A penny for my thoughts, oh no I’ll sell them for a dollar 
They’re worth so much more after I’m a goner
And maybe then you’ll hear the words I been singin’ 
Funny when you’re dead how people start listenin’

It was weird for Liam, seeing Niall’s body in this state. The Irish boy was breathing, technically still alive, but it sure didn’t look like it. He looked damaged, fragile. Liam didn’t dare to leave Niall alone though, Liam was praying for a miracle, even though there was so little hope, Liam didn’t want to give up on Niall.

“Isn’t it better if I just go?” Niall asked the angel. The angel shook her head, “Look at that boy down here, he loves you, he’s praying for you to come back to him.” she spoke. She took Niall’s hand and started to walk with him. “Look at those other kids, walking into the hospital, for you.” Niall looked and saw Zayn, Harry and Louis. “They never cared when I was still alive.” Niall protested. “You just didn’t notice, and you kinda are alive at this very moment.” The angel smiled at Niall. She flew to another place in heaven, and Niall could see his family, crying and hurt. “You wouldn’t want to hurt them more, would you?” The angel asked kindly. Niall shook his head, “I wouldn’t.” he softly said. “See it’s not your time yet.” The angel smiled and Niall nodded. Then he slowly woke up….

“You’re alive.” Liam smiled when he saw Niall’s eyes open slowly. “It wasn’t my time yet.” Niall smiled back. He heard the angel’s voice one last time, “exactly.” she said, sounding warmly and nice. Niall took Liam’s hand. “I wanted to ask you something tonight.” Niall started. Liam smiled at him, “ask away.” he said, he couldn’t be happier Niall was alive. “will you be m boyfriend?” Niall asked shyly. Liam kissed the blonde gently. “yes.” he smiled. 

“I met Justin Bieber again!!” Niall shouted happily. “great dude.” Liam said, feeling genuinly happy for his friend. “Again?” Harry asked, a little jealous. “Yeah and we got into a photoboot and got pictures.” Niall said excited, he chose to ignore Harry’s jealousy. Niall got the pictures out of his pocket and showed them. “You two are quite close aren’t you?” Harry asked bitterly. “Harry! Nothings going on. 1. I am with you. 2. Justin is straight. 3. Justin is dating Selena Gomez.” Niall said, his tone getting sadder. Did Harry really have to be so jealous about these things all the time. “Well you can’t see that on a picture and who says you two won’t cheat?!” Harry said. “Well you know what I’ll be in my flat if you’re looking for me.” Niall said walking away. 

Niall opened his front door with a sigh. He loved Harry, he really did. He just hated that Harry got so jealous all the time. It really ruined some good moments. Niall walked inside and turned on his laptop. He started to play Justin’s new single, mistletoe. Niall sang along, he knew all the words, he couldn’t help it really, he liked Justin’s music so much. It always made him happy when he felt sad. 

Niall heard his door open. “Who’s there?” he shouted. “It’s Harry.” he heard Harry shout back. “Oh.” Niall said loudly. “Ni-Ni?” Harry asked when he was inside Niall’s living room. “yeah?” Niall replied. “I didn’t mean to be jealous about you meeting Justin.” Harry stated. “I know, you never mean to, but it’s a bit stupid, cause I was really happy about it and you kinda ruined it with your jealousy.” Niall said softly. “I’m sorry Nialler.” Harry said sorrowful. “It’s okay, just try to control it next time.” Niall sighed. “I’ll try.” Harry said softly. Then Niall kissed him, to reassure him it really was okay.

Harry loved how he and Niall just fitted togheter perfectly. He loved the way Niall never had to try and still was amazing. The way Niall took away his breath whenever they went on a date, or just in general. Harry loved the way Niall looked, and he loved his personality. Harry loved how Niall accepted him for who he was and never tried to change him. Everything was so natural between the two boys. 

“What are you thinking about?” Niall asked as he hugged Harry from behind and pressed a kiss on Harry’s neck. “about you.” Harry said softly. Niall turned Harry around and hugged him. “I hope it’s positive.” he grinned. “I can’t think negative about you cause it’s just not possible, you are perfect.” harry laughed. Niall shook his head. ‘for the ten millionth time I’m not perfect.” Niall sighed. “Yes you are.” Harry smiled. “you are a silly boy Harry Edward Styles.” Niall giggled then he sat down on the kitchen counter. Harry pressed a kiss on Niall’s lips and started to cook dinner. This was basicly how they spend their evenings off, togheter, Harry cooking, Niall watching him, laughing togheter about the silliest things, giving each other a kiss in between everything. “What are you making?” Niall asked. “Just plain simple spaghetti.” Harry shrugged. “Mhm…I like your spaghetti.” Niall smiled. Harry blushed slightly. “Can I taste?” Niall asked and put some spaghetti on a spoon. He brought it up to Niall’s mouth and Niall ate it. “Fucking delicious!” Niall exclaimed. Harry kissed Niall passionatly and then went back to his cooking. “Louis came up with this really weird pick up line today.” Niall said. “Really? what was it?” Harry smiled. “Are you a cookie cause you look delicious.” Niall giggled. “weirdo.” Harry laughed. 

“Did you enjoy your dinner?” Harry asked softly. Niall nodded and hugged Harry tightly. “A lot.” he smiled. Harry bit his lip. “I wrote you a song.” Niall stated. Harry blushed, “Will you play it for me?” he asked. Niall nodded and got his guitar. “Just a bit though.” he said and started to play.

What do you say when you can’t look down
When you feel like you’re ten feet off the ground
What do you do when you’re on the edge
Now you’re here and you got me thinking ’bout

Parachutes and airplanes
Thinking about
Parachutes and airplanes
We’ll never hit the ground

‘Cause life gets hard sometimes
And I just need a place to get away
So turn the world around
I’m never coming down
‘Cause I don’t ever wanna hit the, wanna hit the ground

“Did you like it?” Niall asked shyly. Harry nodded and smiled. Niall put down his guitar and hugged Harry. “Let’s lay down for a while.” he suggested. Harry nodded and the boys layed down on the couch, close to eachother, not saying a word.

a/n: the song is parachutes and airplanes by david archuletta. 

“….and he’s so cute.” Niall said happily. Harry faked a smile, he liked that Niall was so happy and in love, he just wished he was the one Niall was in love with, the one that made the irish boy so happy. But no, Niall didn’t see him that way, all Niall’s eyes could see was Louis. Niall meant the world to Harry but he just didn’t know.

“His eyes are perfect in this picture.” Niall smiled brightly, pointing to a picture he took of Louis earlier that day “Or actually they are in general.” Harry faked another smile. Harry saw Louis entering the kitchen. “hey Lou.” He greeted. “Hello Harry.” Louis said, not noticing Niall at first. “Hey Louis.” Niall shouted. Louis ran up to Niall and hugged him, “Sorry,” he said, “I didn’t see you.” Niall blushed. “is alright.” he mumbled softly. Louis ruffled Niall’s hair. “you should talk a little louder, or else I don’t know what you say.” Niall giggled. Harry bit his lip sadly and left the room.

Harry hated that Niall didn’t see him. He hated that Niall liked Louis. He hated that Louis didn’t even know Niall the way Harry did, because ,according to Harry, if Niall was going to love him the eldest band member should atleast notice all the little things about Niall that made Niall so special.

“Harry?” Niall softly asked a few days later. “Yeah?” Harry replied grumphy. “Louis doesn’t like me.” Niall stated. Harry shrugged. “and I’d like to know why you are off with me.” Niall added. “cause Liam told me some things that you told him.” the irish boy said awkwardly. Harry sighed irritated. “well I am never telling him something again.” “Harry?” Niall softly said. “yes.” Harry sighed. “do you really love me? cause Liam kinda said that you kinda told me you kinda did.” Niall asked shyly. “Yes I do love you. But honestly, you don’t love me, so what the fuck does it matter?!” Harry replied, “you don’t even notice me. the last three months all you saw was Louis, and I kept on listening about how cute he was, and how perfect he was. And he didn’t even fucking know you, he couldn’t give a fuck about your feelings. I did, but I didn’t matter.” Harry added emotionally. Niall started to cry. “Harry!” he said frustrated. “what?!” harry said annoyed. Then he saw Niall was crying. He bit his lip. He wrapped his arms around Niall tightly. “I just wanted to tell you that I liked both of you.” Niall whispered, “and that I love you more than I loved Louis.” the irish boy added quietly. Harry wiped away Niall’s tears. “Sorry I made you cry.” Harry said, his own eyes were teared up as well. Niall softly kissed Harry. “it’s fine. I hurt you badly, so it’s only what I deserve.” the blonde boy stated. Harry kissed Niall back. Then the boys layed down on Harry’s bed and just cuddled for a while.

-the end-

Am i obsessed with you?
I do my best not to want you
But I do all the time

2 p.m.

Louis was freaking out. All the boys had went to see their families, and although it had only been an hour, Louis already missed Niall so much. He resisted the urge to call his friend and went outside instead.

6 p.m.

Niall missed Louis, he missed all the lads, but he most definetely missed Louis the most. Although Niall was pretty loud himself it felt quiet without Louis. “Is something wrong dear?” Niall’s mom asked, “You’ve barely touched your food.” she added worried. Niall hadn’t even noticed the food, which was very unusual for him. “Just missing someone.” Niall admitted. Niall’s mom shook her head smiling and hugged Niall. “You’re in love aren’t you?” she said. Niall hadn’t even thought about that yet. Did he love Louis? The question didn’t leave his mind.

7 p.m.

Louis had just finished dinner and started to ask his mom advice, without actually telling her he was in love with his leprachaun friend. “Mom, see this friend of mine is in love with someone and he is like afraid to tell that person, what should he do?” Louis asked biting his lip. “Go for it Louis.” She smiled knowingly. “What? How did you find out?” Louis asked shocked. “Mothers know that sort of stuff.” Jay smiled. “Okay but you know what if that someone is like one of your best mates?” Louis asked scared. “Go for it Louis, you’ll never know if you never try.” Jay said and then she walked away. Louis let out a deep sigh.

7 p.m.

Niall layed on his bed. Was it creepy that he knew nearly everything about Louis? He sighed he felt like an obsessed stalker.  Niall had admitted to himself he loved Louis, but it wasn’t like he intented to.

9 p.m.

Louis decided that what he felt for Niall was complete and utter love. He layed on his bed and stared at his ceiling.

9.30 p.m.

call me xx Louis

9.45 p.m.

Niall kept staring at the text Louis send him. He wanted to call Louis, he really did, but he was so damn scared.

11 p.m.

Niall slowly fell asleep, still afraid to call his friend.

2 a.m.

Louis couldn’t take it anymore, if Niall wasn’t going to call him, he’d just call Niall. Louis just wanted to scream it from the rooftops “I am madly in love with Niall Horan and I think he’s perfect.” but Louis didn’t think his neighbours would like that around this hour. Louis waited for Niall to anwser. Niall didn’t.

3 a.m.

Louis called again, praying Niall would anwser. “wha?” Niall said. “look Niall I need to tell you some things.” Louis quickly said. “Okay.” Niall yawned. “First of all, sorry I woke you.” Louis started. Niall giggled “S’fine dude.” he said tiredly and all Louis could think was that it was so cute. “Seconable you are awesome.” Louis said biting his lip. “Thanks.” Niall said softly. “Thirdly I love you.” Louis said quickly.  “you sure?” Niall asked, suddenly wide awake. “Absolutely.” Louis said. “cool. I love you too.” Niall replied. Louis let out a relieved sigh. “I’ll call you tommorow.” Niall said. “yeah s’cool.” Louis said happily. “love you.” Louis said. “Love you too.” Niall said before hanging up.

6 a.m.

“So I’ll see you tommorow right.” Louis said on the phone (he was tired as hell because he hadn’t slept at all) “Yeah. Can’t wait.” Niall said excited. “I love you.” Louis said. “I love you more.” Niall replied. “I love you the mostest.” Louis laughed. “That’s not even a word.” Niall protested. “In my world it is.” Louis giggled (since when did he giggle, Louis wondered, it obviously had something to do with being in love). “Then it’s too in mine.” Niall said happily. “bye.” Louis said sadly. “bye.” Niall replied with an indentical tone.

9 a.m.

Louis had went out to buy tons of gifts for Niall, simply because he couldn’t choose what to give. Louis just wanted it to be special and amazing.

5 p.m.

“He’ll love it anyways.” Louis mom and sisters had told him still Louis was worried.

5 p.m.

“Just pick something already.” Niall’s brother said, getting a little annoyed with Niall’s tendency of checking a gift out and then deciding it wasn’t good enough. “Then what should I buy?” Niall asked. “I dunno stuffed animals, balloons anything like that.” Niall’s brother sighed. “cool.” Niall said.

6 p.m.

“What did you pick out.” Niall’s mom asked. Niall pointed to a few balloons and a huge stuffed teddy bear. “He’ll love it.” She smiled. “I hope so.” Niall softly said.

the next day, 10 a.m.

Niall ran up to Louis and hugged him tightly. “Hey.” he greeted happily. Louis just kissed him in response, receiving surprised looks from their band mates.”When did this happen?” Harry asked confused. Niall smiled, “3 a.m, tuesday.” Louis held Niall closely. “So are you two like boyfriends now?” Liam asked. “I think we are.” Louis said softly. “We are.” Niall said full confidence.

11 a.m

“I got you some presents.” Louis stated. “I got you some too.” Niall giggled. “nice.” Louis smiled. “Can I give mine first?” Niall asked. Louis nodded.

11.10 a.m.

“This is so awesome!” Louis said happily. Niall looked at the ground smiling. “But before I give you my present I need to tell you something.” Louis stated. Niall looked up. “do tell.” he said. “You, Niall James Horan, are amazing, incredible and perfect. I love the way you look, the way you smile, I love your accent, I love you for your talent. I just love you for you and I hope you never change.” Louis said smiling then he hugged Niall tightly. “you sure?” Niall said, a little emotional. Louis nodded. “absolutely.” he said. Then he and Niall started to giggle.

11.30 a.m.

“Your presents were better than mine.” Niall stated. “nope yours were.” Louis said and he kissed Niall before the Irish boy could protest.

- the end -

“Why did you have to ruin my first date in ages?” Niall yelled annoyed. “Because she’s a bitch and it would ruin everything we’ve reached.” Liam shot back. “Oh yeah because everything is for the band’s sake!” Niall tried storm past Liam but his band mate grabbed his arm. “I can’t fucking stand the way you make everything about you.” Liam said. “Oh yeah.” Niall said “and I can’t stand the way you never let me finish.” Liam went on. Niall glared at his friend. “I can’t stand the way you steal my food and I can’t stand the way everybody loves you.” “They don’t love me!” Niall protested. “and I can’t the way you don’t ever fucking believe in yourself.” Liam said frustrated. “and why should I care that you obviously can’t stand me?” Niall asked. “because I can’t stand the way you don’t see how much I love you. I can’t the way you are so cute and amazing and I can’t stand that I love you, but I do love you, I love you a lot and if you don’t feel the same and wanna date that bitch you should definetely do that but I can’t fucking stand it and I can’t stand her.”  Liam said not even realising what he was saying. “oh and I can’t stand that you are so bloody gorgeous.” he added. Niall looked at him, blinked a few times and pinched himself. “You love me?” he then asked surprised. Liam nodded, “yeah.” he mumbled softly. Niall wrapped his arms around Liam and put his head on his friend’s chest. “That’s why you ruined my date, right?” Niall asked. “yeah.” Liam said. “Do you want to be my boyfriend?” Niall asked, smiling a little. “hell yeah.” Liam said happily. Niall looked up at Liam and kissed him passionately. 

3 months later…

“Well it’s Niall and mine 3 month anniversery and I wanted to play him a little song.” Liam said awkwardly. Niall looked surprised, but the others knew about it all along and the crowd went absolutely crazy. Liam smiled at Niall and started to sing.

Baby, I Love You
I never want to let you go
The more I think about
The more I want to let you know
That everything you do
Is Super Fucking Cute
And I can’t stand it.

Liam took Niall’s hand and stopped playing the guitar, so Louis took over, as had been the plan all along.

And I’ve been searching for a boy that was just like you
‘Cause I know, that your heart is true

Baby, I Love You
I never want to let you go
The more I think about
The more I want to let you know
That everything you do
Is Super Duper Cute
And I can’t stand it

Let’s sell all our shit
And run away
To sail the ocean blue
Then you’ll know
That my heart is true, YEAH!

Niall smiled because this song had always been kind of their song, even before they got togheter. Mid-performance Liam sneaked in a kiss on Niall’s cheek, making Niall blush deeply and making the crowd go even crazier.

Baby, I Love You
I never want to let you go
The more I think about
The more I want to let you know
That everything you do
Is Super Duper Cute
And I can’t stand it

And you-oo
You got me where you want me ‘cause I’ll do-oo
Anything to please you
Just to make it through
Another year

And you-oo
I saw you cross the room and I knew-oo
And I knew that this would blossom into something
Beautiful
Your Beautiful

Niall had gotten teary eyes. Liam gave Niall a tight hug and Niall rested his head on Liam’s chest. Liam softly sang the last two choruses of the song. 

Baby, I Love You
I never want to let you go
The more I think about
The more I want to let you know
That everything you do
Is Super Duper Cute
And I can’t stand it
And I can’t stand it
No, I can’t stand it

Baby, I Love You
I never want to let you go
The more I think about
The more I want to let you know
That everything you do
Is Super Duper Cute
And I can’t stand it
And I can’t stand it
No, I can’t stand it

“I love you.” Niall smiled, not caring about the amount of people that were around. “I love you too.” Liam smile was huge. Niall softly started to kiss Liam, and it wasn’t untill Zayn started to cough that they stopped. “sorry.” the boys mumbled blushing. Then they ran of stage hand in hand. 

-the end-
