Harry POV

As we're walking towards the centre of the food court where all the seats are situated, I slow down my pace so that I'm walking next to Niall. Ryan and Zayn are in front of us, talking about their favorite flavors of ice cream or whatever.

I grin at Niall who's looking around the food court, taking spoonfuls of his cookies and cream ice cream as he walks.

"Looks like we're both fans of cookies and cream." I didn't mean to startle him, but he jumps and splatters some of his ice cream onto my face, a particularly big glob landing on my cheek.

I squint my eyes and let out a breathy chuckle. That wasn't supposed to happen. Niall's eyes pop open so wide that he looks like a furby, and his mouth forms a small 'o'. This is such a perfect Kodak moment, I internally smirk.

The melting glob makes its way down my cheek, leaving a cold, sticky trail in its wake. Niall scrambles for some napkins, but since Yogurtworld didn't give us any, he compromises by using the sleeve of his gray sweatshirt.

As he's gently wiping away the ice cream from my face, his eyes are filled with embarrassment. Using my large hand that's not holding two cups of ice cream, I lightly grab a hold of his wrist and slowly bring our hands down in between us. His eyes hold fear and guilt as he gazes into mine.

No, I can't have him feeling like that. The sad, fearful look on his face makes my stomach twist into a knot. I don't know anything about him, but I already know that I can't stand to see him upset. Ever. I offer him a toothy grin, reassuring him that he has nothing to be embarrassed about. "Hey, I love cookies and cream, so it's alright." I softly say to him.

Still grasping his wrist, I lead him towards the other lads who are far ahead of us now. Once we find Louis and introductions are made, I hand Louis his ice cream and take a seat next to Zayn. Niall's sitting directly across from me with Ryan sitting on his right. In no time, we're all chatting as if we have been friends for a long time, cackles and giggles bursting out every few seconds, disturbing the people around us. Zayn's retelling of his first time on a plane is interrupted when a loud ringtone goes off.

I like big butts and I cannot lie

You other brothers can't deny

That when a girl walks in-

"Hello?" Ryan asks into his phone.

I don't know who's on the other line, but from the deep voice and loud yelling, I do know that he's mad. Ryan flinches and holds his phone away from his ear. He gets up and holds up a finger to excuse himself from the table. I look at Niall, and he shrugs, unaware of what's going on as well.

Zayn continues talking about his plane experience, earning laughs from Niall and even a few chuckles from Lou and I even though we were there with him when it happened. "Lou thought it'd be brilliant to tell me that the plane does a loop de loop after it takes off! 'Course I was scared shitless!"

Niall's face is cutely scrunched up in hysteria, gasping for breath as his lungs are losing oxygen. Ryan appears behind him and pats him on the back. He takes his seat and jokes, "I leave for one minute and you're already trying to kill poor NiNi."
