I walked into Harry's house as he stood in the doorway, telling me to come in. I saw Louis and Eleanor sitting together, then Zayn and Perrie, then Liam and Niall standing by the counter in the kitchen.

They all said hi to one another. I had already greeted Harry with a hug, and walked over to do the same to Liam and Niall. Liam lightly smiled and gave me a tight hug. I hadn't seen him in a while. As I looked into Niall's eyes, my heart sped up. His arms guided me to him by my waist, and I welcomed him. He smelled like dreams, and I hoped he couldn't see that I was majorly crushing on him. I had told Liam about that, and he subtly winked at me as Niall released me.

We all sat around and chatted about our lives as of late. The guys were going on tour soon, so they wouldn't be able to have gatherings like that one as often.

We got bored after a bit, and decided to play spin the bottle. I was picked to go first because I was the youngest. I spun the bottle and it landed on Harry. I reluctantly leaned over and pecked him on the lips. He smirked at me. Yeah, he was a nice guy, but I didn't want to start anything. He wasn't my type. I looked over at Niall as Harry began to spin the bottle and his face was bright red. I quickly looked away. He looked ticked off at something and I knew better than to bug someone when they were like that.

After a bit of playing that game, we were all bored again. I got up and grabbed sodas for everyone while we debated what to do next.

"So...What now?" I asked, handing everyone their drinks. Perrie shot up with the standard answer.

"Truth or dare!" I honestly loved the game. A few groans came from around. Niall was still blowing off steam. Maybe he had gotten a text...or something?

"C'mon guys," I coaxed. "It'll be fun, and we don't have to play for long." They all shrugged and I clapped happily.

We began with a few basic dares; scream something out the window, prank calls, etc. Louis chose on me after prank calling a pizza place for animal control.

"Truth or dare?" he asked, a playful smile forming on his lips.

"Tr-" I started to say.

"You better not say truth. Truth is crap," Louis said. I smiled.

"Dare." I was a little scared about what was to come.

"I dare you to..." he dragged it out. I thought he would have had one. Liam leaned over and whispered something to him. Louis's smile had never been wider.

Before I could breathe a word, he had my challenge out. "I dare you to play 7 Minutes in Heaven with Niall!"

My eyes widened and I stopped smiling.

Crap. I had no way out of it.

"Okay..." I said reluctantly. Niall extended his hand to me.

"It's just a game," he said, relaxed. What happened to the steam blowing out of his ears? I took his hand and Harry led us to a closet just up the hallway. It was an empty closet fortunately and weirdly. We could stand, but with little room. Sitting wouldn't be any better.

I remebered that they could lengthen the time to as long as they wanted to. Harry locked the door behind us and left the light off. Our chests were nearly touching, and I awkwardly played with my fingers.

"They're not going to let us out if we don't do something," he said. I sighed and stopped twidling my thumbs.

"I know," I admitted. I felt my cheeks getting redder by the minute.

"Less talking, more kissing!" Louis yelled from the living room several yards away.

I looked up into Niall's eyes. He smiled at me, and suddenly his arms were around me. He pulled me into a hug and said into my hair, "I'm glad I got to see you again before we go on tour."

"Why's that?" I asked after he released me.

"Well I think you're..." I furrowed my eyebrows when he didn't answer. I was what? "I have something to say," he whispered, looking into my eyes. The light coming from the slits in the closet door we just enough to see his face. I hope he couldn't see mine too much.

I nodded, urging him to speak.

He looked away and swallowed. I looked up at him in awe. He was really good looking.

"5 minutes!" I heard Perrie call to us. Our eyes were still connected.

"I like you," he whispered. "I have for a while now, and I don't know if you like me, too, but I just wanted to tell you." His mouth closed and I inhaled.

"(Y/N)," he whispered lightly. I felt his breath on my lips and finally started playing the game. I put my hands on his shoulders and kissed him, standing on my tip-toes.

His hands rested on my hips, and I felt sparks between us. Our lips moved in perfect sync.

He let go and exhaled. I looked into his eyes. He smiled at me.

Suddenly, the door was flung open by Louis. Our arms were still around each other, and he smiled widely.

"Time's up, but I can leave you alone if you want-" he started to say.

"It's fine, Lou," Niall said. I looked back to him after he left and we both chuckled. We walked back into the living room and Louis stopped talking to everyone. They all looked at us and laughed.

When we finished up truth or dare, we put on some Christmas movie. It didn't feel like Christmas yet.

When everyone took a seat, there was only one left, and I had been in the bathroom. Niall had grabbed some chips, and we both walked back in at the same time.

I looked at the chair and he motioned me to come over to him. He sat down and patted his knee. The lights were all off, but the TV illuminated everyone else's faces. They were all staring at the screen like we weren't even there.

I timidly sat on his lap, and he snaked his arms around my waist. He kissed me on the cheek and a shudder ran through me. I looked at him and smiled.

The rest is history.
