A Claddagh ring has a heart with a crown being held up by two hands. It stands for Love, Loyalty, and Friendship. Wearing it on your right hand ring finger with the heart facing away from yourself means you're not in a relationship. Having the heart facing towards yourself is being in a relationship. Once there's a Claddagh ring on the left hand, that usually a sign of an engagement or marriage. If the heart is facing away from how, that means that you're is engaged. If the heart it facing towards you, it means that you're married.

Niall had planned a pottery date, you both had made cups from clay (with a heavy hand from the instructor). Niall re-enacted the Ghost movie scene with you. You both let the mugs bake and came back a couple weeks later to paint and design them. Today was the day that you two had to pick them up. Niall made a huge deal about it, he took you to lunch and then had a mock gallery opening for your two mugs. He bad a mini photo shoot with you and the mugs before having the worker take a photo of the both of you with your mugs. It was all fun to be able to be silly with him. But the best and saddest part was when you two were leaving the studio...

He dropped the mug.

He pouted deeply and was quiet in the car on the way back to his for movie and cuddles (and maybe some kisses). When you two got inside, you washed your cup out and placed it in his cupboard.

"Y/N, you don't need to do that." He said and sighed softly. "It's yours. You worked hard."

"It's ours and I'll need a mug here anyways, don't you think?" You asked, leaning against the counter.

With a smirk, Niall sauntered his way over and pressed his lips firmly on yours, hand gently cupping your neck.

After dinner, you two moved to the couch and turned on the TV, putting on a random comedy.

You and Niall were cuddling on his couch, legs tangled together, your head rested against his shoulder, and the television on low.

Your right hand was rubbing along his chest gently, your ring catching the light. He covered your hand with his and smiled a bit. "Today was fun." He murmured and shifted his head down to kiss your forehead.

You smiled and hummed softly. "It was." You glanced up at him and he brought your knuckles to his lips. "I especially loved when you dropped the cup you worked so hard on." You giggle.

He whined and laced your fingers, studying the ring on your right ring finger. The heart was facing outwards.

You watched his face for a moment before shifting your gaze to the screen.

You two had been dating for a couple months, but had known each other before then. He was one of your favourite people and you were one of his.

"I think it's time to turn the heart facing in, don't you." He murmured and slowly pulled your ring off your finger.

"Is this your way of asking us to be exclusively dating?" You tried to tease, but your stomach was fluttering with butterflies.

"This is my way of asking you if you want to be my girlfriend." He said simply, meeting your eyes with a smile.

After pretending to think for a moment, you hummed and held your hand out for him, "Of course I'll be your girlfriend."

Niall grinned as he pushed the ring onto your finger, heart facing in.

You leaned in, cupping his cheeks, lips pressing gently against his. He shifts you to be more on top of him, his hand rubbing up and down your back gently.
