    Summary

    From the story:

    “It’s not that I don’t trust her, but you know how she is, Lou. Taylor’s so…”

    “Perfect?”

    “Exactly! She intimidates me a bit. I wouldn’t be this worked up if it were someone else. I’d probably be less nervous if it was a total stranger or, I don’t know… someone I knew wouldn’t judge me if I’m terrible at it.”

    Louis knew he shouldn’t laugh, but he couldn’t help a small chuckle from slipping out. “Sorry, sorry… but, H, aren’t you overthinking this a bit?”

    “I don’t know… I just want everything to be perfect…” Harry seemed to drift off, thinking, then turned back to Louis. “Lou?”

    “Yeah?”

    “You wouldn’t… No, forget it.”

    Louis raised an eyebrow, intrigued. “No, Harry, come on. What’s going on in that curly head of yours?”

    Harry flicked his cigarette to the ground, taking one last drag. “Would you… help me?”

    Oh.

    Or- Harry and Louis were best friends, but after a rather unusual request for help, their relationship—and their friendship—fell apart. They cross paths again five years later, with Louis now in the same band as Harry’s ex, Taylor, and a past to confront and a future to decide.
