Niall Horan Imagines/Preferences

Distance (High School series)

You and Niall had been dating for a few months now, everyone at school thought you were the cutest couple and you definitely agreed. But for the past couple of weeks Niall had been really distant, it seemed like you hadn’t spoken to each for ages and every time you did in school, you both had lessons to go to or when you were in the same class you sat at different sides of the classroom as part of the seating plan.

It was making you really upset and to make it worse people kept coming up to you and asking you if you had both broken up and to make matters EVEN worse Niall had been hanging out with a random girl that goes to your school called Sophie and people were making up rumours like ‘Niall is going to break up with you’ or ‘he’s cheating on you with Sophie’. You didn’t know what to do, you felt like you couldn’t speak to him anymore.

“Hey y/n are you listening to me?” your friend said waving her hands in front of your face, you snapped out of your daydream. “Uh yeah…sorry” you mumbled. The teacher had let you guys do group work, but you just weren’t feeling up to it. Niall was in your class, but so was Sophie……..

Of course Niall worked with Sophie and one of his other friends, you felt your eyes starting to tear up, when your friend put her hand on your shoulder and had a sympathetic look, “Y/n I’m sur…..”she started but you cut her off “No, I’m not good enough for him am I? I…I don’t know what to do, I try texting him but he replies with one word answers, i-i-i-i…” you couldn’t carry on, you just broke down in tears there in your classroom. You put your head on the table and carried on crying, hopefully no one knew you were crying, they probably just thought you were tired or something. But one person did see you cry, he did, Niall.

Your friend was comforting you, rubbing her hand in circles round your back, telling you everything is going to be okay, when you felt her move and couldn’t hear her voice anymore, you wanted to look up to see where she had gone, but you couldn’t find the energy to. You felt someone sit in the chair next to you, “Babe…..” you heard a whisper, you’d recognise that voice anywhere, it was Niall.

He also leant his head on the table, the same as you, the only difference was that he couldn’t see your face; you buried it into the table. “Princess…..please” he whisper pleaded. You shook your head, “Go away Niall” your shaky voice let out. “I’m not going anywhere” his voice whispered into your ear, sending shivers down your spine. Whilst your head was still laid on the table, he ran his hand through your hair, “Please look up, I want to see your beautiful face” he said. You slowly lifted your head looking into his bright blue eyes.

He wiped the remaining tears away from your face, “I’ve been a really shit boyfriend lately haven’t I?” he questioned, you nodded your head not knowing whether he was telling himself that or you, but either way he deserves to know.

“Can I explain?” he asked, intertwining your fingers together. You nodded your head slowly.

“Don’t listen to those rumours none of them are true, not one bit.” He said confidently. “Sophie likes Todd and since me and Todd are best mates I said that I’d help her out with that and at the same time, I know it’s your birthday coming up, so I thought I’d kill two birds with one stone, I was organising a birthday surprise for you, Sophie and Todd offered to help, because you know me, I’m shit at this stuff. Just like I’m shit at keeping secrets from you, so I tried to keep my distance, so it wouldn’t slip out in conversation. But obviously I’m so stupid, I should have seen how that would have upset you y/n” he said shaking his head in disappointment at himself.

“You are an idiot” you said looking at him with a serious face, but then you couldn’t hold the smile in any longer, “You were planning a surprise for me?” he nodded his head, his face confused at your mood change. “You really are the best boyfriend ever. Going through all of this trouble for me. You’re right though….” You said as he raised his eyebrows, you carried on, “You are horrible at keeping secrets,” you laughed. Niall laughed along with you, “Yeah, I really am…there’s that beautiful laugh I’d been waiting for, you have no idea how much I’ve missed you Y/N. So do you forgive me?” he asked.

“Hmmmmm” you pretended to be in deep thought, “Of course I do” you smiled, he leaned in and gave you a quick peck on the lips, to which your teacher shouted “Oi, you two! No kissing in class” This made you both blush, but then burst out into laughter. “We’ll carry this on after school,” he winked making you laugh. You had nothing to be worried about after all.
