The sound of my phone ringing woke me up. Most importantly because I knew it was Harry ringing for a FaceTime. He had a specific ringtone, it was set to "Hello" by Adele. Harry insisted that she was the best and Hello was a nice pun for a ringtone. And also, he hates the marimba ringtone.

"What Harry?" I groan.

"Babe! Aw did I wake you up?" I open my eyes and see his green eyes staring back at me.

"Yeah, you and Adele." And he beams.

"Hey I wanted to tell you something."

"What is it, love?" I rub my eyes.

"Knock knock"

"Oh my god Harry, is this why you woke me up?"

"Come on! Please answer the door." He pouts. And I can't fucking resist him. Sigh.

"Who's there?"

"Olive."

And then I start remembering this knock knock joke and my eyes widen.

"No! No Harry!" I start to shout. He could not fucking say he loves me with a knock knock joke.

"Oli-" I interrupt him.

"Harry no! You can't say it in a knock kno-"

"OLIVE!" He shouts over me and he does that thing with his lips when he gets upset.

"No!-"

"OLIVE, NIALL!" He furrowed his eyebrows.

And I sigh. I guess he will confess his undying love for me in a knock knock joke.

"Olive who?" I finally say. I know it'll make him happy.

"Olive you, Niall James Horan." His smile widens.

"I love you, Harry." And he stays quiet for a long time. His face scrunched up, like he was trying not to smile too hard.

"I love you, Niall." And then he adds, "Thank you for answering the door." And I laugh.

Olive him.
