Be My Valentine - 3

It Was Always You

(G) 700 words

Louis Tomlinson x Harry Styles

But standing here, in the urinals, of all places, Louis would have put his hand on a DVD of Grease and sworn to it. 

He was in love.

Louis falls in love at first sight

No Warnings!

A/N: This one’s just a silly little ficlet. Based of course on the Oops, Hi! Headcannon. As always, thank you to Akeyla for this fest and prompts!

Title from Louis’ ‘Always You’

Louis had known he would make it. It wasn’t anything specific that made him think that. Hell, he hadn’t even seen the boy’s face properly. But there was something about the curly mop of hair, the way he held himself at a slight angle, the voice floating across the crowd as he talked to one of the producers that made Louis feel sure of it.

He hadn’t been able to look at him for long, all the people he had come with quickly surrounded him, and besides, he had to warm up for his own audition. But had anyone asked him, he would have denied it. He would have blatantly denied having spent the whole day with his eyes trained on the waves of people passing through the door, hoping for a glimpse of the brown haired boy, whom he’d started referring to as ‘Curly’ in his head already.

And again, if he had spent any amount of time in fantasies revolving around how Curly would react if he called him that, about what he would look like… in some other scenarios, he had the full right to refuse and keep it to himself.

But standing here, in the urinals, of all places, Louis would have put his hand on a DVD of Grease and sworn to it. 

He was in love.

Yes, he was aware they hadn’t yet shared a single word, except for the awkward encounter in said urinals he didn’t want to elaborate on, but his mind was made up anyways.

“Hi,” he whispered as he stepped towards the row of sinks, voice wavering a little nervously as he turned the tap on, catching the boy’s eye in the mirror. “I’m Louis,” he smiled, trying not to stare when he saw how green the boy’s eyes were, “Tomlinson,” he added quickly.

“Harry Styles,” the boy smiled back, and Louis had the insane feeling that this was the only name he’d ever want to say for the rest of his life. It was always going to be him. He shook the thought away quickly, hoping Harry didn’t notice the colour creeping up his cheeks. 

They’d struck up an easy conversation, talking about what song they’d picked and how their auditions had gone. They had both gotten through to the bootcamp, and Harry was currently on a roll, drawling on about how he would miss a week of school for it. Louis wasn’t quite sure what the point of it all was, but he was perfectly content. He would gladly have stood there for hours, just listening to his slow, rambling voice. 

They’d stood facing each other a bit awkwardly at the end of the day, families waiting for them outside. 

“I wouldn’t worry about it if I was you,” Louis blurted out, “I mean, if anyone’s going to make it, it’s going to be you,” Sure, they were supposed to be competing with each other, but the funny thing was, he meant it. There could be no other name better suited to being in front of the masses, could there?

Louis found himself staring at his dimples, having physically stopped himself from gasping when Harry’s face split into a wide grin. Harry mumbled something back, flushing to the tip of his ears. He gave him an awkward little wave as he walked backward, the promise of seeing him the next day all that registered with Louis’ muddled brain.

He smiled to himself, unable to wait for tomorrow to come as he strode towards his family. He was truly, madly, deeply in love.

(Also Zouis swapped places from the first take, the one where Louis jumped in Harry’s arms, that wasn’t in the TV broadcast:)

Hi tumblr directioners,

So idk if anyone will see this but I want to share my personal experience as a directioner in the wake of losing Liam Payne.

I’ll be honest, I wasn’t a die-hard fan the whole time the band was together, but I was IN IT my freshman and sophomore years of high school.

It was 2011-2013, I was a teenage girl going through some tough stuff at home. And by “some stuff” I meant my dad was dying of brain cancer, and we moved to a new state where I didn’t know anyone. My dad passed away end of summer before my freshman year. I missed the first 2 weeks of school, got unenrolled, had to re-enroll, then got put on the counselor’s list of people to keep an eye on.

Of course I was depressed and antisocial and anxiety ridden starting at a new school. I moved from VA to TX and the culture shock was real I can’t lie. Then I heard some girls in my freshman English class talking about one direction. I had heard of the band but never really gave them any attention.

I remember going home that day and memorizing all the words to the Up All Night album in my living room. I remember making lyric art with the *skinny* crayola markers, and dedicating every tumblr post to 1D so that I could make friends and not feel like such an outsider. I remember having a common interest with other girls that made us feel like a community.

Then twitter got big and the #bring1Dtome challenge happened iykyk. (It was a really big deal okay) we stayed up all night and competed in a series of challenges with other directioners across the country. Long story short #bring1DtoDallas won the contest.

The only way to get into the private album signing before the concert (a prize of the contest and one directions first American performance) was to buy an album from the Barnes and Noble store in the mall. If you were the first 150? (Idk the number) of people in line then you’d be given a free poster and a WRIST BAND to get into the concert at the then named, Dr Pepper Ballpark, along with your collectors edition album.

So, naturally me and my 3 new (and only) friends piled into my 17 yr old older sister’s hand-me-down Yukon XL and slept at the mall the night before. (Duh). We blasted Up All Night songs with other directioners until after midnight and didn’t sleep at all because we were soooo excited.

Then morning came, people started lining up at 3am, news crews were there, mall security was there it was a big thing, this was at the Stonebriar mall in Frisco Tx for any of my older fans who know what I’m talking about.

So the doors aren’t going to open until 7am, mall opens at like 6am (don’t quote me on these times I’m guesstimating). 5:30 rolls around and we take a lap to assess if we can even get a spot in line… for those of you who don’t know— stonebriar is a two floor mall and the Barnes and noble has two entrances one on each floor, it’s one of the first stores near the parking garage entrance.

5:45am-The line is wrapped around the side of the mall at the bottom level. My friends and I start to lose hope of getting these wrist bands.

5:57am- our spot in line is shit my older sister realizes we’re disappointed and she says she “didn’t sleep in the car for no reason. You’re getting those wrist bands, follow me”.

5:59am: My friends and I haul ass to the second floor entrance and my sister says “when they open the door walk in, go down the escalator, sit in line and act like you were there the whole time.” And we did.

We got our wristbands and albums. We were on the news (in the background of someone else’s interview lol) and we started the countdown for the concert.

Let me add some additional context. I was a 14 year old girl who’s dad just died, who lived with a depressed mom, an unmedicated schizophrenic oldest sister who had just had a baby (so my niece, who was born 3 days before my dad died), a bipolar 17yr old older sister who had anger issues, and two younger siblings in elementary school that i’m trying to shelter. The living environment wasn’t great to say the least, cops were called multiple times (by me). No charges were pressed.

My dad was diagnosed with stage 3 brain cancer when I was starting 8th grade, it was aggressive, treatments were expensive, our house in VA was foreclosed, my mom moved us to TX bc she had distant family there and available family grave plots, his cancer progressed and he passed away in August 2011.

We moved to TX in May 2011 at the end of my 8th grade year. Beginning of Summer before freshman year my mom moved my dad into hospice care. We would go to visit every other day and take turns feeding him and telling stories and it was heavy and sad. He passed away 2 days before school started.

One direction was the only thing I had to escape and bring any sense of joy in such a heartbreaking time. They brought me so much comfort, they brought me friends, they brought me a sense of being a normal teenage girl who’s dad didn’t have cancer, who’s sisters weren’t attacking each other, and who’s mom wasn’t threatening to 0ff herself.

So anyways, we got albums signed before the concert. it was very quick not like a meet and greet, they were all sitting in a row at a table, we walked through in a line and spoke to them all I was so excited I forgot to record on my camera, everyone was sweating bc it was 105 degrees outside, best day ever!! they were even cuter in person.

I just want to thank every Directioner who ever made me feel less alone as a struggling 14 year old. And I want to say that if you’re grieving Liam or one direction you’re not alone, I’m there with you. They were my safe space and loving them was…is a personality trait.

Anyways I stored those albums in a closet my junior year, then went through a house fire where everything got smoke damaged. We moved like 6 times that year. It was rough.

idk why I haven’t cleaned the albums but that’s what it is, and it’s a sobering reminder of the fact that I was going through so much but these boys were always there for me. I’ll clean them soon.

I’ll never be a boy-band obsessed teenager again, and I’m thankful to those boys for giving me happy memories during that time of my life.

If you read all that thank you and I love you 💓

Classic X-Factor fun by Peter David and Larry Stoman!

That alarrytale blog goes into another dimension of obsession and delusion. She goes on and on about unbreakable contracts reaching into infinity, without ever pausing to think what a contract is. A contract is only of any use to either side if there are consequences in law if it is broken without agreement.

Does she honestly think a large corporation could take someone to court on the basis that ‘ We want these gay people to appear straight and will thwart their careers if they admit to not being straight or to being in a relationship with each other. ‘ You can’t legally enforce a contract that is against the law, that is a nonsense. Presumably these early yet lingering ‘ contracts’ that she is so sure of were written in the UK - under the UK Equality Act 2010 you cannot discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation including heterosexuality . Can’t see it flying in the US system either.

Business and employment contacts can include behaviour clauses, such as those causing the company to be brought into disrepute, but these are for gross misconduct, illegal acts, extreme behaviour safety and safeguarding, inability or reluctance to perform.

There are certainly going to be expectations from management that performers abide by in their early days and then chafe against and that is what causes a lot of band breakups or change of management - but the idea that very wealthy adult men are still under some extreme micro control about their personal life is bizarre. Maybe she is getting mixed up with the very different subject of recording and music publishing rights.

And the babygate nonsense about a corporation knowingly planning and involving a child in some kind of paternity fraud - as if the corporate lawyers would let even a sniff of that pass.

100%. All corporate contracts are run past lawyers and anything to do with suppression of sexuality would be thrown out.
