Maybe Louis wasn't going crazy. Maybe Harry really did feel the same and he just didn't believe that someone like Harry could love someone like him.
"I can't quite explain what I feel for him," said Louis, his words slurring. He had stumbled into Liam's hotel room and in his drunken state, Louis was whispering out everything he felt for the youngest member of One Direction.
"I think it's called love, mate."
A rose had always been a symbol of love for Louis. From a young age, he had shown his affections for people through flowers and of course, he had associated romantic love with roses. He thought Eleanor was his rose and maybe for a while she was, but it seemed that Harry was rapidly becoming a rose by another name.

I'll be coming Back For You - L.S
Louis and Harry grew up together in a quiet rural town just outside of London. From the very beginning, Louis felt an unexplainable pull toward Harry-something he didn't fully understand until years later, when he realized it had always been a crush. Harry, charming but a little air-headed, never seemed to notice the lingering glances or the subtle, affectionate touches Louis gave without thinking. Then, just days before their high school graduation, while hanging out like they always did, Louis-tired of hiding, aching with the weight of unspoken feelings-finally confessed his love. It backfired completely. Harry didn't feel the same. Worse, he admitted he wouldn't be attending the same university as they'd always planned- he was moving away. No warning. No real goodbye. Crushed and bitter, Louis spent his first year of college drifting-isolated, numb, unable to move past the heartbreak of losing his best friend and first love all at once. So, how do you recover from someone who was your everything? It's not until senior year that he sees him again: a painfully familiar face in a place he never expected. After all this time, after all that hurt... how is Louis supposed to react? Can his now fragile, stitched-up heart take it?Complete

Brushed With Fame (major editing to come)
It all started at a meet and greet, When Emily gives Liam her phone to take a picture of the two of them. When he has it in his hands, he takes the opportunity to put his number in her phone. What happens when he wants to get to know what's under her shyness? What happens when Emily is Brushed With Fame? Preview: "You want to know my favorite quote of all time?" She asked looking from the sky to me. Propping my arm up and turn to her, I nodded. She looked back up at the sky and closed her eyes. "'We except the love we think we deserve.' The reason I like it so much is because it describes why everyone falls in love with someone that doesn't deserve to have their love. I guess it's just a human nature thing." She said with a shrug. I smiled at her. "What are you afraid of the most?" I asked her. She opened her eyes and looked at me. "I guess I would be most afraid of rejection. I have always been rejected when it comes to guys and I never knew why. I eventually stopped trying and just started to focus more on my college degree. If a guy comes to me then I will let what happens happen." She said confidently. *Warning*- there are acts of weirdness, random cheesiness, and lot's of random thingsComplete

But what he does know, is that his love for Louis is something he can never lose, he knows that the day Louis decides he doesn't want him anymore, there will be no reasons left to live.

Let's Play Pretend [Niall Horan AU]
The world finds odd ways to put people together. For them, it was PR. ~ She walked along the shore, the humid air, feeling much colder next to the beach. She shut her eyes and stood there, letting the sound of crashing waves overtake every single thought in her minds, ironically, silencing the bustling thoughts. She felt peaceful. He noticed a girl walking just a few feet ahead of him. At first, his thought was that it could be her but it didn't seem that way. The closer he went the more different the person looked. He let out a sigh of lost conviction. He felt hopeless. His footing must've been horrible as he slipped over a rock and tumbled forward, a little gasp of shock leaving his lips. The unexpected rustling behind her, made her face the intrusion. Noticing the man on his knees, she went over to him, lending a helping hand. He noticed a very familiar ring covered hand stick out towards him. He didn't think much of it as he held it to stand up. Why did it feel like home? ~Complete
