"Oops," Louis spoke softly, accidentally brushing his hand against Harry's in the bathroom of the X-Factor Stadium. Harry looked at their hands, then up to Louis. "Hi," Harry smirked up at him.

Those were the two words that started it all.

First it was innocent giggles and jokes, which turned into harmless flirting. But when they got put in a group together, at their most vulnerable point in their lives, they feel different. Almost like it was meant to be. But their management refused to let them see each other. It was forbidden love, resembling Romeo and Juliet; which made it even harder to resist.

For two long weeks, the boys have to put their feelings aside, to focus on promoting their first three singles. They decide throwing a party would be a good start, but Louis thinks it would also be a good chance to show the world that they aren't a couple. Harry takes it personally. Later that night, after numerous drinks, they get in an awkward and uncomfortable game of Spin the Bottle. After what they wished to be a meaningless kiss for a game turned into something real, they had to face the facts. They liked each other- if not love. Finally, they think about becoming a couple. What they could truly do and feel like. Free. Who truly gave a damn about management? But when their job gets on the line, they only wish they were.
