my favorite story that gets told at family events is how Harry Styles flirted with my uncle. It would have been 2014/2015, Washington DC. My uncle is a bald, fit, jewish man. Harry with his long hair and free spirit kept coming back and pointing at him, singing to him, serenading him (my cousin/his daughter remembers being petty that she had worked so hard on her "I love you Harry" sign but her dad got all the attention lol). Louis apparently came by their section too after noticing harry's attention to the bald man, and gave my cousin a little wave, thumbs up.
Over covid, my cousin learned about harry and louis and got sucked into the masterposts. She said that Harry flirting with her dad makes way more sense now that she's grown, basically.
They ended up going to LOT DC. Now I can't confirm this (they took videos and pictures from nationals park but not LOT), but my cousin brought her same sign from 1D days she had drawn as a 7 y/o, Harry recognized it, then spotted my uncle and they had a whole little "omg i know you *wave* *wink*" moment. My uncle apparently shouted/mouthed/motioned(?) to harry "i miss your long hair" and Harry gave him a big cheesy grin, and did a little hair flick (i have a hunch this is dramatized).
My uncle never shuts up about it. My cousin will never forgive him for stealing Harry's attention and affection. :) her favorite after that one direction concert was Louis, rightfully so :)
HAHAHAHA ANON. What an amazing story, and this sounds just like Harry. I'd never shut up about it either if I was your uncle wow, what a legend 😂 Love this, thanks for sharing!
Do y’all ever reread an old unpublished fanfic you wrote and then get invested on the storyline but get sad because you never wrote the next part of it, just me?
