One Direction Preferences Book 2

189. You two are just friends, but the guys think you should date

Harry: You struggled to keep your eyes open to watch the movie as Harry kept his arms around you, your back resting against his chest. Eventually, you just decided to close your eyes, hoping he wouldn't mind. You heard the door opening and footsteps echoed through Harry's flat. "Hey lads," he murmured, guessing that the rest of One Direction had come to visit. "Harry, why didn't you tell us?" you heard Niall's voice ask. "Tell you what?" Harry was just as confused as you were. You decided to keep your eyes closed, wanting to know what all this was about. "I knew you and (Y/N) had a thing," Liam commented. Your eyes almost flew open in shock but you managed to keep them shut, still listening intently. "We're not together!" Harry quickly said, shifting against you. "We're really good friends," he said more quietly. "Doesn't look like it," Louis teased. "You two would make a good couple," he added. "Whatever," Harry scoffed; still keeping you close to his chest. "Just think about it mate," Zayn suggested. You heard the four boys leave, leaving you and Harry alone with your thoughts.

Liam: "What should I get (Y/N) for her birthday?" Liam asked out loud to the four boys around him. "A kiss," Niall joked, making kissy faces at him. Liam merely laughed and shook his head, "No seriously guys, I want to get her something nice." Louis spoke up saying, "Well maybe Niall has a point. I'm sure (Y/N) wouldn't mind a little smooch from you." "We're just friends," Liam said blandly. "Bullshit!" Louis exclaimed, earing laughter from everyone but Liam. "You guys would be the perfect couple," Zayn mused as he picked on the buttons of his flannel. "And it's obvious she's into you." Leaning back in his chair, Liam thought over what the boys had told him, "I don't know. Maybe-" He was interrupted by the loud vibrations of his phone on the coffee table, adverting his attention to it. But before he could get to it, there were four other boys lunging after it. Quickly doing the same, Liam ended up having to wrestle Louis for it. "Niall catch!" Louis threw it to Niall, who caught it easily and opened up the text. "It's (Y/N)! 'I had fun last night Li'," he read out loud. Teasing Liam relentlessly, Louis released Liam who retrieved his phone from the blonde, scowling.

Zayn: "So how's it like being friends with benefits with (Y/N)?" Zayn looked up from his phone to see Harry lounging on the couch, waiting for an answer. Sighing, Zayn sat up a little straighter; this was the one thing he hadn't told the boys. "How did you find out?" Harry merely shrugged, saying, "The pictures of her leaving your flat at three in the morning look a bit dodgy." Zayn let out a frustrated groan, knowing he would get an earful from management. As if he was reading his mind Harry spoke up once again, "Don't worry. Management shot the rumors down quick; seeing as you haven't told them about your relationship with her yet." "You said it yourself, we're just friends with benefits," Zayn said, irritated with this whole situation. "I did say that. But I also know that it never works out like that." "What do you mean?" Zayn turned his head to Harry. "I mean that you should probably stop being so casual with her and make things official before this gets out of hand," as Harry said this he began to get up from his seat, pausing in the door way to say, "Louis, Liam, and Niall think so too." Zayn shook his head and chuckled to himself, leaning back to think about what Harry said.

Louis: There were four pairs of eyes glued on Louis who was currently directing all his attention to his phone. He tapped away at it as he wrote you another reply to the countless number of texts you sent each other. "How long until you think he'll notice?" Niall asked, eyeing the older boy. "I don't know," Harry replied. "But (Y/N) has got him whipped." The boys chuckled and Louis finally looked up from his phone, but still kept it in his hand. "I hope you all know that I heard everything you said." "Good," Niall piped up. "When are you going to tell everyone about you and (Y/N)?" he asked curiously. "We're not together lads," Louis replied simply. "Well then you should do something about that because she's got you under control through text messages," Harry chimed in. "What, I can't text her?" Louis defended himself, trying to get off the topic. "Come on Lou, go for her! She's so fit!" there was a chorus of agreements, making Louis glare at them, "So now all of you think she's fit?" "Is that jealousy I hear in your voice?" Zayn said, pretending to strain his ears. "What happened to 'we're not together'?" Before anything else could be said Louis' phone had beeped once again, signaling another text from you and making the boys laugh as he typed away another message.

Niall: "Cut it out Niall!" you protested with a laugh as he tried to knock the controller out of your hands once again. He flashed you a grin before returning his attention back to the TV screen. You two were playing FIFA and he wasn't too thrilled about you leading so far. After you had scored another goal Niall groaned, getting up and announcing that he was going to get something to eat. You laughed at his competitive side and leaned back on the couch. After ten minutes had passed you decided to see what was taking him so long. You made you way to the kitchen but stopped right before the doorway, hearing Niall talk into his phone. "She's my friend Liam." You felt bad for eavesdropping but your curiosity got the best of you. "Of course I do! Who wouldn't like her, she's gorgeous," he said with a sigh, looking defeated. Your eyes widened, and you silently prayed that he was talking about you. After a few seconds you heard his famous laugh, "Yeah, I'll just ask her out as we play video games. How romantic." You stifled a giggle and just before you left you heard Niall once again, "Don't worry. I'll ask her out soon."
