“Harry Styles,” Louis said with a bored tone. “Aren’t you meant to be getting married today?” “Fuck off,” Harry retorted, finally leaning up off the hood of his car. He looked around the parking lot, which was full of cars, but free of any other people. “Can I have a ride?” “To your wedding?” Louis teased just to see Harry roll his eyes. “Away from my wedding.”

that's showbiz, baby!

Thirty two year old, war veteran, Louis has been employed by the influential Edgar Styles to be a personal bodyguard for his son, upcoming popstar, Harry Styles. Chosen for his skill, intellect and dedication, Louis is more than prepared for his new job. But when he arrives, he learns that his duty is much bigger. The omega is being stalked and they want him to have an alpha by his side at all times, one who can play pretend for the cameras, but behind the scenes keep his eyes peeled for an intruder.

What they want is a fake relationship with Harry and Louis at the centre of it, to lure out the stalker.

He tells himself it'll be fine. He's been in all sorts of jobs that have required more from him. It won't be that hard.

Louis swears he’s done with Harry Styles. He’s said it before—after the screaming fights, the slammed doors, the texts he knows he shouldn’t answer but always does. It’s just sex, he tells himself. It doesn’t mean anything. But with Harry, it always means something. Getting over him was never going to be easy, not after nearly two great years together, a breakup that was loud and messy, and a crater left in the middle of their friend group. And definitely not when Harry still looks at him like he still belongs to him. Louis tells his friends it’s over, that it’s just drunken mistakes, that it’s not like that anymore. But Niall, Zayn, and Liam see right through him, because they know that with Harry, it’s always more than that. They tell him to walk away. Louis knows they’re right. But that doesn’t stop him from going back. or; inspired by ‘bad idea right?’ by Olivia Rodrigo, Louis and Harry are exes who always seem to end up in bed with each other.

Louis takes a third-grade teaching job in Clover Hill as a favor, mostly because he has nowhere else to go. He lost his job as a sous-chef, and everything else in Chicago fell apart. This Hallmark-channel town feels more like punishment than a fresh start. Louis prepares for the worst ten months of his life.

Until Harry, the art teacher who ribbon laces his sneakers and paints rainbow fences, makes it really easy to get distracted.

happy birthday, love of my life!
