Louis Tomlinson is fascinated by art. He thinks about it everyday, and admires its wonderfulness like nobody else. But when him and his family move to America, he faces doubts and expectations about what this foreign country is like and what it holds for him.
Harry Styles is the popular guy who has no worries and a heart as big as the sun. He sees himself drown in to the world of art and thought of it as something marvelous, just like life, with a lot more to discover and much more to it.
When Louis and Harry met, their love for art creates a strong, yet unfamiliar, connection between them, both willing to teach each other their wonders and ways of seeing life and beauty. They see themselves captured in their diverse perspectives; the grand, the small the bizarre, the beautiful, the ugly--- just like life.
when louis finally comes home, harry isn't waiting. over the past four years, both of their lives have completely changed -- but maybe the feelings are still the same.
(or: harry is an anxious uni student with an abusive boyfriend and louis is a famous musician, but at one point, they were just two high schoolers in love.)
