Niall Horan Imagines/Preferences

Clingy

"How are you and y/n doing?" Liam asked Niall. The boys were around at yours and Niall's apartment; they were sitting in the front room talking about random things whilst you were in the kitchen making a few snacks for them. You stopped when you heard them talking about your relationship.

"We're good mate yeah......" Niall said trailing off

"Why do I feel like there's more to it than that?" Harry chimed in.

"It's just...she can be a little, what's the word...clingy" Niall admitted, making it feel like your heart had just dropped. "Like she always wants to do stuff, I need my own space, it can be so annoying and when I go out she asks if I want her to come with me and I can't say no because she'll think I don't want her to and......"

You stopped listening to the conversation after that and quickly finished off making the snacks, once you had finished you left them on the table not even bothering to tell Niall that they were ready, he'd figure it out in his own time, instead you went upstairs and just laid in bed, having an early night.

The next morning you woke up with the sun shining down on your face and felt the strong arms of Niall wrapped around you, that's when everything came flooding back to you, how Niall told the lads that you were clingy and how it was annoying him. You felt a kiss on your cheek, "Good morning princess" you turned to face your now awake boyfriend, his eyes still a little tired since he just got up and his morning voice still a little gruff.

"Morning, sleep well?" you asked. Niall kissed you on the forehead then looked back at you "Of course I did, I got to sleep next to the most amazingly beautiful girl in the world," he said making you blush yet a little mad too, he's acting as if everything was normal. You got out of bed quickly, "Y/n babeeeeeee come back, cuddle with me," Niall protested. "Err sorry Ni, I'm hungry and I made plans for the day," you said quickly whilst rushing out of the room. Niall looked a little stunned by your quick exit out of the room.

You texted your friend to see if she was free to go shopping, thankfully she was, so you made plans to meet in an hour. After saying a quick good bye to Niall, you rushed off, determined to show Niall that you weren't as clingy as he thought you were.

For the next few days, you managed to keep your distance from Niall, he had noticed all the little things that you no longer did and it made him frown, he was worried about you.

Niall walked in to your room, "Hey princess I'm going out to get a few things," you just nodded your head not taking eyes off of your computer screen. Niall furrowed his eyebrows, "Don't you wanna come with me?" he asked sceptically. You looked towards him and shook your head "No, you go, have fun" you said trying to put on a genuine smile, when in reality it was killing you inside to not go over and kiss him and cuddle like you normally would, but you don't want to appear clingy.

"Y/n" Niall said, his voice stern, making you close your laptop so you gave him all of your attention. His eyes looked hurt and full of pain, "Did I.....did I do something wrong?" he asked coming closer to you sitting next to you on the bed, placing your hands in his. You looked in his eyes, silence taking over both of you for a minute whilst you decided whether to tell him the truth or not, you decided against it, shaking your head, "What? No, nothing's wrong, why would you think that?" you asked.

"Don't lie to me y/n, I know you better than anyone else, you haven't been yourself lately, I feel like I'm losing you, you never want to cuddle anymore, you barely hang out with me, you've been going out a lot more than usual and without me, I miss you" he said, his eyes getting teary and his voice full of hurt and sadness. Seeing Niall this way made you feel horrible, so you decided to tell him

"I heard" you whispered. Niall looked confused, "Heard what?" he answered, his voice cracking a little.

"The other day, when the boys came round, you said I was clingy, you said things like you needed space and that I was annoying, so I gave you what you wished for.....space. Do you have any idea how much hearing that come from you hurt me?" you asked a tear falling down your cheek. Niall looked like he was soaking all of the information you just told him in and then his eyes widened in realisation "Shit" he muttered.

He wiped away the tear that was rolling down your cheek and placed his finger under your chin so you were looking right at him, "Y/n I am so sorry. No. Sorry doesn't even cut it right now. I shouldn't have said that at all, none of it was true, I guess at the time I was feeling horrible and I said things that I didn't mean to say, you're not clingy at all, and these last few days have proved how much I miss you and crave your touch and your presence, without you I feel worthless and dead inside. I can't believe you heard me say that, like I said I am SO sorry! I've been a horrible boyfriend, I don't deserve you, I've missed you like crazy over the past few days and it's made me realise how much I couldn't live life without you. Please forgive me?" He finished.

You both just sat there for a few minutes in silence, Niall looked nervous about what you were going to say, eventually you spoke "You're not a horrible boyfriend Niall, of course I forgive you, I guess I should have just spoken to you about it instead of avoiding you for the past few days, I'm sorry" you finished.

Niall shook his head and brought you into a hug putting his head between your neck and shoulder gently placing little kisses until he reached your lips, "I love you, never leave me" he said. You shook your head "Never" you replied.

For the rest of the day you both kissed and cuddled, watching movies wrapped in each other's arms with your legs tangled. Neither of you wanting to be anywhere else but together.
