Niall Horan Imagines

Pretending

"(Y/N)!" I heard someone shouted my name. When I turned to look who was calling me, I immediately smiled when I saw Harry running towards me.

"Harold! Oh my god!" I quickly embraced him and he kissed my forehead. "How have you been? I didn't know you came back already!" He stated.

"Well, I'm doing good mister. I actually just came back yesterday." I chuckled. "Oh! Did the others know?" He asked referring to the boys.

I've known them since One Direction days. My cousin was one of their stylists so she invited me to come with her throughout the Take Me Home Tour.

That was start of my friendship with them. They treated me as their little sister and became extra protective. I actually wished of having old brother but God gave me 5 even though they're not actually my brothers by blood.

Obviously Louis and I got closer because we're both loud and energetic. Liam became closer to me because of the late night talks and advices he gave me. Then, Zayn and I got closer since he could understand me and could read me easily whenever I'm uncomfortable with the topics or zoning out.

While, Harry and Niall, the reason of us getting closer were because the vibe the three of us have, always laughing, dropping corny jokes and just carefree.

"Uh, I haven't told them.... yet." I said. "Oh! The reunion!" He said. I furrowed my eyebrows. "What ya mean, Sir?" I asked. He shooked his head and chuckled at me. "Right. I thought you read the message on the groupchat. Later tonight. You dummy."

"Excuse me?! I'm offended." I dramatically rolled my eyes. That's how he teased me always. Nothing changed at all. He just chuckled at me. "You're still on jetlag aren't you?"

"I guess. Anyway, why are you even here in my neighborhood at this early?" I asked changing the topic. "We're all staying at Niall's since last Friday. I insisted on getting some foods at the grocery store. Wanna come?"

I immediately nodded. Wow. They've been hanging out a lot lately huh. I followed Harry until we reached the supermarket close to my neighborhood.

"You know, I still don't understand why you and Niall are still not a thing." Harry suddenly talked. I was busy looking for snacks when he said that. "What are you talking about?"

"I mean, we've known you for almost 11 years now. Still nothing happened between the two of you. I just know by now that Niall really likes you." I raised my eyebrows at him. What the hell is he talking about all of a sudden? Niall and I are just best friends.

"You're talking nonsense again Harold." I nervously chuckled. But deep down I knew exactly what he's talking about. Not gonna lie I used to have a crush on him during our teenage years but it stopped when I realized it's never going to happen.

He said it himself that the thing we have will be friendship only. Nothing more, Nothing less. And that's when I said to myself 'It is what is is'.

"You know exactly what I meant. I could see it." He said. I just shooked my head and continue pushing the cart while he follows. "I've seen how you look at him, (Y/N). I-I mean you can tell me anything you know. I promise I won't tell them."

When I didn't respond he just heavily sighed gave up on trying to make us go on the dating thing. We continue grabbing foods, when we were at the counter, I spoke up. "I-I used to."

Confused on what I'm suddenly talking about he raised his brows at me. "Niall." Then he nodded. "I stopped before the band took a break. Remember those girls he used to date? After seeing those like almost after every few months, I gave up. I said that it won't happen anyway." I bitterly laughed.
