One Direction Preferences

How You Meet

Preference #5 How you meet.

Harry: You were at One Direction’s first concert venue because you recently got chosen as the new tour stage manager. You held a clipboard with the script and stood on stage when One Direction arrived. You introduced yourself to the boys and briefed them on what to do. As you were doing your job, you noticed Harry smiling at you every time you looked at him. You brushed it off and went on with your work. On your break, Harry approached you and sat next to you. He had two cups of tea, and he gave one to you. You took it and thanked him. “Must be hard to control us,” he said, amused. You laughed and nodded. “You have no idea.” “I can tell them off,” he offered. “It’s alright. I love a challenge.” You two sat together in comfortable silence, drinking your tea. Since then, it has become a habit for him to give you a cup of tea every break. You’d occasionally talk, but would mostly sit in silence. He only asked you out when the tour ended because you found out he asked about you from others. He found out that you thought that having a relationship with someone you work with is unprofessional, so he decided to wait.

Liam: You were helping your dad in your pet shop when you first saw him. He saw you standing near the counter and smiled. “Do you have some chew toys for a teething puppy?” You went straight to the aisle for the toys and got a teething pacifier. He plays with it for a while and smiles at you. “Promise me this is good?” You nod and you both go to the counter. “How long have you been working here?” He asked as you packed the teething here. You smiled at him and said, “For as long as I can remember. I only help my dad out when the staff’s on their day off.” “Oh. I knew it was a good idea to go to this store today. You own this shop?” “Technically, my dad does, but yeah.” You gave him his purchase and receipt. He gave the receipt back and said, “if you don’t mind, I’d like to have your number… For future transactions and such.” You were about to give the office number, but he said, “and I’d like to ask you out for lunch sometime.” You were already smiling. “You don’t even know me.” “Then please write your name and we’ll get to know each other more when we have lunch.” You laughed and wrote your name and number on the receipt then gave it to him. He stared at it and grinned. “Thank you, (y/n). I’ll see you again.”

Louis: You and your parents attended your little brother’s graduation and you thanked the heaven because you were seated next to Louis Tomlinson. He was with his mother and other sisters, but he smiled at you and said, “who’s graduating in your family?” “My brother,” you said, smiling back. “My little sisters are graduating. They’re twins. So glad my schedule’s cleared because they’d be crush if I didn’t go.” “Well, it’s graduation. If I were your sister, I’d definitely be heartbroken if you didn’t go.” He wiggled his eyebrows at you and said, “I’d never want to break your heart.” You laughed but didn’t say anything more. You started talking to your mom, but a while later, you felt someone tap your shoulder. You looked back at Louis. “What’s your name?” He asked. “(Y/N),” you said. He introduced himself and started telling stories but stopped when the ceremony started. In the middle of the program, however, he started fidgeting. “(Y/N), I’m bored. Let’s play thumb wars. If I win, I get to ask you out. If you win, I get to ask you out.” You laughed at his reward choice but you agreed anyway. After playing thrice (you won three times), he grinned. “I wasn’t really bored. I just wanted to have a reason to touch your hand and ask you out. Now’s the time you give me your number because you have the privilege to go out with me.” You arched your brow at his cocky attitude, but you gave him your number anyway.

Niall: You were with your friends at a buffet, and you immediately knew that someone famous was inside because of the body guards near a booth at the corner. Your friends tried to see who the celebs were, but you went straight for the plates because you’ve had a long day and you’re starving. Your friends followed in a while, excited that the famous people were One Direction, and they peeked at the booth every once in a while. When you sat in your booth, your best friend nudged you and whispered, “I swear to God, (Y/N), Niall Horan is staring at you.” You looked up to see that Niall really was staring at you. He smiled at you when he saw you looking at him, and you smiled back. You continued eating your food, but your best friend would whisper “I have a feeling he fancies you.” You ignored it and continued eating. When you went back to the buffet table for your second serving, someone stood beside you.!”Hi.” You turned your head and saw Niall Horan smiling at you. You say hi back and he nods at your plate. “What’re you getting?” “Pizza,” you said, already getting a slice. “I love pizza,” he said, and you laughed. “Who doesn’t?” “My friend doesn’t. He doesn’t like pizza sauce.” You patted him on the shoulder and said, “Your friend doesn’t know what he’s missing.” Then you walk back to your table to eat. When you and your friends finished eating, you stood up and got ready to leave. Your friends started snickering again, then you felt a tap on your shoulder. He’s back. He smiled at you and huffed. “I know this is pretty straightforward, but can I have your number?”“Why? Do you want me to convince your friend about pizza?” “That’s a good idea, but no. If you’re free, maybe we could eat somewhere. I know this great place called Nando’s and I have a feeling you’ll love it.”

Zayn: You were going to buy a SnapBack for your brother and you didn’t know what to choose. You saw a guy wearing a cool-looking SnapBack, white graphic tee and jeans. You thought he worked in the store you were in since most of the staff there had a similar get up, so you approached him and said, “Hi, uh, I’m going to buy a hat for my brother and I have no idea what to buy.” He looks surprised at first, but he smiled at you and said, “Do you know his size?” You nodded your head and he went with you to the hats and chose one similar to his. You gave him the hat back, saying you’d get it. A clerk nearby approached you and asked you if you’d get it. You stared at him, then at the stranger and realized that the one you were with wasn’t actually working there! You blushed and nodded your head. The clerk went to the cashier with your hat, and you were left with the stranger. “I’m so sorry,” you said, embarrassed. “S’alright.” He said, smiling. “I’m Zayn. If you don’t mind, I’d like to give you my number…in case your brother doesn’t like the design, you can ring me up and I can give you a new one.” You laughed and got his number. “I’m sure he’ll like it though.” “Then you’re still gonna ring me up because you owe me a date. To apologize for mistaking me for a clerk.”
