🏒 I’m falling… defenceless. 🥅 A larry SMAU Harry S tyles has never watched a hockey game in his entire life… so, how exactly did he end up here? Now he’s leaving his job, his family, his best friend Liam, and his ex-boyfriend behind in his quiet hometown for a new start in the chaos of London to work as a paramedic for a British hockey team he’s never even heard of… On the other side of the rink is Louis T omlinson, star player for the Paddington Penguins and one of the biggest names in the British Hockey League (BHL). On the rink, he’s sharp, fast, and skilled. Off the ice, he’s more famous for his personality and lifestyle… openly gay, endlessly charming, and a master of sass. Rumour has it he’s a bit flirtatious as well with one too many one-night stands to his name.  In professional sports, where fans can also be haters, Louis uses his big personality to pretend their words don’t hurt. However, they cut deeper than he’d ever care to admit. Deep down, he’s insecure with a scarred heart and doesn’t feel like anyone could ever love him the way he is. He’s not even sure he’s capable of love anyway, when he doesn’t even love himself. He has learned to live with the hate and his self-doubt by covering it with a smile, trying his best to protect his damaged soul. He really should be thankful he has made it this far. The hurt and insecurity is all worth it though when he sees the messages of young people telling him that he helped them through their coming out and makes their lives easier.  All Harry wants when he leaves his old life behind in Holmes Chapel is peace. He just wants to run away and make a clean start. He knows his life is going to be very different now and hopes the hustle and bustle of London will help ease the pain of his past. What he most certainly does not want is a cheeky hockey player with a smug grin who is far too full of himself. He definitely doesn’t want Louis’ constant flirting, his effortless confidence, or the way he seems determined to break down every wall Harry has carefully built. He might actually turn into the reason why Harry is finally able to laugh again though… and maybe Harry will be the only person who is able to see Louis for who he really is. The real Louis. Just maybe they can help each other become the best versions of themselves…. all the while falling… and becoming defenceless… because what the universe wants, it gets. No matter how much they try to fight it.  ❤️‍🩹
