He didn't love him because of the fame -
but despite everything that came with it.

Harry Styles - 17 years old, at the height of his career.
He's the face of the pop world: desired, celebrated, admired - and utterly trapped.
Because his contract is crystal clear:
No scandals.
No real relationships.
And absolutely no love for another boy.

Louis Tomlinson, 18, isn't one of those fans.
No posters on his wall, no tickets for the next concert.
But when he meets Harry - not the star, but Edward, the boy with quiet eyes and slumped shoulders -
he falls in love.
Slowly. Secretly. Genuinely.

What begins as a quiet romance between two classmates quickly turns into a test of everything they are:
How do you live a love no one is allowed to see?
How do you kiss someone when the world is always watching?
How do you stay honest in a life built on image and lies?

As Harry stumbles through world tours, interviews, and carefully scripted illusions,
Louis must learn what it means to hold the heart of a superstar -
without losing his own.

This is the story of two boys
who refuse to lose each other
in a world of spotlights, expectations, and silence.

And maybe - just maybe -
one day they won't have to hide anymore.All Rights Reserved

Pizza, pasta and past lovers by LouisSavedMe_x

"You don't have the right anymore to look at him like that, Harry." Liam shakes his head as he watches the curly boy glaring at his ex-boyfriend and his new lover. "You broke up with him, he has been begging you all summer to not leave him and now that he finally moved on you are going to act all territorial? It's not fair to Lou, Harry." "You don't have the right to tell me what to do." Harry snaps even though he knows that his friend is right. He broke up with Louis. He was the stupid one in the situation and now he has to witness how a boy that loved him once with all his heart, is now giving his love to someone else. 5 boys met each other in music class, a subject for which they share a passion. They started to have this class in the very beginning of high school, the boys being 12-13 years old. They were drawn to each other like magnets, and for sure Harry and Louis who started dating the second they know the meaning of that word. And they have been dating ever since until last June, when Louis graduated High school and had to go to university in London while Harry still had another year to go. Harry broke up and after a summer full of desperate voicemails, texts and phone calls, the curly lad doesn't hear anything anymore from his ex-lover. That is until Zayn gathers the boys during next summer for a road trip around Italy. All five of them had been apart all year. Everybody is excited about the road trip, until Harry sees that Louis brought an extra person with him: His new boyfriend.

Keep It Casual by itstilliswhatitis

I took the essence of a suggestion given to me by @ParkImBin. Their idea was something else but I kept the parts that stood out to me. Harry wants to travel and see the world. Louis just wanna be a doctor and stay local. That makes it complicated.

The Faded Vows by lynk992925

He was waiting outside the OP, there for his student who had been injured during a fight over a phone. As he sat, casually glancing at his own phone, he suddenly heard the faint sound of a baby crying. Curious, he turned toward the sound-and froze. There, outside the pediatric care unit, sat his wife with their son crying in her arms. His heart ached-it had been months since he last saw his son. His gaze shifted to his wife, gently consoling the child. Her face looked tired, pale, and completely drained. Without a second thought, he stood, tears welling in his eyes. Each step he took felt heavy, his chest tightening with every cry from his son. As he neared, he saw her clothes were faded and worn. Her feet were bare, hardened from walking-clearly straight from the farm. His heart clenched. His eyes moved to his son-he had grown so much. She was so focused on calming the baby that she didn't notice him at first. Tears filled her eyes as she held their feverish child close. He softly called her name. Startled, she looked up-and froze. Then she quickly lowered her gaze and tried to get up. He gently placed a hand on her shoulder, stopping her. She sat back down, turning her face away, quietly wiping her tears. He reached out to take their son. The moment he held him, he felt the heat-his little body was burning with fever. A chill ran through him. After all these months, seeing his child like this was unbearable. He loved his wife and son deeply, but his loyalty to his mother-and obedience to her word-always came first. Between a mother who owned his soul and a wife who held his heart, he was a man torn in a cruel war of love and loyalty. And she-she had given her all to a promise whispered beneath the sacred fire... never knowing that one day, she'd be holding her child, with nothing but a faded vow.
