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

💖 The Million Reasons Why by @reminiscingintherain

Home Run by Goodchampagneandprivateplanes | G | 960 “Kiss him, you fool!”

He didn't want to kiss me (luckily you did) by Hiding_Larry | G | 1206 He’s totally ready for it. The second the kiss came takes them both in sight, his face is already glowing with a smile. He turns to Elyas, smiling, but the boy doesn’t take a glance at him, instead chooses to stare straight ahead. He sighs, turning in his seat and looking around. He catches the eye of the man next to him and quirks his lips. The man smiles and leans in.

The Eight (short) Wonders of the (ao3) World by @harryventura

or: eight short fics you should totally read again and again!

Rinse Me Down:

I’m Lovin It:

Harry works at the McDonald’s Drive Thru and Louis desperately tries to win him over with pranks.

It’s Grand Just Holding Your Hand:

As a part of a charity drive, the students could buy their classmates Christmas-themed gingerbread biscuits. Harry’s got to be the only person in school that’s not got anything, but the pretty boy who wears reindeer jumpers and festive suspenders might just be making it all worth it.

Luck O’ the Irish:

Harry sees Louis out at a bar in a certain pair of suspenders and falls head over heels.

Tricking and Treats:

Louis takes his sisters Trick or Treating and just so happens to knock on Harry’s door.

Geordie Shore Au:

An Au based on Geordie Shore, where Nialls broken Harrys heart a few too many times and Louis’ keen to take his mind off it. Just mates being mates.
