“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.

Finding Pieces We Can Fit

At 32 years of age, Louis admits defeat in the search for a life partner. His mother introduces him to a similarly disillusioned but still hopelessly romantic Harry. These two forces collide and collude in the best and worst of ways, determined to make things work. Miso cannot be bothered by their shenanigans. She can see the writing on the wall.

a soft place to land

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.

Nothing is going right in Louis’ life lately. Between his bosses constantly putting him through the shredder, and his relationship being on life support, Louis is in desperate need for the one thing he never allows himself to have. He hasn’t seen Harry in months, but for the right price, Harry can help Louis let go and get him where he needs to be.

People think of periods in their lives in different ways. Some view them as whole years, with smaller sub periods within them. Some take the “era” approach, times where they were a certain way for a time. Some even use major life events as check points, from graduation to marriage to having kids.  Harry thinks of his life in three chapters: before Louis, during Louis, and after Louis.

harry had it all. a successful solo career, amazing friends, a wonderful partner. when his partner of 10 years breaks up with him out of the blue, he convinces himself it was mutual to cope. when he realizes that he’s still in love and the breakup was never mutual, he does what he should’ve done before: fight to be with louis.

“Hello?”

It's tentative, the voice. Louis keeps his eyes firmly closed. This isn't real, he tells himself. This isn't happening. He’d been so careful.

Zayn was going to kill him. Fuck. He’d known better than to go out for a supply run on his own. But Susie had been sick and he hadn’t wanted to take Mike with him when he was so worried about his little sister. She was only eleven years old, it wasn’t like she could stay on her own.

He knows the rules. He knows that agreement that he’s made with Zayn. If I ever come back different-

He scrunches his eyes shut even tighter, as though that can keep the horrible truth at bay. He doesn’t have to be different, he tells himself. He can just ignore-

“Hello?”

Shut up, he thinks. This isn’t real. You’re not real. This isn’t happening.

“I’m sorry you feel that way,” the voice in his head whispers.

Summary:

Niall rolls his eyes. “I’m not being rude, Lou. It took you two twice as long to even tie your legs together. I’m being practical.”

“Louis wasn’t satisfied with my performance,” Harry explains.

Louis bunches his fists up at his sides, resisting the urge to put one of them through a wall. “I have yet to see a performance worthy of any sort of praise from you in any capacity,” he replies, keeping his voice clipped and measured.

“Look,” Zayn snaps. “You two are running first. It’s not a negotiation. Get on the start line and don’t fuck this up too badly, alright?”

Louis and Harry exchange a quick glance. If looks could kill Louis would be dead on the conference room floor by now, but Harry would probably be in an equal position opposite him. He’s never hated someone so much. “Fine,” he says, begrudgingly. “Let’s get this over with.” 

Or - the one where Louis is just trying to make it through to the weekend at the job he hates, and Harry’s the bratty intern that won’t give him a moment’s peace.
