Going into the fourteenth race, Harry qualifies with a stellar time, beating the previous track record by three seconds. Unfortunately, Louis does too, and on the last segment of the track he pulls out a startling lap time, beating Harry by almost eight tenths of a second.

The only positive about starting behind Louis is at least he’ll get to stare at Louis’ ass.

2.

“However many,” Louis faked direction again, “goals we each score, that’s how many times we each get off tonight.”

Harry hated when Louis was a tease. “Yeah, you up for getting me off three times tonight? Think you can handle it?”

3.

“Why?” Harry shook his head. “Why are you here? You’re gorgeous. I can’t imagine you’re hard up for… um…”

“Oh,” that time Louis’ whole face blushed. He put his cup down on the counter and turned around. He put both hands on his sizeable, seemingly-firm, arse. “Because of this,” he squeezed, “everyone wants me to bottom.

4.

Before he realised it, he was just as drunk as Louis and hadn’t even attempted to find his friends. Or his fiance, who, once Nick thought of it, hadn’t made any attempt to find him either. Which was fine, really.

Escapade by dolce_piccante  {mature, 146k, 5 chapters, fake relationship AU, slow build, side ziall, ot5 friendship + involvement, enemies to lovers, smut, sharing a bed}

In the grand scheme of things, finding a date for a wedding should be no problem for Louis Tomlinson. He's rich. He's handsome. He's reasonably well behaved. But when the wedding is for his lifelong best friend (and former boyfriend), and is happening in under a month, finding a date for the ceremony and accompanying festivities becomes more of an adventure than he ever could have planned for.

“Sure you can,” Liam argues. “I’m obviously ‘the jock’. You’re the nerd. Louis’ the delinquent. And Zayn, here, is the spoiled little princess.”

Louis is the only one not offended by Liam’s assessment, smiling widely at being called a delinquent. Liam’s not wrong there.

Harry, however, sinks even further into himself as Zayn leans over and slaps Liam hard on the back of the head.

2.

Harry tries to hide his new monstrosities from Louis when he gets home the following day but he’s too slow.

They’re red and he spies them right away, stealing them from Harry and slipping them onto his hands where he stares at them dubiously. “These are strange-looking mittens.”

Harry bites his lip and refrains from groaning. “That’s because they’re socks."

3.

“I mean, it would probably help to know that you actually want everything that goes along with being with a guy. If you can’t handle the machinery, it’s probably not for you, you know?”

Harry nods and appears to be steeling himself. Louis tenses, afraid that he knows what’s coming.

“Would you do it?”

“Do what?” Louis plays dumb.

Harry has to take another deep breath before he can say it.

“Will you help me figure out if I like it? Being with a boy?”

4.

He takes a step towards the door and they all see it coming but can’t do a thing as the bike decides it doesn’t like the angle it’s sitting at and crashes to the ground behind Harry. Harry winces at the sound as, on the other side of the parlor window, Niall snorts loudly, tears of laughter rolling down his cheeks.

Louis takes pity on Harry and goes outside to help him right his bike. Harry doesn’t say a word as they work and Louis figures he’s probably embarrassed. Louis would be.

Finally, they get the bike to stay and Harry looks grateful for a moment before he turns it into a leer.

Wear It Like a Crown by zarah5

{explicit, 141k, 13 chapters, royalty AU, royal!Harry, ot5 involvement + friendship, side ziam, smut, angst}

AU. As part of a team of fixers hired to handle a gay scandal in Buckingham Palace, Louis expects Prince Harry to be a lot of things—most notably a royally spoilt brat. Never mind that the very same Prince Harry used to star in quite a number of Louis' teenage fantasies.

Young & Beautiful by Velvetoscar

Louis, to his horror, attends an elitist university in which the name Zayn Malik means something, Niall Horan doesn't stop talking, there are pianos everywhere, and Harry Styles, only son of a drug-addled, clinically insane ex-rocker, has a perfect smile and empty eyes.

Walk That Mile by purpledaisy

Harry stares at him, the line of his jaw standing out scarily. “I wanted to get the most out of this trip so I planned it carefully.” His voice is low and steady and somehow that’s worse than when he was yelling. “So far, you’ve put your sticky fingers on everything I’ve tried to do.”

“Sticky fingers?” Louis repeats, offended. “Are you saying it’s my fault you got stung by a bee? Had you been alone you would have gotten halfway to the Dotty Diner and ran the car off the road because of an allergic reaction, so don’t go blaming me.”

“Polk-A-Dot Drive In,” Harry spits before getting out of the car. He slams the door shut with a deafening reverb and Louis rolls his eyes. A Route 66 AU where falling in love was never part of the plan.
