Speaking of Amsterdam, you might conjure images of picturesque bridges adorned with bicycles, evoking an aesthetic feeling of cycling around the city amidst pretty flowers. Harry, too, envisioning the pleasure of riding a bicycle in Amsterdam. However, his expectations were shattered when Niall casually dropped a bombshell, just a minute before Harry hopped on the bicycle, "I don't know how to ride a bicycle."
"Stay still Niall, or this'll be your last time seeing Amsterdam." Harry was riding along the Amstel river with Niall on his back, trying to capture the best scenery for his Instagram story. However, this made cycling even more difficult for him. As Harry wasn't skilled at riding bicycles himself, having Niall, who got over-excited, on the back seat added to the challenge. It was turning into a disaster.
"Shut up and continue riding your bicycle. Let me enjoy the moment." Niall shifted around snapping more than 30 pictures of the same river. He took selfies, even attempting to include Harry in the frame. His stupid ass was not even aware of the river on the side. They could have fallen, drowned, and become Dutch ghosts for the rest of their afterlife life except Harry's going to be the good-looking one.
"The only picture you'll get is a picture of yourself on the ground, or in the river if you don't stop squirming." Harry scolded Niall, who wasn't even scared but eventually stopped snapping pictures like crazy. With more places and foods awaiting him, saving his battery might be a good idea.
This is their first day in Amsterdam. After 4 days of Harry's visit to Niall's house in Miami, they packed their things, getting ready to explore Amsterdam. 3 months ago, Niall got an Instagram reel from Harry, a video showed Amsterdam's lovely atmosphere and tempting chocolate cookies from Van Stapele Koekmakerij. He replied with a yellow face with heart eyes emoji, and they continued discussing exciting things to do in Amsterdam. A day later, Harry returned with a picture of his laptop screen, showing his readiness to book a flight from Maine to Miami for himself and from Miami to Amsterdam for both of them. With a Yes from Niall and those tickets became theirs instantly. Niall didn't understand why this boy's so impatient.
Now they're at The Avocado Show, a cute restaurant with an adorable vibe. Not so long, appealing Salamango arrived, asking them to eat it, bite it and swallow it. Niall would like to do that if it's not that this Salamango belonged to Harry, who's snapping a picture of this hot girl.
"You ruined my picture!" Knowing the dish was Harry's, but with the idea that sharing is caring, Niall attempted to sneak a forkful of fresh salmon from Harry's plate. However, Harry quickly slapped his hand away.
"I'll be a good boy for the rest of the day if you let me taste your food." Niall decided to give up on sneaking Harry's food. Perhaps asking would be a better way to get a taste of the Salamango.
"Not until all the food we ordered is here and after I finish filming it for my Youtube." Harry said, smiling widely. He hadn't filmed any videos for today's vlog on his YouTube channel. Perhaps he could kick off his video by greeting his subscribers and showcasing all the mouthwatering food. However, judging by the eager expression on Niall's face, he seemed prepared to devour everything in sight, food, dishes, forks, or even tables.
"Yay! Our food are here! Let's film your video so we can eat it finally." Niall's face lit up as his food was served, including the irresistible Sinner Stack, a delicious combination of avocado, crispy bacon, melted cheese, and a poached egg on toast. Alongside it, Avo Fries awaited him, slices of ripe avocado coated in a crispy batter, ready to be savored.
"Okay. Hold the camera for me. Don't forget to show off our drool-worthy food." Harry passed Niall his trusty small camera, a constant companion on their adventures, and pulled out a compact mirror to ensure he looked his best-checking his curls, straightening his shirt, and examining his face. With just 21 subscribers in mind, he still aimed to impress.
"Good morning from Amsterdam! At this moment, we're at The Avocado Show, a must-try restaurant I've been planning to visit since my college days, and now we're finally here!" Harry grinned as he shared their plans for the day and recapped what they did earlier. Niall couldn't help but smile and chuckle; Harry always seemed so excited and focused on making YouTube videos. Even though his videos typically only got 17 to 26 views, Harry approached each one with the dedication as if they were bound to hit a million.
"Okay done. Let's eat!" Niall returned Harry's camera and promptly picked up his fork and knife, directing all his attention and affection towards his Sinner Stack. Harry collected his camera in his bag and joined in, starting to eat as well.
"So, any plans for your next trip?" After a period of focused eating, Niall finally tore his attention away from his pancake to ask Harry, breaking the silence that had settled between them as they both earnestly devoured their meals, occasionally sneaking bites from each other's plates.
"I'll just go home. A trip to Spain is waiting for me tho. My cousin is getting married and I'm her bridesmaid since I'm the second BEST Tomlinson after her and she'll not be a Tomlinson anymore. So that only means one thing." Harry grinned "I'm becoming the best Tomlinson!" He clapped without a sound.
"According to who? You?" Not really expected the answer, Niall just liked teasing Harry.
"Yeah. Problem?" Harry put on a fake angry face. Shortly after his smile dropped. "We all are growing up so fast." Harry mumbled with a hint of sorrow, saddened from the fond memories of him and his cousin playing Hide and Seek or chasing each other at every family gatherings. The realization of her upcoming wedding made him a bit down.
"Any plan for marrying?" Niall continued eating his food, looking at Harry at the same time. Suddenly, he decided to share a small piece of his pancake, aiming to bring back Harry's usual radiant smile. With this simple act from Niall who rarely shared food, a smile crept on Harry's face.
"No, mate. I don't even have anything. No boyfriend, no job, no ambition but at least I have my Youtube channel." Harry laughed at his own words. No one could be this funny except ourselves, right? "You?" Harry questioned back and they continued talking and talking until there's no food left.

"How's Netherlands?" Harry had just stepped out of the bathroom when he noticed a message from Zain, his cherished best friend. A smile spread across his face as he made his way to where he had left his phone (which's like 1 step away from where he's standing now), eagerly picking it up to read the message.
"Wonderful!" Harry replied to Zain and flooded him with several pictures of Amsterdam, excitedly sharing snippets of their adventure. However, he purposefully left out the photo of the souvenir he bought for Zain.
"How about your vlog? I haven't seen any updates from your channel" Zain always watched Harry's videos, never missing out, giving each one a like. Harry cherished this about Zain, his unwavering support and care.
"Out tomorrow! Start counting minutes now." On the other side of the text, Smiling Zain's busily tapping on his phone, happily chatting with his beloved best friend. As for the rest of their conversation, it was filled with topics only for them to understand and not for us to. :D

Hope you guys don't mind Harry and Louis being siblings...
Thanks!
