Hiii hope you are having an amazing day! I don’t know if you still do recs but I was looking for something similar to but he can’t be what you need (if he’s eighteen) by lingerielarries on ao3 ? Punk! Protective! Louis? innocent! Harry?
Hi! I do do recs every time someone asks haha.
Punk Louis is one of my favorite things! Let's see what I can find from my bookmarks. As always, read the tags of every work before you proceed. Lots of these include flowerchild Harry, more or less innocent but I'll mention it if he's really not innocent.
First off, for anyoneone who's interested,
But he can't be what you need (when you're eighteen) by lingerielarries, rated E, 10K

Beautiful (like the flowers in your hair) by doldrums, T, 8K

Because we can by KrisStylinson, M, 25K
Harry's the bizzare new kid who likes flowers too much, Louis' the epitome of punk who's not as smooth as he seems. Those two things shouldn't mix as beautifully as they do.

Way to your heart by fallenflowercrowns, M, 11K
High school AU, where Louis is in a band and Harry likes to come to the rehearshals for no particular reason. Punk Louis with a lot of tattoos and everything. Shy Harry with an angel face and not many friends.
If you could see him like I do by geralt_of_rivia, T, 7K
The gossip came from everyone. But the people who talked didn't know Louis like Harry knew Louis. People saw Louis as dangerous, rebellious. And in a way, Louis was those things. But not towards Harry. Never towards Harry.
The First Year by parmahamlarrie, E, 46K
When Louis Tomlinson was assigned a first year student to be his roommate for his final year at the University of Manchester, his expectations were low. All he needed was a cheap place to sleep and keep his stuff amidst his nights out, willing his brain to forget his past. He never expected Harry Styles to become his eclectic, sweet, and cuddly best friend. That was never the plan.

the one in which Louis falls in love with a fragile boy and tells him every beautiful truth in the world, as long as it makes him happy.
Underneath It All by etoilenoire E, 394K
