Harry and Nick playing Call or delete, where Harry refuses Nick's idea to ask their stylist to do something because Louis has let himself go. Instead he asks the stylist to get him some good pantyhose.

Thank you, lovely anon!! ♡

So, more context: They scroll through their contacts; the other says stop and whichever contact you land on, you either call them or delete them. Should be around 8:40 when Harry got Caroline (stylist) and Nick initially suggests "Does she style all of you? Why don't you call her up and be like 'Pfft, Louis' really let himself go" (meaning, he's stopped caring about his appearance/hasn't been looking good). Harry then answered (unamused) "I won't say that. NO."

PS: Caroline's laugh is so contagious LOL 😂

i heard something like that about him trying to goad Harry but I never understood. may you please explain what that was about? thank you v much.

It wasn’t a big thing, but in 2014 Harry was on Grimmy’s BBC1 radio show and played Call or Delete with him. It’s a game where you go through your phone and randomly have to either delete the person’s number or call them and make up a wild story without them knowing they’re on radio. 

Harry was up for it and laughed at all of it (even when Nick had to call someone and tell the person that he wanted her to tell Harry that Nick was into him). At some point Harry had to call Caroline Watson, 1D’s stylist at the time, and Nick suggested he say to Caroline that “Louis’ let himself go” and Harry got really serious and quietly just said "I can’t say that. No.”

You can hear the whole thing here. The bit with Caroline is at around 8:40

Grimmys call or delete with Harry and Sam was what saved me from becoming a larrie lol! When I entered the fandom, of course all you are met with is Larry but I was sucked in pretty deep right away so I was watching and listening to everything I could. So within the week I had listened to that grimmy clip and I was like well lol obviously Larry ain't real. Haha like grimmy wouldn't have even suggested that as a prank (telling Sam he had a crush on Harry) if Louis and Harry were really together.

GRIMMY SAVED YOU FROM THE GRIP OF THE LARRIES! 

All hail Nick Grimshaw :) :)

the parallels between that quote from the vogue article about harry wearing tights in a play as a kid and that part in his call or delete episode where he told his stylist about seeing something in a fashion magazine about men wearing tights and wanting to know if its true because he’s “been wearing tights for ages”

Speaking of Grimmy what I don't get is during call or delete that call to Sam is pretty hardcore proof against larry so how's it always ignored cause larries believe that Harry was with Louis but if that was true his close friends would obvi know and that prank call would have never worked Sam would know that Harry was with Louis and would've said hey Grimmy he has a bf and Harry prob would've never suggested to Grimmy to tell Sam he was in love with him if he was in a committed relationship

I never even thought about that, but you’re right - didn’t they say that Grimmy was in love with Harry but thought that Harry might have fallen for Sam or something? 

(I confess I never listened to the actual calls, just everything around them, because I’m physically incapable of listening to things like that - the 2nd hand embarrassment kills me and I always end up whacking off the volume, it’s like a physical reaction!)

Title: Call Or Delete

Author: lovemylarry / lovemylarry

Summary: Harry and Louis met in the toilet during the x-factor 2010. They spent the following days together and had a great time until Louis left and gave Harry his number. Harry liked Louis very much but never had the guts to call him. After he got through all auditions, Harry becomes a part of Simon Cowell's boyband 'One Direction'. From that moment on, Harry's life has changed completely. Two years later, he plays 'Call or Delete' with Nick Grimshaw on BBC 1 radio where he has to decide if he'd rather prank call Louis or delete his number. Harry doesn't want to delete the number so he calls him.
