Change Of Style(s), Harry
Jacob had always been infatuated with Harry Styles. More than infatuated, really—obsessed. To him, Harry was perfection incarnate: the tousled curls, the effortlessly cool demeanor, the charm that made hearts swoon worldwide. Every time Jacob looked in the mirror, all he could see was a poor imitation, a shadow of the man he admired. Harry was, without a doubt, the sexiest man alive, and Jacob craved that allure for himself.
It was during one of Harry’s concerts, the pinnacle of his obsession, that Jacob’s plan began to take shape. He was just another face in the crowd, but inside, he was plotting something far darker than mere adoration. After the final encore, when the crowds had dispersed, Jacob found his way backstage. He had no plan for what he would do once he got there—he was acting on pure impulse, driven by a need he couldn’t fully comprehend.
He lingered in the shadows, watching as the crew cleaned up and as Harry finally retreated to his lodge. Jacob waited until the hallway was empty, until it was just him and the door that led to his idol. He could hear the faint hum of a song from the other side, Harry humming a melody to himself, completely unaware of what was coming.
Jacob’s heart pounded as he turned the doorknob. There was Harry, brushing his hair, lost in thought. For a moment, Jacob just stood there, mesmerized by the sight of him up close, like seeing a god in the flesh. Then, almost without thinking, he grabbed the hairbrush from Harry’s hand and bolted out of the room.
With the brush clutched tightly in his hand, Jacob raced home, his mind spinning with possibilities. He’d been working on something—a machine, something that had started as a mad idea but now seemed within reach. It was going to change everything. It was going to make him into Harry.
For the next several hours, Jacob worked feverishly, driven by an energy that bordered on madness. He tinkered with wires, adjusted circuits, and fed a few of Harry’s hairs into the machine. The technology was something he’d pieced together from a mix of online tutorials, scientific articles, and sheer obsession. It was crude, perhaps even dangerous, but Jacob was beyond caring.
Finally, as dawn broke, the machine was ready. But Jacob needed one last thing—the man himself.
The next evening, Harry had another concert. Jacob arrived early, lurking near the venue’s entrance, waiting for the right moment. When Harry stepped out of his car, Jacob acted. He swung a heavy object at Harry's head, just hard enough to knock him out. Adrenaline surged through Jacob as he dragged Harry to his car, praying no one had seen them.
Back at his apartment, Jacob tied Harry securely to a chair. The pop star groaned as he began to regain consciousness, his eyes widening in confusion and fear when he saw Jacob standing before him.
“W-What are you doing?” Harry’s voice was hoarse, panic seeping in as he tugged at the ropes.
Jacob didn’t answer. He simply walked over to his machine, now humming with power, and took a deep breath. He fed Harry’s hair into the machine and then brought it close to scan his face. The machine whirred and clicked, taking in every detail of Harry’s features.
Jacob felt a surge of exhilaration as he placed the machine against his own head. This was it—the moment he’d been waiting for. The machine hummed louder, its metallic surface heating up as it began the process. Then, with a sharp, almost unbearable jolt, the transformation began.
Jacob’s skin started to tingle, a sensation that quickly turned to searing heat. It felt as if his very cells were being pulled apart and reshaped. His bones cracked and shifted, his muscles rippling and tearing under the strain. He screamed—a high-pitched, agonized sound—but the machine held him in place, forcing him through the process.
He could feel his face contorting, his jawline sharpening, his cheeks hollowing out. His eyes burned as they changed shape, his vision blurring and then refocusing with startling clarity. The pain was beyond anything he had ever imagined, yet underneath it all, there was a thrill—a twisted sense of triumph.
The agony seemed to go on forever, but finally, the machine fell silent. Jacob collapsed to the floor, his body trembling, drenched in sweat. For a moment, he couldn’t move, couldn’t think. But then, slowly, he pushed himself up and stumbled toward the mirror.
What he saw took his breath away.
Staring back at him was Harry Styles—or rather, a perfect replica. The features, the hair, the eyes—it was all there. Jacob’s heart raced as he reached up to touch his new face, his fingers tracing the sharp contours of Harry’s jaw, the soft fullness of his lips. It felt surreal, like a dream, but the skin beneath his fingers was real, warm, and alive.
A grin spread across Jacob’s—no, Harry’s—face as he ran his hands over his new body. He could feel the lean muscle under the skin, the way his clothes now hung perfectly on his frame. His hand drifted lower, over the flat plane of his stomach, to the waistband of his jeans. He hesitated for just a moment, then allowed his fingers to slide inside, feeling the firmness, the heat of Harry’s flesh now his own.
A shiver ran through him as he squeezed, the sensation sending a thrill through his entire body. It was all his—every inch, every muscle, every intimate detail. His grin widened, a mixture of disbelief and sheer joy. He was no longer Jacob, the ordinary, overlooked man. He was Harry Styles, the most desired man on the planet.
Behind him, the real Harry struggled, his eyes wide with horror as he watched his doppelgänger. Jacob—now fully Harry—turned around slowly, a smirk playing on his lips.
“Well, how do I look?” Jacob asked, his voice an exact mimicry of Harry’s smooth, melodic tone. He sauntered over to the bound man, crouching down to meet his eyes. “It’s uncanny, isn’t it?”
Harry could only stare, his mind reeling with shock and terror. Jacob leaned in closer, his breath warm against Harry’s ear.
“Listen to this,” Jacob whispered, before breaking into one of Harry’s signature songs, his voice capturing every inflection, every note with perfect precision. It was as if Harry himself was singing, only it wasn’t. The real Harry felt his blood run cold.
“See?” Jacob said, his voice dripping with satisfaction. “I’m you now. Better than you, really. Because I want it more.”
With that, Jacob stood up, leaving the real Harry to struggle helplessly against the ropes. He couldn’t resist glancing back at his reflection, unable to get enough of his new face, his new body. It was everything he had ever dreamed of, and more.
Jacob’s heart raced with excitement as he prepared for the next part of his plan. He drove back to the stadium, his new face greeted by the security team with respectful nods. No one questioned him as he entered Harry’s private dressing room.
The room was a treasure trove of everything Harry Styles—luxurious clothes hung neatly in the closet, a variety of accessories displayed on the dresser, and on a separate vanity, a collection of hair products. Jacob smiled as he ran his fingers through his new curls, then picked up the bottles one by one. He recognized the names—Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray, Kevin Murphy’s Anti-Gravity lotion, and Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray. These were the secret weapons behind Harry’s iconic look, and now, they were his.
Jacob took his time, savoring every moment. He sprayed his hair with the Surf Spray, scrunching it with his fingers to create that perfect, effortless wave. Then came the Anti-Gravity lotion, adding volume and a subtle shine. Finally, he finished with the Oribe spray, feeling his hair lift and hold just like Harry’s did on stage.
He stepped back to admire his handiwork. The clothes, the hair, the face—it was all flawless. Jacob—Harry—felt a surge of pride as he slipped into one of Harry’s custom-made suits, the fabric hugging his body in all the right places. He looked every bit the superstar, and it felt like he was finally stepping into his rightful place.
That night, Jacob—now Harry—took to the stage. The lights, the cheers, the adoration of thousands washed over him, filling him with a sense of euphoria he had never known. This was his life now, his world. As the concert went on, he felt more and more like the man he had always dreamed of being.
But even as the cheers of the crowd echoed in his ears, Jacob couldn’t ignore the nagging thought at the back of his mind. There was still something he needed to do—something to make this transformation truly complete.
After the concert, Jacob returned to his apartment, where the real Harry still sat tied to the chair, his struggles having weakened him. Jacob could see the fear and exhaustion in Harry’s eyes, but he felt nothing but cold satisfaction. He had what he wanted, but there was more to be done.
Jacob set to work, building another device. This one wasn’t for physical transformation, but for mental control. He had come too far to risk Harry breaking free and ruining everything. The new machine was designed to hypnotize, to lull the mind into a deep, inescapable sleep, and perhaps—if used correctly—to plant suggestions that would make Harry more... cooperative. Jacob knew he couldn’t keep Harry tied up forever, but if he could control his mind, he wouldn’t need to. Harry would do whatever Jacob told him to, believe whatever Jacob wanted him to believe.
Once the device was complete, Jacob approached the bound Harry with a cold determination. Harry flinched as Jacob set the machine in front of him, his eyes widening in terror.
“Don’t worry,” Jacob said, his voice now eerily calm. “This won’t hurt. In fact, it’ll help you. Help you accept things.”
Harry struggled weakly against his bonds, but he was too drained to resist. Jacob switched on the machine, and a soft, rhythmic hum filled the room. Lights flickered, casting a hypnotic glow across Harry’s face. His eyes glazed over as the machine took hold of his mind, pulling him into a trance.
Jacob watched as Harry’s body relaxed, his breathing slowing. Once he was sure Harry was fully under, Jacob began to speak softly, his words dripping with intent.
“You’re safe, Harry,” Jacob murmured. “You’re with someone who cares about you, who understands you. You don’t need to fight. Just let go… let go and sleep.”
He repeated the commands over and over, reinforcing the suggestion until Harry’s head lolled to one side, deep in a hypnotic sleep. Jacob smiled, satisfied that Harry was now under his control. But he wasn’t done yet.
Jacob had always admired more than just Harry Styles. There were others, men who were just as iconic, just as desirable in different ways. As he looked down at the sleeping Harry, an idea formed—a way to make this twisted fantasy even more complete.
Jacob retrieved the shape-shifting machine and began to prepare it for another transformation. This time, it wasn’t for himself, but for the helpless man before him. He programmed the machine with a new set of instructions, feeding in data he had collected on another of his obsessions: Zayn Malik.
He carefully scanned Harry’s face one last time, then flipped the machine’s settings. Slowly, almost methodically, Jacob began the transformation. The machine hummed and whirred as it worked, Harry’s body jerking slightly as his features began to shift.
Jacob watched, utterly fascinated, as Harry’s hair darkened, shifting from its chestnut curls to the inky blackness that defined Zayn. The texture altered too, from soft waves to Zayn’s signature slicked-back style. Jacob’s breath quickened as he saw Harry’s face slowly reshape—his jawline becoming more angular, his lips slightly fuller. The transformation was seamless, as if the very essence of Harry was being rewritten, erased, and replaced by someone entirely new.
The change didn’t stop at Harry’s face. His skin tone warmed, deepening to match Zayn’s, while his body subtly adjusted—leaner in some places, more defined in others. His tattoos morphed, shifting patterns and styles until they matched those famously inked on Zayn’s body.
Jacob was in awe of his creation, unable to tear his eyes away from the spectacle. He felt a rush of power, a dizzying sense of control. First, he had become Harry Styles—stepped into the skin of the man he idolized. And now, he had reshaped Harry into his other obsession, Zayn Malik. It was intoxicating.
When the transformation was complete, Jacob stood back, a smirk forming on his lips. The man before him was no longer Harry Styles—he was Zayn Malik, right down to the smallest detail. The real Zayn would never suspect a thing, and the world would believe the man tied to the chair was Zayn.
With a surge of confidence, Jacob stepped closer to his new creation. He couldn’t resist taunting him, seeing his own handiwork up close. “Look at you,” Jacob murmured, his voice filled with twisted admiration. “You’re perfect.”
Harry—now Zayn—was still unconscious, but Jacob couldn’t help but revel in his success. He had done the impossible, and the power of it sent a thrill down his spine. He crouched down, brushing a strand of black hair away from Zayn’s face. “Do you know what you are now? You’re exactly what I wanted you to be.”
Jacob couldn’t resist touching Zayn’s face, tracing the new contours with his fingertips. The thrill of control, of shaping someone so completely, filled him with a sense of invincibility. He had taken Harry’s life, his face, and now, he had reshaped Harry into Zayn, the man he had always admired from afar.
Jacob stood up, his confidence skyrocketing. He felt untouchable, like a god who could mold and manipulate reality itself. He had become the man of his dreams, and he had turned his idol into another of his obsessions. What could possibly stop him now?
But there was one more thing to do, one more step to take to cement his victory. He returned to his new hypnotic machine, preparing to plant the final set of commands in Zayn’s mind.
He adjusted the settings, then turned the machine back on. The hum returned, and Jacob leaned in close, his voice soft but firm. “Zayn,” he whispered, watching the man’s eyelids flutter at the sound of his new name. “You’ve always felt something for Harry, haven’t you? A connection, something more than friendship. It’s okay to feel that way. You’ve always wanted to be with him, haven’t you?”
Zayn’s—Harry’s—brow furrowed slightly as the new thoughts began to take root.
“You love Harry,” Jacob continued, his voice soothing, persuasive. “You’ve always loved him. You want to be with him. You want to make him happy, to be together forever. And now, you can. Now, you’re together, and nothing else matters.”
Jacob repeated these suggestions over and over, reinforcing them until he was sure they were deeply embedded in Zayn’s subconscious. When he finally turned off the machine, Zayn remained asleep, but his expression had changed. There was a softness there, a contentedness that hadn’t been present before.
Jacob stood back, admiring his work. The transformation was complete, both physically and mentally. The real Harry Styles was gone, replaced by a man who now believed he was Zayn Malik—and more importantly, a man who believed he was in love with Jacob, who he saw as the real Harry Styles.
With a satisfied smile, Jacob leaned down and gently untied Zayn’s hands. He stroked the man’s cheek, watching as he slowly woke from his induced sleep. Zayn blinked up at Jacob, confusion briefly crossing his face before a warm, loving smile spread across his lips.
“Harry…” Zayn murmured, his voice filled with affection. “I… I love you.”
Jacob’s heart swelled with twisted pride and satisfaction. Everything had fallen into place perfectly. He now had everything he had ever wanted: Harry Styles’ life, his looks, and now, even a devoted partner who believed they were meant to be together.
As Zayn reached up to touch Jacob’s—Harry’s—face, Jacob couldn’t help but think that this was just the beginning of his new, perfect life. And as far as he was concerned, the real Harry Styles was nothing more than a forgotten memory, replaced by something far better.
