Preference #38 Fake Relationship

Harry: before the two of you even started “dating”, you’ve been friends, so it was quite easy to pretend to be in love with each other. But lately, you notice the lingering touches, sweeter kisses, stolen glances and more frequent “dates”. Your best friend started teasing you that what the two of you have has finally blossomed into a beautiful fairytale, but you thought nothing of it, since couples were supposed to do that, right? And technically, that’s how the two of you should act. You always tell yourself that this is just a ruse, but you can’t stop your heart from beating faster with just the thought of him. And when he accidentally says the three forbidden words, he tries to make excuses, but you could see right through. He’s fallen. Thank God, because you have, too. “I love you, too, Harry.” And when he kisses you, you feel all tingly inside, because yes, you are in love.

Liam: You’ve avoided talking to your parents when you started “dating” because you didn’t want to lie to them the way you did to the public. So, you stayed in your pad and didn’t go to your hometown to pay them a visit. One day, when you and Liam went grocery shopping- he tagged along because he knew you’d be buying a lot and as your “boyfriend”, he should be with you to help you carry your groceries- it was when your parents decided to finally visit. You and Liam were talking about a movie he wanted to watch when you heard rustling inside your pad. You also noticed that your door’s unlocked. So, Liam pulled you back to let you stand behind him, and he handed you one of the bags he was carrying to prepare himself for an encounter with a possible robber. He cautiously opens the door at first, and he stops when he sees a man and a woman in the living room, drinking tea. You peaked from behind Liam, and you squealed and ran to them when you realized they were your parents. You hugged and kissed them, but they kept their gaze on Liam, who was now standing awkwardly near the three of you. In your joy, you pull him to you and say, “Mum, dad, this is Liam, my boyfriend.” Soon, you excused yourself to keep the groceries, and Liam joined you. When you’re placing the groceries in the assigned cupboards, you notice Liam’s silly grin. “Liam, you’re creeping me out.” He looks at you, still grinning. “You just introduced me as your boyfriend.” “And?” “You said you didn’t want to lie to your parents.” You stop from fixing your groceries and stare at him. You bite the insides of your cheeks to keep yourself from smiling. “I did.” “So, that wasn’t a lie?” He was now in front of you, just a step away from you. “No,” you whisper, and he nears his face to yours to kiss you, but before he could even do it, your mom comes in and laughs when she sees what the two of you are about to do. “You’ve had five months to do that when you didn’t visit us. Now, sit with us in the living room, you two, and chat.”

Louis: Most of the fans weren’t convinced that you and Louis were dating, so you decided to bring it to the next level by adding Johannah into the picture. You and Louis were in New York because the boys had a concert, so he decided to fly his mum to give the two of you the chance to get to know each other. You and Johannah had the chance to bond when you were at the hotel and at the backstage of the boys’ concert, so a few days later when the three of you went out for lunch, you and Johannah were comfortable with each other. The two of you chatted happily and Louis would say something every once in a while, but it was mostly you and Johannah’s conversation because it turned out the two of you had a lot in common. When you excused yourself to go to the loo, Johannah patted Louis’ hand and said, “She’s a nice girl, Louis. I know this isn’t real, but please treat her right, okay? Women fall easily and fall hard, too.” Unknown to Louis, you accidentally told his mum of your growing feelings for him.

Niall: Niall and Louis had a charity football match and you decided to surprise him by attending the match. You told him you couldn’t go because of family matters, but you told Lou Teasdale in advance that you’re going, so she managed to get you a Horan jersey. You entered the stadium discreetly, wearing a jacket over the jersey and a pair of sunglasses and a cap to hide your face from the fans. Lou waited for you below the special box where Louis and Niall’s family are staying, and the two of you got there together. Niall was still oblivious of your presence, so you removed your cap, sunglasses and jersey and happily cheered for him and Louis. During the half-time, Niall and Louis stood below the box you were in and waved to their family. You were seated beside Maura when he saw you. He looked surprised, but happy nonetheless. You waved at him excitedly and shouted “Kick their ass for a cause!” and he laughs, nodding his head and waving back. When the game ends, you go to the field accompanied by Lou, and you approach Louis and Niall, who were now with Liam, Harry and Zayn. As soon as Niall sees you, he engulfs you in a bone-crushing hug and kisses your cheek. “You surprised me. Thought you weren’t coming to watch me play.” “I wouldn’t be a good fake girlfriend if I didn’t.” Niall gives you that hearty laugh and gives you a swift peck on the lips. “You’re so good to me, (Y/N).” “Don’t worry, Ni. You’re not so bad as a fake boyfriend yourself.” Liam then laughs and says, “No need to call each other fake anything, ‘cause we all know the two of you are serious anyway.”

Zayn: He’s been noticing things about you, like how you always blow your bangs away from your eyes when you’re bored, or how you twirl your hair when you’re feeling anxious, or when you cover your mouth to muffle your laugh when you hear a really funny joke because you’re conscious of your little squeak when you start laughing. And now he can’t help bit stare at you. When you joined him on tour during your summer break, you had a couple of schoolwork to finish, so as the tour bus drove to the next destination, you busied yourself with your work. Zayn was seated beside Liam, who was eating his breakfast. Zayn quietly sipped his coffee as he tried to subtly stare at you, but Liam noticed anyway. He then felt Liam nudge him. “Take a picture. It’ll last longer.” “Shut up,” Zayn says, rubbing the back of his neck, embarrassed for getting caught. He doesn’t take a picture of you, but he ends up making a sketch of you anyway.
