4 Four

Louis has known he was gay ever since he was 8. Well, he didn't know what it was called, but he knew he didn't like girls.

All the guys in his class had girlfriends. Whether it was one or multiple, they all had girlfriends.

Well, except for Louis.

The thought about having a girlfriend grossed him out. He didn't like the fact that he would have to kiss a girl at one point. He always hated it when his parents would do it.

However, he found the boys in his class attractive. In fact, he liked one guy in particular: Liam Payne.

Liam was Louis's childhood best friend. He was always hanging out with Louis and would do everything with him. So it was no surprise that Louis would fall for Liam of all the people in his class.

However, Liam was into someone else: Louis's other friend, Zayn Malik.

Apparently, the feeling was mutual. Both Liam and Zayn felt the same way for each other, and that broke Louis's heart.

Liam and Zayn continued to hang out with Louis, of course, but it wasn't the same. Liam and Zayn became a thing, so Louis was constantly reminded of his pain and his loneliness.

Eventually, the three of them graduated. They all went to different colleges and Louis lost contact with the couple.

Then Louis became famous, which made the whole thing difficult.

Now Louis wasn't sure of Liam and Zayn's whereabouts, but Liam and Zayn most likely did know about his.

Louis got over his heartbreak with Liam. He was too busy making music and going on tour. He planned on not chasing guys ever again.

Unless it's Harry.

Harry is different. Louis didn't really know Harry. He only talks to him when needed, like when he was auditioning or if he needs anything.

Louis could tell Harry was nervous around him. Of course, who wouldn't be? He's Louis fucking Tomlinson, for God's sake.

But this was a different kind of nervous. Not like the "fan meeting idol" kind of nervous (Louis knows because he's met some big fans of him that were nervous at meeting them), but the "talking to your crush" kind of nervous.

Louis's mind was telling him to stop, that there was a ten-year age gap and that Harry was a minor. But there was something in Louis's heart that was telling him to go ahead and fall head over heels for the boy.

Louis didn't want his heart to be broken, especially by a kid ten years younger than him. But he couldn't help it. It was the exact same feelings he had with Liam.

He was falling in love.

He was falling in love with Harry Styles.
