Larry Stylinson, best friends? lovers? delusion? From matching tattoos, sharing an apartment, quaint symbolism neither party has shown any capability of actually 'pulling-off,' the two men have been the center of a promiscuous conspiracy theory for the better part of the decade. Were they actually in-love? Or, did obsessed fans over-analyze the dynamic between the two singers?

I, personally, have been looking into this since I was very young; the early days of One Direction. If you asked me a few years ago I would believe this to be a hundred percent true due to my personal research of interviews, videos, etc. But in more recent years, I would say it is not true or the relationship has ended. Louis said due to these allegations him and Harry have since drifted apart.

@abbykubatzke nice to hear your personal view on this, since you have an interest in the topic and some knowledge on it. And the www.j-14.com piece is a good find.

I have always been a BIG 1D fan. And have thought about this. Honestly I could believe this to being true as well, but there are a lot of fan based allegations. I found an article about how their relation ship is becoming stronger as well.
