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.

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.Series

His brow arched when nothing came.
"…You there?"
A small, breathy response surfaced just a second later, much quieter than before. "Yeah, I'm—I'm here."
"Great," Louis' smile stretched lazily. "So, you're going to get up. Go to your bathroom—"
"Wait—"
"—And you're going to take a photo of those tan lines you're so desperate for me to know about, alright?" His legs spread as he lay on the couch, cock half-erect, already twitching against his jeans. "I want to see exactly how sun-kissed and pretty you got for me today, baby." He paused, giving it a moment to settle. "Can you do that for me?"
"I—" Another faltering pause. Then, just as softly, he heard Harry exhale, whispering: "Yes."-or-
Louis had understood that long distance would come with a certain level of pathetic suffering. Harry, on the other hand, was doing his absolute best to make it worse, starting with a text that Louis should definitely not have translated during a work meeting.
