Made the switch from coffee/espresso to tea about a year ago and I like it way better ☕️🫖 so much more chill instead of feeling like a crack head with an eventual energy crash whenever I drank strong coffee or espresso lol

New Preference #38 - You’re Best Friends and Secretly in Love - Niall (Part 3)

Niall:

“Damn it all to hell.” Niall mumbles to himself. He took another sip of his drink  He had no idea that you were in love with him. He remembered seeing pictures of you and Harry hanging out and he was pissed. He really thought that you and Harry were together behind Niall’s back. 

Niall liked that you got along with the other boys, but he didn’t want you to start dating one. He always liked you, but thought it wasn’t fair to really put you through a relationship with him. He knew what it was like when one of them got a girlfriend and how the fans reacted. He also knew that you would be brought into the spotlight more. 

More than ten minutes went by before Niall got the courage to walk over to the bathroom door. He knocks softly onto the door. 

“Y/N.” He whispers. 

“Oh, now you have more to say?” You mumble. 

He sighs. “Y/N, I’m sorry, I just, I thought you and my best friend were together behind me back, and to find out that you love me not him, was a shock. How was supposed to act?” He asks. 

“I don’t know, but something more than Oh.” You say. “Do you know how humiliating that is? I told you that I love you and practically pour my heart out to you and all you fucking say is oh!” You say opening the door. 

“Again, I’m fucking sorry!” He says. “What do you want me to say?” 

“You still have yet to respond to what I said appropriately.” You say. “You still have yet to tell me how YOU feel. You just keep apologizing!” 

“Because you’re pissed!” He groans. “And I know how you are when you’re pissed!” 

You glare at him before pushing past him. You walk over to your coat and bag getting ready to leave. 

“Don’t leave Y/N.” He sighs. 

“I obviously have no reason to stay.” You mumble. 

“Yes you do!” He groans walking over and grabbing your hand. 

“What dinner?” You mock. 

“Well, yeah, but I’m the reason to stay.” He sighs. “You want to know how I feel, where here it is. I love you and I want to be with you. I never said anything because I feel like you deserve someone better than me.” He mumbles. 

“Better?” You say confused. “What do you mean?” 

“You know what I mean, Y/N.” He sighs. “I’m gone most of the time. We have a hard time even having a friendship when I’m the road, much less a relationship. I’ve missed your last two birthdays. I would suck as a boyfriend.” 

You sigh putting your bag and jacket back. You lace your fingers with his and shake your head. “You wouldn’t suck as a boyfriend, Niall.” You whisper. “And I’m sure if we were in a relationship we would find ways to see each other more, plus you guys aren’t on tour this year, so we have plenty of time to be together before any of that starts back up.” 

He sighs. “I know, but what if we have a great time together then my schedule comes back and it screws everything up, I wouldn’t want to lose you as a friend..” He whispers. 

“I wouldn’t either, but you rather us be together even if it’s for a little while then never at all? I mean you can’t honestly think that we would just wait for each other until years down the road when it’s a perfect time for us or something? I don’t see that happening and if one of us moved on before the other, that would ruin our friendship more than us being together and breaking up.” you sigh. 

“Think about it, you got super pissed thinking I was dating Harry.” You giggle. “Which isn’t even the case, but what if that happened one day. Not necessarily Harry, but someone else.” 

“I would still be pissed.” He nods. 

“Exactly.” You sigh. “So, either we’re going to be just friends with no hope for a future relationship and we’re both free to move on whenever we want, or we’re going to try this out because honestly I don’t want anyone else and I love you. I’m willing to make this work and I just need to know if you are too.” 

He sighs. “I want to be with ya too, Y/N.” He says. “But I’m scared.” 

“So am I.” you say wrapping your arms around his waist. “But we can be scared together. We don’t have to start out fast just because we know that we’re in love and we’ve known each other for a long doesn’t mean we have to just jump into a relationship.” 

“Are you saying we should just date around.. get to know each other? He smirks. 

“I guess that’s what you would call it if we were complete strangers at this stage.” You giggle. 

“Then would this be our first date?” He asks. 

“Well, I’m sure our food is cold now...” You say. 

“We could always order in.” He smirks. 

“Hmm. Sounds like a great first date.” you smile 

“I’ll get the menus and my phone.” He says. 

You smile to yourself as you wait for him to come back. Tonight didn’t exactly go like you wanted, but all that mattered was that you and Niall were working on a relationship and you couldn’t have been happier.

New Preference #38- You’re Best Friends and Secretly in Love (Part 3) Louis

Louis:

It’s been a few days since your date with Louis and you both couldn’t stop thinking about that night. Now, since both of you are super stubborn and don't want anyone saying “I told you so” you’ve been seeing one another in secret. 

You were backstage hanging out with all the lads before the they had to get ready for the show. Louis was on his phone smirking at something, while you were talking to Niall. 

Niall was talking about something, when you feel your phone buzz. You reach to grab it from your back pocket and see Louis’ name with a text message. 

“Meet me on the bus.” You read to yourself. You see Louis get up and walk out the door, giving you a little glance before leaving. 

You wait a few minutes before excuse yourself to the restroom. You sneak out of the venue and onto the bus. When you get on, you don’t see Louis at first and you start thinking maybe you got on the wrong one. 

“Louis” You whisper looking around, when someone grabs your waist from behind. You yelp a bit turning around only to see Louis standing there a smirk on his face. 

“Took ya long enough.” He says. 

“Hey! I was trying to be normal. It would have looked quite suspicious had I left when you do.” You say. 

“Y/N. We’re friends... Best Friends, it’s not like we’ve never hung out on the bus by ourselves before.” He says. 

“True.” You say. “But I feel like everyone is just waiting for us to reveal we’re together after our date.” 

“We already told everyone that we’re just friends.. they seem to have given up on it.” He says. 

“That’s what they want us to think.” You laugh. 

He laughs. “Maybe, but I don’t care about any of that shit right now. Come ere.” He smirks pulling you closer to him. 

You laugh wrapping your arms around his neck. He leans in for a kiss and you kiss him back. He holds you closer to him as he deepens the kiss. You run your hand down his chest and up his shirt a bit causing him to smirk. 

“Shut up.” You mumble. 

“I said nothing.” He smirks walking you back towards the couch on the side of the bus. 

“I know what you’re thinking.” You say. 

“And what’s that?” He smirks kissing down your neck. 

“I’m not going to tell you.” You smirk. 

“Well, that’s just mean, love.” He says. 

“Nope.” You smirk pushing him off of you and heading towards the door of the bus. “That’s mean.” 

He looks at you with a pout on his face. “I don’t even know why I love you. You’ve always been so mean to me.” 

“Aww.” You giggle walking back over to him. “I have not.” 

“Yes, you have.” He says. 

“What... if I make it up to you.” You smirk straddling him. 

“Oh, well.. it would be a start.” He smirks running his hands up your sides. 

You smirk leaning down to kiss him. 

**

About an hour later, you two emerge from the bus, fixing your shirt and pulling your hair in a bun. You go inside while Louis follows you. 

“Where you two been?” Harry smirks when he sees you walking inside. 

“We had a chat on the bus.” Louis shrugs. 

“A chat?” Harry smirks. “Where you talking about how red is definitely not your color mate?” 

Louis looks at him confused before you notice that his lips are covered in red lipstick. Your eyes widen and point to your lips. He touches his and realizes too. 

“Shit.” He mumbles. 

“Yeah. Next time you want to be a little more subtle about you two being more than friends, why don’t you look in the mirror beforehand... or make sure Y/N’s not wearing red lipstick.” Harry smirks before walking away. 

“Looks like the cat is out of bag.” You groan. 

He laughs. “Why didn’t you tell me about my lips?” He asks. 

“I honestly didn’t pay attention.” You laugh. 

He rolls his eyes. “I need to get this off before we go on stage.” He says. 

“Want some help?” You smirk. 

“I think you’ve done enough.” He smirks. 

You giggle and go into the kitchen area to get some food. You see the rest of the boys smirking as you put food on your plate. 

“Shut it!” You say causing them all to smirk. 

**

Once the concert was over, you and Louis were getting ready to head back to the hotel. 

“So, I guess us being together is out in the open now.” You laugh. 

“Yeah. apparently Liam texted me Mum.. she’s been texting me all night.” He laughs. 

“Oh god.” you laugh shaking your head. “Well, so much for secrecy.” You giggle. 

“Well, if you think about it, the only reason we were keeping it a secret is because we didn’t want to keep hear the I told you so shit.” He says. “And I don’t mind it, actually, as long as I get to kiss you anytime I want.” He smirks. 

“Hmm. I guess so.” You giggle. “I love you..”

He smiles. ‘I love you too.” He smiles. 

You smile leaning into kiss him as the driver drives back to the hotel, where you and Louis spend the rest of the night.

New Preference #38- You’re Best Friends and Secretly in Love. Part 3. (Liam)

Liam:

Liam watches you go into the bathroom. He’s mentally kicking himself in the ass. That was definitely not how he wanted this to go. He was thrilled that you had feelings for him, however, he was pretty sure he screwed any chance of you two being together now. He waits a few minutes before walking over to the bathroom door. 

He tries to open it, but it’s locked. He sighs leaning his head against the door. 

“Y/N.” He says. 

You look towards the door when you hear him say your name. You were hurt and embarrassed. You didn’t want to talk to him. You didn’t want to see him. You didn’t want to hear him say that he felt nothing for you. You could just picture it now. Him saying that he loves you like a sister and nothing more. Then it would cause your friendship to be awkward and eventually you would lose him as a friend. 

Dammit Louis! You should have never had listened to him. He was all about Liam having feelings for you, but apparently that wasn’t the case. You made a mental note to make sure and kill him as soon as you see him next. 

“Y/N.” Liam says again from the other side of the door. “Y/N, please open the door.” 

You shake your head no, which is funny seeing as how he can’t see you. You can’t even bring yourself to speak because you know as soon as you do, he will hear the hurt and tears in your voice. 

Liam tries to wiggle the doorknob, but of course it’s still locked. He sighs and decides to just talk to you through the door, since you won’t let him in. 

“Y/N. I know that you’re probably embarrassed and I feel like a complete ass for reacting that way.” He starts. 

Here we go, you thought. He feels bad that he doesn’t feel the same way from you. 

“I was just caught of guard.” He says. “I mean you said that you talked to Louis and that he made you realize something.. I never thought that it would be that. I never thought you were going to tell me you were in love me.” 

You sigh covering your eyes in embarrassment all over again. 

“I was shocked and hell, I still am.” He sighs. “But please, just let me come in and we can talk about this.” 

“I don’t need you to pity me, Liam!” You say. “Just tell me that truth and get it over with. You don’t have to spare my feelings!” 

“What?” He asks. “What are you bloody talking about? I don’t pity you.” 

“Yes you do! You feel bad that you don’t feel the same way about me. You’re trying to come up with a way to let me down easy, so that we can spare our friendship.” You say. 

You weren’t sure how you got the courage to finally speak, but it was there. 

“That’s not... Damnit, Y/N just let me in, so we can talk.” He says. 

“NO! Just go away. I don’t want to talk to you or about this anymore tonight. I think I’ve embarrassed myself enough.” You shout. 

“This is my room!” He says. “My bathroom, are you seriously just going to sleep in there tonight?” He asks. 

You hadn’t exactly thought of that. You were in Liam’s hotel room, which meant this was his bathroom. You could just go to yours, but you knew that if you walked out of this room, he wouldn’t let you leave until you two talked. 

“YES! The tub is pretty roomy! I’ll be fine!” You shout. 

“This is fucking crazy, Y/N! Just come out!” He says. 

“NO!” You shout crossing your arms with a pout on your face. 

“Fucking...” You hear Liam mumble before stomping around the hotel room. 

You could hear some rumbling throughout the room before you hear and see the doorknob wiggling again. Next thing you know, the door opens. 

“Got it!” Liam smirks holding a credit card in his hand. 

You roll your eyes. “So, what. You’re in, now I can leave.” You say. 

“No, you’re not.” He says grabbing your hand gently. 

“Yes, I am! You can’t keep me here!” you say. 

“This is not how I wanted this to go...” he mumbles. 

“Well, too fucking bad Liam!” You say pulling your arm out of his grasp. 

You head towards the door and Liam shakes his head. 

“Damnit Y/N! I LOVE YOU TOO!” He shouts throwing his hands around. “There are you happy? I’m in fucking love with you too and I wanted to tell you without shouting it like this or through the bloody door.  But no, you have to be so fucking stubborn.” He says. 

With your hand on the doorknob, you stop. “W-What?” You ask turning around to look at him. 

“I love you. I’m in love with you. I’ve been in love with you for years, but I just never said anything because I didn’t think it was fair to you with me being gone all the time.” He says. 

You look at him for a bit before walking over and hitting his shoulder. “Well, why didn’t you just say that instead of making me think you felt the complete opposite!” You shout. 

“You didn’t give me a chance!” He laughs. 

“I’m stubborn, remember?” you say. “You’re just supposed to deal with it and tell me anyway.” 

“Well, I did!” He defends. “Just now.”

“Yeah, after I thought you only loved me like your sister or something!” You groan. 

“Ew. No... You are far from my sister...” he says. 

“Good to know.” You say. 

He laughs. “Tonight has been quite eventual.” 

“Yeah...” You blush. 

“And it is quite late...” He whispers walking towards you. 

“Yeah...” You nod. 

“Would you want to just stay here... I do have this big bed all to myself..” He smirks. 

You look up at him and then look at the bed. “Ugh fine, but no funny business. Tonight has already been crazy enough and I’m exhausted.” 

He laughs. “Okay. I’ll keep my hands to myself.” He says. “But can I at least have a kiss?” He whispers. 

“Well, I mean.. might as well.” You smirk looking up at him. 

He smiles leaning down to kiss you. You smile widely into the kiss, wrapping your arms around him. He picks you up and carries you over to the bed. You two lay down, cuddling together before falling asleep. You two still didn’t know what this meant for you or what this made you two. However, you did know that you two were in love and that was all that matter in this moment. 

[theydontknowaboutusimagines]

New Preference #38- You’re Best Friends and Secretly in Love. Part 3 (Harry)

Harry:

You felt extremely bad when Harry went to his bedroom. You didn’t mean to make him feel embarrassed its just that you never thought that he would tell you that he wanted all those things with you. You two had been best friends your entire lives and you always had a crush on him and wanted to be with him, you just never thought he felt the same way. 

You wait a few moments before walking to his room. You knock on the door and notice it’s unlocked. You walk in and see Harry laying on his bed with his pillow over his head. You sigh walking over to him. You sit down next to him and hear him mumble something. 

“You shouldn’t feel embarrassed.” You say softly. 

“Just because we’re best friends and you’ve seen me during my worst times doesn’t mean that I shouldn’t be embarrassed that I just told you I loved you and you obviously don’t feel the same way.” He mumbles. 

“Technically, I never said that I don’t feel the same way and technically I never said I didn’t.” you say.” I never actually got the chance to respond.”

“Yes you did! You looked at me shocked and said wow.” He says. “There was time for a different response.” 

“Well, how did you expect me to respond Harry?” you sigh. “My best friend just told me that he’s in love with me too. Something that I never expected to ever happen. I was shocked and I had to gather my thoughts because it happened so quick. I was never expecting that to be what was bothering you tonight.” 

Harry flips over and looks at you. “Wait..Did you.. Did you just say in love with me too?” He asks. “As in...you love me back or that someone else is in love with you and you’ve gotten two declaration of loves in the last few days?” 

“Oh, well I mean, I’m pretty sure the waiter and I made a huge connection tonight, but I’m talking about I’m in love with you too.” You smile. 

“Really? You are?!” He says sitting up quickly. “You’re not just saying that to spare my feelings are you?” 

“Have you ever known me to do that?” You ask. 

“No. There’s been many a times when you’ve been mean to me.” He says. 

“Hey! You asked me for my opinion and I genially gave it to you. It’s not my fault you didn’t like it.” you laugh. 

He laughs a bit before you both have a little silent moment. 

Harry starts playing with his fingers a bit before looking over at you. “So...” He says. “What does this mean for us exactly?” 

You walk over on your knees to get closer to him for a bit. “Well, what do you want it to mean?” You whisper. 

“Well, I-uh..I meant everything I said earlier. I want a life with you as more than your best friend...” He whispers. 

“So, does this mean we’re dating then?” You giggle. 

“Y/N, we’ve known each other our entire lives, I think we can skip the shitty dating process.” He says. 

“What are you saying then, Styles?” You smirk. 

His gaze lowers before it returns back to you. A red tint grazes his cheeks before he can even speak. “Will you be my girlfriend?” He whispers. 

“Hmm. I don’t know.. I mean you haven’t even kissed me yet? What if you’re not a good kisser?” you smirk. “I love you and all, but I have needs Harold.” 

His smile forms into the biggest smirk you’ve ever seen on him. “Are you saying you need a little trial time?” He asks. 

“I guess I am.” You smirk. “I mean Netflix even comes with a free trial time.” 

Still smirking, Harry wraps his arms around you, puling you closer to him. Your legs are touching his as he leans in closer. You can feel his breath against your lips and you start feel butterflies in your stomach. You’ve known him your whole life, but this moment right here felt different. It was new. It was addicting and he hadn’t even kissed you yet. He was still inches away from kissing you and you already wanted more. More. If this barely there kiss was making you feel this way, what would the actual kiss feel like..what would the sex feel like. You almost moaned just thinking about it, luckily you didn’t because that would totally have ruined the moment and you wanted nothing more than to feel his lips on yours. 

You knew what he was doing. He was getting back at you for trying to be a little shit with the whole good kisser comment, but that’s okay because you would get your chance to get him back again. You always did. 

His hands were roaming up and down your back. His nose was grazing yours. Your eyes were closed, but you could still feel that stupid smirk on his lips. You couldn’t take anymore. You leaned in, closing those last few inches and finally your lips hit. Harry was taken back at first, you had ruined his plan, however, he didn’t care. 

He pulled your body closer to him. The odd angle you two sat at, made Harry had to open his legs a bit and for you climb onto his lap. You two had still to break the kiss as it was deepened on Harry’s end. Your hands were slowly, but surely making their way across his chest before coming down to the buttons. You’ve seen him shirtless plenty of times over the years, but you knew this time it would be different. You quickened your pace as you unbuttoned them and slide the shirt down his shoulders. 

Harry then wraps his arms around you again before moving you down onto the bed. He pulls himself away from the kiss causing a pout on your lips. He smirks at you.

“Don’t worry..” He laughs pulling the rest of the shirt off. 

He quickly removes his boots kicking them to the side before rejoining you back on the bed. “Just gettin’ a bit more comfortable..” He says leaning into kiss you again. 

“It seems you forgot something...” You smirk playing with his belt as he kisses you. 

He freezes for a bit before pulling away and looking down at you. “Y/N.. Are you sure? I mean we don’t have... this is fine. No, this is great.. I’m in no rush.” He says. 

“I want to.” You whisper. “You’re not just some guy I just met or some one night stand.. I love you, you’re my best friend and I trust you. Like you said.. we can skip that whole shitty dating process and that includes taking it slow. We’ve been taking it slow for the past 22 years.” you giggle. 

He laughs. “I guess we have...but in that case.” He says. “I think it’s time for you get a little more comfortable as well.” He smirks unzipping the back of your dress. 

A few hours later, you were entangled in each other’s arms. Sweat covered your skin, along with a few love bites. Your breath was slowly coming back to normal  as you feel his fingers running over your naked back. 

“That was better than I thought it would be.” Harry whispers. 

“Were you thinking it was going to be bad?” you giggle. 

He blushes quickly.”No.. I just I figured it would be amazing.. but not that amazing... I’m really glad I don’t have close neighbors.” He laughs. 

You giggle lacing your hand with his. “I love you.” You whisper. “I never actually said that yet, it feels nice to say it.” You smile. 

“It feels amazing to hear it.” He whispers. “I love you.” 

A small smile forms on your lips as you lean up to kiss him. 

“So, did I past the test?” Harry smirks pulling away. “Cause it sounded like I really fulfilled your needs.”

“Shut up!” you laugh.”but yes, you passed the test.” 

“And this means you’re my girlfriend now, right?” He asks. 

“Yes, Harold.” You say dramatically. 

“Good, now get ready for another round to celebrate.” He smirks rolling over on top of you leaning down for another kiss. 

Let’s just say the two of you didn’t fall asleep until after the sun came up. 

**Each part is going to be a little bit longer than normal, so I’m going to split them up a bit! Harry's today and the rest of the boys will be posted though the week and perhaps next week as well!

New Preference #37- You’re Best Friends and Secretly in Love. Part 2

Harry: 

On the ride home and once you get to Harry’s house, you notice that Harry was acting different. As soon as you two walk in, he heads over to the bar and pours himself a glass a wine. 

“You okay?” You ask. 

“Yeah. Great.” He nods downing the entire glass of wine before he goes to to pour himself another glass. 

“Hey. What’s wrong?” You say. “Did I do something?” 

He shakes his head. “No, you didn’t. It’s me.” He sighs. 

“Did you do something?” you ask confused. “Do you think I’ll be mad at you or something?” 

“Maybe.” He says looking over at you. 

“Just tell me.” You say rubbing his back. “We’re best friends. We tell each other anything. I’ve seen you at your worst and your best. Whatever this is, it’s fine.” 

“That’s the problem.” he sighs pushing off the bar and pacing around the room. 

“What do you mean?” You ask. “Are you saying you don’t want to be friends anymore?” 

“I don’t want to just be your friend anymore.” He whispers. “I love you as more than a friend. I have for years, probably since we were teenagers and I haven’t said anything because I’m scared that I’ll lose you as a friend. But the older we get, the more I realize that I can’t just be your friend. I want a life with you. I want to grow old together watching our grandchildren running around.” 

You look at Harry shocked. “Wow.” You whisper. 

Harry looks at you, almost embarrassed before walking up to his room before you can say anything. 

Liam:

That night after the concert you were hanging out in Liam’s hotel room. He usually wasn’t all that tired after a show, so he liked to just hang out watching a movie or talking. He had picked out a movie and it was on in the background. 

You weren’t really paying all that much attention to it and Liam could tell. 

“We don’t have to watch this if you don't want.” He says. “Or if you’re tired you can go to sleep. Don’t mind me.” 

“No. No it’s not that. I’m fine.” You say. 

“Then what’s up?” He asks. 

“Nothing it’s just some things Louis said earlier.” You shrug. 

“What did he say?” Liam says sitting up. “He may be my best mate, but I’ll fight him over you.” He says. 

You laugh. “No fighting needs to be done.” You say. “I promise. It’s just something he said has made me think about some stuff.” 

“Like what?” He asks. 

You sigh. “If I tell you this, can you promise to hear me out and not make it awkward? At least try..” 

“Okay. Yeah. I promise.” He says. 

“I’ve just.. I’ve realized that I have feelings for you. Not the your best friend kind, the I want to be more than your best friend.” You whisper. 

“And talking to Louis made you realize this?” He asks. 

“Yeah. We were talking about it and he was talking about how obvious it was that I felt some for you and I started thinking that.. yeah I do.” you say. 

He looks over at you. “Are you saying that you’re in love with me?” He asks. 

You sigh looking down for a bit before looking over at him. “Yeah. I am.” You whisper. 

“I-I-Wow.” He whispers. “I was not expecting that...” 

You look at him as tears form in your eyes. You quickly get up and leave the room before he’s able to see you cry. 

Louis:

It was the big date night between you and Louis. You weren’t sure how this was going to work because it felt like any other time that you were spending time together. However, you decided to dress a little bit nicer and act like you were actually going on a date with someone. 

Louis’ eyes widen when he saw you walking towards the elevator to meet him and you couldn’t help but notice how he acted towards you in the car. He was trying not to look at you because every time he did, his gaze would lower to look at all of you. 

Dinner at the restaurant was like normal, so you weren’t exactly sure how the date was going. 

“Okay, I just have to say something.” You say. “If this is our “date” as more than friends and it feels like another time we’ve spend time together, does that mean everyone might be right?” you laugh. 

“I don’t know.” He laughs. “I mean I don’t know if I was thinking maybe I would feel something different with you going on this date, but I don’t.. so I’m not sure.” 

You laugh. “Me either.” 

“Maybe we should fuck and see if we feel anything.” he smirks. 

“Ew. Yeah. No.” you laugh. “We’re not doing that.” 

He laughs. “How about a kiss then?” He asks. “I mean how else are we gonna know?” 

“Fine. One kiss.” You say. “But not here. After.” 

He nods and you two finish eating. Once you two are back in the car, you head back to the hotel. You were standing outside your hotel room, when you and Louis stand there awkwardly. 

“I guess now is the time?” You ask. 

“Guess so.” he nods. 

You both look at each other before closing your eyes and leaning in for a kiss. He places his hands on your hips and you wrap your arms around his neck. He deepens the kiss and you realize that everyone was right, but you’re not sure if Louis feels the same. 

Niall:

It’s been a few months since you’ve talk to Harry about Niall. Niall was finally done with traveling, so you two were able to hangout again. You were over his house while he was cooking up a big dinner. You weren’t sure how you were going to tell him how you felt or even when and because of that you were really nervous. 

“What’s wrong with ya?” Niall asks bringing you a drink. “You’re actin’ weird.” 

“Gee thanks.” You laugh. 

“Ya know what I mean!” He says. “Did somethin’ happen?” 

“I guess you could say that..” You say. 

“Is it about you and Harry?” He sighs. “Are you two seein’ each other?” 

“What? No. I mean not like that.” You say. 

“You don’t have to lie to me.” He says. “I know you two have been hangin’ out.” 

“Yeah because we’re friends.” You say confused. “We’re not together.” 

“If you were, you would tell me though right?” He asks. 

“Of course, I would, but we’re not. We’re both just friends. I promise.” you say. 

 You can see a sign of relief on his face. “However, there is a guy that I’m interested in.” You say. 

“O-Oh, you are?” he asks. “Have you been seein someone?” 

“No. We haven’t talked about that..” You say. 

“Oh. Do I know the guy?” He asks. 

“Yeah. Very well actually.” You say. 

“So it is Harry!” He says. 

“What? No! It’s you, you dumbass!” You groan. “I like you. I’m interested in you! Harry and I are just friends, but you, I want to be more than friends with you.” 

Niall looks over to you. “Oh...” He whispers. 

“Oh. That’s all you have to say?” You whisper before heading into the bathroom.

New Preference #36- You’re Best Friends and Secretly in Love.

Harry: 

Due to the fact that your Mom and Anne were best friends, you grew up with Harry and Gemma. All three of you were super close and still are to this day. You were there to support him in the X Factor days and once One Direction were making it big, you would visit him on tour. One might think since Harry has been gone a lot of the time that you two might have grown apart or at least not be as close, but honestly you think that you two have gotten closer. 

Harry was working in LA and since you were finishing up with your semester at Uni, he invited you out for a visit. You were out for dinner with him and some of his friends. You two were constantly talking with one another and flirting a little bit throughout the dinner. 

You excuse yourself to the go to the bathroom and some of the other girls follow suit. Harry takes a sip of his drink, when he notices Jeff and James staring at him. 

“What?” He asks. 

“Are you honestly going to sit there and play coy?” James asks. “There is no way that you two are just friends.” 

“Best friends.” Harry says. “Look, we’ve known each other our entire lives. We’re friends.” 

“Bloody bullshit.” James says. “You look at her like you want don’t want to leave the bedroom for days.” 

Harry blushes a bit. “Hey! I don’t.. look at her like that. Yes, she’s beautiful, but she’s my best mate.” 

“Just because you want to fuck her doesn’t mean she still can’t be your best mate.” Jeff smirks. 

“Will you shut the fuck up?” Harry groans. 

“He’s just stating the obvious.” James smirks. “You two act like there’s something more between you two, not just stop denying it.” 

Harry sighs. “Okay, fine, yeah there’s something more at least for me.” He says. 

“I fucking knew it!” Jeff almost shouts. 

“Lowering your fucking voice!” Harry whispers harshly. 

“Sorry, but it’s true. Just tell her how you feel.” He says. “I’m tired of you being the third wheel with me and my wife.” He jokes. 

“It’s not exactly that simple.” Harry sighs. 

“Yes it is. You say, Y/N, I love you blah blah.” James says. 

“And what if she doesn’t love me back?” Harry says. “Then it just makes our relationship awkward. I would rather have her in my life as my best friend than to not have her at all.” 

“That right there just shows how much you love her.” James says seriously. “One day you’re going to have to tell her or that could ruin your relationship.” 

Harry sighs looking down at his food. “I don’t know..” He says and soon you make your way back to the table. 

Liam:

“Liam! Stop!” You laugh from over his shoulder. 

You were on tour with Liam and One Direction. You and Liam had been best friends for years. You two had a very playfully, flirty relationship. You were backstage when you played a little prank on Liam, with help from Louis. This then caused Liam to chase after you and once you caught you, he threw you up over his shoulder. 

“Nope. Not gonna happen.” He smirks. “I can’t believe you did that to me! And with Louis of all people!” He says. 

“Hey. It was good one and you know it!” You say. 

“Okay, I’ll admit that, but still it wasn’t very nice.” He says. 

“Says the guy who is carrying me over his shoulder.” You say sarcastically. 

He laughs. “I’ll put you down soon.” 

Once you are back inside the venue, Liam finally puts you down. 

“Thank you.” You laugh. 

“Now, I’ll be right back, I have to get my hair fixed, since you messed it up.” he says. 

You laugh. “Sorry...” You smirk. 

Liam walks kisses your cheek before walking into the dressing room. You head over to the catering table and get some food. 

“I see Liam is back in Lou’s chair.” Louis smirks. 

“Yeah.” You laugh. “Thanks again for the help.” 

“Course. Anytime to mess with Liam.” He says. “But now I have a question for you.” 

“Okay?” You say walking towards the table. 

“How long have you been in love with him?” He asks. 

You almost spit out your drink. “W-What?” 

“Don’t play innocent.” Louis says. “I can tell you have feelings for him and I’m pretty sure that he feels the same way about you.” 

“I-I don’t know what you’re talking about.” You say. 

“Yes, you do.” He says. “It’s so obvious.” 

You sigh. “Even if I did have feelings for Liam, which I’m not saying I do, why does it matter because I’m more than sure he doesn’t have any for me.” 

“Oh, but he does.” Louis says. “When you’re not around, he’s constantly talking about you and when you two are texting he's got this stupid grin on his face and I’m pretty sure he’s actually said that he’s happiest when he’s around you.” 

“Really?” You ask. 

“Yep. So, I’m thinking if you do have feelings for him, then maybe you should tell him.” Louis says. “Think about that for a bit.” He smirks before leaving you to your dinner and your thoughts. 

Louis:

Working for One Direction caused you to get really close to the boys, Louis in particular. You would constantly be near each other. You would sit next to him on the plane or the bus. You would be texting one another when you two were away from each other. You two would also go out all the time together. You two were so close that a rumor of you two being in a relationship were going around. 

You were constantly photographed together that even your families believed that you were dating. 

Louis’ family were in town for tour and you were hanging out with all of them. 

“Y/N, Louis keeps saying that it’s not true, but are you two seeing each other?” His Mom asks.

“We’re not dating if that’s what you’re asking.” You laugh. 

“See Mum! I told ya!” Louis smirks. “We’re just friends. Is it a crime to hang out with her?” 

“Not at all, it’s just you two would be really cute together. And I love Y/N, she would be perfect for you.” She adds. 

“Mum, I don’t need dating advice from you.” He groans. “Especially when Y/N is right here.” 

“Oh, It’s fine. My Mum thinks the same thing.” You laugh. 

“See! Maybe you two should give it go! I mean the whole world practically thinks you’re dating anyway.” His Mom says. 

“There’s billions of people in this world, I highly doubt every single one of those people knows who we are much less that we’re dating.” Louis rolls his eyes. 

“Oh, you know what I mean!” She says. “Seriously, you two should just try it out. You already act like a couple..” 

You and Louis just look at each other. “We’re never going to hear th end of this while she’s here.” you whisper. 

“Fine. Fine! We’ll go on a date as more than friends, but just watch Mum. We’re friends that’s it.” Louis says. 

Niall:

Being best friends with Niall meant you became best friends with Harry. You were in LA for work and so was Harry. You decided to meet up and hangout a bit. You two could talk about anything, but somehow the subject of Niall came up. 

“Have you made any plans with Niall for the break?” He asks. 

“Not yet. I figured I would let him do his own thing for a bit. I know that he’s traveling right now, so I’ll let him do that and then talk about hanging out later.” you say. 

“I bet you miss him.” Harry says. 

“Yeah, I do. I felt like we talked more when he was on tour than we do now that you guys are on the break.” You say. 

“Well, we’re all just sort of trying to get in the whole non-touring part of life.” Harry says. “And I’m sure he misses you too.” 

“I hope so.” You sigh. 

“Aww, Y/N.” He laughs wrapping his arm around your shoulder. “He does you’re his best friend.” 

“So are you.” You say. 

“True, but you two are different. You’ve known each other a lot longer than I’ve known Niall and plus I’m pretty sure he would rather hang out with you than me anyway.” He says. 

“What do you mean by that?” You ask. 

“Nothing other than the fact that he’s crazy in love with you.” He says. 

“Ha! You’re jokes still aren't funny.” You say. 

“One I take offense to that because my jokes are funny and two that wasn’t even joke, so there!” He smirks. 

You roll your eyes. “Niall isn’t in love me.” You say. “He would have told me. We tell each other everything.” 

“So, you’ve told him that you’re in love with him?” Harry asks. 

You can’t help the blush that comes across your face. “I-”

“Exactly.” He says. 

“How do you even know that?” You sigh. 

“Because on the outside looking in it’s pretty bloody obvious how you two feel about one another, but you two are just too blind to pay attention.” he says. 

“Well since you seem to know Niall and I so well, what should I do then?” You ask. 

“Tell him how you feel.” He says. “I mean one of you two have to do that in order for it go anywhere and we both know that Niall won’t be the one to do it.” 

You sigh nodding going back to eating your frozen yogurt as you think about the conversation.

New Preference #35- He Gets Jealous

Harry: 

One of the reasons that your and Harry’s relationship worked out so well was because you both were in the public eye. You were also a singer/performer, while he was part of the biggest band in the world right now. You both knew how to deal with paparazzi and the constant traveling that your schedules required. You both also understood that each of you got attention from the opposite sex, however, that didn’t mean that neither of you didn’t get jealous at times. 

Since Harry wasn’t touring with One Direction for the year, he was able to come to more of your shows. It also meant that he was hearing certain comments about you from some of the male fans in the audience.

“I wouldn’t mind hitting that thing everyday.” One of them says pointing to you. “Think she’s any good?” 

“You see the way she moves? Hell yes, she's gotta be.” His friend says. 

Harry rolls his eyes, gripping his cup in his hand. 

“Doesn’t she have a boyfriend though?” Another says. 

Yeah, she fucking does. Harry thinks to himself. 

“Does it matter? Give me one night with her and she’ll forget all about him.” The guy smirks. “I mean look at that ass and her boobs... They’ll fit perfectly in my hands.” 

Okay, that was it. Harry was really angry with what they were saying. Yes, you looked hot up there. Yes, Harry was having the same thoughts about you, but he was your boyfriend and knew that there was more to you then how you moved and looked on stage. These guys were obviously only worried about taking you home and seeing that outfit on their floor. 

One of the guys continued to say something and that was all it took for Harry to start making his way towards them. 

Liam:

One of the great things about Liam not touring this year is that you two get to travel more with just the two of you. You were taking a trip to Turks and Caicos and you couldn't be more excited. You had always wanted to go there and the fact that you were getting alone time with Liam was also a bonus. 

You and Liam have been posting pictures of the two of your or of yourselves on instagram the entire trip. Now, since you are staying in the hot beach, most of them are of you in your bathing suit and let’s just say some of the comments were starting to become inappropriate. You were getting ready to head to the beach for the day, when you notice Liam scrolling on his phone. 

You could tell by the look on his face that he was getting upset. You walk over to him, grabbing his phone out of his hands. “Enough social media for the day.” You say. 

“Have you see some of those comments?” He says. “Guys are leaving their phone numbers and talking about how they want to fuck you.” 

“Yeah. They are.” you say. “But I can’t exactly stop them from posting and I’m pretty sure I’ve seen the same type of comments from your fans before.” 

He sighs. “But they don’t say inappropriate things...” 

“Oh, please! Yes, they do. In fact I’ve seen some that were far worse than what is being commented on my pictures.” you say. “Now, let’s go and enjoy our time together Mr. Jealous Man.” you giggle. 

He rolls his eyes. “I’ll meet you in a bit. I need to use the toilet.” He says. 

You nod grabbing your bag and heading out of the room. Liam makes sure you’re going before getting his phone and posting about the comments about you. 

Louis:

Louis loved going out with you and his friends for a night out at the clubs. You enjoyed it too, although sometimes you two would get crowded with fans. Tonight was one of those nights. Louis had gone to get some drinks, while you were up in the private area waiting on him. You had seen him get noticed by fans, so you knew that could be awhile. You decided that you were going to down to the dance floor, with one of your friends so you just weren’t waiting around. 

You’re not sure how long you were on the dance floor before two guys walked up to you and your friend. 

“Can we buy you a drink?” He smirks to you.

“Uh. No.” You say. 

“Are you sure?” He smirks moving closer to you. 

You take a step back, or at least try to. “Yeah, I’m sure.” 

“Well, how about a dance then?” He says dancing up on you. 

“Um. No. I rather dance with myself.” You say. 

“How come on?” He says pulling you back to him. 

Louis was taking his final picture with a fan, when he looks around for you. One of his friends, told you they say you and your friend walking down to the dance floor. After saying goodbye to the fan, Louis makes his way towards the floor. He finally sees you and sees you talking with another a guy. He can tell that you’re not into whatever this guy is saying and as soon as the guy starts dancing up on you and grabbing you, is when Louis heads over there as fast as he can. 

Niall:

You and Niall have so much in common, music being one of the big ones. You two were always listening to music in the car or the house, and going to concerts whenever you can. Now, that One Direction is on hiatus, you and Niall were able to attend some music festivals together. Being able to see all of your favorite artists in one weekend was the best thing ever in both of your minds. 

You, Niall, and a group of your friends were all enjoying the concert being in the audience. You needed to head to the ladies room, so you went with a group of your girlfriends. On the way back, you get a text from Niall for you to get some more beers. You roll your eyes a bit before heading over to one of the beer stands. 

As you’re waiting, a guy that’s standing next to you, notices you. He starts talking to you and then he gives you his number on your hand before you can even say anything. 

“I’ll be right over there.” he says pointing behind you. “Come find me.” He smirks before grabbing his beer and walking away. 

“Okay.. that was weird.” You laugh to your friends as you carry the beers back to the group. 

Niall smiles taking his from you, when he notices something on your hand. “What’s that?” he asks. 

“Oh, just some guy. I’m pretty sure he was drunk. He was hitting on me and then wrote his number on my hand before I could even say anything.” you shrug. 

“Woah. Some guy just gave you his number?” He asks. “Where’s he at?” 

“Over there somewhere.” you shrug taking a drink of your beer. 

“Where?” He says looking around. 

“Are you really jealous right now?” You giggle. 

“I’m just gonna let him know that you’re taken.” He smirks. 

“Just ignore it and enjoy the music.” You say. 

“Yeah..” He nods looking around. He sees a guy staring at you with a bit of a smirk. “That him?” 

“Uh. I guess.” You say. “Stay right here...” 

“I’m just gonna talk to him.” Niall says before walking over there. 

You roll your eyes and follow him.
