Harry came out as bi in middle school. He got made fun of but he got through it thanks to his supportive mum and sister. He also had a boyfriend for a while but they broke up on good terms.
Harry paid no mind to his sexuality once he entered high school. He put it aside saying "who cares?" when he was asked about it. He didn't have any labels. He had both girlfriends and boyfriends.
However, if there was one thing that everyone knew, it was that Harry had a huge crush on Louis Tomlinson. Everyone made fun if him for that, but Harry shrugged it off. He knew that Louis wouldn't make fun of him for his mini - or massive - crush on him, and that's what kept him going.
Everyone at school kept telling Harry to drop his crush, that Louis was straight and had a girlfriend named Eleanor Calder. However, Harry had been looking at every single little hint that Louis dropped that signaled that he is in fact in the closet.
Harry had realized that Louis never really engaged in PDA with Eleanor like most celebrities did. And when he did, it was usually the casual arm touch and the arm around her. They rarely hug. They don't kiss. They don't make out. They don't even hold hands properly.
But when Louis is with his friends, he seems more happy than when he's with Eleanor. He literally acts all friendly with them. He hugs them. He's not afraid to carry or be carried by them. He acts more comfortable around them than he does with Eleanor. Weird, right?
Imagine if you're dating someone but you're more happy around your friends than around them. Almost like you're dating your friends instead, right?
Harry was always more happy with his lovers than his friends. Maybe that was just him, but oh well. He was one hundred percent sure that Eleanor was a beard and that Louis was in the closet.
His friends called him crazy when Harry told them his theories. They said that he shouldn't trust the internet and that Louis was straight. But wasn't the "I am in fact straight" tweet on the internet? Then with that mindset Harry would be able to prove that he shouldn't trust that tweet and that Louis was probably not straight.
Harry used to say back in elementary school that he was straight and he would marry a girl. Now he wasn't so sure. It's been three years since the "I am in fact straight" tweet. Maybe Louis realized that he wasn't straight? Maybe he's gay? Bi? Pan? Unlabeled like Harry at the moment? Who knows.
But one thing was certain: Louis Tomlinson was in the closet, and Harry was determined to kick the door open and let Louis out from his hiding place.
He wanted Louis. He always has, since he was eleven. And this time, he would get what he wanted.
