Harry had called up the boys for a game of basketball after getting motivated watching NBA. They were supposed to meet at an indoor sports complex nearby.

"C'mon babyyyy, it's going to be fun! You should join us, or maybe just cheer for me, you know?" Harry pouted as I had told him I wasn't planning on going.

"Harry, I have my mid terms coming soon and I really need to study..." I argued while my eyes focused on my textbook.

"Baby, you're gonna ace that test anyways and you know it!" Harry played around with my free hand, letting it rest on his head as he leaned his head against my shoulder, encouraging me to play with his curls.

I wandered my hand around his luscious and beautiful curls, tugging lightly and combing through gently as I allowed myself to glance at him for a second.

He pouted and gave me puppy eyes and the truth is, who could say no to Harry with puppy eyes?

I sighed dramatically before continuing: "Fine, but I'll be warning you I won't even be watching you guys, I'm gonna bring my stuff along with me."

That earned me a happy kiss from Harry and I changed into my matching couple jersey, our initials and birth dates imprinted on it.

_______________________________________________________________________________

I took back what I said about not even watching them play as I'll be too busy studying. Even though initially I tried to focus on my study but the boys are just too funny and rowdy and all over the place. I was the only one by the bleachers.

It got even harder to concentrate when Harry took off his jersey because it was all sweaty. I think he might have known it turned me on as he winked cheekily several times at me too.

At one point, Liam hollered: "Who's the MVP now, huh?" and halfway writing my notes, I realized I had written: "who's the" instead of my actual notes.

That was the last straw as I admitted to myself that I wouldn't be actually doing my work. Hence, I set my books down and watched them play a full match whole-heartedly. My revision can wait.

After a while, Harry motioned for me to come over and I got off my seat. Harry smiled widely at me and suggested that I joined in. Since I was bored, I happily accepted.

"Lads, Y/N is joining as well and she'll be on my team! 3 on 3, anyone?" He announced proudly while wrapping his long arms around me protectively.

Louis, Niall and Zayn ended up being our opponent as we braced ourselves for the intense match.

Me and Harry gave each other high fives and fist pumps and I tied my hair up into a no-nonsense ponytail. Oh, it's on.

Liam signaled the game has started as he tossed the basketball up.

Both Harry and Zayn jumped for it and Harry got it successfully. He dribbled it a few times before passing it to me.

I took it and started running but Louis and Zayn were already on me, defending me completely. I took a glance at the hoop that was quite far away but since I had no choice, I attempted a 3 pointer.

Sadly, it hit the board and bounced away and the opposition possessed the ball now. Nonetheless, Harry called out: "Nice try, baby!!"

About 15 minutes into the game, I was sweating so much and needed to take a break. I bent down and took several deep breaths, trying to regain my composure. Harry saw me and anxiously ran up to me, not caring that the game was still going on.

He rested a hand on my back and rubbed it up and down several times. "You alright, kitten? You need a rest, huh?"

I only shook my head as a respond and gave a confident smile to him, saying that I would like to continue and I'm totally fine.

Harry still looked worried but didn't press on.

The game was now 34:30. We are currently leading because of Harry's aggressiveness, excellent shooting and our good communication and passing.

The game proceeded and I'm currently in hold of the ball when Zayn and Louis defended me. Suddenly out of nowhere, Harry dashed in between them and shouted: "On my shoulders!"

He bent down to an appropriate position and I quickly jumped on him, ball in hand. His neck is in between my thighs as his arms secured my legs so that I wouldn't fall.

Louis and Zayn were left stunned and Niall started laughing loudly, bending over while Liam mused: "Good strategy, Styles! I didn't even think about that!"

Me and Harry laughed as Harry ran up to the hoop and at this height, I was able to dunk it easily.

The ball goes through the hoop and everyone cheered. I bent over and Harry looked up and he gave each other a short and sweet kiss.

Everyone was laughing over that and for the rest of the game, we continued using the same technique and the opposition later copied us but you could obviously still guess who won.... ;)

Harry subtly cleared his throat as he mocked me in the car on the way back home. "Now who's the one who said she'll just sit out and focus on her studies?"

I blushed and playfully hit him across the chest. "Shut up, Styles!"

He only laughed, amused by my response. "That was a good game... I can't believe you thought of that though.." I said, rolling my eyes at him.

Harry grinned cheekily. "Any way to get you close to me, baby girl. You did pretty good as well! We should do that more often, the two of us."

I smiled and nodded in agreement. "Definitely."

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I know the picture above what nothing to do whatsoever with this imagine but omg, ain't that cute? Imagine Harry doing that thoughhhhh.... I wanted to include that but I don't want the imagine to be too long as well as it might get a bit boring after a while.

This is one of my personal favorites so far, what do you guys think? :)

Love, Cheryl x
