#12 - Your friends with one of the boys and he sets you up.

Zayn: After meeting Harry at a cd signing you two became good friends. You loved hanging out with him and people joked that they could picture you two together. Ironically, Harry had other ideas. “You like bad boys right Y/N?” Harry asked you as you finished your hair. You two had plans to go out for lunch to celebrate your new flat. “Weird question, but yeah I suppose. Why?” you asked, though you were pretty sure you knew why. “A bad boy might just be meeting us for lunch” Harry smirked. “Knew it” you replied, slipping your shoes on as Harry followed behind you. “Give him a chance” Harry groaned and you shrugged. “Fine” you agreed, grabbing your purse and heading to Harry’s car. When you arrived at the restaurant, Zayn was sitting at a table for four. You walked in and confidently walked up to him. “Hi, I’m Y/N” you said, smiling. You felt Harry put his arm on your shoulder and squeeze past you, into the booth. “Lovely to meet you, I have heard a lot about you” Zayn said, and you smiled. “I have heard a lot about you too” you said, turning to Harry who’s face was already in the menu. You and Zayn sat down, not taking your eyes off each other. You all ate, and chatted. At the end of the lunch, you all stood. “Um, Y/N, how would you like to maybe come with me and do some shopping or something?” Zayn asked, and you smiled at his wavering confidence. “I would love to” you said. As you smiled at Zayn, Harry started patting himself on the back. “Ultimate matchmaker, my work here is done” he said, and you and Zayn laughed as he left the restaurant.

Niall: You had met Liam through Andy, who you had met when you were helping a friend at a modelling gig. You and Liam really hit things off, and became close friends. You were like his sister, he was very protective over you and liked to pick on you, too. He had scared away a couple boyfriends in the past, and you were running low on options. “I know a guy you would love” Liam said, as you two discussed the issue while watching basketball. “Does his name rhyme with ‘Fiall Doran’?” you asked, and Liam smirked and wiggled his eyebrows. “No bueno” you said, and Liam’s face dropped. You always had an adverse reaction to Liam wanting you to date Niall. He had been asking you to give him a shot for a while now, but you knew what Liam’s life was like. Party after party, flight after flight, girl after girl. You didn’t want to be a random thing for some pop star. You were better than that. “Just, give him a chance Y/N. What’s the worst that could happen?” Liam asked, and you sighed. “Okay okay, fine” you agreed, and Liam’s eyes brightened. He was immediately on the phone with Niall, and co-ordinated him picking you up from Liam’s that night for a movie. You got ready and got clothes from your place before waiting, anxiously, at Liam’s. “Don’t be nervous” Liam said, and you shook your head. “I’m not” you argued, but the doorbell rang and you jumped. Liam nodded sarcastically at you, before getting the door. You picked up your purse and joined him. “Hi, I’m Niall” the cute blonde boy said, and you smiled. “Y/N” you said, sticking your hand out to shake his. You two went to the movie and you ended up having a great time. Not wanting to go home, Niall took you for ice cream so you two could get to know each other better. From then on, Liam would joke that he was going to become a celebrity matchmaker. 

Harry: You met Niall at a football match, and you two had become really close. Originally, Niall had asked you out on a date. When you two went out, you both agreed that there was more of a friendship vibe between you two. Little did you two know that the friendship vibe was going to lead to you two being best friends. You went to Niall for everything, so it was normal for you to approach him with being lonely, too. “I just wish I had someone who, like, loved me. Just, adored me” you said, lounging on his couch while he sprawled out on the floor. “I know what you mean. I wish I could find a girl who just cared about me in a romantic heavy way” Niall confessed. “What about Charlotte?” You asked, turning to face him and shooting him a wink. Charlotte was your friend from London, and you always thought she and Niall would be great together. Niall usually denied it right away, but it seemed like he was thinking it over this time. “What if we double date? You bring her, I bring someone, we all find love” Niall suggested, and you giggled. “Let’s do it. Tomorrow night? That restaurant in Chelsea we went to?” you asked, and Niall gave you the thumbs up. The next day, you and Charlotte were walking to the restaurant from your car. “How ya feeling?” you asked Charlotte, and she shrugged. “Nervous” she whispered, and you giggled. Her nerves paled in comparison to yours when you saw who was waiting. Harry Styles stood up, alongside Niall, and smiled at you. “Y/N, nice to finally meet you” Harry said, and you hugged him. The dinner went famously for you and Harry. Charlotte had found Niall boring while Niall found Charlotte immature, but there was a definite spark between you and Harry. You two made plans to hang out that weekend, and Niall kept making kissy faces at you the whole night.

Louis: After you met Zayn at a party, you two had become very close. Zayn was great for you. He was a great listener and an awesome distraction. But a boyfriend he was not. And that was what you were after at this point in your life. “So, what is it you look for in a man?” Zayn asked, resting his head on his fist and looking at you with a serious expression. “Well doc, I like a funny guy for sure. I love when a guy can make me laugh. I like someone who’s confident. Family oriented. Easy going. Smart, adventurous. Someone ready to sort of, like, settle down” you said, and Zayn smirked. “What creep?” you said, and Zayn shook his head. “You literally just described Lou” he said, and you rolled your eyes. “Why are you so about me and Louis? Are you like this with him?” you asked, and Zayn nodded. “I don’t know, I like you two together. It’d be cute. I ship you” he winked, and you pretended to throw up. “One date. Just one. I will even join” he said, and you rolled your eyes. “Set it up and I’ll show up” you said, and Zayn hopped up to get to work. He decided that you two would be best suited for a day out at Hyde Park. You met the boys there, and as you walked up you could see Louis smile from behind his sunglasses. You were glad yours hid your face well, you probably looked way to excited. “Louis, nice to finally meet you” he said, hugging you. You hugged him back and Zayn smiled and gave you a thumbs up. You and Louis walked and talked while Zayn hung back. You two really hit it off. After about an hour, you were kind of sick of the garden. “I’m probably going to run” you said, and Louis nodded. “We should go out again sometime, I mean, just so he’s not crushed” Louis smirked, nodding at Zayn. You laughed and nodded, before putting your number in Louis’s phone. Zayn let out a cat call whistle and you hugged them both before heading to your car where a text from Louis was waiting.

Liam: You had met Louis through Eleanor, and you two had become best buds. Eleanor liked that, when she wasn’t there, you were able to fend off girls. There was no attraction between you and Louis, and you both liked it that way. One night, you were over at Louis’s having a few glasses of wine. You were both getting pretty drunk, when Louis had the bright idea to prank call the boys. You had never met any of them, but all you ever heard about was how ‘great you and Liam would be together’ from both Louis and El. And low and behold, he was the first one Louis wanted to call. “Hello?” a voice chimed from the other end of the phone, and you were already giggling. “Hi there, is this Liam?” Louis asked in a terrible mix of southern american and jamaican accent. “Uhhh” Liam answered, and you smiled. He seemed cute. “This here is Wanda, telling you you’re fortune” Louis continued, and you covered your face with a pillow to keep from giving it away. “What is this?” Liam asked, and Louis started laughing. You took over. “Listen Liam, you need to try a new venture in love my child” you said, and Louis started settling down. “Love?” Liam questioned, and Louis grabbed the phone. “A friend is going to bring you love’s gift. It will be in the form of a beautiful girl. The friend will be a close brother to you. Take this gift” he said, winking at you before he hung up. “Wait two minutes, then I’m setting you two up” Louis said, and you shook your head and rolled your eyes. He called Liam back, and tried to employ his best sober voice. “He Li, its me… Weird, Wanda you said?” Louis started, and you giggled before taking another sip of wine. “Strange stuff. Anyway, you know my friend Y/N? I think you should take her out… Wanda said what?… Wow, she knew… No, you have to now… Alright mate, pick her up at 6:15 at my place. See you, love you” he said, hanging up. The next day, at 6:15 on the dot, Liam knocked on the door with flowers for you. He took you to dinner, and you two really hit it off. Louis eventually fessed up to the Wanda thing, but still forced you to call him Cupid on occasion.
