Summary: “Well if it isn’t our resident theoretical chemist Mr. Harry Styles. How is life in the world of the very insignificant and unknowable?”
Harry’s face twitches uncomfortably.
“Hiii Louis. Very good, thanks for asking. How’s everything in the world of…bad-smelling and…erm…explosives?” Harry responds with a smile that is perhaps a touch too bright.
“Thrilling as always. I must say Harold, I am surprised to see you haven’t caught on fire in the sunlight. I thought your kind preferred existing exclusively under fluorescent lighting?”
Harry smiles cooly, up for the challenge. “I bought special sunscreen just for the occasion. And for the thousandth time, my name is not Harold.”
Or; A Science AU where Harry is a physical chemist, Louis is an organic chemist, graduate student life is hard, and solutions to all of life’s problems come from unexpected places.
