1D 1-Shots! (Closed)

Heart Attack (Natalie + Zayn/Niall)

Usually I keep these below 1000 words so they count as one-shots, but yours is a bit longer, so late merry christmas! :P Enjoy.

Harry's POV

The mall was bustling with movement and girls screamed as the boys and I sat down behind the signing table.

A random worker supplied us with Sharpies. 1D Sharpies. 

I let out a small laugh as the first girl came up to me.  I gave her one of my famous smiles and she looked ready to faint.

It's a wonder this stuff doesn't go to our heads!

I signed her poster and she moved down the line.

Half an hour and what seemed like hundreds of girls later, the signing was close to over. The last couple of girls were streaming in, and one caught my eye.

Well, really she caught Niall's eye, which is what made me watch her. 

If there was ever such a thing as love at first sight, I was watching it happen. 

As the girl came down to me, I smiled mischievously. "Hello, love! What's your name?" I asked. She replied happily, "I'm Natalie." "Well Natalie, a friend of mine seems to have a bit of a crush on you... would you mind staying until the end of the signing? I'd like you two to meet formally." She looked at me suspiciously, "Hopefully your friend is one of the other boys or else it sounds like I have a stalker." "Yeah, it is." I laughed. 

She smiled widely, "Yeah, I'll stay."

Natalie's POV

Did that really just happen? 

I moved back from the table, standing in a corner and waiting for the signing to end.

I cannot believe this.

Harry's POV

The signing officially ended and all of the girls were told to go home. The boys and I waved goodbye as we were ushered into a small group that security could cover easily. "Ummm, boys…" I started, not sure how they would react to my previous actions. "I kind of told a girl to stay after…" Liam looked at me in confusion, "You like her?" I shook my head, "No, she's not for me."

"Well could you be any more vague!" Louis exclaimed. 

I paused, looking for the right words to tell Niall that I was planning on setting him up, but when I looked up Zayn had disappeared. 

Well that can't be good.

Natalie's POV

The signing ended about twenty minutes later, and I felt kind of lost still standing there.  

I pulled out my phone and scrolled through my twitter timeline, trying to catch myself up on the latest news. 

"So, you're the one Harry was talking about?" A voice spoke out from in front of me. I recognized it and looked up to make sure my guess was correct. 

Zayn Malik was standing in front of me. 

He talked to me. Zayn Malik had a crush on me?

I probably smiled the most I have ever smiled. "That would be me." I replied. His smile was dazzling and I felt like melting. "How would you like to go out for coffee?" Zayn asked, holding his hand out. I laughed at his overexaggerated chivalry, "I'd like that.

About a month later

"No! I can do it. I have telekinetic powers I swear!" Louis yelled, waking Niall up from his nap. I laughed as Harry rolled his eyes and Louis continued trying to use the force on a red solo cup. 

I looked at it all, still in awe that these boys asked me to come along on tour with them. I mean yes, I may be Zayn's girlfriend, but still!

I watched Niall as he sat up, looking over at Zayn and I who were all snuggled up. His face flickered into an angry expression before it was masked. I gave him a confused look and he finally noticed I was watching him. He smiled, confused at what I was confused about, if that makes sense.

He then proceeded to move into the kitchen area of the flat we were in, probably making himself some sort of food. 

***

"Well Niall I'm sorry but too bad!" I heard a voice yell through the flat, disrupting my peaceful "Tumblr-ing." "How can you just say that?" Niall yelled back. The reply came quickly, "Dude, she's my girlfriend!"

Zayn. Zayn and Niall were fighting?

I slipped out of my bed, sneaking out my bedroom door. They were in the kitchen, the three other boys trying to calm them down. "I won't calm down!" Zayn started. "He says he's in love with my girlfriend!" 

I tried to suppress my gasp, but it came out anyways, and the whole room turned to look at me. My eyes widened and I looked down as if I was guilty of something. I honestly had no idea what to think or do, and that wasn't like me. Usually I would be able to crack a joke or fix the situation, but this was over my head. 

I left the room, staggering back into my own. I could hear Niall plead to Zayn, "Listen, I'm sorry and all, but ever since I saw her at the signing… I think it was love at first sight." Harry spoke next, "Originally, when I asked Natalie to stay after, I was going to set her up with Niall. I know that doesn't make you feel any better, but I want it to be out in the open. I... I didn't mean for you two to be together and honestly if you had waited a second this wouldn't be happening!"  

Zayn let out an angry growl, walking out of the flat.

Niall's POV

Well, look at how much I've screwed things up.

The Next Day

The tension in the room was so thick you could have cut it with a machete. The whole gang, including Zayn and Natalie, were sitting in the living room of the flat. 

It had been silent for at least 10 mintues when Zayn spoke up. I expected it to be something mean or protective, but it was the exact opposite. "I think I get it now. I mean, I've always understood, but I didn't want to so I blocked it from my mind." 

The whole room looked at him in confusion. 

"Oh come on, it was always pretty obvious that Niall liked Natalie, and I think it's obvious that Natalie likes Niall." he continued. Natalie looked surprised, but she didn't challenge him. "I'm not saying we didn't have something, Nats," he started again, directing the words at her. "But over time you grew away from me, and I can't keep you from him if you feel that way. Yeah, it's gonna hurt like hell seeing you two together, but it's what's right. Like Dumbledore says, 'Soon will come the time when we have to choose between what is easy, and what is right.'" he finished, adding a quote from his favorite movie. 

The room was stunned. I was stunned. He gave her up, for me? 

***

Later I found myself outside, thinking over what Zayn had said. The door opened and Natalie joined me. "You know," she started. "I think Zayn is completely right. I don't know how he knew all of that, but he was spot on." 

She moved closer to me, smiling. I returned the smile and did something I had wanted to do for a while. I kissed her.

It was something straight out of a Romance novel, and as the chemistry between us seeped into my veins, I sent a silent thank you to Zayn for giving me the best Christmas present I'd ever received.
