Summary
“Wonder what Harry got me?” Louis says sarcastically as he unwraps the gift. Harry thinks Louis unwrapped his gift last on his 16th birthday, too. Which is nice. Makes him feel like he's somebody's favorite.
“Woahhhhhh,” Louis drawls in fake shock. “Would you believe that, a sweater! How original!”
Even so, he immediately gets up and pulls off his current sweater, puts on the new one. It’s light blue, like his dress shirt at the dance was, because Harry had been inspired.
“Maybe one year I’ll design and knit you one myself,” Harry says, only half joking.
“Seriously?” Louis says, his eyes shining. “Is that a promise?”
Harry can’t stop smiling. “Yeah. I promise.”
“Hey, Harry, can you make us all one, too? Can you make mine extra fluffy?” Niall asks from somewhere off to the side.
“No,” Louis answers for him, pushing the sleeves up as he reaches for a slice of the cake Harry made. “Only me.”

Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson meet at Christmas as freshmen in high school. Their lives converge and diverge, with Christmas serving as their yearly checkpoint. Every year, it's different. Every year, it's also sort of the same.Bookmarked by redstrawberryraspberry

Summary
It’s Louis’ first year at Manchester United’s football academy, and he’s dead set on doing it right. With Harry by his side, the world is there for the taking. Playing for the Under-21’s team, the path to becoming the next star of the Premier League is clear.
He didn’t expect to have to deal with a new coach, missing his friends, and a homophobic teammate making his life that much worse. Hiding his relationship with Harry seems like a good plan until it doesn’t, and handling things in general doesn’t seem to be his thing.
Or: The one where Louis and Harry definitely love each other, and football still is everything. (Maybe it shouldn’t be.)

Summary
“I thought you were jealous for a second there,” Harry teases, a smile in his voice.
Louis pulls back just enough to glare up at him, unimpressed.
“As if,” he says with a dramatic snort. “Hell will freeze over before I let Bimbo Lena make me feel anything but annoyed." He flicks his eyes in her direction with the sharp precision of someone who’s perfected passive aggression into an Olympic sport. “Please. I’ve seen more personality in a bag of frozen peas.”
Harry barks a laugh, loud and sudden, head tipping back, curls bouncing. Louis grins despite himself. He loves that laugh—carefree and boyish, all soft edges and sunshine.
“Don’t be mean,” Harry says, still chuckling. “She was nice. Said I looked like someone out of a superhero movie. Could be a compliment.”
Louis rolls his eyes so hard it’s a miracle they don’t tumble right out of his head. “Wow. Groundbreaking. I bet she thinks Thor is a type of dog.”
or- Louis and Harry are best friends who happen to fuck on a semi-regular basis. When Louis caught feelings, he groaned aloud. What a cliché.

Louis doesn’t respond.
Harry glances up. Louis is completely silent, staring very hard at a spot on the table.
Something clicks in Harry’s tired brain. “Wait…”
He looks back down at the list. Then back up at Louis. Then at the list again. There’s no fucking way.
Louis clears his throat. “No, like...you’d be doing the fucking.”

Summary
"“ENOUGH!”
In an instant, all the laughter died out.
All three of the boys turned halfway around to look at the man behind them.
And yeah, Harry knew that guy. Everyone in town knew Louis Tomlinson. When Harry was twelve, his older sister had almost slept with him despite him being a year under her. Then he slept with her friend instead, of course, so Gemma caught a lucky break, though she didn’t seem to appreciate it at the time. In fact, one could argue she missed out on a vital rite of passage. Few girls around her age had made it through school and out of town without rounding Louis Tomlinson’s bed."
--
Based on prompt: 446.: Fuckboy Louis and sweet, innocent Harry. They fall in love and Harry feels insecure about his lack of experience in sex. A fic where Louis used to sleep around and is grumpy towards anyone but his baby Harry.
