American AU where the boys all work for their college newspaper. Louis gets to voice his opinion in every issue, Liam is in charge, keeping everyone in line, Niall just really loves soccer, Zayn is an aspiring photographer and Harry is the incoming photo editor.
(Or, the one where Louis wants to date Harry, but won't, because they work together, even though the other boys follow no such rule.)

Louis turned and looked Harry in the eye. “I told Niall that even though he wanted to date Josh, his co-worker, it just wasn't going to work out. And that was OK, because there's plenty of other people out there for him.”
Please take the hint. Please.
It looked like Harry did, because he simply nodded before breaking the gaze.
