You’re My Everlasting Light

Chapter 3

Today was Niall’s second day of work, and he was already shaking from anticipation. He had made $20 dollars out of his hourly pay, and $40 in tips. And that was only one day!

As he stood at the oak counter, he tapped his foot and drummed his fingers, impatiently waiting for a customer.

A specific costumer.

But first, a tall, muscular man walked in. He had a black quaff, and sparkling brown eyes. Niall guessed he was from Pakistan, but he wasn’t sure.

“Vas happenin?!” The man chimed happily, smiling at Niall. “Um… not much. Vas happenin with you?” Niall questioned back, repeating the boy.

“Oh, same. I’ll just have one blueberry muffin please!” The man chirped in a bit of a funny accent. Niall smiled and nodded, grabbing a blueberry muffin from the kitchen and handing it to the taller lad.

“So, what’s your name, sir?” Niall questioned, grinning slightly. “Zayn. What’s yours?” Zayn asked, smiling back at him.

“Horan. Niall Horan, thanks.” Niall said casually, shaking Zayn’s hand.

“It’s was nice to meet you Zayn. I’ll see you around, yeah?” Niall questioned, raising an eyebrow. “Yeah, of course.” Zayn said, before waving and exiting.

About 10 minutes passed before the same spunky curls walked through the door, eyes shining as usual, and smile present.

Niall smiled, happy Harry had actually come back. “Hello again, Niall!” Harry chimed, walking quickly to the counter.

“Hello Harry! Wow, you remembered my name!” Niall exclaimed, a little bit surprised. “Well, of course I did! I’m actually really surprised you remembered mine!” Harry retorted, smirking at Niall.

“Of course I did! I couldn’t forget you.” Niall said, not thinking before speaking. Harry blushed and Niall immediately smirked. Nice one Horan.

“Um… just one chocolate chip cookie please.” Harry said, the blush slowly disappearing and his usual confident look taking place once again.

Niall nodded, grabbing the cookie from the kitchen and handing it to Harry, the same long fingers as yesterday skimming over his.

“You’re nice Niall. I really like you.” Harry said casually. “I really like you too Harry.” Niall said, making Harry smile.

“I’d um, love to, uh, hang out with you some time. Or something.” Harry said quietly, looking embarrassed already. Niall smile automatically widened, “Of course! I’d love to hang you out with you!” Niall chirped back, immediately regretting it. That was way too strong.

Yet Niall was slightly proud as he saw Harry’s face brighten like the sun.

“Awesome! Um… Heres my number. Text me, you know… when you get off or something.” Harry said, handing Niall a small piece of paper. Niall nodded, smiling at Harry.

Harry nodded back, waving and then exiting the store.

Niall may or may not have done a happy dance afterwards.

Harry sat in his flat, trying to watch TV. But all he could think about was Niall. Niall, Niall, Niall. That’s all.

Harry loved his flowing blonde hair, and soft blue eyes. He loved his plump lips, and crooked smile.

Niall wasn’t his ideal type. He was much smaller than Harry, and he seemed kind of quirky, and perked.

But Harry didn’t mind.

His phone began to play the song ‘Annie You’re A Star’ and Harry quickly snatched it. He knew it was probably just Louis, asking if he could come and hang out.

But he wasn’t going to deny that he wasn’t surprised when an unknown number popped up on the screen. Harry clicked read in anticipation, smiling as he read the text.

Hello Harry! You told me to text you when I got off, so here I am, off, and texting you. How are you? And did you still want to hand out? :)’

Harry smiled widely, immediately typing a reply.

Hello there Niall! Of course I’d still love to hang out with you. And im good, thanks. Where and when? :)’ Harry pressed send, waiting anxiously for a reply.

About 2 minutes later, Niall texted back ‘My flat? It’s not great or anything, but it’s a start! I have food, and games. :D’ Harry smiled, nodding, even though Niall couldn’t see him.

Sounds fun! Text the address and I’ll be there in a snap!’

*

Harry smirked as the smaller flat came into view. It was nice on the outside, so he could only assume it would be the same on the inside.

He parked his car in the driveway, walking to Niall’s door and knocking. What if this was a prank? What if he didn’t even live here? But Harry’s doubts were all replaced with butterflies as he heard the familiar Irish accent. “Just a minute!” Niall called, making Harry grin.

A few seconds later the door swung open, revealing a short and beaming Niall. “Welcome!” He chimed, motioning for Harry to come in. Harry smirked at the nice space, nodding at Niall. “I like it!”

Niall smiled, “Thanks! I’m glad.” He exclaimed, walking next to Harry. “So, food or games first?” Niall asked, grinning at Harry.

“Hm… both?” Harry questioned, smirking back at him.

*

Niall dished up the plates of chicken, handing one to Harry and keeping one to himself. “So, what game do you wanna play?” Harry questioned, sitting down on Niall’s leather sofa.

“Truth or Dare!” Niall quickly replied, smiling at him. Harry nodded, motioning for Niall to start.

“Okay, truth or dare?”

“Truth.”

“Aw, you woos!” Niall complained, grinning at Harry. “Am not! Just ask me a freaking question.” Harry nagged, chuckling a bit.

“Okay… do you have a girlfriend?” Niall asked, his smirk dropping. This was a now or never moment.

“I don’t have a girlfriend.” Harry said, smiling at Niall. Niall nodded, waiting for Harry to continue.

“Truth or Dare?”

“Truth.”

“Okay, same for you. Do you have a girlfriend?” Harry questioned. “No, I don’t.” Niall said honestly, feeling accomplished. Harry was single!

“Cool.” Harry said, mentally smacking himself. Why cool? Niall probably knows you fancy him now. Niall nodded, smiling back at Harry.

“Yeah. It is cool.”

Hey guys! How are you? Good I hope :) well, heres chapter 3! It’s not that entertaining, I know. But it’ll get better!

At least I hope it will… Anyways! Today’s quote:

You say you love the rain, but you open your umbrella. You say you love the sun, but you find a shadow spot. You say you love the wind, but you close your windows. This is why I am afraid; you say that you love me too.”- William Shakespeare

That’s my favorite quote ever. It’s so cute! :) I just… asdfghjkl thanks for the feels Shakespeare.
