Niall-Nina (custom preference from my tumblr)

"Niall! Put me down!" I shouted as the Irish boy ran through the hallways with me over his shoulder. Niall had just finished his show for the night and he was sweaty and gross.

"I ain't putting you down yet doll! We're almost to the room, just hold on!" He half shouted-half chuckled.

Niall invited me to visit him on tour and how could I say no? Niall's been my best friend for...um... 10 years? 12? I'm not sure, I guess I've lost track. Anyways, we've been best friends for a long time and we do everything together. Ever since he started the band life, we barely see each other. But we text and call everyday.

"Niall!" I grabbed his shirt.

"Okay fine princess. We're here!" He set me back on my feet.

"Thank you. And why were you carrying me in the first place?!" I punched his arm gently and he chuckled.

"Because you're too slow! Plus I was excited for you to see all the fun we have after concerts." As if on cue, the door swung open and the other four screaming boys ran through.

"Nina! Nina! Yay! Nina!" You'd expect someone to be dead tired after running around on a stage for a few hours, but no. These boys were still going strong. I was hugged and picked up like a rag doll relentlessly.

"I told you they loved you like I do!" Niall shouted over the commotion. I blushed, thinking back to the time that I was convinced the boys didn't like me. They were just quiet and awkward around me and it made me feel awful.

"Yeah, we love you Nina! But I don't think we love you like Niall. He's super duper in love with you and we love you like a sister." Niall quickly hit Harry on the back of the head and I laughed.

"Nina, we're gonna get changed. We'll be back!" The five disappeared into the hallway once again and I was alone in the "hang out" room. I sat on the couch and pulled out my phone. I played Temple Run for less than 2 minutes when Harry came into the room.

"So, when are you and Niall getting together?" He plopped down on the couch next to me and his curls bounced.

"Harry! We're not getting together, keep dreaming." Just like me... I mean, I like Niall, but he could never like me the way I like him. We're just always going to be best friends and... I'm okay with that. I have to be.

"Yeah right, Nina. I see the way he looks at you and the way you look at him. You want him." He nudged me with his elbow. I rolled my eyes at how much he reminded me of a middle schooler.

"So maybe I do like him, but it doesn't matter! He'll never like me like I like him and that was way too many likes for one sentence." I tried to change the subject but Harry's a persistent one.

"Seriously Nina?! Seriously?! He likes you as more than a friend and he has for a while. Everyone else sees it! Why are you two so stubborn? One more thing to put on your list of similarities." The other boys came running in, Niall in tow. He was beaming and it automatically made me smile.

"Your heart is showing." Harry whispered in my ear. Niall started looking a little angry.

"Harry, I told you not to corrupt her! Has he said anything stupid yet?" Niall started laughing. I giggled a little.

"Plenty." I replied. Harry hit my arm.

"Hey! You little t-"

"Nina!" Niall always hated my cursing, even though he curses like a sailor.

"Whatever Ni." I laughed at him. I stood up and walked over next to him. Niall embraced me and squeezed tightly. It's been a while since we've seen each other. A few months, actually.

"I've missed you princess." He whispered in my ear. I melted into his arms and closed my eyes, letting his warmth over come mine.

"Aw." I heard Liam say.

"Why don't you two get a room?" Harry shouted, throwing a pillow at us. Niall was quick to shield me and then start attacking Harry with the pillow.

"Shut. Up. Lad!" He yelled between blows. Everyone was laughing and we were having fun...until Harry decided to come use me as a hiding place.

"Harry! You know I won't hurt her! You on the other hand, I don't mind that." Then, Harry pushed me into Niall's arms. Harry bolted out of the room and soon I realized we were alone.

"Hey, I'm sorry about them. They're hung up on this idea that we're meant to be together, o-or something." Niall rubbed his neck nervously.

"It's fine Ni. I'm just glad to see you again." I smiled and he loosened up a bit, a slight blush still written on his face.

"What do you think?" His question shocked me.

"W-what?" Niall and I were never serious about anything. Why start now?

"Do you think we should be together?" By this time, his face was beet red.

"U-um, well... I don't know.... What about you?" Niall took a step closer to me, wrapping me up in his arms.

"I think it's a pretty good idea. I... I like you, a lot Nina." Niall pressed his warm lips to mine, gentle yet a hint of need. It was the most perfect kiss I've ever had.

The world seemed to go black and white, then fade away as if it was crumbling around us. A thousand tiny fireworks burst in my mind and butterflies came out of their cocoons lodged deep in the pit of my stomach. I've been waiting so long for this to begin that I never want it to end. Niall pulled away from my lips and rested his forehead on mine.

"Say you'll be mine? I want you to be my girl, Nina." I pecked his lips once more before I answered.

"I'm your girl, Niall. I'm your girl."
