When Tenley found out that the bloke she's (secretly) madly in love with was searching for a new flatmate, she couldn't exactly pass up the opportunity to live together with him.
Even if it meant that she had to adjust to his lifestyle - because much to her dismay, Louis Tomlinson loved to throw parties - and even if it meant that she had to live next door to the bloke she very much disliked.
Harry bloody Styles.
Everything would've worked out if he didn't come over everyday, or maybe not.
a story about coffee and the person who makes and drinks it, unnecessary loud parties and friends, and most importantly, a story of how Tenley gets the boy.

You Can Hear It In The Silence
When Harry Styles was accepted into a post-grad degree, he knew he could no longer afford his flat, leaving him with three options: 1) Move back into student halls. 2) Become homeless. 3) Move in with his best (and only) friend, Niall, and three of Niall's other mates. He went with the third option. But it was a close race. Shame one of his roommates reminded him why he only has one friend. If there is one thing Louis Tomlinson can't stand, it's pretentious tossers, having grown up around enough of them. If there is one thing he can't live without, it would be his friends. So he was proper thrilled to move in with his best mates and a couple of other lads. That was until he discovered one of them was the archetype for a pretentious tosser. In the interest of seeing out the twelve-month lease without killing each other, they both try (debatable) to get along despite believing they are opposite in almost every conceivable way, each having the communication skills of a cucumber, and secrets that have no business be kept secret.Complete

The Things We Lost {L.S}
Harry Styles is a quiet literature student who keeps to himself, writing poems he never shares and carrying the weight of a past he never talks about. Louis Tomlinson is the boy next door-literally. They grew up as childhood best friends, inseparable through every milestone, heartbreak, and dream. But one night, five years ago, something happened. A fight. A kiss. A goodbye. Louis left without a word, cutting ties with everyone-including Harry. Now, years later, Louis returns to London after his mother passes away, forced to face the people and places he abandoned. He doesn't expect Harry to still be there. He doesn't expect Harry to look so different-older, colder, a little more broken. And he certainly doesn't expect the feelings to come rushing back, sharper than ever. Harry is angry. He deserved closure. He deserved something. But even through the pain, the love he buried refuses to stay dead. As they slowly reconnect, trying to make peace with their past, they both realize the tragedy isn't that they fell apart-it's that they never got to fall fully in love. And maybe they still won't. Because timing is cruel, and sometimes love isn't enough to fix what's already gone.

Second Chance
So I decided to try something different. I write a story but you as a reader decide what is happening next. Write a suggestion in the comments and I'll continue the story. I'm gonna try and get as many as I can but I can't promise all of your suggestions will make it. I'll have to be able to write it as well or maybe I already wrote the next part when you leave your suggestion. No hard feelings I hope. This is supposed to be fun. I will of course give you credit if I use your idea. Harry and Louis were a couple during One Direction but broke it off on bad terms. They haven't seen each other in years when they suddenly run into each other at a café... Let's start! Purely fictional. No idea if it will contain smut. Probably if I know my readers. 😘Complete
