Harry Styles Imagines

#Niall

You are best friends with Niall. Yep...THE Niall Horan. You tell each other everything, but you never told him that you have a "lightly" crush on him. Well.., you would die for this boy. You wanted to tell him, but you don't want things to be awkward between you two. You don't want to lose him and ruin your friendship because he would never feel the same way. But you can't do this anymore. You wanted to be so much more than just a good friend.

One afternoon you texted him, if he wants to come to your place and just hang out and talk a little. After less than two minutes  later you heard a knock on your bedroom door. You know it was Niall, because he's basically your neighbour.

"Hey (y/n)!", he said, while he walked over to you.

A smile twitching at his lips as he pulled you into a hug. You felt so comfortable and didn't want to let go but as you felt his grip loosen you pulled away and leant against your work desk. He sat down at the end of your bed and looked around the room, then back to you.

"So...what's up?", he questioned.

"What?", you retorted, a little bit confused.

"You asked me if I want to come over and hang out and talk a little. So what's the matter?"

"Am I not allowed to ask my best friend to hang out with me?", you replied sarcastically.

"(Y/n) ,seriously", he sighed. "I see that there is something wrong. You know, you can tell me everything. So..."

You decided to tell him about your feelings, but not direct. You took a deep breath and finally started to talk. "I need your advice..", you looked at him, your heart pounding loudly in your chest.

"Because of..?"

"I-..umm...", you looked to the ground, thinking about what you were going to say. "A friend..", you looked back up at him. He looked straight into your eyes.

"A friend?!"

"Yep...a friend", you said and tried to sound as calm as possible.

"Ok...what's your friend's name?"

'Omg what's my friend's name', you thought.

"(Y/f/n)..", you tried to avoid his  glance because you were not very good at lying, especially when you are looking into this mesmerizing blue eyes.

"(Y/f/n)?", he repeated skeptically.

"Yeah...(Y/f/n)."

"I've never heard of her", he said.

"Well...I don't know her very well, but she asked me for my advice" , you stated. "And now I'm asking you for your advice, because I didn't have one",  you continued.

"Ok..tell me."

"Umm...there's a boy. And she likes that boy, 'cause they are good friends," you began. "But she wants to be more than just friends. She really, really likes this boy, because he is the most handsomest, funniest and cutest boy she has ever met", you explained.

"He's always there for her, she needs him....". Your palms got sweaty because you were very nervous.

He nodded as you looked at him. But there was something in his eyes you haven't seen before. They weren't the usual bright blue ones, they were darker, as if he was sad or disappointed.

"She doesn't want to tell him because she doesn't want to ruin their friendship and lose him forever. But she can't do this any longer....what would you do..?", you asked carefully.

"You were talking 'bout you, right?" His voice was quiet and shaky.

"I'm not...umm..." You wanted to say something more but he cut you off.

"There's nothing you have to worry about, (y/n). You are the most beautiful and amazing girl I know." You looked to the floor, because you don't want him to see your flushed cheeks.

"But what would you do?" You looked at him again. He looked straight into your eyes.

"This" His voice was a soft whisper.

He stood up and walked over to you. Before you even realised what he's going to do, he cupped your face with his hands and you felt his soft lips on yours. At first you were confused if this is really happening right now, but this moment was just perfect. You wanted to kiss back, but Niall already pulled away. You wanted to say something, but Niall was faster.

"I'm sorry (y/n). But I can't do this any longer. I can't pretend that you're just a good friend. I love you, (y/n). And I hope this boy is going to make you happy"

You felt your heart sank a little at what he had said. One single tear escaped his eye and rolled down his cheek before he made his way over to the door. You can not let him go. He told you that he feels the same way for you as you feel for him. You can not let him go, believing that he is just a friend, nothing more. Before he reached the door you grabbed his wrist.

He turned around to face you. Tears gathering in your eyes as you saw, that a few more tears has escaped his eyes.

"Niall I-"

"(Y/n) I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done this. But I can't deny my feelings for you. I hope this boy knows, how lucky he is."

The tears finally rolled down your cheeks.

"B-But...", you stammered.

"No. It's ok (y/n). I'm happy when you are happy. And when this boy is making you happy, I'm ok with that. I think it's for the best, when we don't see each other anymore. I don't think that I could deal with that" He wanted to turn around to leave, but you didn't let go of his hand. He looked at you again, but before he could say anything you started to talk.

"I-I was talking about me...." You took a deep breath and looked into his eyes "And..you. You are the boy I've fallen for. You are the boy with whom I'm in love. I have felt this way for a long time, but I was too afraid to tell you. I didn't want to lose you and ruin our friendship, because you wouldn't feel the same way. And I-.."

You could add a lot more things, but he cuts you off with a sweet and soft kiss. He puts his hands around your waist and so do you. When you've finally pulled away, you were still hugging each other and you rested your head on his chest.

"I love you (y/n). I always have and I always will", he whispered into your ear.

"I love you too, Niall" You tightened your grip around his waist, because this time, you wouldn't let go.
