Niall Horan Imagines

First I Love You

"Where are we going Niall? We've been walking for like an hour!" You complain as Niall walks briskly in front of you.

He had brought you to a small forest, brining you by saying there was a surprise waiting somewhere in the midst of the dark area, which honestly made you more nervous than excited.

He laughs at your whining, which only makes you whinier and says "Just a bit more, babe, we're almost there,"

You sigh out in defeat, knowing it had been at least the tenth time he had responded with the same answer and walked faster, trying to catch up with him.

After a while, unmistakably, the whole forest started turning darker. The trees were thicker and it seemed to be and endless maze. Your fear of the dark, along with mild
claustrophobia started to kick in, and a knot tightened in your stomach.

"Um, Niall?" You ask, quivering a little when a slightly threatening breeze pushes past you.

"Yeah, babe? Are you alright?" His voice was comforting, and safe sounding which made you a little calmer, knowing he was there. However, it didn't change the fact that he was walking faster and was quite a length ahead of you.

This may sound a little silly," you warned him, walking even faster, "But I need you to hold my hand," You beg in a pleading tone.

You hear the leaves crunching underneath his shoes come closer to you, and warm arms wrap around your shoulders. Sighing in relief, you lay your head on his shoulder.

"I'm right here, Y/N, nothin' to be scared of, okay?" he says in more of a statement manner, stroking your hair.

"As much as I love cuddling with you in the middle of the forest, you know, in the dark and all," he laughs, "We gotta get going before sunset,"

You nod and pull away letting his warmth fade off from your body, goosebumps forming on your arms.

Fortunately, he keeps your hand in his as you two start to walk, so you know he is there, if you get scared again.

As you walk further, the sun finally starts coming into view again, which makes you smile. It takes a few more steps to finally get near the destination, when Niall speaks up.

"Okay, this is a surprise, so I'll cover your eyes, okay?" Not wanting to argue, you let him guide you and you can feel a bit more light through his slender fingers, heart pacing increasingly as you heard loud sounds of water falling from a distance. Birds chirped, something you hadn't heard the sound of, and it was almost as if there was ambient music playing lowly in the background.

When he finally lets his arms drop, the sight you see is so beautiful that you are completely unable to make a sound except for the slight exhale of breath.

The waterfall which sparkles in the sun only adds to the serene view, the clear water splashing against the rocks, and falling into a clear stream at the bottom of the rocky hill you stood on. Needless to say, the sight was stunning enough for you to jump into your beaming boyfriends arms, who awaits your reaction behind you.

"What wrong, love?" He asks you, sounding a little nervous, as if his life depended on this decision up to you.

Looking at him, you realize just how beautiful he is. His freckles on his pale skin, and the slight blush on both his cheeks. The sun reflects in his eyes, a splendid blue peeking out beneath his lids.

"Nothing, Niall," you say, sighing as you tube to the sight, "There is literally nothing wrong with this. It's just, it's breathtaking,"

He strokes your hair, again, wrapping an arm around our waist as you watched the sun set behind the waterfall. He always did that, with your hair and you never minded it.

"I love it, Ni, you don't even know," you say giving him a small kiss on the cheek.

He smiles at you, his eyes crinkling on the sides, his hair falling perfectly from his quiff, the messy effect making you fall for him even more as every minute passed and clocks turned.

"And you know what else, baby," He says to you, making you smile at him on confusion.

"What?" You ask, looking him in the eye

"I love you."
