happy monday friends <3

Louis smiled a little and even as he and Liam started to walk towards the school entrance and leaving Harry behind, he knew he’d have a hard time focusing the entire day. -- @donotdialnine

“Louis Tomlinson, bless his heart,” Greg says, “Has not once in all the years I’ve known him been on time for anything.” -- @londonfoginacup

Louis plugged his ears as all mature twenty-six year olds would do to avoid life. -- @2tiedships2

"You coming?" He hears Louis ask from up ahead of him. And no, that's exactly what he's trying to avoid at the moment. -- @@ireallysawanangel

Harry just sort of stares at him for a bit. It’s not that Louis has never spoken to him before, it’s just that Harry isn’t very good at… Breathing and stuff around Louis. -- @maggieisalarrie

“To be fair, I did bend over the desk on purpose,” Louis’ voice comes crackling in the headphones. Harry practically breaks his neck whipping his head around at the sound of it, gaping at him through the glass panel. “You can’t really blame him for getting a little excited about that, can you?” -- @crazyupsetter

Harry blushed and shrugged his shoulders as he willed himself to speak without fucking up again. “I’m 21.” He did it. -- @harryventura

Oh Christ. As his dresser, it is now literally Harry’s job description to touch Louis Tomlinson. Sometimes in fairly inappropriate places. Harry can’t decide whether this is the best thing that’s ever happened to him or the worst. By Monday morning, Harry has decided. This is the worst thing that’s ever happened to him. -- @balanceds

It’s not like Louis was exactly planning on saying that but he’s said it now and the look in Harry’s eyes isn’t one of fear or repulsion, it’s of curiosity and willingness and Louis can practically hear his mind screaming “yes! Fuck me right now!” because his mind is screaming for him to fuck Harry, too. -- @star55

This is a fic rec of One Direction fan fics with a posh and/or spoiled Louis character as requested in this ask. If you enjoy the fic, please leave kudos and comments for the writer! You can find my other fic recs here. Happy reading!
