Why this must be read:

As may be obvious by now I'm a sucker for music AU's, all self-indulgent music talk, and fic with music as a secondary character -- especially gritty punk rock ones where Harry being a bit of a slag fucks with Louis' head. Boys making poor choices FTW!

after the first bottle and half of the second, harry picks up louis’ guitar and plays it in that careful way he always does because he’s still not confident with instruments. it’s a song he wrote a year ago about someone he was fucking or wanted to fuck, louis never asked. it’s not explicit, but it doesn’t have to be with harry’s voice and the way his mouth moves around the lyrics. louis is not drunk enough to listen to this song in the quiet of their apartment at midnight, so he picks up the cigarettes and shakes the pack in harry’s direction.

“you hate this song,” is harry’s response. “why?”
