Summary
"I'm not pretending," Louis spits out. "I care about Mina. Unlike you."
He tries to hold eye contact, but holy fuck , Harry’s blown-out pupils make it nearly impossible. It was almost frightening.
"Really?" Harry challenges. "You're not?"
"No."
"No?"
The slam of Harry's hand against the doorframe sends Louis' heart right to his throat.
"Then why do you keep looking at me like that?"
His eyes snap to where Harry's arm meets the side of his head, realizing he's caged him in completely.
"Like what?" He swallows.
Harry grins.
"Like you're trying really fucking hard not to."-or-
Louis knows his place: serving at The KettlePot, nodding along to Mina's plans for his future, and never questioning why none of this feels quite right. Then he meets her insufferable, arrogant, mate Harry. He should hate him. He does hate him. But hatred isn't supposed to feel like this. As Louis finds himself drawn deeper into Harry's chaos, he learns some lies are easier to maintain than others, especially the ones he's telling himself.- Language:

Summary
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.

Summary
Dressed in white, he’d be a vision—and Louis would buy him lace one day as well. A proper dress with a soft hem and detailing so he could know what it feels like to be a bride. The pearl on his chest gleams every so often, sitting where it should always be, beside Harry’s heart. Louis would like to find some more, twist them with wire, and make a set of earrings for him. Girls liked that, perhaps Harry would too? And then, Louis would make love to him like real men do with their wives on their wedding nights.
They give themselves three months to fix this ship and prepare to send Louis back home. During these cold, wet months, Louis teaches Harry about life across the sea. What it’s like to be human. He’s not meant to teach him about love but three months together spent hiding in their hut, sitting by the shore at night, learning the world through each other's eyes… something new blooms and maybe this sailor has given Harry another shot at life again.
Harry’s a nymph, and Louis’ a human and they hate each other—but not really.

Summary
Harry Styles hated the minister's son.
Louis Tomlinson was brash, obnoxious and possessed all the attributes that Harry deemed unlikable in another person. Unfortunately, they attended the same Bible studies class at church and their mothers were best friends, so avoiding the other boy was impossible.
