Only In My Fantasies ((Larry Stylinson))

Chapter 13

I hummed happily as I placed the cupcakes I bought for Louis at the back of the vegemite which I know Niall will never touch. Each cupcake had a little compliment on them and I was sure to sign it with A. Anonymous.

"Hey there Harry" I heard Niall's voice from behind me and I quickly turned around and slammed the fridge shut.

"Hey Niall, what are you doing here?" I asked.

Niall raised an eyebrow and rolled his eyes. "This is the kitchen just in case you don't remember. This is practically my palace" he said with a snort.

I rolled my eyes as well and stepped to the side, allowing him access to the fridge. 

I watched as he opened and scanned the insides of the refrigerator with curious and determined eyes. I chuckled slightly. What's up with food that makes Niall Horan-Styles go crazy?

"Maybe it's time I try some vegemite" Niall said and I felt my heart pulsating. Oh hell no is he gonna see those cupcakes. I need to think of a distraction. A very quick one.

"Seriously Niall?" I said, "Vegemite? That stuff tastes like crap! I know you love any type of food but vegemite is just plain horrible"

"How horrible is it?" Niall asks nervously and I grinned mentally because I think my plan is working.

"Once, mum made me eat it and I wouldn't stop puking for days afterwards. Everything I ate during those 4 days just went down the toilet or into a bush. It was such a waste of food" I sighed deeply. I know Niall hates nothing more than wasting food.

"Fine. I never liked vegetables anyway" Niall shrugged before reaching in and grabbing a plate full of grapes and some of his dad's beer.

I mentally sighed in relief and followed Niall as he walked over to the living room to watch some football game he missed.

"So, do you have plans this Christmas?" I asked.

"Yeah" Niall said after he took one large sip from his beer. "Gonna eat, watch whatever comes on, eat, sleep then eat some more" Niall shrugged and I laughed because that's what Niall would typically do. "What about you? Are you gonna go on some Christmas-y date with Louis?" he asked and I nearly choked on my own spit.

"What? No!" I blushed. Holy crap. Does Niall know about my little crush on Louis? Who am I even kidding? It's not even little. My thoughts were quickly interrupted by Niall who slapped my shoulder gently.

"I was kidding" Niall actually had to put the grapes and beer down to stop it from falling over from too much laughter. "Your face was priceless though mate. You looked like you wanted the couch to swallow you whole"

"S-sorry" I blushed but in honesty, I wanted the cough to swallow me whole right now. I've never talked about Louis this way with Niall and for some weird reason it makes me nervous.

"But don't worry I'll just buy you, Louis and Liam some gifts" Niall winked and I sighed internally because at least Niall changed the topic.

"Hey, Christmas isn’t just about gifts. Maybe we should have a nice Christmas celebration somewhere" I smiled.

"What? Like a double date?" Niall asked, raising an eyebrow and I had to make sure this time that I don't choke on my spit.

"N-No. Just a friendly part-- wait, are you and Liam together!?" I asked, bewildered. I smirked as soon as Niall's pale body turned to a rosy pink.

"No we're not. But I just want to go out with him on Christmas and maybe" Niall's voice has shrunk "tell him how much I like him" he said quietly.

"What?" I teased. "I didn't hear the last part. What was that?"
