Sometimes, the stupid things matter the most, things like Louis' mum passing out drunk every night, things like his sisters crying themselves to sleep, they're meant to be a daily routine, it's meant to feel usual by now, but it doesn't.
Other stupid things matter to him too, like why his new lanky seating partner in English never talks, why fate keeps pulling them towards each other.
Turns out Louis isn't the only one with secrets.
{Or the fic where Louis and Harry keep on running into each other and Harry has more secrets than Louis has friends}
