Niall Horan Imagines

Joke (Request)

I furrowed my eyebrows, quickly picking up the phone.

"Niall? Is something wrong?" I wondered, sitting down on the couch. He only ever called me during the day if something was really wrong. We only talked at night for the most part.

"No, I just wanted to talk to you about something," he said, sounding rushed. I sighed out.

"Okay, but is everything alright?" I asked again, playing with the hem of my shirt.

"Yeah. Are you alone?" he asked, his voice softening. His end of the phone sounded fuzzy for a second, and I leaned against the back of the couch, staring up at the ceiling.

"Yeah," I breathed out, wondering what he could be so urgent about.

"Larissa?" he asked. I was about to answer when he spoke over me. "I love you." The line was quiet, and so was I, my mouth hanging open. How did he know how I felt about him?

He feels the same way?

I decided to take it as a joke, chuckling.

"I love you, too," I joked, blushing to myself. He let out a chortle.

"Good, but I was serious," he spoke, making my stomach drop. I heard someone else giggle behind him, and I knew for sure it was a joke.

"Me too," I chuckled, chewing on my lip.

"Okay, bye," he said quickly, hanging up on me. I furrowed my eyebrows, sighing into the quiet that was abundant in the room as my heart pounded ceaselessly.

I heard my phone ding as it still sat next to my ear, resting on my shoulder. I picked it up, seeing a message from Niall.

It was a prank, love you xD

The 'love you' seemed foreign and dangerous in that moment, making me feel different yet good.

A few hours later, he burst in through the door, dripping wet from the rain outside. I stood up to meet him, alarmed.

"It wasn't a joke," he let out, closing his mouth and breathing heavily through his nose, making his chest puff in and out. I did the same, breathing, for a few seconds before reciprocating.

"You love me?" I repeated, confused. Did he know that I loved him, too?

"Yes," he grinned, stepping closer to me. "I've been wanting to tell you for quite some time, now," he shrugged, making me inhale sharply.

"So have I," I whispered, looking down. He had made a puddle on the floor from the water dripping off of him, and I smiled.

"I'm going to kiss you now," he whispered back. I quickly looked up at him, long enough to see the yearning in his eyes before he indeed kissed me.

And you best believe I kissed him back.
