Knocking on the wrong door au
28. Knocking on the wrong door au w/ Niall
It was midnight when a loud banging on your door began. You had only just moved into this house a week ago and you hadn’t even known anyone in this neighborhood so you were a bit frightened to see who was at you door at this hour.
Ten minutes later, the banging hadn’t calmed and you were worried that it would start to disturb your neighbors– if it wasn’t one of them already banging on your door from some reason. You stumbled downstairs to the door, slightly lifting the curtain covering the window directly near the door. Peering out of it, you saw a blonde boy with his head leaning against your door. His eyes were closed but he still continued to knock on the door, not thing the hint that you didn’t plan on answering.
“C’mon Liam, it’s cold out here.” He groaned.You hadn’t expected him to speak up to try and and get your attention but it was clear that whoever he was looking for wasn’t here because you definitely weren’t Liam nor did you even personally know someone named Liam.
Shakily, you cracked open the door, just enough to see him, though it was clear he wasn’t expecting this as he was leaned against the door. He tumbled forward, pushing the door open completely and falling into your entryway.
“Are you okay?” Forgetting about you previous fear of this stranger, you kneeled down to make sure he hadn’t hurt himself from his fall.
He only groaned in response, finally sitting back up when he realized that he didn’t recognize his surroundings. “Is Liam here?” His voice cracked and he instantly cleared his throat and blushed at the sound.
“No, I don’t even know a Liam, I’m sorry.”
“Oh…” He then stood up, you quickly following as he went back onto your porch. “He told me to stop by his house tonight but I guess I went to the wrong place…” This mystery boy seemed so confused when he glanced at your house number. “Did you just move in?”
You nodded. “About three days ago.”
He cursed under his breath. “I can’t believe I fucking forget he moved.”
You gave him a small pity smile, hoping to finish up this ordeal soon since you had a job interview in the morning and you really wanted to make a good impression.
“I’m sorry for causing you trouble so late at night.” His apology seemed sincere and your gratefully accepted. “I’m Niall, by the way. Thank you for being so kind to me after a banged on your door for fifteen minutes.” He smiled, reaching to his pocket to grab him keys.
“It’s alright, Niall. It was just a mistake, I’m y/n by the way.”
“Well,” He began, walking backwards towards his car as he smiled at you. “Thanks again and I truly am sorry.”
You once again said that it was alright and watched as he got into his car, likely to drive off to find Liam’s true house instead.
Maybe he’d make a mistake like that and you’d get to see him again, but under different, better terms.
