*THIS IS A SLOWBURN LARRY STYLINSON FIC*

At a prestigious university where ambition and intellect thrive, two very different young men cross paths in ways that will change them both forever.

Louis is guarded, cynical, and weighed down by the emotional scars of a turbulent upbringing. He doesn't believe in love and keeps everyone at arm's length, battling silently with depression, self-harm, and debilitating panic attacks. On the outside, he's sharp-tongued and distant; on the inside, he's barely holding himself together.

Harry, on the other hand, is known for his intelligence, warmth, and determination. He seems to have it all figured out-an academic prodigy with a heart as kind as his mind is brilliant. But beneath his calm and collected surface, Harry is quietly struggling with his own unresolved traumas-issues he hasn't even begun to confront.

When their worlds collide on campus, what begins as a slow-burning connection becomes something deeper. As they challenge and comfort each other, both Louis and Harry are forced to reckon with their pasts, their pain, and what it means to truly let someone in. Their relationship becomes a journey of healing, growth, and ultimately discovering that love-no matter how unlikely or difficult-might just be worth believing in after all.
