One Year (Narry AU) - Completed

Chapter 19

HARRY'S POV

I wanted to hang out with Niall after school, but apparently he was going Christmas shopping with Liam, so I had to settle for Louis. I didn't mind too much since I hadn't spent enough quality time with my best friend lately. Louis was always with Liam, and I had been with Niall.

"What do you think Liam will buy me?" Louis wondered almost like to himself while we were watching Friends at my apartment.

"I don't know," I answered before continuing "Do you think Niall will get me something?"

"Why wouldn't he?" Louis raised his eyebrows. I shrugged my shoulders and suddenly a thought hit me.

"Lou I haven't bought anything to Niall! We have to go Christmas shopping too."

"Calm down Haz there's still some time left," Louis said.

"Let's go to the mall," I commanded.

First Louis had said no, but after 15 minutes of begging he finally gave in and we left my apartment. I had no idea where Liam and Niall had went and I hoped they wouldn't be at the mall. I didn't want to run into them while doing Christmas shopping, the worst case would be that Niall saw what I was going to buy for him.

I already had an idea, I knew exactly what I wanted to buy for Niall. Louis and I went to a few stores and I bought some presents for my mum, sister and step dad. Louis had already found something for Liam and when we went to the next store, I finally found a perfect gift for Niall.

"Shopping success!" Louis gave me a high five.

"Let's go to Starbucks," I said and started dragging Louis over to the coffee shop. I knew Louis would want to continue shopping but I was feeling tired and wanted to sit down for a nice cup of coffee.

We were paying for our coffees when Louis laughed quietly and I turned my head to see what was so funny. In the corner table I saw Niall and Liam and couldn't help but to laugh too.

"Hey lads," I greeted them before sitting down next to Niall.

"Fancy seeing you here," Liam joked and gave Louis a quick kiss.

"Yeah what are you doing here?" Niall most likely was asking me, since the two lover boys were focusing on each others.

"We did some shopping," I smiled to the Irish boy.

For some reason, Niall was looking cuter than probably ever. I had already noticed it earlier at school, but I hadn't had too much time to admire his looks. He had a gray beanie over his head covering his hair and he was wearing an over sized black hoodie paired with blue skinny jeans. The hoodie made him look small but adorable, and suddenly I found myself wrapping my arms around his waist.

"Where did that come from?" Niall chuckled while I was still hugging him. His arm was petting my back while I was hugging him sideways, our position was somewhat strange but I didn't mind the slightest bit.

"Felt like it," I mumbled against his neck.

"I was thinking... Could I come over on Sunday?" Niall whispered so only I could hear him. I nodded quickly, my head still pressed against the side of his neck.

"I just... Want to see you before I leave and give you your present," he explained, still whispering.

"You didn't have to..." I tried to protest but Niall cut me off short. "Don't start," he warned.

I pulled away from the hug and looked into his eyes before giving him one of my dashing smiles. Niall smiled happily and turned his eyes away, taking a sip of his coffee.
