Romance or bromance

By: A. Smith

Romance or bromance? One Directions Harry styles and Louis Tomlinson have had their names squished together to form Larry Stylinson and are being “shipped” by people of all ages. Many people are confused by the term ship (i have had to explain it a few times…) Shipping is actually very simple. It’s just the belief that two characters, Fiction or actual people, are together in a relationship. Most people don’t really take shipping seriously though. They just look at cute pictures and reblog stuff on Tumblr. So what exactly is so different about Harry and Louis? Most people say it’s the astounding amount of proof. others say they can tell just by how they look at each other.

what is this “astounding amount of proof?” you ask. well lats start at the beginning. When Louis and Harry auditioned for the XFactor in 2010 they had no idea who the other was, and then suddenly they were ina band together (though we find out later they hat met each other before, in the toilets) The first time they performed as a group Louis and Harry would not leave each others sides. You could instantly tell they were really close.

Their relationship just went on from there. Always sitting together, joking around more than the others, hugging, holding hands, ext. Everyone seemed to be thinking the same thing; how cute they were. Most people didn’t think twice about it except for the occasional few. Then the tweets started. The two had many cute tweets throughout that year, but a few stood out. Such as the last tweet Louis ever sent to Harry. “Always in my heart @HarryStyles. yours sincerely, Louis.” Now why would Louis have a reason to send that tweet to Harry? They live together, and see each other every day? Oh and i’m sure this had nothing to do with Louis and his “girlfriend” going public. Absolutely nothing at all.

Now Louis girlfriend Eleanor Calder, student at the University of Manchester, has been quite a big deal in the Larry fandom. There are a lot of reasons for this, but we will only talk about the big ones. Louis and Eleanors relationship is so publicised. There are high quality pictures of them all over, and most of the time we can’t even get those of the boys. There are pictures of them in countries where the paparazi can’t come take pictures of famous people without having been called in! Why do they need to try so hard to convince people of a relationship if they know it’s real. Why does that matter?

Second of all Louis had no idea when there aniversary is or even when her birthday is, and they have been “dating” for two years! How can you be with someone and be totally in love if you don’t even know their birthday. Louis and Eleanor are barely ever together, while the other boys that are taken will go through extream lengths to see their girlfriends. Why not Louis? They get their pictures taken together then she goes her seperate way.

One Directions management, MODEST! management, have heard about this conspiracy, and are trying to put a stop to it. Louis and Harry are no longer aloud to sit next to each other during interviews, walking together in public , or doing anything that could “add fuel to the fire.” Their are other ships within the band, like Zayn and Liam, Niall and Louis, Harry and Zayn, and so many other ones. So why does MODEST! feel the need to seperate only Louis and Harry. Are they trying to hide something?

Louis and Harry have also had their pictures taken where it looks like they are kissing, and their are also MANY edits that show they are not Photoshopped. Why would two best friends be KISSING?! Do you all do that with your best friends? I sure don’t.

I believe that Louis and Harry are together in a relationship because of many reasons as you can see, but to me the most convincing is how they look at each other (look that up if you want to  die of cuteness.) They look at each other like they are the only two people on the face of the earth, and they are so happy they can be together. It is also really sad because MODEST! is forcing them apart, and that is not right, and they have both been looking sad lately. i wonder why that is.

Why haven’t Louis and Harry come out yet then? For many reasons actually, because they are at the peak of their career and when they come out they will lose the fans that only like them because they think they have a chance, and why would they want to risk their success and that of the other three members? Studies show that Louis and Harry will probably come out in 2016 when their contract ends, and many people are awaiting this joyous day.
