Ok they sat next to each other and hugged each other but look at this. The height difference is real. Louis bearly reaches Harry’s chin. He’d have to step on his tip toes to kiss his chin.
@Louis1DUpdates Never question Louis’ love for us, and never question our love for him.

I’m hoping this doesn’t get swallowed – was quite a long ask, like 10 parts lol. But instead, I’ll make the story a little shorter this time. I grew up listening to Indie Rock music mainly, and not really being into the mainstream pop/RnB (but overtime I began to listen to so many genres). I’m from England so of course followed the XF and like anyone knew who exactly 1D were. Anyway, admitting that you like them is akin to social suicide in my clique, with the sort of music influence I had from elders. To them, they are money manufactured tweens who don’t really write their own music, no real instruments played by any of them, so they aren’t musicians. Only of late (Like maybe five months?) have I started following them- and that was because of H/L. I don’t know how I came across the 46 times Buzz feed article (and instantly after seeing it thought, that’s not platonic) lo and behold I was fascinated into this so called ‘conspiracy’ that these two are actually in a relationship. And now that I’m invested in them, I feel like I’m an A* Tumblr lurker and can only fan girl by myself. (Can’t really mention this to friends as I said). Tumblr is the perfect platform I think to share different aspects of what you love with people who share that same love.
Anyway, back to how I didn’t follow them until a few months ago. I’m a footballer (fun fact) and another fun fact, our team was to play against a Rotherham women’s side in February 2014. So, our coach (much to our delight) told us he had a surprise in store for us. We were psyched, wondering what it was. He told us, the Rotherham women’s side had arranged for us to train with the Rotherham/Doncaster players prior to kick off. Part of a scheme that is breaking barriers between genders in football. Of course, we were ecstatic - we were to train (even if it was a short while) with professional footballers in League One. No way were we expecting it.
And then boss thought he’d mention that a certain Louis Tomlinson from 1D was debuting for those who were interested. I remember, everyone being so nonchalant, pretending they are cooler than that when inside they were squealing that they were going to train with him lol). So, of course I knew who he was, and thought he was good looking. But that was it. Training day arrived. A few of us in groups doing drills with the players. We were rotating with all the different players, every 10/12 minutes. So anyway, he was great, really into it, hyped for the match when I asked him how he was feeling- he said ‘I can’t quite put my finger on how I’m feeling, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous, I sold burgers for my home club and now I’m playing for them, it’s crazy’. At one point, we were doing defensive drills, I said to him ‘I do a mean slide tackle’ and he said in his taking the piss loud high pitched tone ‘Hahaha, slide tackle, your legs will break!’, to which I replied ‘Mate, they look stronger than yours’ and he went ‘Ooooo, 1-0 to you!’. What I really notice in that particular exchange was now that I reflect, is his humour is not always appreciated but if you are on a level and banter with him, he’s so easy going and you know he’s just kidding and
being playful. One of my friends said to him ‘Where are your four cheerleaders’ and he burst out laughing.
On a serious note in the conversation when the coaches were speaking of the scheme, I was stood near him and he said- “you know I was kidding with you before, I do admit I held a stereotypical of women and sport when I was a teenager, but seeing your team out there playing so professionally speaks volumes. Always keep at it, you’re going to be brilliant’. I smiled at him and said ‘Thank you, it means a lot. It’s amazing how you can forget everything and pour yourself into something you love. You feel limitless’. And I’m mentioning this particular exchange because of what he replied to this. I feel now that I reflect on it, he was speaking of the closeting. I was so surprised he let his guard down now that I’ve come to see posts on how much he’s held back after being closeted. He said “Your right, sometimes I feel like I can’t express who I really am, I guard myself but with footy, I feel like I have the power to just forget any constraints. I can just be free and that feels limitless like you said”. Wow. I feel like I wanted to mention this to people because I’ve come to love this guy a little bit and hate to see him berated. It’s not proof of anything, it’s not evidence, it’s just an account that shows Louis Tomlinson and what’s beneath this bullshit image built of him.
Do I wish I see him again? Yes in certain respects, but in other respects no. I met him not knowing anything and now I do. I feel like since I’ve come to know of H/L and the Bullshit BTS with their team, if I saw him and we had a chat (If he remembered me), I’d end up saying something! (Not in an ‘Is Larry real?’ way, in a more, how do you put up with them fuckers (MGMT).
So yeah, I hope that wasn’t too long a read, sorry if you fell asleep lol. But here I am, kind of hoping Tumblr is the platform where I can discuss things H/L. You all seem lovely. I am not ashamed to admit that I like One Direction. In fact I purchased FOUR the full album on my ITunes. Jesus, if my brother sees that, I’m dead.submitted by anyahl
