The five boys had just ended their latest video diary and were now hanging around in their shared living room, excitedly discussing their seemingly growing fanbase.

All of a sudden, Niall shot up from his seat and exclaimed "Guys, I'm soo hungry, can we order some Nando's?? Pleasee"

Louis groaned. "Nialler, lad, not fucking Nando's again, none of us have eaten anything other than Nando's for what feels like two weeks!"

Niall started pouting and opened his mouth to argue back at Louis, but before he could start an argument about Nando's, Liam quickly chimed in. "Right, I'll have to agree that we'll all soon get a Nando's overdose, sorry, Ni. But I'm actually hungry too, so how about we order some pizza?"

Surprisingly, everyone quickly agreed without starting an argument, so Liam ordered.

But just a few seconds later, Niall shot up from his seat again. "I have the best idea ever! You know, I put some alcohol in the freezer -" (Liam's shocked expression was priceless) "- so we could get that and play a round of truth or dare while eating our pizza!" A huge toothy grin spread across the little leprechaun's face.

Before Liam could be his reasonable self and argue against that, all the other boys agreed excitedly, so he just tugged along.

As soon as the pizza arrived, they sat down in a small circle on the floor (Louis threw a heap of blankets all over them "to make it more comfortable" and Niall screamed at him because his first slice of pizza got knocked out of his hand by that) and put the bottle of alcohol in the middle, Zayn handing out shot glasses to everyone.

As per usual, Harry and Louis were sitting next to eachother, much closer than most other best friends would, thighs touching and butterflies forming in both of their stomachs, but they still were oblivious on how mutual these feelings were.

Niall started the game (he insisted on that because it was his idea) and pointed at Harry. "Truth or dare?" "Umm... truth..." Harry replied. "Boringgg" groaned Zayn, but Liam slapped his knee and shot him a glare, so he grinned and shut up.

"Alright, Harold... DO YOU HAVE A CRUSH" Niall exclaimed way too excitedly. As much as he tried to stop it, Harry felt his face flush pink and forced himself not to look at Louis.

Niall wiggled his eyebrows suggestively, noticing the sudden pink of Harry's cheeks. The younger lad just rolled his eyes at that and looked at his pizza, the cheese now suddenly very interesting. "I- I do, yeah"

"OH MY GOD WHO IS IT?" Niall was definitely way too invested in that. "That wasn't the question, so I won't tell you" Harry replied, his face now surely resembling a tomato.

The game went on, Zayn had to jump in the pool fully clothed, Niall had to eat a whole chili at once and cried about how that was a horrible death and they should bring Nando's to his funeral, and Liam was asked if he had a crush, just like Harry, and no one (except for Zayn himself) failed to notice his quick glance to the latter, before he replied with a "yes".

Soon, it was Louis' turn and he picked dare. "Alright..." An implish grin spread across Niall's face and he snickered before continuing. "I dare you to kiss the most beautiful person in this room!"
