Just saw This Is Us. Go. Watch. It.

A soft smile play across the Irish boys full lips, they were a bit chapped, I could tell. He suddenly bit down in his lower lip. He seemed a little nervous, but why?

~~ Nialls P.O.V~~

I looked down at her, gosh, she was beautiful. I meant what I said earlier. She seemed like she didn't believe me. Right, I have to get to the gift! Suddenly, I became a bit shaken up. What if she didn't like what I had gotten her? Her looks had changed, so her thoughts about thing could've changed too! Of course they did, you twat! [That was just for you, you know who you are. ] I continued to gaze down at her, lost in her eyes. They were a wonderful forest green. I've always liked them. She even had a bit of blue mixed in there sometimes.

"Niall?" She asked, breaking me from my thoughts. How long had I been staring?

"O-oh, right! Sorry! " I said, shaking my head a little. My lips parted a little, letting out a sigh. Molly swiped a piece of hair behind her ear, gazing up at me. I cocked my head a bit to the side, a sly smile forming across my lips. I walked towards the girl, leaning over her a little. I then held out my hand, and she took it with a small nod of her head. I then helped her off of my bed.

"I'm scared you won't like it..." I murmured softly, her eyes locking with mine.

"You and I both know if I didn't like it I wouldn't say anything about it.." She whispered back, a small giggle following her statement. She began to play with her thumbs a little, and I nodded.

The girl always kept to herself about things. It was a bit weird, if I do say so myself. When we first met, she wouldn't really talk to me. I had to practically beg her to hang out with me, because I knew we'd be great friends. Turns out, we lived right across from each other. After we became good friends, we'd race each other home everyday after school.

~~FlashBack-Still in Nialls P.O.V~~

Molly turned to me, eyes full of excitement. She knew the routine. Both of us at age eleven, waited for the bell to ring so we could sprint outside. Two minutes seemed like two hours. I looked over at her, grinning widely. I mouthed, 'ready?'

Her response was a nod, and she slammed her fists into her palm as a threat. I laughed quietly, so I wouldn't get into trouble by the teacher. The bell sounded, kids flying up out of their seats. And Molly happened to be the first one up, and was already sprinting out the door. Not this time. I followed after her, easily keeping pace with the freckled girl.

"Your never going to win, Horan!" She taunted. I wasn't very athletic. But this time, I had to win. I just had to. We continued our journey, and she decided to take a shortcut. We cut through the woods, weaving around trees.

Molly was still in front, not slowing down. I was starting to loose my breath, but I still managed to keep up with her. I laughed loudly, causing the girl in front of me to laugh as well. The birds that were roosting on trees started to fly away as we passed by, throwing taunts at each other.

"Never going to beat me!" She'd shout, me just chuckling in response. My books were starting to grow heavier each step I took.

Molly continued to weave around trees, and ran right through the middle of two trees. Little did I know, she had pushed a branch so she could get through. The branch swung back, hitting me right in the nose.

"Agh!" I shouted, falling right on my bum. The dark haired girl heard my cry, and whirled around.

"Oh my gosh, Niall! I'm so sorry!" She yelped, running over to me to help. I held my now bleeding nose.

"Ouch!" I groaned. This was a perfect opportunity to get up and run. So I took the chance, shot up, and gained the lead.

"Hey! Not fair! Cheater!" She shouted, and I heard the crunching of leaves beneath her feet. She caught up with me quickly, in reach of me.

"Nuh uh! I'm not cheating! This is called winning!" I laughed, and continued to run. We had finally reached her house, me stepping over the crack in her driveway we called finish line.

"Yes! I win!" I laughed, and began to do a little random dance. Just so you know, I couldn't dance.

Molly laughed, "You only won this one time! Tomorrow, your on!"

~~Reality-Still in Nialls P.O.V~~

I realized I had completely forgot about her gift, again. Thinking about something totally off topic. I smiled and headed over to my bag. The girl slowly followed me, a large smile spread across her pretty little face. I pulled out a envelope. I handed it to her, smiling brightly.

~~Molly's P.O.V~~

I took the envelope from his bony fingers, running my own fingers over the edges. I cocked my head a bit to the side.

"Well don't stare at it. Open it, crazy!" Niall cheered, laughing that cute laugh he always did. It was different, but not the weird different. It was the adorable kind of different.

I nodded quickly, ripping open the paper.

"Easy, don't rip whats inside." He murmured softly, looking down at the half opened envelope. I nodded, blushing a little.

I looked inside, pulling two square paper items from it. My mouth hung open. He got me concert tickets.

"Niall!!" I shouted, practically leaping into his arms. I began to laugh, "You are the bestest of the best!" I smiled, squeezing him tight.
