SUMMARY: He's always been good at playing the role that the public want to believe in. The smiles of someone who’s happy with his life. Someone who has nothing to want for. It's a bit hard, though, when he's here in this house eating his breakfast for one like every other day since the band ended. It's hard when he goes to bed most nights in this empty house, all on his own, to not face facts about how he feels. He's so bloody lonely, achingly so. He could have people in his bed - the offers are there - but a quick shag isn't what he wants. Living here with no one to share his life with isn't exactly where he pictured his life at this point.
It isn't what he thought his life would become.
Harry's resigned to spending his thirtieth birthday alone, until a chance lunch meeting with Liam takes his night and his life on a totally different path. [future!fic]
