jurry collage/university au. mentally referring to it as the one where all the exes are friends.
justin and niall are roommates that used to date and now they're best friends. Niall goes out and parties and barely gets any schoolwork done and knows everyone on campus. Justin doesn't go out much but he knows everyone and he flirts with 98% of the students and faculty anyway but he's only really close with his friends from back home and Niall.
Niall has this thing where he's friends with all his exes: Justin, Amy, Professor Buble...so when Justin and Selena break up they decide to follow his example.
So the dynamic duo Justin&Niall expands to include Selena, and then Selena's friend Taylor gets absorbed into their group. Taylor is dating the bass-playing front man of a band, Harry Styles, who joins their crew of Saturday night regulars, along with Liam the guitarist, Zayn the drummer, and occasionally, Harry's older best friend Louis and his boyfriend, Nick Grimshaw.
They all become really close friends, Niall and Zayn fall crazy in love (Zayn and Justin have hooked up before but Justin's hooked up with everybody so it's not a big deal), and then Taylor graduates and she and Harry break up because she's moving to Nashville. They were kind of in love, in that way where they were just sweet and cute and into strumming guitars together and taking cute instagram pictures.
Come next semester the band is getting locally known, Zayn and Niall are still going strong, Selena's starting a flirtation with the sexy TA, Demi, and with Liam always holed up studying, Justin and Harry are kind of thrown together when they hang out. They didn't really notice before, but they've stayed far away from each other. They're basically only friends through the others in the group, barely ever making direct contact. So this whole hanging-out-alone thing is really weird.
Harry still hasn't dated anyone since Taylor. He hasn't even been able to bring himself to go out and hook up. He's not sure why, and its making him kind of desperate Which is probably why one night, when everyone's drunk and Justin starts spitting Kayne lyrics with his pretty, sugar pink lips (like he's prone to doing when drunk) Harry notices.
He shoots a careless insult Justin's way at lunch a few weeks later, and he notices that Justin's not all that great at comebacks (not that Harry is either), and that his eyebrows and his cheeks scrunch up all cute when he squints. Probably everyone's cheeks and eyebrows do that right? but it looks better on Justin. Goofy, confident, deeply patriotic Justin. The skinny white boy who spits everything from Tupac to Drake. And yeah, its kind of...something (...attractive? sexy?) but Harry hates Justin's weird clothes and he hates being called bro, and he just...doesn't like Justin as a person all that much.
Teasing him, though. that he likes. He likes the squinty-eyed look Justin gets, or his deadpan expression those rare times when his comeback is a semblance of witty. He likes the way Justin sighs and rolls his eyes and shakes his head and mutters. And when Justin gets fed up and tips his head back and groans at Harry to PLEASE shut up, it makes Harry want to bite his neck. When he looks at Louis and Nick, they're laughing up their sleeves. Justin is oblivious and gorgeous and ridiculous. Justin is making him act weird, or so Niall cheerfully informs him. Justins neck and his mouth and his eyes...they're all ruining Harry's life. He wishes they could just have no-strings attached hate-sex already.
It's not like they COULDN'T. They've both hooked up with a good number of people before, so why not each other? Of course, he's not going to be the one to make the first move. That would be like crying uncle.
For his part, Justin thinks Harry's kind of weird. He's either acting like an irritating five year old, or like he's super cool because some people on the street recognize him from his dumb band. Whatever. He dislikes the slow way Harry talks, and his ridiculous mop of hair, and his thrift store clothes. He dislikes Harry's huge hands and he dislikes wanting those hands on his hips and in his hair. But more than anything, he's irritated by the way Harry is freakishly charming and nice to everyone but him. It' not fair.
Ugh. Justin wonders if having hate-sex with him at a party and then claiming he blacked out would help anything.
Probably not but he wants to try anyway.
ITS 2:30 AM
(Edited at 11:30 the next night)
(I feel like watching Justin and Harry try to get in a battle of wits would be the funniest thing ever. Not that they're not both smart or anything, but like...yeah. I think it'd be kind of funny.)
(i CAN'TTELL IF THIS IS OOC AAAARRRGH!)
