Hidden Identity ~Larry AU~

Chapter One

Harry's face was scrunched in concentration as he reads the next chapter of a fanfiction called 'Silent Mind'. It was a Ziall fanfiction and Harry couldn't seem to stop reading it. The author of 'Silent Mind' was skilled with words and amazing. She'd made Harry cry about four times already just because of her work. Honestly, the girl needed to cut that out, his mother already wondered what the heck he was doing in his room, imagine if she walked in on him crying at his computer. She'd take him to an asylum for sure. However, the author wasn't the only thing to blame, ziall was definitely Harry's OTP (One True Pairing). Ziall was the name of the bromance between Zayn Malik and Niall Horan, who were two of the members of the biggest boy band ever, The Sun Rises.

Though they might have had one of the weirdest names ever, they were basically the center of Harry's life. The band consisted of Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, and Louis Tomlinson. Niall was the happiest person in the band, in Harry's view. He was actually the one who originally roped Harry into the band. His mother came home one day, kept blabbering about this 'cute boy with the smile on that magazine cover, Harry do you know him??!?!', so of course Harry had to research for her, of course. All in all, Harry's mother's obsession with trying to say up with the mass media had led Harry into something that would change his life. Speaking of things to change your life, enter Zayn Malik's face. He was like the bad boy of the group, wearing the stereotypical leather jackets and smoking cigarettes and not not giving a fuck. And of course, that's why Niall and Zayn were perfect, opposites attract after all. And of course, Liam Payne was just guy next door type, good natured and funny when he wanted to be, kinda like the older brother Harry had always wanted. Then there was Louis Tomlinson...oh Louis...

Louis was a god in Harry's mind. He was beautiful, with blue eyes and a tan face that was framed by smooth, brown hair that was styled in a fringe across his forehead. With a nice arse and personality to boot. No need to say that Harry was totally infatuated with Louis, that was completely evident. 

He guessed they were probably type casted by their management, but damn, if they were acting, they did it well. 

The band was formed on a popular show called 'X-Factor' that Harry spent every waking hour looking at clips of. That was probably maybe a bad life choice. He had been a fan of the band since it was formed and couldn't stop his obsession from growing.

The Sun Rises first song was called 'You and Me' that came out about seven months after the season of X-Factor had ended and the boys had placed first. Now, they were a major hit around the country, no, around the world. And Harry worshiped them, along with millions of other people. It was the hard life. 

Harry just loved Wattpad in general, as well. Wattpad was a website in which Harry wrote and read stories about his favorite boy band. He especially loved Ziall fanfictions, which he wrote on the most part. Right now, he was currently in the middle of writing a good alternate universe one about Zayn, the bad boy in town, who meets Niall, the innocent boy, and they some how just click and things just happen from there. That was a little cliche but he was a starting writer, do what you like. Besides, people seemed to enjoy Harry's writing so far. 

However, more than anything Harry loved to talk to people on Wattpad, because he could discuss his obsession with The Sun Rises and they wouldn't think it weird, they'd probably think of them just the same. 

Suddenly, the symbol that Harry had just received a private message popped up on screen. Harry sighed, really hating to stop reading the story right now, but clicked on it anyway, knowing that he shouldn't be so anti-social. Instead of the message being from someone that Harry was used to ranting about TSR (band name shorted) with, it was a user named 'JustEndItAlready', which really caught Harry's attention, he quickly clicked on the message.

JustEndItAlready: hey. i'm not okay and i really need some help. you said in your bio that your usually on and anyone can talk to you? well, i'm asking for some help.

Harry's eyes visibly widen and he quickly types his response.

HelloMuffins: I'm here! What's going on?

Yes, Harry's username is HelloMuffins, its only that because that was Louis's signature greeting to the fans when they were still on X Factor. The person response almost immediately.

JustEndItAlready: i didn't expect you to respond...thanks. lots of stress. everyone expects me to be perfect. why can't they just see that i'm not?

Harry frowned and started typing.

HelloMuffins: Why do you need to be perfect? I think its better if you're not, your imperfections make you special and different. People who can't be as good at you try and tell you can't do something because they can't. Try not to listen to them.  

JustEndItAlready: it's not that easy. here, where i am, your imperfections make you stand out negatively. And everyone hates me when i show weakness. no one likes me. everyone wishes i would leave.

HelloMuffins: Wow,  i'm sorry thats total shit. what do yo think is wrong with you? Everyone is different. You're not as imperfect as you think it are.  

It took a while for the other person to respond, but when they did, Harry couldn't help but be captivated and feel bad for JustEndItAlready

JustEndItAlready: lets see, i'm stupid. useless. worthless. ugly. fat. disgusting. a freak. horrible. crazy. unwanted. unloved. messed-up. waste of space. an idiot. a wreak. moron. and the worst of all, i'm gay.

Harry's previous frown deepened at that last line.

HelloMuffins: I'm sure you're none those things! Look, you think things about yourself that no one else would ever think. I don't know you, but everyone has worth and people that love and care about them. Yeah, no one is perfect, but that's okay. You're going to be okay, I know it seems hard now, the road to self acceptance is hard one. But you'll get there yeah? Don't forget you're not alone. And what's wrong with being gay? I'm gay! Love is love man, anyone who thinks that you shouldn't be gay shouldn't be in your life.

JustEndItAlready: i guess nothing really is wrong with being gay. but its the fact that where i am, its horrible and people hate you for it. i love your advice, but its not easy, there's so many people here trying to control me, i can't just shove them all back. no one knows yet about my sexuality, well, except for you now, though i'm sure a lot of people suspect it.

HelloMuffins: Look, you don't have to tell anyone about your sexuality, its your own personal choice, after all. But you're valid, thank you for telling me your sexuality, it must be hard, but it's valid and so are you and you are you, no matter what. Seriously, you seem like a person that is just a bit down on their luck right now and in the wrong place for you. Talk to me anytime, it's easier to confess sins when you're anonymous lol.  My name is Harry, by the way. 

JustEndItAlready: i'm being summoned away from my phone, but thank you. this helped a lot, i guess u're right about confessing the sins n shite. just call me l. talk to you later, harry. thanks again 

HelloMuffins: Bye then, L. Talk to you later! :) 

 Harry took a moment before sending the message. Finally, he resigned to sighing and went back to reading 'Silent Mind', which he had decided was his new favorite fanfiction.
