love is equal

A boy with erogenous scalp and a hair stylist; a match made in heaven. Louis is the hair stylist who likes to flirt and tease but never dates, and Harry is the boy trying to change that.

As the son of Anne Styles, millionaire owner of one of the world's most luxurious fashion labels, Harry has spent his last seventeen years living in carefree extravagance. And now he's grown tired of it, along with the pressure from his mum to follow in her footsteps and the constant care given to him by her past assistants. When his mum's newest assistant, Louis, moves into the guesthouse, Harry determines to be treated differently. To be treated like an adult. Except Louis is not at all what Harry was expecting... This is a story about growing up, growing in love and having the faith to make it last.

it's a good thing they don't do it like this often or louis would've been long dead by now.

Louis has never felt like he was good enough: for his stepdad, for his life-long best friend, for the life he's supposed to want. After an accident that nearly costs him his life, Louis' parents send him to rehab where he’s forced to face his demons. On the long and difficult road to recovery, Louis must confront the truths he’s been avoiding about his future, his relationships, and his sense of self-worth. Because before he can love anyone else, he’s got to learn how to love himself first.

Louis follows Harry, landing on sandy beige paving that frames the pool, a sign to his left about pool safety, and Louis wants to laugh at the irony because he's going to be naked and in a pool with naked Harry and he is going to die. The water is lit up blue, reflecting the neon lights of the motel, a light mist settling around the far edges from the early morning fog, ripples sending smoothly over the blue tiles at the bottom, and Harry is to his left, already unbuttoning his shirt, and yes, Louis is definitely going to die. (or: uni au where the boys meet due to an overnight scavenger hunt.)

"I got a question for you, mate," the lad says. "You wanna make a quick fifty quid?"

By turning the suitcase around, Harry at least found out the name of the sex toy loving stranger. Louis Tomlinson [email protected] OR Louis and Harry happen to switch their suitcases in the airport's bathroom and it's possibly the best mistake Harry has ever made.

“I don’t understand, Mr. Tomlinson,” Harry says quietly. “You don’t have to understand, sweetheart.” Louis reaches over and runs his thumb across Harry’s cheekbone, watching the boy’s breathing pause as he dares not move beneath the touch of this strange, imposing man. “All you need to know is that you work for me now, and that I’m going to keep you safe from all the bad people in this city, you hear?” ..................... Louis Tomlinson is the head of New York City's mafia, and Harry is the beautiful boy from Texas who falls in with the wrong crowd (which turns out to be the right crowd).

Louis raises an eyebrow and smirks. “You have to ask nicely, Harry.” They’ve never really played like this before, and Louis is a little out of his element but he finds that they’re both falling effortlessly into their roles (and not just because Louis is good at acting). Harry’s too overwhelmed, though, to say anything without first gasping, “I c-can’t - god, I can’t believe you - please, Daddy, please put it inside?” ... or, 28-year-old blockbuster actor Louis Tomlinson rushes home to give his 20-year-old model boyfriend Harry a good seeing-to after a particularly provocative Instagram post and, in his excitement, alerts the entire world. Featuring daddy kink, anal beads, and feelings.

“You know I can see colors in sounds, right?” Harry nods, confused as Louis knew he would be. “Well, I have another type of synesthesia, called mirror-touch. Have you heard of it?” Harry shakes his head, and Louis can feel the tenseness in his shoulders and jaws slacking a little at the unexpected topic. “It means I feel what other people feel. Literally, all the time.” OR the one where Harry owns a second-hand clothing store, and Louis is a radio host. Louis has mirror-touch synesthesia, which makes him experience what people around him feel. He feels a lot around Harry.

"I don't have a good past. With boys. I've dated some crap guys who've done terrible things to me and I've…I've done some crazy shit with some guys, and Niall and Liam have always pulled me through, they've always had my best interests in mind. And they…they don't think that you're good for me." Louis finished, sighing and looking down at the tiles. "And the least I can do is listen to them, because I really do adore you, but if I get with you and I fuck things up, like I tend to do, then I'll lose their trust and yours, and I don't want that. I can't--I can't deal with that. It'd kill me." [AU where Louis does ballet and Harry is the epitome of everything Louis' friends want him to stay away from]

“Hi, I’m Harry. I don’t think we’ve met yet, just wanted to say I’m excited to work with you.” Harry says once he’s walked over, smiling at Louis. He would go for a handshake but that seems a bit too formal maybe. “Hi, are you one of the extras?” Louis responds, clearly trying to be polite and failing. Harry feels himself start to frown. “Er, no, I’m Harry, Harry Styles? I play Alex.” he explains. Obviously he’s not egotistic enough to think everyone on set should know who he is. But then again, they did so far. “Ohhh, the pop star right?” Louis quips. And okay. That’s probably the most blatant anyone has been about their preconceptions of him. “Well, yeah, I’m in a band if that’s what you mean. We’re on a hiatus right now but we’re still working on music.” he says, trying not to be affected by Louis’ condescension. “Right, so not an actor. Just a way to get us more press.” It’s annoying but Louis’ slight smirk really suits him. He’s literally standing there insulting Harry but Harry feels almost charmed. Still offended, though. - AU where Harry can't seem to win over his Dunkirk co-star. Inspired by Joey and Kate from Friends.

Harry's new to college, fresh out of Catholic school and conversion therapy camp, and Louis runs the campus LGBTQIA organization.
