My Brothers Bestfriend (NARRY AU)

0.5 | Call Me Maybe

Harry
I sat there in English class, trying to focus on Mr.Lockwood talk, but how could you when a beautiful blonde boy sat beside you? It was dearly impossible. I could tell Niall wasn't paying attention, as I could see the light from his phone screen. He should know better and I was kinda disappointed in him as his tutor, of course.
Maybe it's my duty as his tutor to tell him to listen. To be completely honest it was hard to stay focused on what Mr.Lockwood was talking about anyways, he was currently talking about nouns like none of us learned grammar before. It was utterly annoying, we're all in grade 12 does he think we've never learned about verbs, and nouns? How does he think we've made it this far?
Teachers confused me sometimes, but that doesn't mean Mr.Lockwood is not my favourite teacher. As this is my second time having him my whole high school career. It seemed so far away when I had him in grade 9 and now I'm a senior. It was weird to think I'm going off to university next year, as I got an early admissions to the University of London. Yes I did pick a career to major in. Like I mentioned before, a Doctor would best suit. Like a surgeon of some sort. Cardio Therstaics or even Paediatrics would be a cool surgeon specialist.
Yeah I didn't really want to think about that right now. What I did want to think about was Niall. The way he always looked so bright and smiling in the morning. I probably looked like shit, and had bags under my eyes. It was embarrassing how I could never compare to him, he was beautiful. A beautiful human being that deserved to be loved.
I try to take glances towards him every now and then, but it's hard when he's sitting right next to me. I turn my eyes slightly to adjust to look at him, then I do realize he put down his phone and picked up the book a suggested yesterday for him the Fault in Our Stars, he was already half way through the book. I was shocked he's actually reading it.
I thought maybe he wanted to impress me, but that makes no sense because he's straight. Niall's straight. Repeat after me. Niall's strai-
My thoughts got interrupted by the annoying bell that rang signalling class was over and it was time for Physics. Even more fun than English. I sat up and grabbed my books and seeing I was the last one in here, Mr.Lockwood thought it would be nice to stir up a conversation.
"How's the tutoring going so far?" He asks. I stand up straight and cough to clear my throat.
"It's going well, we're working on his grammar as of right now." I smile.
"That's great Harry, I really appreciate you doing this for him." He smiles genuine and nods me a goodbye.
To my surprise as I exit the classroom. There stood leaning against the wall by the door almost scaring me to death was Niall James Horan grinning widely.
"This book is addicting Harold, why'd you suggest this one?" He whined. I chuckle lightly as a smile spreads across my face as I continue to walk with Niall down the hall.
"I see you've been trapped into the amazing lives of Hazel Grace Lancaster and Augustus Waters. Welcome," I stop and turn towards him and give him a pat on the shoulder.
"Harry I can't stop reading, it's amazing. I can't wait to watch the movie when I'm done," he grins eagerly.
"The movie is rubbish," I frown.
"Well I've got to see it for myself, why don't you watch it with me?" That's when my heart stopped beating. He was asking me to hang out, this was possibly the best day of my life. Possibly.
Heat rises to my cheeks as I smiled and looked down to my feet. I can't help but feel insecure in front of him. When I looked up he had the biggest blue eyes starting into mine. There I swear we were infinity.
When I noticed I was starring into his eyes too long, my face breaks into yet another smile as I nod my head yes. "Of course I'll watch the movie with you."
Niall smiled widely and his cheek tinted a very light pink. I don't think I've seen him this happy in my life.
"Harry I've been meaning to ask you," he stops and thinks. I nod for him to carry on, I still had to go to my locker to get my textbooks. Not that I didn't want to stand in the crowded hallway with Niall, I just didn't want to be late. "Can I get your number?"
Again my heart stopped and I couldn't help the overwhelming feeling in my stomach. Niall will give me a heart attack soon I swear, if he keeps this up. It's no fair.
"Yeah, give me your phone." Nicely done styles, smooth and didn't stutter.
