Summary
A little over a week later, Louis was on his laptop paying a few invoices when he came across an email in the shop’s inbox.
Good afternoon,
I don’t know if you remember me, but I was in your shop a week ago to purchase some pastels. We talked about cherry blossoms and you suggested I go to the Parc De Sceaux. It was just as beautiful as you said it would be. While I was painting, I was thinking about your shop. I don’t mean to be untoward, but are you looking for any summer help? I finish my exams in a couple of weeks and it would interest me greatly to assist and learn your craft.
Thank you for your consideration.
Best,
Harry StylesOr the summer before his last year of art school, Harry secures a job working for Louis, a reclusive pastel maker. He doesn't expect that his planned summer of Parisian debauchery will blossom into something much more.

Summary
From the story:
“So? What’s up? Upset I cockblocked you?”
For a heartbeat, his blue eyes are so sharp Harry can barely breathe. Louis stares straight into him and Harry is unable to look away. “No, it’s not that. But when are you going to realize that I live here too?” Louis exhales slowly, flicking ash with a precise motion.
“Oh, I know you live here.”
“Doesn’t feel like it. And you know what pisses me off the most? You walk around like you’ve got a stick up your arse. No matter what I do, you have that superior attitude, drives me absolutely mental.”
Harry lets out a humorless laugh, stepping just a little closer. “Ever wonder why? Your manners are awful, Tomlinson. Anything I say, you do exactly—” Louis’ lips curl, a smirk tugging at the corner as he tilts his head, smoke trailing up. “The opposite… YOU DO IT ON PURPOSE.”
“Ding ding ding, princess.”
Or (prompt 263): Louis and Harry can’t stand each other and argue every time they’re in the same room (which happens far too often since they are roommates). Then Louis starts dating someone and brings her everywhere. Harry tags along because they have the same group of friends... until he realises he’s jealous.

Summary
“I don’t know! I panicked,” Harry mustered, crossing his arms indignantly. “You saw him, right? I’m not the only one who saw him, am I?”
“Louis. Louis Tomlinson? Louis Tomlinson is your type?” Niall looked like he’d remembered something. “I’ve seen the guys you’ve gone on dates with. Louis is not your type. He can’t be!”
Harry couldn’t help being defensive,“So what? Maybe I don’t have a type, maybe I just…” He faltered for half a second before pushing on, “I’m not even interested, okay? It was one stupid interaction, I’m not sitting here planning a bloody wedding. He was just hot and I panicked.”
