OK DA BEST PARTS IMO:
There's a surefire topic that always Liam feel awkward, and that's sex. It seems to be the only thing Harry can hold over him, the only way to get him to stammer and blush and lose his usual perfect composure. And Harry takes advantage of that, talking about sex whenever he can crowbar it into the conversation, making lewd innuendo, touching Liam in inappropriate places. It's just funny, because Liam has no idea how to react; he'll half-heartedly tell Harry to stop sometimes but for the most part he'll just kind of freeze up and Harry's not quite sure why he enjoys it except that-Liam is one of those people who seem to be able to handle everything, so Harry likes finding the cracks in his armour and poking at them. It's satisfying somehow, making him vulnerable.
YESSSSSSSSSSSS. Harry wanting to make Liam vulnerable and sex being the only thing Harry can hold over him, gah. And the way you described Liam's reaction to Harry touching him, like he just freezes up, that's EXACTLY how his face looks when Harry touches him on stage, like he's half unwilling and half just totally confused and half trying really hard not to get turned on. Ok I realize that's 3 halves but you know what I mean.
It's not even-Liam doesn't even think-it's not like that, it's just that somehow he's forgotten how to look at Harry and not think about sex.
I just really loved this bit. It reminds me of psychological conditioning people use on dogs lol, like whistle=food, or in this case Harry=sex.
It's exciting, because it feels like Liam's lost control of himself a little bit; Harry's managed to wear him down, get him to push past that sensible part of him and just go with his gut. It's so rare.
Everything about this, yeah.
And Liam is good at this, the weight of his body on top of Harry feels so right, like he could really hold him down. Harry gets the feeling he's still thinking; his kissing is sort of careful, his tongue skilful like he's trying to-impress Harry, almost. But he doesn't mind, if it's this good. He likes how Liam tastes, too, sweet in a non-specific kind of way, and he always has that comforting warm smell like clean clothes, even now when Harry knows the basketball shorts he's wearing haven't been washed for a few days. Only Liam would have a natural scent like fabric conditioner.
FIRST OF ALL, THE FOCUS ON LIAM'S SIZE AND STRENGTH. Hnng. Also, I love love love Liam trying to impress Harry, like he knows how experienced Harry is and he wants to be good for him, because Liam WOULD overthink it like that, and I think a part of him really does want to impress Harry irl, too. And of course only Liam would have a natural scent like fabric conditioner. Hahahahahaha yes.

You totally nailed their weird competitive dynamic here. And it's perfect because Harry WAS playing a game this whole time, so it's a completely rational fear for Liam to have because he wasn't privy to Harry's AHA! I DO WANT TO FUCK HIM moment (which btw was also so well-written).
It feels good, curled under him like this-Harry's technically taller than him but it doesn't feel like it now. Liam always has a way of making him feel small, and young, and maybe that's partly why Harry's always doing whatever he can to get one up on him, but right now he doesn't care about that, right now he likes it, wants Liam to show him how strong he is and fuck him really hard.
AGAIN WITH THE SIZE AND THE STRENGTH AND THE SLIGHT SUBMISSIVENESS HNNNNG.
He thrusts in a steady rhythm, trying to build it up, feeling the hot clench of Harry all around him and it's making him light-headed, making his heartbeat short. Harry keeps talking to him, looking into his eyes and saying how good it feels, and Liam doesn't-he doesn't know how to deal with that, with the sudden sincerity in Harry's voice like he means this, he's not just saying it to make Liam blush. It's stupid, but he feels so close to Harry right now, so much closer than they've ever been. And it's not like they've never tried, before, they used to make so much effort to click the way they did with the others, used to get so excited whenever they found something they had in common. It's never been an issue of not liking each other, of not being able to talk to each other, and they are close, but there's always been a distance, something missing from their bond. It seems ridiculous that it might be this, but-
Ok this is definitely my favorite part. It's just the perfect summary of their relationship PLUS it's really hot and the idea that sex might be what they're missing, jskahdfsal;ljfg, like maybe they just need to connect on a PHYSICAL level to really work together. GAH. I also loved Harry still teasing and pestering him (because anything else would be unrealistic) but also being really sincere and complimentary and helping Liam out. You wrote that back and forth in their relationship so so well. ALSO how they've tried so hard to bond in the past, and how they get excited when they find they have anything in common (like they did when they both liked that singer--I think you were the one who brought that up on tumblr or lj or something).
"C'mon, c'mon, harder," he chants, breath damp and hot against Liam's cheek now, and Liam is already going harder than he's ever fucked anyone, harder than he's comfortable with, really, but Harry just wants more. "Liam, come on, be rough with me," Harry begs and there's a different note in his voice now, frustrated and impatient, urging Liam on. It's like he doesn't think Liam can do this, and Liam wants to prove that he can.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.
"We could probably work something out," Harry says. If Louis does mind, maybe he can use that to his advantage, make him all jealous and get some possessive sex out of it.
YOU ALREADY KNOW I LOVE THIS. But yeah, I whimpered. Harry's such a little shit omg, wheedling everyone into rough sex. I reeeeeally loved how they're both willing to try and keep this thing going because it just WORKS between them. Also, I feel like this opens the door for a lot of threesomes which is always good in my book.
YOU ACTUALLY WROTE HARRY/LIAM AND MADE IT IN CHARACTER AND BELIEVABLE AND PERFECT AND YEAH YOU'RE THE BEST ♥

I'm SO glad Louis's involvement worked for you. I think I was just unsure about him because he was kind of acting like he didn't care, but he DID, just in a non-jealous kind of intrigued way. XD (I'm srsly going to struggle with the Lilo though because HARRY WILL NOT REACT THAT WAY)
like he's half unwilling and half just totally confused and half trying really hard not to get turned on. Ok I realize that's 3 halves but you know what I mean - hahahaha YES. Omg, and I swear ever since you mentioned how he has to EXPECT it by now I just can't get that out of my head because you're so right, I mean I know he's an innocent puppy but it's become SUCH a pattern that he has to expect it by now. And then everything gets even more interesting because WHY DOES HE KEEP PUTTING HIS ARM AROUND HARRY? In this it even looks like he's WAITING for it.
It reminds me of psychological conditioning people use on dogs lol, like whistle=food, or in this case Harry=sex - omg I actually nearly put in a mention of it being like psychological conditioning and then I...forgot or something, WAVELENGTH.
I think a part of him really does want to impress Harry irl, too - YES, sort of like he wants to seem ~cooler or prove that he DOES know what he's doing sex-wise. Ugh they could have so much amazing competitive sex.
I'm glad that your favourite part is your favourite part, I had this thing in my head about how sex is a big deal to Liam so he can't help but feel more ~connected to Harry now, but it's not clear whether that's just him being kind of sentimental or if the lack of sex IS actually what's been causing the clash between them. And yesss omg that interview where they're all starry-eyed over the fact that they both like Peter Andre, that gave me so many feels because I'd never really thought about them being UPSET over the fact that they don't click, and the idea of them getting all excited over things they have in common is so precious.
And also yeah I think I'm basically incapable of not writing Harry as submissive and into rough sex now. :| OH WELL. So glad you liked this yaaaaaay. ♥♥♥
