"So, what were you actually doing before I came?" Zayn asks getting the last noodle on his plate.
"I'm pretty sure I already told you Zayn"
Zayn gets up from his chair, grabbing his plate "Yeah, that was the lie" says opening dishwasher and placing the plate inside. "I'd like to know what you were actually doing" clarifies raising his eyebrows.
Niall sighs, stabbing his barely-eaten noodles. "You're going to laugh if I tell you."
Niall and Zayn had lived together for two years now and they've known each other since they can remember, and Zayn knew of his preferences towards the same sex, but that wasn't what Niall was scared about.
He thought that the simply act of having to create a profile on a dating site to finally get a boyfriend was pathetic and embarrassing.
"Oh c'mon" Zayn pressed on "You know I'd never laugh, you're my best friend Niall. What is it?"
Niall took a deep breath and looked down. "I joined a dating website" he quickly mumbled under his breath.
Zayn furrowed his eyebrows. "What? I didn't quiet catch that."
Niall thought that if he didn't tell him now he'd have to tell him eventually anyways, he might laugh, make fun of him, but at least it would be over with.
The blonde looked back up with an annoying look and clearly stated "I joined a dating website.. To like, meet people and stuff."
Zayn's jaw literally dropped and Niall only wanted to drop down to the floor and just lie there forever.
Zayn must have noticed Niall's face because he quickly came back to himself and smiled brightly "Niall, that's actually really good! You could meet someone that you like and maybe go on a date and stuff, that's amazing. You haven't been dating anyone for like years and it will be really good for you"
"Jeez, thank you for reminding me I haven't dated anyone in years; makes me feel amazing"
It's not like Niall wasn't good looking, or was boring, or didn't have a good personality. Because he did. But he just wasn't any lucky when it came to relationships, even though he had tried to start some, it never seemed to happen.
"I'm sorry" Zayn chuckled. "You know what I mean. Have you met anyone yet?"
Niall frowned "No. I barely made the profile Zayn, I haven't checked it since you came home"
"You have to check it right now!" The dark haired boy exclaimed, quickly going to the living room, grabbing the laptop and running back to the kitchen. "I can't believe you are not excited to see if you got any matches" says moving the cold-forgotten plate of noodles to the side to place the laptop.
Niall sighed and opened the laptop putting his password and both boys saw the website come up again.
"It says that you have 3 matches already, look!" Zayn pointed to where it said that he had 3 matches, despite the fact that Niall clearly already read it.
Annoyed, Niall clicked to see the 3 matches. The first one was bald guy that was most likely 60 years old, they had a 80% match.
"That guy looks like a creep, and too old" Niall scrunched up his nose in disgust.
The next one was a 30 year old guy that seemed decent, they had a 60% match.
"Not bad at all." Zayn commented, which to Niall agreed with a nod.
The third guy was an also 21 year old guy, that did not have a picture up. They had a 100% match.
"Wow, what the hell?" Zayn's eyes widen. "Is that even possible?"
"Uhm, I guess it is..." Niall said confused. "He doesn't even have a picture though. What if he's a 70 year old creep?"
Zayn laughed. "Well, talk to him and figure it out. You guys are a definite match anyhow."
Niall contemplated the idea for a few moments "You know what, I'll do it! I have nothing to lose." said pressing the chat button next to the guy's name that read 'Harry'.
"Amazing!" Zayn beamed. "That's the Niall I like, confident Niall!" He patted Niall's head.
"Whatever" Niall groaned moving his head away from Zayn's hand and typing out a simple message to 'Harry'.
'Hey, I'm Niall. I saw that we are a 100% match, so I thought I would say hi.'
