When Your Eyes Met Mine xx

Harry was your typical sixteen-year-old guy - or at least, that's what everyone thought. He spent his afternoons kicking a football around with his mates, blasting rock music through his headphones, pretending that life was simple. But beneath the easy smiles and casual shrugs, Harry carried a secret he wasn't ready to share with anyone: he was gay.

And then there was him - the boy who unknowingly made Harry's heart race every time he walked by. Harry didn't even know how it started, this quiet, stubborn crush that refused to go away. They'd never spoken, never exchanged a single word. Yet something about the way that boy smiled, the light in his eyes, the way his laugh filled a hallway - it all made Harry's chest tighten in the best and worst way.

That boy's name was Louis Tomlinson.

Louis was eighteen - confident, kind, and full of a spark that drew people in without him even trying. He loved animals, doted on his younger siblings, and had this way of making people feel seen. On the surface, he was the kind of guy everyone wanted to know: funny, charming, endlessly alive. But behind that easy grin and quick wit, Louis carried scars that didn't always show.

His past wasn't something he liked to talk about. His father had been a cruel man, and when Louis had finally gathered the courage to come out, the truth hadn't been met with love - only pain. He learned to build walls, to hide behind humor and mischief, because it was easier than letting anyone see how much he still hurt. Only his best friend, Zayn, knew the whole story.

And then, one day, fate decided that Harry and Louis's worlds would finally collide.

What happens when two people, each hiding behind their own masks, find something real in each other? Is it a fairytale waiting to unfold, or a fragile dream destined to break?

Only time - and a little bit of courage - will tell.
