The sound of laughter and banter ricocheted between the lads downstairs.
It was a rare occasion that the 1D lads had a day off and could spend it however they wished.
Despite spending everyday with one another for the last 5 years, they still make time for each other and make sure to have quality time. And y/n was more than happy to accommodate that, she loved them 5 boys.
With messy hair, oversized hoodie and Pyjama bottoms that were tucked into her long fluffy socks y/n carelessly crept down the stairs not minding her state around the boys.
Harry was sitting straightly upright on the sofa, his elbows leaning on his knees as his eyes were glued to the Tv screen that played some video game they took in turn playing.
To his left sat Liam who was leaning comfortably across the sofa with his legs dangling over the matching ottoman that was perched in front of him.
Louis, Zayn and Niall were sat on the 3 seater sofa that sat adjacent to the one Liam and Harry occupied.
Once y/n crept in to living room to see what they were up to, all attention immediately sprung to her.
“Morning y/nnn” the four boys said in almost unison.
“Morning Boys” she yawned using her sweater paw to cover her mouth.
H couldn’t help but stare at the girl that was all his.
Even in the early mornings she still managed to look beautiful, she looked adorable wrapped in his hoodie, fluffy socks and hair down and ruffled.
“Y’alright angel?” He asked all eyes and focus on her.
“Yeah” she smiled glancing at the 5 boys lazing in the room.
“I’ll make us coffee” she yawned once again. And slipping away to the kitchen.
“Need any help love?” Louis called
“M’okay thanks Tommo” she answered.
“I’ll go” Harry interjected swiftly placing his phone done and hurrying to the girls aid.
“Whipped” Liam jokingly remarked
“Oi i heard that payno” he answered taking a quick look at Liams smiley face.
Harry was quick to wrap his arms around the girls waist as she flicked the kettles and prepped the cups.
“G’Morning” he whispered in her ear pressing tiny kisses to the side of her face.
“Morning” she sweetly replied, blushing at his actions
“Sorry couldn’t stay f’mornin cuddles” he pouted.
“S’fine, we get to deal with these cuties anyway” she said referring to 4 giggling men in there sitting room.
“Heeeyyyy, am I not cute enough?” He said holding her waist tighter and pressing his lips to her neck.
“Y’know what I mean” she giggles.
“Hmm m’not sure I do” he said kisses going higher up her face.
“Oi keep it PG yeah?” Zayn called, the rest of the boys immediately sniggering.
“Bloody hell” he said closing his eyes a smile showing.
— — — — —
The boys carried on with there game that took place the flat Tv that sat on the wall.
Though to be honest even if y/n had no clue what was going on, seeing them get competitive against each other and joke around made her heart happy.
Y/n leaned against the doorframe watching all the boyish banter unfold.
Harry determined that wasn’t close enough.
“C’mere m’darling” he says patting his lap.
Y/n knew the boys wouldn’t mind, so she accepted his offer.
His back leaned against the sofa, as y/n perched herself on his lap comfortably.
She then leaned onto his chest, legs still dangling over his knees and head resting just on top on his shoulder.
Allowing that safe familiar scent to take over.
As the day continued laughs and jokes were made.
Y/n’s phone starts going off a Bit more than usual.
“Baby y’phones going mental” Harry says slinging his arm out lazily to reach it for her.
She opens it which leads her to Twitter to reveal a post Niall had made.
It was a snapshot of the couple on the sofa, the timing being to perfect that it captured harry pressing a kiss to the girls forehead.
The caption read: look at these lovers.
It was safe to say Twitter was going feral.
“Niall! You shitter!” She jokes, very much loving the photo.
“Let’s see” Harry said moving the girls hand with his own.
“Heeeyyy, y’caught me in my most vulnerable state” he smiled, pressing another kiss to the girls hairline.
“S’pretty damn cute if I say so myself” Louis smiled, scrolling down Twitter.
Harry then presumes to retweeting the photo which further leads the fandom into frenzy, many of this is them trying to work out who y/n is, how long they’ve been a thing, them gushing over how adorable boyfriend Harry is.
Y/n was glad he was all hers.
— — — — —
As the day progressed, the boys and y/n spent the day at home with continuous banter and laughs.
“Mmm I love you” he said pressing a kiss to the girls cheek after closing the door to the boys who had just left.
“I love you” she replied.
“M’social batteries dead though” she sighed.
“Looks like m’just gonna havta cuddle you then hey?” He said plopping down next to her and leaning his head on her lap.
The Tv played some random drama that caught the attention of y/n, her fingers playing with his long curls that splayed all over her lap.
“Y’so pretty” he randomly admits
“Y’are” he said eyes scanning her features, as best he could considering he was under her chin.
“Harryyyyy” she dragged.
“Don’t start this, y’know y’gorgeous” she blushed.
“I love you my sweet girl” he said, melting into her soft and loving touches.
“Love you more than life”’
“Love you too Harry”
“I do” she mumbled
As they sat in comfortable silence feeding into the programme on the TV.
Y/n’s phone pinged allowing her screen to light up, the random light in the corner of his eye made Harry glance at it, and he wasn’t expecting to see the newly posted photo to be her lock screen.
“Baby?” he wondered
“Hmm” she hummed.
“Is that photo your lock screen?” He smiled.
“Maybe”

Bit crappy ending but I hope you enjoy nonetheless! ❤️

surprise party for liam arranged by zouis
When Liam walks inside, he's a bit confused as to why no one else is inside. The lights are off, and nobody is in sight. Until it hit him. His birthday is in a few days. What else could it be?
"Surprise!"
There it is.
Liam laughs a bit, trying to act surprised about the party. It was well planned, he can tell. He doesn't want the others to be disappointed about not surprising him. "You guys did all this?" He asks. He's grateful for it, even if he hadn't been too surprised.
Harry shakes his head and shoves Louis forward with a laugh, and Niall does the same to Zayn. "Not all of us," Harry says with a grin. "These two fuckers have been plannin' it for a while," Niall laughs.
Liam looks over to the two, raising a brow, a grin on his face. "Really? I didn't know you two were capable of such things," he teases. "Thank you, though. I really appreciate it."
Zayn chuckles, and walks over to Liam, planting a quick kiss on his lips. "Happy birthday, Li."
Louis rolls his eyes, a bit of a disgusted look on his face, although everyone knows he's not actually that bothered by it. Liam snickers, motioning for Louis to come over. "Ah, come here, mate. I'm still waiting for my birthday hug."
Louis lets out a groan, but comes over to Liam, giving him a tight hug. "There. Happy?"
"Very," Liam grins. "Thanks, mate, really."
Louis chuckles and lets go of Liam, ruffling his hair. "Yeah, yeah. Just go enjoy your party. And Zayn later," he smirks.
Liam rolls his eyes, though a slight blush makes its way to his cheeks.
"Happy birthday, Payno," Louis grins, giving Liam one last pat on the shoulder before leaving him with Zayn.
Zayn turns back to Liam, giving him another kiss. "I love you, Li. Happy birthday."

There are so many Louis-centric ships! Everyone has faves, but have you ever wondered which one is superior? Well, you don’t have to think too hard about this anymore! 
Introducing, the ‘who should Louis Tomlinson date?’ bracket tournament, brought to you by @seasurfacefullofclouds1, @silverfoxlou​ and @tomlinsno​! We’ve put 16 wonderful bachelors (list and descriptions under the cut) against each other, for a chance to win the most coveted prize possible: a date with Louis Tomlinson! (not really, we wish...) 
Vote for your faves by using the link above, but be quick! Each round is only open for a limited time. 
Round 1: open until 5 Dec. Midnight ET
Round 2: open until 7 Dec. Midnight ET
Round 3: open until Dec. Midnight ET
Round 4: open until 11 Dec. Midnight ET
After each round, we’ll announce which candidates have advanced to the next round. And, finally, we’ll crown the winner the day of the livestream! 
On the website, you can click on eaach picture to enlarge and have a better look.
Tumblr media
Oli Wright: Louis’ bestie since childhood, Mr. Ginger is never more than an elbow-length away. Chiquitita, tell us your secret, BFF doesn’t really stand for what we think, does it?
VS
Steve Aoki: DJ, musician, and entrepreneur. He called Louis’ fans an army of bees, but this long-haired, smooth talking DJ has the whole fandom buzzing. What happened in that private plane, Stevo?
Tumblr media
Liam Payne: if six packs could kill, Payno is armed and dangerous. Louis has already checked him out front and back and sideways, and as much as he takes the piss, Louis would never say no to a Lilo cuddle.
VS
Zayn Malik: the one who got away, the long-lashed shy beauty, the prettiest one who was secretly in love with the jock, all those lighthearted “Love you, Boo”s actually translate to, “I love you, Lou.” A soulmate’s connection is never broken. You know what to do
Tumblr media
Jurgen Klopp: this Premiere League super manager is described as advocating “heavy metal” football, but the only music he’ll be making is in the studio with our fav five-a-side tenor. We know who really got Louis into Borussia Dortmund— a silver fox whose name rhymes with “Hot Pop.”
VS
Greg James:  this dreamboat is now five mornings a week at Radio One, which means 20% more chances for him to flutter eyelashes across the switchboard to try to get Louis to say Big B* C* — oh dear. Louis does lose his powers of concentration around this flaxen-haired cutie.
Tumblr media
Marcus Rashford: 22 and fit, a professional football player, and dedicated to ending child food poverty in the UK. Artificial intelligence couldn’t really design a better boyfriend for Louis, could it? 
VS
David Allen: having grown up with Louis, David shared a beef with the geography teacher, but what a hunk of beef he is now! What was in the Donny waters the year they were born? Whatever it was, we want some.
Tumblr media
Tom Holland: this 24-year-old hunk stars in Spider-Man Homecoming and kills lip-syncing to Rihanna. His fav 1D man is ... Louis naturally, like everyone with taste. A superhero and a dancer, who could say no?
VS
Jack Saunders: usually it’s dry as dead leaves, but did we detect a bit of man-on-man flirting at BBC Radio when Jack talked indie artists with Louis? There was lyric appreciation, there was music history, there was a bit of The Strokes vs. The Killers drama, everything a friends-to-lovers epic should be.
Tumblr media
Chad Michael Murray: the OG I-watch-your-show-religiously-because-of-YOU crush, the one that made Louis speechless, the one he wore his coolest outfit to meet, real cas-like, no big, just the only one from One Tree Hill whom Louis fucking adored, the one to speed up his pulse and ask for a selfie with. THAT Chad.
VS
Michael Blackwell: who’s tall, dark, handsome, can absolutely shred on a guitar, shy around Louis, and drinks responsibly on New Year’s Eve? Shut up, it’s this smoldering hunk of British pineapple with a sweet juicy core. Cut us a slice, mister!
Tumblr media
Jojo Wright: much more than a shoulder for a poop tattoo, Jojo makes Louis laugh so hard that no sound comes out. He would scoot Louis up to the main iHeart stage all day, and then bundle Louis into his heart.
VS
Hot Friend Luke: admit it, you’ve thought about Louke, you’re thinking about Louke right now. Stop thinking those thoughts and vote your conscience! Who makes Louis lose his train of thought, who holds him, who goes to rallies and festivals with him, who gives him a giggle like that. Vote Louke.
Tumblr media
Sam Fender: Will they talk? If these two date, no one will ever understand a conversation again. At any rate, it’s a moot point, as bystanders will be mesmerized by their dueling cheekbones.
VS
Sam Claflin: not so fast, this 34-year-old British dreamboat first laid eyes on his fav 1D dude Louis Tomlinson in 2014. Both of them have matured since then. Maybe their twinkling eyes and dueling jawlines are a match made in heaven.

Happy Fan Fic Writer Appreciation Day 2020!
In honor of this day, here are the first lines of fics written by just some of my favorite One Direction fan fic writers! I have so many more favorites that it hurts me to stop here. The fan fic writers in our fandom are truly amazing! You can find previous year’s lists and my other recs here. 
༺♥༻ Thank you writers! ༺♥༻
💕 With a quiet dinner party creating background noise, Louis stands on the edge of his rooftop terrace, enjoying the twilight view.
💕 Harry’s first step onto Ryde soil feels more momentous than it is. 
💕 Harry wakes like he often does on a Saturday: to the sound of Louis crashing through the house.
💕 The persimmons smelled like come.
💕 The wind howls early in the morning, a comforting lullaby for a man who has lived on Fair Isle for almost a decade. 
💕 Harry spots Louis Tomlinson as soon as he walks into the party.
💕 It happened, as most stupid, momentous mistakes tended to happen, when Louis was drunk.
💕 I’d like an Earl Grey with milk and sugar, please.
💕 The day Harry came back to school only to be greeted by every girl from year seven to year thirteen screaming his name, Louis skipped English and hid out in the music room with Miss McClusky.
💕 This isn’t happening.
💕 Harry Styles is now, officially and without dispute, an adult. 
💕 “You know, I think being cheated on is definitely a positive thing.”
💕 At some point during the night Harry had wandered off in search of something to eat only to be distracted by the pretty line of shot glasses that Niall was lining up on the counter.
💕 Emergency Help Wanted I lied when I got my job.
💕 An early autumn wind whipped through the trees, cutting through the thin plaid wrapped around Harry’s shoulders.
💕 He couldn’t open his eyes.
💕 The blaring of his phone at top volume yanks Harry out of a deep sleep.
💕 Louis might just be going crazy.
💕 The subway emerges from the tunnel and Harry squints at the sudden sunlight streaming in through the windows and overpowering the relentless fluorescents.
💕 I’m stressed. I’m nesting and demand cuddles. Come over
💕 As Harry heads back into his neighborhood on the last leg of his evening run, he sees a shining, white panel truck parked in front of the neighbors.
💕 Louis was young enough that he didn’t recall war times the same way his parents and the other adults in his country did.
💕 “Move your arse, Payno! The waves won’t last forever!” Louis’ voice reverberated through the wooden cottage, booming off the plank walls, filling the corners with his own brand of sunshine.
💕 The sun is just settling into the sky above as Louis drags his feet through the uncut grass.
༺♥༻
Thank you for all your beautiful stories...
@taggiecb @bottomlinsons @ham-palpert @100percentsassy @gloriaandrews @mediawhorefics @turnyourankle @loveletterharry @2tiedships2 @magicalrocketships @crinkle-eyed-boo @londonfoginacup @littlelouishiccups @fallinglikethis @all-these-larrythings @goodmorningtoyouuniverse @becomeawendybird @hereforlou @kingsofeverything @lululawrence @louandhazaf @sadaveniren @phd-mama @jaerie @laynefaire @gaycousinlarry

N.H ASK 1 - tequila sunrise N.H X FEM!READER
An afternoon with the boys is what you expected on the sunny bank holiday; it was a rare occasion that everyone was in London. You had decided to host impromptu drinks on the roof of your building. The sun’s heat shone down from the moment it licked the surface of London’s outskirts at dawn that morning. The glass shards warmed quickly making your alternative looking flat warm, almost sauna like.
You had made a quick effort to prepare minimal beverages as you knew the boys would bring their own. Your flat was relatively small yet housed you and your best friend Anita perfectly. She wasn’t around much pulling long shifts at St Pancras Hospital so that meant you often had the space to yourself. You didn’t host marvellous parties or spontaneous get-togethers like today’s event often, most of your time between reading novels for the publishing company you worked for was or spent watching crime dramas to the late am. But this august bank holiday was the first in perhaps years that Anita didn’t have to work.
Anita, a tall and thin creature, long ginger hair which subjected her to the odd ginger joke of course. She had dark green eyes which ensured her uncanny resembled to cartoon character: Kim Possible. However, this did mean she went as Kim Possible every year for Halloween.
“Doll?” she called from down the hallway. You liked this flat a lot; the bedrooms were across from each other and yet both were spacious. You had the roof flat so unlike every other flat you didn’t have the access to a balcony, so the landlord had given you access to the roof. You and Anita had lived there for 5 years which meant your bank holidays had been spent doing up the roof and previously shattered greenhouse for your use. “I’m gonna take the ice buckets up – you gonna be okay?” she asked, smiling at you as she filled up the flimsy plastic buckets with weird side handles with ice and water. You nodded, mixing the last of the tequila in your pitcher of tequila sunrise. The amount of alcohol in these jugs would put you in the hospital if you consumed them alone.
You had gotten out 7 glasses to hold cocktails, each with a different coloured umbrella, one with stripes on from the last party you had hosted last year; you had also chopped up various complimentary fruits to go with the drinks and some carrots to dip in some homemade hummus. You brushed yourself down, the boys would be arriving soon and that would be chaotic from the second they stepped foot indoors.
Anita had convinced you to wear a pretty dress with your sandals rather than melting in your jeans and t-shirt. It was something you had purchased on sale a while back – completely on a whim. It was a short maxi dress, the straps crossed at the back; the dress itself was white but was covered in sunflowers, you had a pair of worn orange Birkenstocks on with matching nail polish on your nails. Despite having good company, you didn’t bother with much makeup or anything too full on with your hair – you just shoved it up in something in between a bun and ponytail.
As if on cue there was a knock at the door, evident commotion happening outside. You walked over and opened the door with ease; the boys never seemed to get you starstruck anymore, to you they were normal people.
“’Ello” Louis called, patting you on the back as he put some beers in your fridge and crisps on your countertop. You greeted Harry while he was mid carrot – a snack he knew you had gotten purposely for him. “Payno” you called hugging Liam who harboured more alcohol, this time with mixers as well.
“where’s goldilocks?” you asked, Niall had recently used a box dye in his hair, and it had gone a bit bright before a hairdresser had snuck into a hotel room and fixed it for him. That was, of course, before he regrettably sent a picture to you, who had later put it in the group chat where it was meme’d. Louis laughed at your nickname,
“on his way, had errands or something” he replies nonchalantly. The boys helped themselves to the drinks and made their way to the roof. They had been in your flat more times than you could count. During the world cup you had found yourself watching it with Tommo and Payno getting a little too aggressive when your preferred team wasn’t doing so well.
You ushered the boys to the roof while you waited on Niall. He was never usually late, if anything that was usually Louis.
“oi tommo, take some of this booze up, yeah?” you called, not turning back to him to see if he took anything but presumed from the brief ruckus he did. You fumbled around the flat looking for some sun cream and sunglasses but disturbing the search was the sound of the door opening and quickly shutting again.
“You’re late Horan” you called, not looking behind to him until you had found the things you were looking for.
“Sorry, perfection takes time” he shoots back, his wit - dry as always
“Yet you’re still so far from it” you snort, eventually greeting him. He hugs you briefly before giving you a bunch of flowers; tulips, your favourite, a bunch of red and orange ones.
“you like ‘em, pet?” he asks, you nod a little with a smile. “still your favourite then?”
“yeah, something like that Nialler. The boys are upstairs so head up when you’re ready” you inform him. You grab a glass vase from the cupboard beneath the sink, filling it with fresh water. You notice in your own company that these aren’t just shop-brought, but from a florist. You appreciated the sentiment, but Niall had several zeros in his bank account so you knew he could afford random trips to the florist.
When you reached the roof, the others had put on some background music and were already joking around with each other. You took the remaining seat in between Anita and Niall, sipping on your glass of tequila sunrise – something which cause you to meet your demise. The sun rays warmed your skin, something you basked in. You adored the sun, always trying to spend as much time in it as possible.
The song changed to Taylor Swift’s 22 and you just laughed to yourself.
“sorry curly, this gotta be awkward for ya” you joked, Harry just rolled his eyes before shaking his head.
“nah, she didn’t write this one about me” he humoured you, taking a pseudo-angry bite from a carrot stick. You listened more to the to and fro, seeing Anita exchange in light-hearted conversation with Liam and Harry was nice- it was rare she let her hair down for more than five minutes. You squirted some sun cream into your hand as you felt your skin getting warm; you got your legs fine and your arms but knew you would have to ask for help on your back – your eyes flicked to Anita who was deep in conversation, then to niall on your left, he seemed content on his phone.
“hey Nialler, do us a favour?” you asked, he turned off his phone placing his focus on you. “do me back?” you asked, smiling widely at him. He nodded with no pushback; his hands were calloused from playing the strings yet were gentle on your skin.
“can I move the straps?” he asked, you nodded, he fiddled with the straps of your dress rubbing the cream into your back and shoulders slowly ensuring he was covering the exposed skin.
“ay up what we missed? Nialler is feeling up our resident geek” Tommo shouts from the other side of the circle of chairs, a grin on his face. The rest of the group turns to see what he’s going on about.
“it’s the luck of the Irish, not every day I get to touch a shoulder” jokes Niall. You lean towards the direction Louis was sat in before announcing:
“It’s the accent really” you flirted with great ease and choosing to wink at Tommo who just shakes his head turning back to his conversation with Harry. His interest was lost after your response, you hadn’t bitten in the way he wanted. You leant back into Niall’s touch, relaxing beneath it. He finished up a couple of moments later, closing the cap of the bottle with a sharp snap. “thank you” you supply with a genuine smile.
“what’s the latest read?” he asks, it’s not often you’re asked about your work from anyone but Anita, so his query takes you by surprise.
“I always get lumbered with the romance novels” you complain, “suppose it’s the apparent trail of broken hearts I leave behind” you joke, he looks confused, “one of my co-workers hit on me and I tried to reject him nicely but he didn’t get the hint”
“oh” Niall replies, you continue,
“he was nice enough but he’s not the calibre of man that I usually go for”
“calibre of man?” he laughed, saying it a little louder then you would’ve liked.
“yeah, I’ve got standards” you retort. He is still laughing at your phrasing, so you sip more of your drink to wait it out. You slipped your feet out of your sandals and rested them upon his lap, he stopped laughing shortly after your action. You remembered to keep your legs closed as you weren’t wearing shorts beneath the dress.
“oh yeah? Giv’ us ya check list, am sure we know a bloke for our bookworm” he asks, waiting out your initial hesitance.
“natural brunettes; tattoo free and Irish. Know anyone?” you asked, teasing him on purpose, “doesn’t sound like anyone I know” he barks, his laugh overshadowing the rest of the chatter. You heard Louis mumble something which earned the others laugh but you felt the moment to ask him to repeat himself had passed.
“nah, no one I know at least” he finally announced, still laughing at you. Your cheeks had tinged. “I like your dress” he adds.
You notice now it’s a little low cut, you hadn’t realised it, but it really showed your cleavage – especially with the bra you were wearing. “not too much?” you ask, still feeling a little uneasy in it.
“nah, look’s good.” He confirmed, “wearing it for any reason”
“Anita” you replied quickly, “I brought it ages ago and she seems to think today is the best occasion for it” he is tapping the beat of the song on your legs, an action which didn’t go unnoticed by you.
“she’s right” he mutters, “‘s a good look” you nod not knowing what to do with the information, so you sip the last bit from your drink. You move to go refill it but harry stops you, taking your empty glass from your hands.
“stay love, I’ll do it”
“thanks H, you gem” you return, you smile at him before looking back to Niall. Anita however doesn’t let this moment lasts when she pulls you up to dance. You had met Anita when you went to university together; she was studying nursing and you studied English literature. Avril Lavigne’s Girlfriend switched on, it had been in the charts in your last year of uni and countless nights out had started with this playing while you got ready. You jumped and sang with her, no care in the world. Liam had gotten up to twirl you both about; Tommo watched from his chair when Harry had returned and joined in. the song ended in laughter all around, you sat on Niall’s lap, resting your head on his shoulder – his hands rested either on your leg or waist.
“why didn’t you come dance?” you asked.
“I ‘aven’t had enough to drink to do tha’” he replied, you shook your head in disbelief.
“drink up then as I’m getting the shots” you told him, vacating his person to bring up shot glasses and the various spirits you had to do shots with.

When you had returned to the roof another body had arrived, it must’ve happened while you rooted around for spirits in the pantry.
“Capaldi! Thought you’d got lost” you cheered, awkwardly side hugging him while balancing everything else on a tray. You poured shots and everyone did a few rounds to feel the buzz. Niall was talking deeply with Lewis, so you went over to Louis and Harry to see what had captured their attention.
They were discussing Harry’s sister, her new boyfriend or something you gathered.
“hey” you said, waving a little as you sat beside Louis.
“what can I do for ya’” Tommo asked, you laughed,
“nothin’ just couldn’t corrupt our church boy for much longer” you taunted; Louis laughed at your remark.
“tha’s good, I like tha’” he comments, Harry speaks next.
“you publishin’ anything I’d like?”
“nah, H. I promised I’d text if there was anything of your taste” you remind him, he doesn’t really respond. “how is my favourite styles anyway?”
“I’m alright” harry jokes, you scoffed rolling your eyes, knowing he’d bite regarding your comment about Gemma.

The evening passed in an alcohol induced haze; despite being late Lewis had tried to catch up on the alcohol consumption and was significantly more drunk then the rest of the guests at your social gathering. The atmosphere was relaxed, Anita lounged across Harry and Louis who were in deep conversation; Liam was on the phone in the corner speaking passionately to whoever had captured his attention while Niall and Lewis barked with contagious laughter in the seat Niall had claimed since he arrived.
you held your glass high and navigated around the chairs and empty bottles over to the clowns making more noise than everyone else combined.
“hey guys” you chirp, taking a seat beside Lewis. Niall, while listening to Lewis’ anecdote fixes his glance on you, it lingers for a few seconds shared with a soft smile before Lewis’ hand gestures grabbed his attention again. Niall had briefly excused himself which earned Lewis’ joking with your usual banter until Niall returned to match it.
The sun had long gone, and a breeze filled the air; goose bumps littered your skin, and would no doubt cause a shiver or chattering of your teeth if you didn’t equip yourself with an extra layer. Before you could do such a chore Niall returned baring a cup of tea in your favourite mug and his hoodie which he had discarded earlier on that afternoon.
“’ere” he passes the hoodie to you which you take no time in slipping on before carefully handing you the mug.
“how’d you know I was gonna go get a jumper?” you asked bewildered, slightly laughing at the coincidence of it all. Niall shrugged, “just know ya, I guess” he mumbles while he takes the seat he occupied before. You mouthed a quick thank you as to not interrupt Lewis’ resumed story to Niall.
The first to leave was Liam, soon after his departure people started yawning and stopped drinking; Harry and Louis left thirty and forty-five minutes after Liam which just left Niall, Lewis, Anita and yourself.
The party had taken itself naturally back indoors, Anita was half asleep on the couch as she had since changed into her pyjamas and cozied up beneath a knitted blanket she had purchased from John Lewis on sale a week prior, Lewis was dozing next to her and Niall and yourself lounged on smaller couch together – the seat was really meant for one yet you almost always seemed to fit both of you on there, you always found yourself cuddled into Niall’s grasp and quite often with a stolen layer from him.
“wha’ you doing tomorrow, blondie?” you asked, looking up at him in such proximity.
“well I was hopin’ that you’d wanna do something” he replied, his voice quiet, “jus’ me and you” you beamed up at him.
“I’d love that” you whispered back; he smiles.
“don’t put it in the group chat Tommo will only take the piss” he states after, not meeting your gaze.
“that’s okay Nialler, don’t want them crashing like they did last time” you laughed lightly, he just smiles squeezing you. You just rest your eyes basking in the warmth and the flowing serotonin that is coupled with hugging someone with such intimate affection.
You were, and are always, content when you were with Niall.

Why is Harry the one that’s trending when Liam is the one that went live?
