the delicate beginning rush by roguesue [famous/non-famous, mature, 89k]
He's so in love it feels silly sometimes, not really thinking it's possible for someone his age feel such strong things about a bloke he met while scrolling through fucking Instagram. Before Louis arrived to Manchester, he used to stay up at night and think maybe it was all a big dream his mind had created in those moments he had between life and death, that instead of showing him all his life, it created a fantasy with the man of his dreams, finally getting to fall in love. It was bloody dumb, he knew that, but he also knew how much life hated him, how he had been miserable for almost his entire existence.
And right now, in Louis' arms, he prays this isn't his imagination or a dream, he prays to whoever is out there that he'll always have this, his love with Louis.
Harry finds Louis without meaning to, quickly obsessing with the blue-eyed boy and somehow ends up having a long distance relationship with him, getting to have the teenage love story he always longed for. But Harry quickly learns that it’s not as easy as it seems, having to decide what’s best for the both of them.
