Stockholm Syndrome, when the hostage develops passionate feelings for their captor. However, Harry was the captor in this situation not the captive. But that didn't stop the curly-haired boy from falling for his forbidden hostage. He was given such one simple job, to kidnap and keep the richest man in Britain, Louis William Tomlinson, and he couldn't even do that without falling hopelessly in love with him. But the chance of Louis reciprocating those feelings are slim to none, because all he hopes for is a way to escape. Maybe, just maybe, somewhere along the way, Harry could make Louis feel the same. Maybe, Louis could fall for his captor.
