FIC REC #1D - ONLY LONELY (BUT I CAN'T STOP LOVING YOU) (NC17 HARRY/LOUIS) READ IT
head canon ACCEPTED OH YES!
ONLY LONELY (BUT I CAN'T STOP LOVING YOU) by trustingno1
NC17 | canon, tour!fic, all the good things happen when they're in aus (or in japan but that's for another fic), pining, emotional hurt/comfort, ALL THE FEELINGS (small mention of beard!eleanor) | 4.7k | harry/louis (louis/eleanor)
summary: It's been so long since they've done this, hung out, just the two of them, and he doesn't know what to say, smiling, a little sheepishly, when he catches Louis' gaze across the table, and there's something in the creases around Louis' eyes when he smiles back that make him feel like he's still seventeen and the center of Louis' world and it hurts almost as much as politely distant Louis does, just. In a different way.
read it because of:
"I miss you," he says, without preamble, staring back into the room, and Louis stiffens beside him. "Like," he continues, "Not - I know," and this is too big and too important to say wrong, and he can't find the words he needs, but "Like," he tries again, "we were mates, yeah?" and he doesn't wait for Louis to reply, doesn't need Louis to reply, because they were, and it's just a fact. "I just - I miss my best mate," he says, quieter.
Louis makes a tiny, helpless noise in the back of his throat, almost a "Haz," like maybe Harry's not the only one still hurting, and it's stupid to hope, so stupid, but he can't not hope when it comes to Louis --
