A one shot where Harry is a C-list actor and get's a job with A-lister Louis.

"You got the part!" Harry let's out a long sigh of relief. He had been preparing for this part for months and had been waiting anxiously to get the news back since he auditioned. He knew he did pretty well when he went in, but this just confirmed it. Harry was going to be in, what the producers believe will be, the biggest show to hit television. 

"We need you immediately to sign some stuff and whatnot; you'll also be meeting our co-star!" 

"I'll be there!" Harry pronounces jollily. He stands and looks in the mirror. He couldn't go in looking like garbage. He fluffed his hair a little bit and straightened his shirt before grabbing his keys and heading out. 

When he got to the studio he was shocked. It was massive and unlike any other production he had ever been in before. People were running around like mad trying to do different things. It gave Harry a slight headache trying to keep up with it all. He was approached by a young boy with blond hair and a clipboard. 

"You're Harry right?" He asks, Harry nods, "Great, come with me." The boy turns and starts towards one of the buildings, leaving Harry to run after him. 

"Wait! I uh...didn't catch you're name!" Harry shouts as he follows after the, surprisingly quick, blond. They get to a door and he opens it, ushering Harry in before letting it close behind them. 

"Director Payne is just pass there. He should give you my number in case you need anything. I've already gotten with your PR person, so I've got all of your contacts. Uh...other than that you should be all set!" The blond chirps about to turn, but stops as he sees the confusion written across Harry's face. 

"This is your first major production, huh? Well, good luck, I'll uh...try to catch you up later. For now, just go through there and do what Payne wants, it shouldn't take long," He explains. Harry gives a small nod of his head before opening the door and seeing a few of the people from his audition huddled around a table and a large sheet of paper. 

"Ah! You must be Harry! The star of the hour! Come in, come in!" A man a couple years older than Harry comes out from the midst of people and smiles at Harry. 

"You must be Director Payne, it's a pleasure!" Harry says, outstretching his hand for Payne to shake it. Payne looks at and makes a sour face before turning his back on Harry and grabbing something from the table. 

"This is your contract for the show. You're promising at least 2 seasons, but after that if you want to say you'll sign a longer contract. All the information you should need is in it. Go home today and read it through and bring it back signed tomorrow! If you don't sign it, then we can't shoot, if we can't shoot we can't make a show, if we can't make a show then I get fired, and you don't want me to get fired! Niall will show you to your co-star. Make sure you're on good terms with him! We've had...trouble in the past, but I'm sure you'll do great, a little beauty like you," Payne slaps Harry's cheeks before continuing his ramble, "Just make sure you guys have your chemistry down. I don't want shooting to start and have you both be acting like strangers! What are you doing just standing there? I've got a show to make!" Payne shoos him out and Harry leaves, quite startled by the boy. 

When he exits he sees, who he assumes to believe is, Niall standing waiting for him. "We don't have all day! Come on!" Niall snaps, his tone a little apologetic as he shows Harry to the set. He sees the back of someone who looks way too familiar. 

"Uhm...Mr. Tomlinson, Harry is here to see you," Niall says. The boy turns and Harry's mouth falls. The boy's hair was feathery and fell across his forehead as if ever strand had been placed separately. His eyes sparkled a light blue and his scowl was very prominent.

"Your Harry Styles? Well. I don't think I need to introduce myself, Newbie," Harry takes a step closer and outstretches his hand for Louis to shake. 

"It's an honor to meet you Louis! You're my acting idol!" Harry rambles as he waits for Louis to take his hand. Louis glances down at him and frowns. 

"It's Tomlinson to you. I can't have you getting to unprofessional on me, C-lister, now can we? I don't know what you're waiting for, but if it's a handshake you may as well just save you the embarrassment and tuck that away; I don't want to get any of your C list on my hand." Louis rolls his eyes and turns to Niall who looked defeated. 

"I'm sorry...uh...Director Payne said that I...we have our chemistry down. I don't exactly know what that means, but yeah..." Harry awkwardly takes his hand back and gulps, waiting for the shorter boy's response.  

"Of course you don't know what that means. I'll have Niall give you my address. You'll meet me at my house at 8 and we'll practice together, Newbie. Don't get any ideas though, I can end your career in a snap," Louis hisses as he turns on his heels and leaves. Harry turns to Niall who shrugs. 

"He's like that, you get used to it after a while. I've worked 4 different productions with him and he treats anyone below an A like garbage. Here's his number. By the way, if I were you, I would try to stay on his good side," Niall suggests. Harry nods, putting Tomlinson's number in his phone before thanking Niall. 

"I can go home right?" 

"Yeah."

Harry gets to the drive way of Louis house. It was huge. Like literally huge, like bigger than a mall huge. Harry parks and steps out just as the door opens. Louis shimmies out of his house and raises an eyebrow at Harry as he awkwardly makes his way to the door. Louis allows him in, scolding him to take off his shoes before letting him step off the welcome mat. 

"Now, our characters are supposed to be best friends turn lovers. So, kiss me," Louis says once he leads Harry to a room deeper in the house. It was mostly empty except for a small couch and TV. He guessed it was where Louis practiced his lines judging from the numbers of different scripts hanging around here and there. 

Harry's mind snaps back to the situation and Louis' words. Kiss him? Harry had never kissed someone before, nevertheless a guy with over 5 million dollars in his bank account. He hesitantly takes a step towards Louis scared of what he would do. When Louis does nothing Harry takes it as a sign and places a hand on the other boy's hip. He feels awkward as he starts to lean in. 

"Jesus, C-lister, you have no idea how to act, huh?" Louis taunts as he leans in and kisses Harry's chin. Harry tenses and pulls back, wiping his chin as he stares at Louis. 

"Why did you kiss me chin if you're oh-so-experienced?" Harry questions. Louis rolls his eyes and crosses his arms. 

"You don't actually think that actors kiss do you? It's called an acting kiss. They teach that in like high school theater. Fucking shit, Newbie I thought you'd know at least that!" Louis sighs. Harry was sick and tired of Louis messing with him. He had to put the boy into his place so that he wouldn't continue like this for the next years they would end up working together. 

"Can you stop pestering me? At this point I know you're doing it on purpose just to get a rise out of me and well you've succeeded! I have a name and it's Harry, not C-lister or Newbie. Everyone has to start somewhere, Louis, and I'd highly appreciate it if you didn't act so high and mighty all the time!" Harry snaps, pushing Louis against the wall and getting in his face. Harry was shocked at his movements, but he didn't dare let his guard down. 

"There's the character that I need to see. Now think about what you're character would do, become him," Louis instructs. Harry thinks about it for a moment before bending down and pressing his lips against Louis. 

Harry moves his hand to Louis' waist and the other to the boy's neck. Louis stays frozen for a minute before tentatively moving his hands to Harry's face and resting them there. Harry kisses Louis harder, demanding for a reaction besides bewilderment. As soon as Louis starts kissing Harry back, Harry pulls away. 

"You actually kissed me," Louis gasps. Harry glares at him, clenching his jaw in anger. He was pissed at Louis for using Harry in a game. 

"I'm leaving," Harry announces, grabbing his phone and keys and starting out of the door. Louis grabs his shoulder and pulls him back. Harry's eyes narrow at him and Louis gulps not liking this side of Harry at all. He wanted Harry to be his toy not the other way around. 

"Who said you were leaving?" Louis snaps, crossing his arms over his chest. Harry blinks for a second, probably shocked that Louis spoke up. He didn't stay like that for long because before Louis knew it Harry was bending down so that his face was mere inches from Louis.

"I got the part for a reason, Louis. I can be just as intimidating as you are, probably more so. I'm more than qualified for this part, so next time you wanna call me Newbie keep this in mind," Harry whispers his voice even before standing and leaving.
