Not Just Any Coins

One where Niall leaves a few coins on the counter, telling the others not to touch it. They don't listen, and take them, to annoy him. Niall realizes, later in the day, and starts crying.

NIALL POV:
I have my special coins in my hands right now. There's a cleaner coming to the home, and I'm trying to find a place to put them.

I finally decided to just put them somewhere obvious, the kitchen table, with a note reading, "Don't Touch!" That should work.

I put it down and get in the car. I'm the first one of the five, besides Paul.

LOUIS POV:
I'm about to go to the car when I see something on the kitchen table

"Why'd you stop Tommo? Forget somethin'?" Liam asks from behind me.

"Look at this. A pile of coins in a note, telling us not to touch them... You know we have to take them."

Harry and Liam laugh.

"Sure, couldn't do any harm. We don't even have to use them. Just take them. They're probably Zayn's and he owes me right now, so..." I say, grabbing the coins, and putting them behind a standing frame.

We get into the car. Niall and Zayn are already in.

"All right, you're all here. We're just gonna head to the mall and kill some time. No work today," Paul says.

"Alright," we all agree.

On the Way Back
NIALL POV:
We're almost home and I can't wait to see my special coins again.

When we get there, I practically run to the kitchen

Then, I see the worst thing I could ever see.

The. Coins. Are. Missing.

I want to scream. The notes gone too. The cleaner must've moved they know and forgot what it said or something. My coins could be anywhere. I break down crying.

I'll probably never see my coins again.

I got the coins for my brother, and I haven't seen him for years now. The coins or also worth a lot. At least a thousand, but that doesn't bother me as much.

Liam comes behind me.

"Niall, why are you crying? Did something happen?"

"I-I-I put a note here, saying to n-not touch-ch, but the cleaner person m-moved them anyw-ways."

LIAM POV:

I'm about to head up to my room, when I say no in the kitchen... crying?

"Niall, why are you crying? Did something happen?"

"I-I-I put a n-note here, saying to n-not touch-ch but the cleaner person m-moved them anyw-ways," he stutters.

Shit! He must be talking about the coins! They were probably his! I decided I should tell him.

"Uh, actually, Niall, we kinda took them. We didn't know they meant anything," I say, apologetically.

"Wh-who's we?"

"Harry, Louis, and I."

"Wh-where are th-they!?"

"Um, Louis put them somewhere. Lemme get him and Harry."

I hear chatter in the living room, so head there.

The boys are all sitting on the couch, watching TV.

"Harry? Louis? Ya know the coins? Well, they were Niall's and now he's crying."

They shoot up.

"Where is he?" Harry asks.

I lead them toward the kitchen.

LOUIS POV:
"Niall! Niall, I have the coins, let me get them!" I shout.

Thankfully, the coins are still where I left them. I signed release, and bring them over.

"Here."

His eyes lock on them.

"Why did y-you guys take my coins?"

"We're sorry Niall we didn't really know they meant anything to you."

"Well, they do."

"Care to tell us how?"

He's very slowly nodded.

NIALL POV:
"my brother gave them to me a few years ago and I haven't seen him since then. They're also worth a lot, but that doesn't really matter to me. I-"

"How much!?" Louis cuts me off.

I almost laughed.

"Uh, I actually don't know. At least a thousand I think."

His eyes go wide.

"Wow," he says after a while.

I continue talking.

"is it babyish to cry over c-coins?"

"No, of course, not! Especially under the circumstances."

I smile.

"Thanks for giving them back."

"we shouldn't have taken them in the first place, so no problem," Harry says.

"Just wanna say, I had nothing to do with this whole thing," Zayn says.

We all laugh at that.
