Going the Right Direction(A One Direction Story)

Burning Popcorn and Cleaning Cuts

"Besides buddy, we think you have the cutest smile in the world! Right Dai?" Louis said. Wow, they might bicker a lot, but they really cared for each other.. Wait, what? Did he mention me?

I stared at Niall, trying to re-process Louis words, while I tried to hide the razor again in my back pocket, succeding at the first try. That's when Niall put his head up and noticed me for the first time. You could see something happened to him, when my eyes met his for the first time. But I wasn't exactly at my sanest level, and with all the comparing myself to Harry, I concluded this was part of my imagination as well, and said:

"Hi Niall, I really don't know you much, but Liam is right, if they're real fans they'll love you no matter what.. And I bet you're a great guy, and really shouldn't care what other people think of you, just believe in yourself and that's all it takes to feel better" I said, trying to smile.

Ha. I could maybe be good making other people feel better about themselves, but if somebody else came up to me and told me all those things I just said.. I would've thought it was a load of bullshit.

But, he was not me. His face broke into the hugest grin I had ever seen in my life. I could see what he was talking about. He did have two crooked theeth on the right side of his mouth, altought he had braces on, so I didn't really get what the fuzz was about.. I thought it was absolutely cute.

He turned and whispered something to Liam, and then got a whisper back from him.

They all turned to look at me at the same time.

I'm starting to freak out over here..

I turned to Niall and smiled more, wishing that they would turn their eyes away from me.

"Thanks, you have a pretty nice smile too" He blushed, smiling even more at me. I could accept a compliment, but never believe it. I didn't get much of those anyways.

Aw, but who am I kidding? He's cute!

Woah, woah, woah, cute? Dai.. Don't you dare fall for this kid, I thought to myself. Ever since I came into this house I've been having weird thoughts and battles in my head. And it's been.. what? Less than an hour and a half?

"Why don't we watch a movie? Niall and Dai can pick, since she's new here. We can get to know each other better in the morning, after you get your sleep" Harry said clapping his hands together, after an awkward silence.

"YAAAAAAY! MOVIE NIGHT! I'LL GET THE POPCORN LADS!" I swear to god, one more scream from Louis, and he'll wake up with tons of duct tape covering his mouth.. And I don't break my promises. Not that there's too many to make.. I sighed inside my head.

Zayn chuckled, and Harry ran out of the room, yelling after Louis:

"I'll help you babe! Last time you almost blew up the microwave.." Harry raced after him

"Did not!" I laughed, I could almost see Louis pouting as he responded from the kitchen.

"He did" Zayn turned to me. "He forgot to take the plastic off and then accidentally put them on for two hours, not two seconds.."

"I don't remember that.." Niall said, a confused frown on his face.

"Because we weren't in the house at the time.. Harry called me to hurry up and help him clean it up. Apparently Louis left the house for some reason and Harry only realized until the popcorn had been inside the microwave for fifteen minutes.. The thing was all black on the inside, and the plastic.. Well, we couldn't really tell, but we think it evaporated or something. And since Lou got really embarrassed, he made us promise not to tell you guys.. But too late" Zayn chuckled. We all laughed. I chuckled quietly, Liam snorted a bit and Niall.. Niall was literally crying from laughter.

"Oh, oh god, that was just so, oh no, how stupid! Haha, he's never hearing the end of this.. Ohmygod.." Niall said in between of short breaths and laughter.

"Well, come on Zayn, let's go get some blankets, you guys pick out the movie.." Liam said, still chuckling.

"Ok, Li-Li" Niall said, jumping of the couch he had fallen on when he was laughing.

"What type of movies do you guys like?" I asked shyly, turning my head to face his, when the other two where gone from the room.

"Well, the lads go for more cheesy and Disney movies" He said rolling his eyes. "But I like horror movies" He grined again.

Wow, he was really cute.. Wait, what? Who said that?8)

"No way, I love horror movies too! Do you guys have REC? I haven't seen it in a while.." I got a feeling that Niall and I were going to get along really well.

"Oh yes! We got them over here, come on.." He took my left hand in his, and started to walk, but didn't even take two steps when he froze. I wondered what had gotten into him when I suddenly remembered.. That was the hand I had cut myself not minutes ago.

Shit, please don't ask, please don't ask! Why couldn't he grab the other hand instead?

"Oh my god, Dai, what happened to your hand?" He whispered inspecting my small gash. His mood changing from relaxed and fun, to concerned and worried.

"I uhh.. Uh.. I accidentaly cut myself at the airport, I guess I forgot to wash it.." I laughed nervously.. At least he didn't shout or ask more questions. For some reason it felt wrong to lie to this kid.

"Doesn't it hurt?" I heard concern in his voice. "Come on let's go help you clean up, and I'll but you a bandage.."

"It's really not necessary.." I started. It would just feel weird to not clean MY cuts myself.

"No, but I want to help, like you helped me" He smiled at me a little.

Oh God, I could have melted on the spot. Normally I would never be into guys like Niall; I was more into, Ben Bruce or Kellin Quinn type of guys.. Bad-ass-ish, tattoos, longish hair, piercings.. Maybe even a little like Zayn. He was cool looking. I couldn't say of his personality, cause I didn't know him, but hey, he was appealing to me. Tattoos and piercings? Total turn-ons for me. And I kind of liked how he shaved his head.. Not to much, but still short enough on the sides to notice the difference from the top.

Still, there was something about Niall that was just so..

I mentally slapped myself. Stupid Dai, you've only known them for less than an hour and you allready have a stupid crush on the Irish boy.. Goddamit.

So I followed Niall to the nearest bathroom and watched as he cleaned my cut, calmly as he could.

Maybe not in a mushy or romantic way, but it was the care he showed by doing it slowly, and asking if it hurt at the slight flinch I would make, that made me like him even more.
