High On You || A Harry Styles Fanfiction

They say the best love stories begin with friendship. Riley Hayes never expected hers to start with a knock on the door every evening after work.

Every night, Harry Styles shows up at Riley's apartment with music, laughter, and a joint to share on the balcony. It's become their routine-a quiet escape from the chaos of Harry's life in the spotlight and the ordinary world Riley calls home.

To everyone else, Harry Styles is a global superstar.

To Riley, he's the boy who steals her fries, remembers her coffee order, calls her at two in the morning when he can't sleep, and somehow always knows when she's hurting before she says a word.

They've been best friends for years, and neither of them has ever questioned it.

Until lingering glances last a little too long.

Until late-night conversations become impossible to forget.

Until the lines between friendship and something more begin to blur.

As feelings they never expected grow stronger, Riley and Harry must decide whether risking the most important friendship of their lives is worth the chance at something even greater.

Because sometimes the person who's always been by your side turns out to be the one you've been searching for all along.

A cozy, slow-burn friends-to-lovers romance filled with late-night smoke sessions, music, laughter, and the kind of love that sneaks up on you when you least expect it.
