My Brothers Bestfriend (NARRY AU)

3.5 | Christmas Day

Niall
It was Christmas morning and I didn't want to get out of bed. Greg and Denise are probably still sleeping, but what surprised me the most was Theo wasn't up. I guess he was only a 1, but still when I was his age I was up at 7 in the morning and to add to the list my mom's parents are here. There probably up already. My mom said that no one should wake up until 10 o'clock the latest, 9:30 the earliest. It was currently 9:15 and I just awaken 5 minutes ago.
So I decided to call Harry, to wish him a Merry Christmas. In a couple rings he answered. I hope I didn't wake him up.
"Niall?" He said groggily. Great I waked him up.
"Merry Christmas Harry," I said cheery.
"Merry Christmas Niall, why are you up so early?"
"Because I just can't sleep.." I trialled. I really didn't know why I am up so early.
"Is it because Mr.Niall can't wait to get presents? Hmm," he hummed.
"No!" I scoffed. "This is the usual time I wake up."
"True," he agrees. "I was just up so late last night."
"So what did you get me?" I grinned, ignoring his last statement.
"Who said I got you anything," I could only imagine the smirk on his face.
"Well this is awkward." I bit my lip, even though he couldn't see me.
"Why? What you get me babe?"
"Nothing, because you got me nothing." I could hear him scoff on the other side of the phone.
"I'm kidding, of course I got you somethings, it's just gonna be a surprise," he assures me.
"Well Harry this is awkward because I knew you got me something,"
"Who told you?"
"A little birdy told me," I wasn't going to tell him who spilled the beans.
"Well it was either my mum or Leslie, or Louis!"
"Hm, you'll never know.." I loved to tease him. He got so worked up.
"It was my mum,"
"How are you so sure?" I really wanted to know how he was so positive it was her.
"Because..." He trailed. "She was the only one you saw since I bought you the gift."
"Well then," he was right.
"I got it didn't I?" He was grinning and I wish I could see his face right now and kiss his lips. His sweet beautiful plump lips.
"Yes.." I was defeated.
"I knew it Ni," he paused. "Well I better get going. Got a lot planned tonight, by the way when's your supper?"
"Around 3, why?" I was curious.
"I'll pick you up around 6?"
"That would be great, I'll see you then." I was about to hang up and the he called my name once again.
"Niall?"
"Yes Harry?"
"I love you," my face broke into a smile again.
"I love you Harry," and then I hanged up and checked the time. I was on the phone with Harry for like half hour. Suddenly a knock was on my door and in peaked Greg's head.
"Niall mum and dad are up," he said.
"Okay," I said simply and got out of bed following behind Greg downstairs where my family was seated around the kitchen island.
"Well look who slept in," my mum smiles as she sips her coffee.
"Morning," I hum and sit down beside me brother on the stool, where he sat beside his fiancé.
"Well shawl we?" My mum hummed as we all got up after her to make our way into the living room. Fun.

It was now 5:55 and Harry should be here any minute now. I sat in the den beside my grandfather who was going on about something with Greg who sat across from us on the love seat with Denise and Theo in there lap.
"So Niall you find yourself a young lady yet?" I turned to my grandfather as he patted my knee. Great, this conversation happens atleast twice every family dinner or gathering.
"No Grandpa," I shake my head and look up at Greg as he's frowning at me.
"That's a shame boy, have any eyes on anyone?" I shake my head no not wanting to continue this conversation when my dad came into the living room.
"Niall, Harry is at the door, why don't you invite him in?" My dad asks as he sits down beside me.
"He's aloud to come over?" I ask.
"Yeah of course, I like Harry. Good lad he is, smart  and handsome." What was he saying? Is this my dad talking? Like Bobby Horan? From Mullingar Ireland? I think he may be a little ill. "I was surprised when you didn't invite him over for supper."
"I didn't think you like him honestly," I confess as I get up and turn to meet Harry at my door. He stood with my mom at the doorway as they chatted laughing.
"Niall!" Harry cheers as I greet them both.
"Niall why don't you invite Harry in? Rose and her family will be here soon, I'm sure you all will be able to sit around and play for a game night?" My mom smiled at the two of us. I really didn't know what was happening with my family. I think there catching the flu.
"Harry would you like to stay for game night?" I ask, Harry only grinned as he nodded his head and slipped off his shoes. Harry followed behind me as we made our way into the den where the only seat was on the lazy boy couch. But then suddenly something odd happens when my dad moved to the lazy boy to open a seat for Harry and I to sit.
"Harry boy!" My dad cheered. "Staying to play a few games?"
"Yes sir," Harry nodded. I think Harry could also tell that my family was a little off tonight and we both had no clue what was happening.
"Your Harry then?" My grandfather turned towards the two of us as we both moved to sit beside him on the couch.
"That's me," Harry smiled.
"So your the boy that Niall spends all his time with," my grandfather states.
"Yeah he's my Bestfriend," it hurt and I could see frowns on Greg and Denise's for from across the room as they look at Harry and I sit there awkwardly.
"Well Rose, Elizabeth and William are here!" My mom chirped in as they all entered the room one by one. Great I haven't seen Rose since that night and I really didn't want to see her ever again. "Dad? Where is mom?"
My mom asked her dad as he just shrugged his shoulders. That's gonna be me and Harry some day. Wow did I just think about the future with Harry. I hope Harry and I grow old together what a journey that will be.
"That women is always off doing something!" Old people, I swear. Harry just chuckles lightly beside me and it makes me wonder what is he thinking about?
"Mom!" My mom shouts as the old lady comes around the corner drying a dish. "Mom? What are you doing!"
"Washing the dishes, what is there to do?" She shrugs.
"Put that down! We're playing a game," my mom sits down beside my father. "We're going to play pictionary! Kids vs Adults."

That being said, Rose, Greg, Denise, Theo, Harry, and I were verse my mom, my dad, William, Elizabeth, and my grandparents. Everyone was laughing and smiling, it was nice and I don't think I've witnessed this from my family in a long time. We were generally having a good time. Being family like, which didn't happen often as it use to.
Harry was being very talkative and he was very comfortable around my family I think for the first time. It was nice, we were kinda being a little touchy. Like he's rest his hand on my knee but then he'd realize where we were and then he'd take his hand off and look around to see if anyone noticed.
Then his one time he hugged me when we lost and I think everyone saw but we were too busy laughing and we honestly didn't care. Best friends act like this, Greg and Denise definitely noticed as Greg texted me touchy much. I didn't care though, for some reason my family for one night let their judgement go and we had a good Christmas Day afternoon. Kids won of course, and we'd be able to hold that against them until next Christmas.
I now sat in Harry's car as we were parked in front of the beach as the radio played lightly in the background.
"Niall," Harry said breaking our very comfortable silence.
"Yes Harry?" I turn towards him as he's smiling smug at me.
"I got you something," he held a tiny little box in his hand as he fiddled with it. In that little box could be anything.
"I got you something too," I sat up and grabbed the box that was in my jacket pocket bring it out for full view for Harry to see. It was a longer box that held my very thoughtful gift.
"Here," he hands me the box. "You first."
"No you first," I hand him my box.
"Okay.." He trials as he grabs my box and I grab his as I rest it in my lap. "What is it?"
"Open it silly," he chuckles as he tears the wrapping paper. He sees the box and takes in a breath and exhales loudly, as he read out Blue Nile on the small box.
He opens the box revealing the paper plane necklace. His eye go wide as he stares at the necklace.
"Niall it's beautiful," he blushes. "Can you?"
He motions for me to help him put it on and I don't hold back as he's turning away from me. I grab the necklace and put it around his neck. When it was around his neck he turned around towards me and kisses me softly on the lips quickly.
"Thank you so much baby," I bite my lip. I loved it when he called me baby. "Now open mine."
I chuckle as I tear the wrapping paper and there sat a small box that read Blue Nile. As if we bought our gifts at the same jewellery store.
I opened the box to a grey band, dear lord I was gonna faint. Harry bought me a fucking promise ring. My heart was beating rapidly, and I couldn't help the smile that escaped on my lips.
"Harry.." I trailed and took a look at him. He looked worried and happy at the same time.
"Is it too soon?" He chokes.
"God no, it's beautiful." My face breaks into a smile. "I love you."
"I love you Niall James Horan," of course he had to use my full name.
"Will you?" I motion for him to slide it on my finger. Harry nods as he grabs the box and takes the band.
"Look," he says as he hold open the ring for me too look at in the inside of the ring was graved.
"Niall & Harry... forever&always." I read. Tears threatened to escape from my eyes. Why was my boyfriend so fucking cute. It wasn't fair. I looked up at Harry as he was crying too. God look at us. We haven't even told Liam and my parents don't even know about our relationship and he got me a promise ring that I can't even show them.
"Harry, we have to tell Liam, and my parents." I say.
"Shh," he hums as he grabs my hand and I watch as he slides the ring onto my ring finger.
I looked over towards Harry as he's smiling at me already looking into my eyes. I press my lips to his as I kiss him passionately.
