. A few years later they run into each other and both are just ending relationships. Matt, Harry's boyfriend, breaks up with Harry eventually which upsets him a lot. Louis wants to help the boy so he suggests to go on double dates with other people, but the dates don't work out. One day Harry is very upset over his ex-boyfriend getting married and Louis ends in bed with Harry. Harry has realized he's in love with Louis and tells him but Louis freaks out and acts like it means nothing. Harry is hurt and they lose contact. After weeks, Louis randomly meets Harry in the streets of London and tries to maintain their friendship but Harry refuses. Louis pretends that he doesn't care although he slowly realizes how much Harry means to him. Harry is 20, Louis 22 ♥ I wrote this for Larryhasmyheart on ao3. We met each other on tumblr because we participated in two seperate fic exchanges but didn't get a fic back. I was very sad about this and she felt the same so we decided to write fics to each other as a gift. This story can be found on ao3 too. Don't translate or publish my work without my permission.
