Harry Styles has always known how to survive.
Keep it light. Keep it sharp. Never let anything touch you long enough to leave a mark.
At school, it works. He's confident, careless, impossible to pin down-the kind of student teachers give up on before they even really try.
At home it's different.
So when he's placed in the same classroom as Louis Tomlinson- well known kid but he's quiet if he's not with his group of friends. He expects nothing less than Louis barely looking at him. He's the same as everyone else in the school. Harry thinks Louis will take a glance and then never look his way again.
But he doesn't look away.
In a world that has always been too loud, too fast, too unforgiving, Harry finds himself pulled into something dangerously unfamiliar- softness. Steady voices. Open doors. The kind of care that doesn't come with conditions.
It shouldn't mean anything.
It should be easy to walk away.
But the more time he spends in that quiet, the more the cracks begin to show-and the harder it becomes to return to a life where no one ever stayed.
Because some things don't break all at once.
Some things unravel slowly-
in the silence,
in the space between the words,
in the moment you realise you wanted something you were never meant to have.
!LARRY STYLINSON!
