Always the Bestfriend
Take Out
“I want, I want, I want, to be loved by you”
I want was the last song on their setlist. When they finished you see the boys run off stage towards you. Harry grabs your arm and you run with them towards the exit and into their tour bus. Thank God you never wore heels.
Their adrenaline rush hasn’t worn off yet and all five of them were bouncing all over the place, raving about how great the show was. You can’t help but join in and point out specific times you thought were an absolute laugh.
“Haz, that must have been the 100th time you’ve fallen on stage.” you say and the boys laugh
“Really hope someone’s got it on camera, that’ll be all over twitter tomorrow!” Liam adds.
“Oh sod off will you?” Harry directs this at Liam
“Think was funny, eh?” Harry says laughing while grabbing you into a tight embrace and tickling your sides
Liam and Zayn exchange funny looks, while Louis looks nervously at Niall who at that moment chose to pretend to be interested in something outside the tour bus window.
You manage to free yourself from Harry and sit yourself between him and Niall. You notice Niall has been uncharacteristically quiet so you decide to break the ice by saying, “Hey who’s up for take out? Can’t deprive our little leprechaun here, can we? Been almost 2 hours since he’s last eaten!”
The boys agree and you manage to get a smile out of Niall. You decide to take that as an opportunity and give him a little cuddle in the hopes that that might cheer him up. He lets out his signature laugh, and you’re happy that that did the trick. You hated it when any of your boys felt down.
You and the boys decide to get McDonald’s drive thru. While you were waiting for your turn to order, you notice Harry’s phone was blowing up with message alerts. “Whoa, someone’s determined to get a hold of you.” you say.
“Uhh, it’s nothing.” Harry replies.
“Nothing?! You and her have been texting nonstop for weeks now!” Louis says in an offended tone.
“Yeah bro. I hear you late at night in your bunk snickering too. Some of us want to sleep you know.” Zayn adds laughing.
It’s the first time you’ve heard of this, and you can’t deny it stings a bit. Harry has always been a big flirt ever since you knew him, but he was never one to follow it up with long exchanges of text messages. As far as you knew, the only girls Harry’s kept in constant contact with was always just you, Anne and Gemma. But it seems like that’s changed, and ‘for weeks now’ according to Louis.
“Y/N?” Harry asks in a concerned tone. You must have been quiet longer than you thought, so you scramble to save face and say, “So who’s the unlucky girl?” in tone much too cheerful than you intended.
“She wears short skirts, I wear T-shirts, She’s cheer captain…” Liam started to sing.
And all you could say was, “No way…” as your heart sank for the second time tonight.
Felt like everyone was struggling to find the right words to say, and there was an awkward silence that made your cheeks burn with embarrassment. You must have looked so silly fooling around with Harry tonight, laughing as he tickled you and genuinely being happy because you missed him so much and you were finally together. “What an idiot” you say to yourself
Still the silence droned on until “So Y/N, it’s a large coke, large french fries and a cheeseburger for you right?” Niall asks.
And you could not have been more thankful for your Irish best friend than at that moment, you flash a grateful smile at Niall “You forgot something else, Horan. Im offended” you joke.
“Hold the pickle on that burger” Niall winks and you laugh. It was no surprise Niall’s got your order memorized by heart, what with all the late night take out you two get. You go over to Niall and the window where the cashier was handing out your order, partly because you remembered you haven’t eaten anything since breakfast and was starving but mostly because you just couldn’t stand Harry staring at you since the conversation about his new fling started anymore.
Niall hands you your take out and hands the rest of the boys’ theirs.
For the rest of the drive it felt Niall was determined to distract you with hilarious stories from the time you spent apart while Louis, Liam and Zayn kept badgering Harry for details on how he and Taylor were doing.
When the tour bus came to a stop at your hotel, you and Niall were the last ones to alight but before you do,
“Ni, thank you…”
You didn’t have to say what for, Niall just replies with a smile
“I got you, love.”
He says back looking into your eyes with those deep blues of his, and you smile back. Your heart feeling a little less heavy than it was just a few moments ago.
