Sidemen Oneshots

Wroetostar - Kids again

A/N- This is a one-shot that is based on the football vlogs on Vik's and Harry's channel from years ago. I just rewatched them and that sparked my love into wroetostar again. Hope you enjoy.

(Vik's P.O.V)

All of the sidemen decided o do a football video together, because of the sidemen charity rematch. To be very honest, I was dreading it, not because I'm nervous about anything, it's because I actually want to be useful and score a goal or something. The guys all make fun of me for it, but I want to actually score a goal, or be somewhat useful, just so I can not be a burden. I mean our team was so well last year, that I was the only bad player. I just don't want to be a disappointment to myself. But I also don't want to disappoint those who's been teaching me how to play and all the fans. 

I knew that I needed help to actually improve, and there is only one sideman that I fully trust to help me and not make me feel like a total idiot at the same time, and that is Harry. There's nothing wrong with the other guys, it's just that Josh and Simon are really serious about football so will probably get easily mad, JJ and Ethan will easily insult me at every mistake I make, which I'm not down for, and Tobi is too good that I just feel like rubbish in comparison. But that might be a bit biased being thrown into this. I don't know why, but being with Harry makes me forget all about my insecurities. I'll never be as fearless as he is, but I feel like I have the ability or the guts to do almost anything legal when he's by my side. That's why he's the one that I trust in this secret training. 

It was just one evening.  The sun casts its golden rays down upon the clouds was randomly dispersed within the burning sky, turning them bright red; fire red.The sun itself seemed to melt into the sky, obscuring itself, inviting the night to make its grand entrance. This illuminating sky was all that was needed to leave me in a trance. If only photos were good enough to capture the beauty of the scene.No matter how hard I ponder on the word I choose to describe this beauty, they just never seem to serve it justice, as cheesy as that sounds. I can tell Harry is doing the same, as there was only silence between the two of us, blissful, comfortable silence, that I felt at ease in. this stunning scenery, besides the person I feel the most comfortable and free with, how can I describe such a perfect moment, without sounding like a broken record.

Eventually, we left the pitch engaging in small talk about how practice went, and about family. I may not seem it, but I'm extremely close with my family. That's why I don't want them to be in my videos. I love them too much, that I don't want them to be burdened with the title, Vik's parents. So it's best to keep their identity hidden. I also live quite far from them, But I skype them daily, I visit as often as I can, and I always love them. The same goes for my brothers. I'm glad that harry feels the same as me, but all his family is down with internet fame, whereas I know my family likes to be more reserved. In fact, our backgrounds and childhoods differ a lot from each other. That must be why we feel like polar opposites, even though we do share a lot of similarities. 

On our home, we pass a deserted kids playground, well what kids would be allowed and want to play in a playground at 7 pm, or is this an anti-social childhood Vik talking. Either way, I was surprised when Harry suddenly pulled over to the side of the road. there were nowhere that said we couldn't park, but why did we stop. Then Harry suggested something completely out of the blue.

"Vik let's play on the playground like when we were kids.  It'll be fun." He spoke with his voice full of enthusiasm.

"You want us to play in the park, designed for 6-year-olds to maybe 12-year-olds at max and you want to do this at 7 in the evening?" I asked suspiciously.

"Why not?" He replies immediately with no embarrassment. He didn't beg yet in words, but he's already showing his stroppy puppy dog eyes, that look adorable on him, but always guilt trips me, even if I'm in the obvious right. This kid...

"Fine, what could go wrong?" I declare. And if you could see the joy on his face when I agreed. God, it was as if someone offered him the whole world for free. Ok, maybe a bit of an exaggeration but you get the picture.

So we entered the deserted park. It was actually well kept. There was just the standard round-about, pair of swings, one slide set- that was pretty huge actually and a sea saw - too small for us to use. But there were some unusual things as well, a mini trampoline, an outdoor gym that was purely mechanical and a free running zone full of ranges of bars and blocks to jump on. This is probably the weirdest park, I've come across, which isn't saying much as even as a kid, I hardly left the house unless literally forced to. I'm surprised that I keep up a similar lifestyle now, only this time I can earn money from games I play. Harry also seems impressed by the gem of a park we've discovered. 

It was a lot more fun than expected, honestly. Harry even decided to film a bit of it and sneak it into a vlog in the future. I'm not sure if he can pull it off but it's still nice to have a physical copy of a memory we can look back on together. These things I'm quite sentimental about. That'a why I've always love vlogging, but I've never hidden that fact. I'm just glad that I get to enjoy this moment with Harry. 

By the time we finished, the sun has finally placed the scene, which brought attention to the multitude of stars which we can spot vaguely if we focus our attention on the clear rayless sky, due to the limited presence of street lighting. They are quite obscured and dulled compared to most pictures of a romantic stargazing sky, but it's beautiful nonetheless.What makes this even better though is the fact that I can enjoy this with Harry, the one person I love - yes love. I've always loved Harry, but I also like our relationship, it's not complicated and I still get to spend a lot of alone time with him beside me. It doesn't matter if we're in a relationship or not, I will always love Harry no matter what. 

"Ah, that was fun!" Harry exclaims to break the silence.

"As much as I hate to admit it, I had a lot of fun as well. Thank you, Harry, for the suggestion," I reply slightly embarrassed and ashamed about my skepticism before. I then try to compose myself but still stutter like an idiot, "maybe... maybe ...we...can do this...again sometime."

"Aww Vik," Harry cooed teasingly.

"Shut up! I was serious!" I snapped at him flusterd, as much as I love him, he can be so god damn annoying.

"I know, it was that you're so cute when you do stuff like that." he chuckled, leaving me still flustered and embarrassed.

"Jeez, what 21-year-old man wants to be called cute," I mumbled under my breath. unfortunately, Harry heard that.

"You should embrace it, I love that part about you," Harry defended. He then shuffled closer to me so our arms were touching, this gave me the opportunity to lean my head on his shoulder.

"You know I love you." Harry went on.

"And I love you too"

A/N- Finally this is done. I hope you enjoy this. I feel like this one wasn't as romantic or fluffy as it should, but I'm strangely attached to it, even though I don't think it's that good. If you have any requests please feel free to comment it below and I will definitely write it. It would be greatly appreciated. I still can't believe this book is so popular. Thank you for reading :)
