    Summary

    "You're scared," Harry accused, frustration edging into his voice. "Scared that if you let me back in, things might not be the same. But I can't live with this distance between us."

    Louis clenched his jaw, battling against the vulnerability bubbling beneath the surface. "It's not that simple. We can't just pick up where we left off. We are not teenagers anymore."

    Undeterred, Harry closed the gap, breath mingling with Louis's. "Maybe it doesn't have to be the same. Maybe it can be better."

    Louis's resolve wavered, his gaze softening, but fear quickly returned to his eyes. "I can't risk it."

    In the charged silence, Harry's gaze fixated on Louis's lips, an unspoken understanding passing between them.

    "Harry…" Louis warned, his voice a barely audible plea, their breaths quickening, anger transforming into a potent undercurrent of desire.

    Louis turned to face him again, their noses brushing. He looked up through dark lashes, deep blue eyes wide and shining.

    "Tell me to go, and I swear I won't..." Harry's breath hitched as their eyes locked, the undeniable physical pull between them erasing the words that had driven them apart. "Please, tell me to go," he begged once more.

    Summary

    “So here's the thing,” he starts. “I didn't mean what I said a few weeks ago to like, hurt your feelings or anything. If you like painting your nails, then you should do that, and not like, care if anyone else doesn't like it because their opinions shouldn't matter, you know?” Louis takes a breath, finally glancing over to see the boy wide-eyed and pink-cheeked. On a whim, he adds, “And like, I noticed you scraping it off and you haven't been wearing any and I think you should because that's what you like.”
    or an au where harry paints his nails and drinks strawberry milk and is too nervous for it to be nothing and louis' just trying to figure out whats wrong with him

    Summary

    “Liam, if you met someone that you really liked, would age matter?” Louis asked.
    “I suppose so; to a point, anyway.”
    “Like, how young would you go?”
    Liam thought it over. “Uh… I don’t know. Like, 24?”
    Louis groaned and dropped his head in his hands.
    “Why? How old is this guy you like?”
    “Twenty-one,” Louis muttered.
    “Hang on. He’s 21, and you’re… what? Twenty-eight?”
    “Yeah.”
    “Wow. Um… well, OK. That’s a, uh, that’s a gap.”
    ---
    Or, the 21/28 age difference fic where Harry is younger than Louis thought he was, and even though Louis’ head is telling him not to pursue anything, his heart doesn’t seem to agree.

    Summary

    A series of unfortunate events lands Louis Tomlinson in the heart of Texas.
    After running from his life in London and a performative marriage, he leaves a scandal in his wake.
    Home calls the heart, as his Nana always said. Though her words couldn't be truer when he decides to take up her offer to watch over Hyacinth ranch while she travels abroad.

    He figured the worst he'd have to deal with would be the meddlesome goats, some repairs and an errant spirit or two. That is, until the gorgeous Cowboy next door makes his presence known.

    or

    A romcom au.
