“I haven’t been on a date in two years.”
“What?” Harry turns to him in surprise.
Louis’ face has flushed with color. “Didn’t mean to say that. I just—“ Louis rubs his hand across the back of his neck nervously. “Not since my boyfriend broke up with me. And I’ve just been busy and—Jesus, your eyes can pop back in your head now. I know ‘construction worker’ doesn’t exactly fit a gay stereotype but—“
“I’m gay, too!” Harry blurts out before clapping a hand over his mouth.
“Yeah, I caught on, Curly. Straight dudes don’t look at me like you do.”

Harry Styles has a great job working for his brother-in-law’s construction company. He has just one small problem. His concrete sub-contractor just quit, and he needs a foundation built as soon as possible. One fateful turn brings him exactly what he’s been looking for—an experienced concrete construction company that happens to be owned by the most beautiful man he’s ever laid eyes upon.
Guys. GUYS ! So remember how last week’s fic was part of a challenge ? This one was published for the first edition and it’s awesome, and I loved it so much I read it twice. That never happens, unless I loved the fic so much it becomes a comfort read.
Take a good dose of awkward yet super hot, long haired Harry, add sweaty construction worker Louis (the author killed me there okay, I’m never going to be over this), mix with sexual tension, mutual pining, a complete bro gang (Ed Sheeran, my son Niall, Liam, James Corden) and sprinkle with humour and here you go ! 6K of perfection.
I really liked Louis characterization, how he’s depicted as someone who puts his (extended) family first and how talented and meticulous he is with his work. Also, awkward but smoking hot Harry is always a yes.
Go read this piece ! And check the author’s AO3, so many good fics in there ! I mean You’re the light, I’ll be there and Staring across the room are so so so so amazing And Sound like a song is one of my favourite fics of all time. I said OF ALL TIME.
