niallhoran:

harrystyles:
YEAH OH SHIT

harrystyles:
i fucking hate you

niallhoran:
first of all, no you don’t. no matter how hard you try, you could never hate me

niallhoran:
second of all, how did you find out?

harrystyles:
I RAN INTO HIM

harrystyles:
IN THE FUCKING BATHROOM

niallhoran:
sorry, i had to leave the room to laugh

niallhoran:
of all places you could have run into him, you chose the bathroom😭

harrystyles:
this isn’t a fucking laughing matter, niall

harrystyles:
i did not CHOOSE to run into him

harrystyles:
didn’t want to run into him at all

harrystyles:
my life is OVER

niallhoran:
you really need to stop over exaggerating and overthinking shit

niallhoran:
your life is Not over

niallhoran:
your life has only just begun

harrystyles:
NIALL HE DIDNT KNOW WHO I WAS

niallhoran:
what

harrystyles:
HE DIDNT KNOW WHO I WAS

niallhoran:
that doesn’t make sense

niallhoran:
how did he not know who you are?

harrystyles:
i got to the bathroom and pushed open the door, not knowing that someone was pulling open the door at the same time. so me pushing on it made that person pull it open way faster than intended, and when i figured that out i went to apologize

harrystyles:
but then i saw who it was

harrystyles:
and it was louis

harrystyles:
i was silent and probably looked like an idiot, but he looked me right in the face and there was no recognition in his face at all

harrystyles:
he asked if he knew me

harrystyles:
asked if we had met before

harrystyles:
all i did was tell him no, apologize for the door incident, and then went around him and into one of the stalls

niallhoran:
YOU TOMD HIM THAT YOU DIDNT KNWIBHIM?????

niallhoran:
HWY DID YOU DO THAT

harrystyles:
I DIDNT

harrystyles:
he asked me if HE knew ME

harrystyles:
based off that question alone, it was clear that he does not remember me

harrystyles:
so NO, he does not know me at all

niallhoran:
jesus, harry. i’m so sorry

harrystyles:
disappointed, but not surprised

harrystyles:
of course he doesn’t remember me😀

harrystyles:
i’ll get over it

harrystyles:
(hopefully)😭

harrystyles:
anyway, this photography job

harrystyles:
what is it

niallhoran:
louis needs a photographer for his latin america leg and possibly for the festivals he has planned over the summer

harrystyles:
why couldn’t you just tell me this

niallhoran:
because i knew you would have said no

niallhoran:
and we wouldn’t be here right now

harrystyles:
so you lied about the tickets then?

niallhoran:
in a way

niallhoran:
i’ll remind you that louis is a really good friend of mine, and i reached out to him after word went around that his previous photographer left without notice or reason

niallhoran:
i told him one of my friends was really good at photography and took screenshots of your photography account and sent them to him

niallhoran:
louis offered to pay for our flight over

niallhoran:
he guaranteed me that if he didn’t think you were fit for the job, you’d still be able to see him at his panama city show

niallhoran:
and so a meeting was set up on 28 april at 13:00

niallhoran:
now you just get to see him in more than just panama city

niallhoran:
and you told me that, as the captain of this ship, i should go down with it

niallhoran:
you asked for this

harrystyles:
[replying to “you asked for this”]
if i would have known this is what you got out of me telling you to go down as captain of the larry ship, i would have never said it to begin with

niallhoran:
YOU REMEMBERED THE SHIP NAME

harrystyles:
of course i do?? i’m literally apart of that
ship????

niallhoran:
YOU SAID YOU DIDNT INVOLVE YOURSELF WITH THAT SHIT

niallhoran:
YOU LIAR
harrystyles reacted to this message with 🙄

harrystyles:
i really do hate you

niallhoran:
stop saying that

niallhoran:
louis is here, in the room

niallhoran:
he came in and greeted me with a hug, said it was good to see me, but looked completely unfazed

niallhoran:
i would have never known you two ran into each other

niallhoran:
but i need you to come back so we can go over this

harrystyles:
i’ll correct myself, i hate HIM

niallhoran:
harry please

niallhoran:
you don’t even have to look at him if you don’t want to

niallhoran:
just sit next to me and only look at me if you need to

niallhoran:
the only time you have to talk is if someone directs a question towards you, but given on how many praises i’ve heard from them in the past ten minutes, i don’t think they’ll have any questions

niallhoran:
they love your work, harry

niallhoran:
louis loves your work

niallhoran:
please come back to the room

harrystyles:
fine

harrystyles:
i’m not saying shit. i don’t even know if i should agree to this

niallhoran:
hear louis and his team out. i think this is the photography opportunity you’ve been waiting for. you want this, harry, i promise you that

harrystyles:
you fucking owe me

niallhoran:
and i fucking love you

harrystyles:
i know you do
