His Best Friend Likes You

----------
Harry: Looking back on it, Harry should have figured that Will's all too willingness to spend time with you as a sign. The two of you are out with his friends at a club in Holmes Chapel, shaking your hips against Harry to the beat of the music as you stand at the bar. Will is watching the two of you; well, watching you more than Harry. You're not drinking for the night because somebody has to drive you and Harry home. Harry is at the bar as you sit at the booth with Will and he's suddenly leaning across the table into your space. "You know... you're so beautiful" he tells you loudly and you widen your eyes. "If Harry can't ever satisfy you, I sure could" he says again. "I'm going to forget you said that to her and write this off as you're drunk" Harry says from his spot at the end of the table. From that night on, Harry is careful not to leave you alone with Will; not because he's insecure but because he doesn't want to beat the fuck out of his best friend for hitting on you again.

Liam: "I don't think Liam would go for that Andy, sorry" you say one night after Liam's best friend asked you to be his love interest in a new video. "It's harmless, you just lay there looking all wanton and what not and I do all the rest" Andy pushes and you shake your head. "Andy, I can't. That's too inappropriate" you say again and Andy sighs. "How is it that Liam gets the hottest ones? I love the guy but honestly, I always thought he'd be somewhat of a bore in the sack" Andy scoffs. "Are you alright?" you question Liam's best friend. "I liked you first! That's what's wrong with me! I saw you first but Liam made a move, he just swept in and BAM, you were his" Andy shouts before storming away, leaving you confused and upset.

Niall: "Uh... Sean, what are you doing?" you question as Sean slides closer to you. "Sitting closer to hear you better" he says like it's obvious. You look around the backyard for Niall, spotting him by the fire pit but he's too far away to tell you're uncomfortable with his best friend. "I can hear you just fine" you tell him, scooting away again only for him to follow until you have no where to go. "Come on love, you know how I feel. You can't deny that you feel the same" he tells you, reaching up to push your hair behind your ear. "Sean, don't. You're Niall's best friend and I'm his girlfriend" you say strongly, pushing his hand away from you. He's leaning down to kiss you when a fist connects with the side of his face. "Get out Sean, before I decide to beat the fuck out of you" Niall seethes as everyone around the backyard stares at the scene. It takes several months for Niall to allow himself to see Sean again and it takes even longer for him to forgive his mate for what he had tried to do.

Louis: Stan had been around lately and you couldn't figure out why. Yes, Lou was in for a bit of a break but Stan had shown up at your house every day for the past week, which never happened. Lou was also confused by his friend's actions but just thought that he wanted to hang out a lot since they hadn't been together in a while. You were in the kitchen prepping for Lou's return from a meeting with the label when you heard the door open. "I'm in the kitchen." You shout. But to your surprise it was Stan that had walked in and not your boyfriend. "Oh, hi Stan. Didn't realize you were coming over this afternoon. Are you going to stay for dinner?" you ask wondering if you needed to set another place at the table. "No, I won't be long. I just wanted to talk to you for a minute." He explains. "Oh, alright. About what?" you ask. He takes your hand and your eyes immediately widen. "Umm...Stan?" you begin, but are interrupted by his words. "(Y/n) I swore I wasn't going to do this." "Do what?" you interrupt suspiciously. "(y/n) I love you." He finally admits. "You...what?" you say as you don't even try to hide the shock on your face. "I know it doesn't matter at all because you're with Lou but I've just always had feelings for you." Right then Lou walks through the door. "Not a word about this...ever!" you whisper pulling your hand from Stan's to go and greet your boyfriend at the door.

Zayn: You were on your boyfriend's laptop scanning through some shoes you had been looking at for months. He was out for the afternoon at the studio and you were always in need of a new pair of shoes. As you continued to browse the site, Anthony, Zayn's friend, sent you a video call request on Skype. You accept it with plans to tell him that Zayn was out for a bit but would be back later on tonight. "Hey gorgeous." He says. "Hey Zayn isn't here right now." You say ignoring his compliment. "That's okay I was kind of wanting to talk to you actually." He explains. "Really? Why?" you ask. "Well I've had a lot on my mind lately." He starts off. "Yeah? Like what?" you say thinking he has come to you for advice of some sort. "Like you." He reveals. "Wait, me? Why me?" you stutter. That's when he just lets it out. "Well ever since Zayn introduced us that day I've always had a little thing for you." "Ant, that was 2 years ago." You say astonished. "Yeah I know this has been a long time coming." He looked very genuine; like he wasn't trying to ruin the relationship you had with his best friend, but just tell you something that he thought you ought to know. "Okay." You start off. "Ummm, well there isn't really anything I can tell you." "Yeah I know, I'm not trying to wreck your relationship. I know you and Zayn are really happy, but I just couldn't not have you know." He explains. "I understand Ant, but I've got to go." You say a little bit desperate to remove yourself from the situation. "Alright, well I obviously haven't told Zayn yet so..." he begins. "Yeah don't worry I won't say anything and I suggest you don't say anything either." You advise.
