Because Louis and Harry seemed to enjoy a soulmate connection from the beginning of their X Factor appearances, inexplicably drawn to each other within what often seemed like an invisible magnetic force field, fans couldn't help but notice their special relationship once the show began.

The chemistry, in fact, was so off the charts that speculation persists to this day about whether they might have met prior to Bootcamp and that Oops! and Hi! bathroom encounter on July 21, 2010

[Gee, Narnia wonders why Harry smiles and gently nudges Louis' arm when the interviewer points out that Louis is the only one "taken". Inside joke, perhaps. 😉]
Given there was even a hint of speculation about Louis and Harry's instantaneous chemistry, only goes to underscore just how turbocharged their interactions were from the start. Naturally drawn into each other's orbit. Happy just to be sharing the same space. Proud to let everyone know that they were spending unlimited amounts of time together. Inseparable. All the while complemented by lots and lots of flirting, touching, prolonged gazes, giggles and laughter. Their constant proximity to one another only intensified by the seemingly unending physical contact. Cuddles, hand holding, hugs, pats, head nuzzling, pulling each other closer, etc.
One time is alright
Two times is one too many
One, two, three times you're on me and suddenly
Ready, steady, go

How telling that Louis never responded to Emma's question
Note that their first twitcam was not with all the members of One Direction, but rather with each other.
about that Follow from Harry. Instead he used her question as an
opportunity to let her know that Harry was sitting beside him.
Matching Louis' enthusiasm, but a bit more subtle, Harry was the social media chatterbox, a few weeks earlier in the month, posting several song lyrics about falling in love with someone who was amazing.

"This place is incredible for me….I remember I stood right
there, watching The Script. And it turns out, Louis was in the same gig."

| "For the First Time", by The Script, was a group Louis and Harry had seen in concert on the same day at the same venue, but not together (O2 Apollo Manchester) on Feb 8, 2009 Destiny at work |

It was revealing that Harry ended his tweet spree with these particular lyrics on Sept 18. Just a few days before One Direction moved into the X Factor House in North London. The title of the song is "Dancing in the Moonlight" (It's Caught Me in Its Spotlight) by Thin Lizzy, and covered by The Smashing Pumpkins in the 1990s. The record is about the exhilaration of young love and chasing your adolescent crush. Love the winky semicolon which conveys a cheeky message. Perhaps even a shared secret.
Then we have the beginnings of the massive visual evidence that something heartfelt was happening in real time,

By Oct 30, 2010, the green-eyed monster had already surfaced on Harry's part. A clear indication that Louis and Harry's relationship was more than casual and, at least, based on Harry's emphatic reaction to Aiden Grimshaw's flirty behavior with Louis, serious. Here is Harry, sternly and confidently informing Grimshaw that he has overstepped his privileges and needs to back off.
