Nervous (A Shawn Mendes x Niall Horan Fanfic) ✅

(Part 8)

Niall’s POV

“Niall, what’s up?” Louis asked, opening the door to his and Harry’s apartment.

“I need your help,” I stated.

“Well, come on in and I’ll see if I can help,” Louis said.

“Thanks,” I said, walking into the apartment.

“Harry!” Louis yelled, shutting the apartment door.

“Louis!” Harry yelled back.

“Niall’s here,” Louis said.

“He is?” Harry asked, walking down the hall.

“Yeah,” I said. “And I’m here for advice from the two of you.”

“You know we can’t give girl advice,” Louis said.

“I know,” I said. “That’s why I came to you two.”

“Niall’s got a guy crush,” Harry said in a sing-song voice.

“Yeah, and I need your guys’ advice,” I said.

“What advice do you need? How to talk to him? Does little Niall need to know how to flirt?” Louis asked.

“Uh, yeah,” I said.

“He’s pretty serious,” Harry said to Louis.

“Then it’s settled. I’m going to call Liam and Zayn. We’re going to need their help as well,” Louis said, running to his phone.

“Now that it’s just the two of us, what’s this guy like?” Harry asked.

“Well, he’s sweet, nice, and man is he hot!” I said.

“What’s his name?” Harry asked.

“Shawn,” I said.

“Mendes?” Harry asked.

I nodded.

“He’s a good friend of mine,” Harry said. “I met him before one of Taylor’s concerts and we became friends pretty fast.”

“Yeah?” I asked.

“Yeah,” Harry said. “You know, I never would have guessed that he was gay. He is gay, right?”

“Of course he is! If he was straight we’d be having bigger issues,” I said.

Harry laughed.

“What’s going on in here?” Louis asked.

“Niall’s just telling me about the guy he fancies,” Harry said.

“Oh?” Louis asked. “Can he tell me too?”

Harry looked over at me.

“I want to wait until Liam and Zayn get here,” I said.

“But they said they’d be here in five minutes and five minutes is too long,” Louis whined.

“Don’t they live ten minutes away though?” Harry asked.

“Oh shit, they do,” Louis said before beginning to laugh. “Liam is going to get another speeding ticket.”

I chuckled at Louis comment just before there was a knock at the door.

“I’ve got it!” Louis said, running to the front door.

He opened it to reveal Liam and Zayn standing there with random stuff in their arms.

“Holy shit that was fast. Maybe even less than five minutes,” Louis said, shutting the door behind Zayn and Liam as they walked into the apartment.

“It was three and a half minutes,” Zayn said. “Three and a half minute in a supposed to be ten minute drive.”

“Don’t get mad at me, Niall needs our help,” Liam said.

“Got enough stuff there?” I asked, as Liam put the stuff he was holding on the counter.

“Not really, there’s still some stuff left in the trunk,” Liam said.

My eyes widened.

“He’s joking,” Zayn said, calming me down. “Thank goodness.”

“What all do you have there anyway?” Harry asked, as Zayn put his armload on the counter next to Liam’s pile.

“Well, we have candy, popcorn, fuzzy blankets, some ice cream, and tea,” Liam explained. “Ya know, so Niall can spill his tea to us.”

“Holy crap,” I said.

“So,” Liam said, “I’m going to pop the popcorn and make the tea. But when I’m done, you better be ready to spill your tea.”

“Is it just me or does Liam seem more gay than usual today?” Harry asked.

“It’s not just you,” Zayn, Louis, and I said in unison.
