"Want to go back inside?" Louis asks him.

No, Harry doesn't. He wants Louis to take his hand and pull him out of here. Maybe to his used, run-down car, where they would get inside and start driving to some unknown destination. Go nowhere and at the same time everywhere, with the windows rolled down and music drifting through the air, getting entangled in their wind-ruffled hair. 

And then they would kiss and it would feel like freedom and childhood and growing up and shared memories and everything that is sweet in the world.

Or Louis would stop the car, hold out his hand with a smile, and ask, "Hey, Hazza. Wanna dance with me?" 

In his imagination, Harry takes his hand, palm against palm, fingers slotting into place like puzzle pieces. The thought of dancing with Louis sends an ache through his chest.

But instead, he just gives Louis, his Lou, a small smile and says, "Yeah, sure.

 


Or the one in which Harry realises he is in love with his best friend which might just destroy (and possibly save) everything.

"When you said you loved me, for the first time. Was it real? " Louis's voice cracked towards the end of his question. What if he wasn't strong enough to hear Harry's answer. So much time into their marriage, what if all of it was just a scam? On getting no answer Louis shifted in Harry's lap, he scooted closer and tucked Harry's long silky hair behind his ear, nudging the man to answer the question," Just one last question Hazza. Please?" it was the only hope I have left. He finished the sentence in his head. "Promise me you won't leave me? " Louis was taken a back by the request and his heart started to tug painfully in his chest because even though his head knew Harry's answer, his heart refused to believe it. " I promise. " Louis said in a heartbeat, still hoping the answer wouldn't be what he thought it was. Harry would never do that to him. His husband would never betray him like that. Never. Not after all that happened between them. Harry took in a deep breath and said the word that broke Louis's heart all over again. "No." __ If Harry got Louis to fall in love with him after their arranged marriage , he would gain his childhood dream of owning the Styles enterprise. He thought the odds were in his favour and his inevitable charm wouldn't fail him. To get Louis to fall in love with him seemed to be easy until he realised Louis was not like any other person he had met. The man found himself falling for Louis in unexplainable ways. Harry wanted the power and Louis wanted love. Both power and love come at a heavy price. __ EDITED

NIALL: What in the world just happened? I choked at seeing this girl? And did a spit take when I actually got a good look at her? What the hell is wrong with me? LOUIS: I turn around because I'm sure that would have made Summer laugh. But she remains silent. Her hands are still doing something with my phone and the stereo. Her face is blank looking at Niall with her eyes slightly squinted. That's weird. Summer has laughed almost every time one of us does something funny. ZAYN: "But you're One Direction." I hear her mumble. She sighs. "And that matters because?" She doesn't need to be so insecure around us. She just needs to be herself. I know that's what Niall likes. She turns around, giving me a look and with her hands on her hips. "Do I need to explain it to you?" She says sassily. Then she giggles turning back around. HARRY: "Where do you want to go?" The way her American accent blends in with her awkwardness and sassiness is attractive. And it's also funny because Niall hasn't taken his eyes off her the whole time. Mission accepted. Niall and Summer. LIAM: I look at him with a smirk on my face. He furrows his eyebrows at me. "What?" "Summer will be here soon and with all of us busy with our interviews. I thought Niall could occupy her." Zayn squints his eyes at me and comes right up in my face. "What?" I back up laughing a bit. He backs off. "You're quite the mastermind." He gives me a nod of approval. SUMMER: Man, how are we living in a world where a normal teenage girl can't fangirl anytime and anywhere? This sucks. Please forgive the minor bad fanfic moments, such as where they meet, falling in love in a short period of time, and a couple of small character cliches.

Shared Apartment

14 parts Complete Mature

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.
