    Summary

    Nick leans over. "Oh," he says, his voice smug. "Who is that?"

    Harry just blinks at his phone. "Um," he manages to stammer out.

    "Who's that, Harry?" Nick asks again, but this time he raises his eyebrows and smirks. Harry knows Nick is just teasing, and that he's not really looking for new Harry Styles gossip, but, um. He might have found something. Accidentally.

    Harry opens his mouth to speak, but all that comes out is another 'um'. He really needs to work on translating his thoughts into words. But then it probably wouldn't be any help right now, would it? His mind is as blank as a newly erased etch-a-sketch.

    "Oh," Nick says again, this time gleefully, seemingly having picked up on Harry's distress. "Looks like we've got a story here! Are you going to call or delete her number?"

    Her number. So Nick thinks it's a girl. Well, Harry can't blame him: 'Lou' is kind of an androgynous nickname. His stylist's name is Lou.

    But this Lou, well, Louis, he's kind of, really, really not a girl. He's really pretty though, which, is something.

    (Or: AU where Harry's in One Direction, Louis isn't, and they reconnect over a game of 'Call or Delete'.)

    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

    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.)
